The American Forestry Congress.

During this month the annual meet
ing Of the American Forestry Con-
gress will be held in Boston, Mass.
The call for the meeting says that
'the natural source of a yearly pro-
duct of $500, 900, 900, which the forests
at present represent, deserves careful
outstanding with view to its contin-
uity, and calls for due consideration
of its interests by legislators as well
as by the people at large. Without
INDUCING ia the cries of alarmists, we
have good reasons and sufficient data
to assert that the present policy, if
continued, must seriously affect this
factor of wealth at no distant time. !"
1t further states that, ''in view of the
far>reaching influences exerted by the
forests, wastefulness In the methods
of numbering and the reckless des-
truction by fires has become criminal"
The national government will be re-
auested to pursue wise and conserv
alive policy in regard to its own for

to protect her forest resources. 3. The

Modern Science,

Prof. Leslie, the retiring president,
in his recent address to the American
Association for the advancement of
Science, regretted that the age of ro-
nance In science is already part Of
the forgotten past. The new world
has grown grey-headed in so years,
lntolerant of the irrresponsibility the
sportlveness, the poetry, the music,
the superstition, the affections of its
YOUTH; dealing only in hard facts and
IN their causes and consequences;
weighing and measuring all things;
Analysing all things; collating COM
pairing, and classifying; insisting up
on lnvetigati0n at all points; formu-
lating rigid laws; scoffing at the I'M
seen and unknowable, and, transmits
ting the fear of God and the hope of
heaven into zeal for the exact de-
termination of the units of force, and
a confident expectation that railroads
will soon traverse all the unoccupied
regions of the earth and malleable
steel replace wood in the mechanic
arts. Nevertheless, the votaries of
science physical or natural, are know
ingly or unknowingly lettering the
condition of mankind. Every advan-
cement in science is, of its own nature
an Improvement of the common
wealth.
Every successful study of the laws
of the world we inhabit inevitably
brings about more intelligent and
victorious conflict with the material
evils of life. Encouraging thought
lessness, discouraging superstition,
exposing the folly of vice, and putting
the multitudes of human society on a
fairer and friendlier footing with each
other. The arts of philanthropy are,
therefore as direct an outcome of
science as the lighting of the public
streets are the warming of our homes.
Cruelty and shame are sproducts of
the night. The daylight is friend to
friendliness. The progress of civil
cation and the progress of science are
alike typified by the progressively
brilliant and general illumination of
cities.

long way in his house. For the bene-
fit of those who can not understand
how man can divide match in four
parts, the following plan is given:
"Have a thin>bladed penknife; lay the
match on a smooth surface, red end
pointed toward you; split the match
by pressing down upon it with the
knife, being careful not to cut across
the gram" Long practice has made
this fellow so sklllful that he rarely
fails to make one match do the work
of four. Once in a while his wife
used to muster UP courage to appro-
pirate chicken from their flock and
bake it for dinner. Upon his return
home this man, who is SO thinking"
as some of the neighbors put it, used
