TIE fact that the population in
France Is rem inning stationary, if not
actually diminishing, has provided po-
litical economists and moralists with
a fertile theme for comment. A paper
lately read by NJ Lagneau to the
A academy of Medicine on the tendency
of French families toward rapid extinc-
ton throws a new light on the subject.
1t has been calculated that of one
hundred families existing in the time
Of King Philippe Augusta, who died
in 1923, only four had representatives
surviving in 1910. Among the savants
of different countries it has frequently
been mr-ntained that while such a ten
dency prevails among the upper classes
the reverse was the case with the low
er; but NJ. Lagneau pointed out that
in France stats tics proved that there
was not the slightest difference in this
respect between rich and poor, all sec
tions of society alike betray,ng the
same tendency to extinction in the
male line A careful calculation
showed that as matters at present
stand one hundred families, each with
three children, would in the second
generation have among them all a sum
total of eight three descendants, that
in the fifth generation half these fami-
lies would have no male representa-
tives, and that in the fifteenth the fam
lily name in nine out of ten cases would
perish altogether. NJ. Lagneau con
Guided with the significant remark that
the day would come when the French
population would be entirely dependent
for its growth on immigration.

to. Others make their homes in the
two cities of Chicago and Milwaukee,
where their mills put into marketable
shape the timber which has absorbed
sunshine and water for hundreds of
years in northern Wisconsin and Mich
igan. Their capital calls into being a
great industry and adds to the general
wealth and prosperity Of the Northwest
to a marked degree.
A queer announcement is found at
many Of the country taverns patronized
by raftsmen and lOggers. It reads :

It is simply a polite request to men
whose feet are shod with inch spikes to
impale chips upon these before entering
the house. A Clipped boot is mercifuI

episodes in the raftman's round of
duties. A raft, plunging over a dam
of ten-fOOt fall, IS a spectacle which
brings out the natives in force. To
keep the bow oar in position and so
maintain control of the floating mass,
is the chief consideration, and this is
often a task rendered hercuIean by the
mighty rushing of the water But
these exciting periods are alternated
with quieter hours when the raft drifts
peacefully down the swollen creek.
Often when one raft becomes uncOn-
trollable and grounds hard below a
dam, succeeding RATS are relied upon
to act as battering rams for the ground
ed one. Strength, activity and skill
are called into play by the duties of a
raftsman. These rough-lOOking men
will perform marvellous deeds with the
ponderous logs, riding them with the

tiOn Of timber has limited the avail
able trees to regions pretty far from
the main streams, yet the logs are
transported to water that is "nayigable"
at times, without dependence on win
ter's snow.
The log slide IS a peculiar device. In
1t, laid end to end, horsepower is used
with such effect that a string of logs is
pushed long distances, until a stream
is reached sufficiently large to supply
transportation when spring freshets
have quickened its pulses. The cylin-
ders of white pine, meanwhile, await
the coming of the floods. When there
is water sufficient the driving" of a
flock of logs begins. The lumberman
takes naturally to so designating in
animate wood. The "hOck" is turned
loose in the stream and the men toll
after, helping the water to prOpel its
igneOus burden by prying and lifting
and guiding the clumsy logs.
To prevent a jamming or blockade
of the logs en- route is a labor requir-
ing experience, Judgment, and a deal
of activity. But finally the flock is
safely landed in the "bOOm," a waterv
pen where the logs are assembled into
small RATS for floating to the larger
and rOOmier river where still larger
RATS are assembled. All along the
route OF the newly launched logs are
mill-dams OF greater or less height.
The crossing of these form exciting

IN many instances stand between him
and death.
Even on the wide river, shoals, hid
den rocks and sharp bends call for Wig
lance on the raftsman's part, and it is
not until the Mississippi Is reached
that he can feel that his duties are
chiefly confined to keeping the raft in
the middle of the wide stream, and by
the time the big water IS sighted the
raftsman feels that he has fully earned
the right TO have a deal of fun, and to
go home only as heavy in pocket as he
is light of heart.
The question Is sometimes asked :
VIII the great forests of the Northwest
give out? OF course they VIII. Year
in and year out, hundreds of millions
of feet Of lumber are sawed to meet the
demands of commerce. The denuGa-
ton of the forests of the Northwest
goes steadily on, and as the mighty
hills grow older they grow balder. The
raftsman and the lUmberman Will for
many years be found component parts
of the up-riYer population.
OF the rank and file of this army of
wood handlers we have treated more
especially. Above these are the solid,
mOneyed members of this army, the men
whose capital is invested in the lumber
lands, IN the cutting of the hgneOus
crop and its shipment by water and rail
to distant markets. Many of these men

times picturesque and interesting to the
stranger. A skiIlful artist while on
tour through Northern Wisconsin and
the Upper Peninsula succeeded in
catching many characteristic sketches
of life with the raftsmen. Along the
river banks, while the raftsmen are
having hilarious time of it on shore,
the RATS are being taken charge of by
purchasers. Lumber RATS are taken to
the board-yard, and timber to the saw
mill. Months before these fleets of
fallen trees have reached the city, the
mOnarchs of the forest have crashed to
the earth. During the summer and
autumn months this cutting goes on
along small streams tributary to the
rivers of the great Northwest. When
the logs float down to the place of
the sawmiIl, it floats out of sight
as an individual and is lost for

A GERMAN has made experiments to
ascertain the amount of loss thai coal
undergoes when exposed to the wealth
er. It viii, perhaps, surprise many
readers to hear that the loss is consid-
cradle. Anthracite and camel coal, as
might be anticipated from their com
pactness, suffer least; but ordinary Ii
luminous coal loses nearly on third in
weight and nearly one-half IN gas-mak-
ing quality. From this it viii viii be
understood that coal should be kept
dry and under cover, and that to expose
it to rain or damp is to lessen its guam
tity and weaken It's quality. Here,
too, we have an explanation of the in
feriority of the great heaps Of small
coal which cucumber the ground in the
mining districts.

John Guy Vassar was a fortunate man
