OREsTRY.

The American Forestry congress will hold
its annual session in Philadelphia next week.
Its purpose is, by promoting appropriate leg
islation and otherwise, to preserve the forests
of the country from wasteful methods of
management and wanton destruction, and to
encourage suoh systems of culture and use
that the forests may yield their products con-
tinuously, giving regular annual profit,
without losing their character and value as
forests.
Several of the European countries long ago
found out that 1t would pay to look after
their forests, and they are now we'll taken
care of. In this country there has been little
attempt to keep up or add to the value Of the
forests Here and there, however, there is q
man who understands the value of such work
Alfred Dodge, a large manufacturer Of Dodge
vile, New York, owns great tract of forest
land in the Adirondacks, which he has put
in charge of professional foresters, trained te

AN INTERESTING SCHOOL.


A very Interesting school is to be started
in Springfield, Massachusetts. It will be
called the Christian Industrial and Techno-
logical school, and have for it's object to give
thoroughly practical and Christian eduoa-
tion to young men and women, paying es-
pecial attention to the training of teachers
for public manual training schools and to the
needs of foreign missionary fields. In it
'smeehaMcal missionaries" will be trained
who, it is believed, will work with as great
efficiency in evangelizing degraded natives as
the "medical missionaries" As the school
is distinctively Christian, and the hope is
thakall the education gained In it will be
used for the furthersnoe Of sound morality
and practical Christianity, both in daily liv-
ing and aggressive work, a systematic course
Of Bible instruction and advanced methods
in Christian work will be offered all who
desire it, Thus the founders say that all
who 60 from the school, whether they de-
vote their entire time to Christian work or
not, will have the principles which shall en-
able them to be skilled workmen for Christ
in the home, the shop, the church, or
wherever opportunity ia given for doing
good. AS q result of the training given 1t is
hoped that many will offer themselves as
mechanical missionaries to go to foreign
fields or into the difficult places in our own
land. There is great opportunity for men
of this kind in lands like Africa, where very
little is known abeut the trades; and their
influence may be like that of the medical
missionaries and open the way for the easy
preaching of the gospel. In our own ooun-
try men of this kind of training could work 6
part Of the time and earn good share Of
their living while spending the remainder in
hand-to hand personal work, visiting the
homes of the laboring men and showing 6
real interest in them.
The development of this idea will be
watched with great interest. There may bs
more in it than most people would at frs
think

Another crime has been added to the list
of the French criminal code 1t is "hemi-
eide by imprudence" and is defined a. oaus-
ing the death of another by any foolish act
not criminal In itself.
There is nothing new under the sun. Mr..
J. w. Sullivan publishes in the Twentieth
Century what he calls "a Collapse to Henry
Georges Pretensions," showing that the
leading thoughts of Mr.. Georges "Progress
and Poverty" had already been put before
the world thirty years earlier by Patrick Ed
ward Dore, who published a book on s'The
Theory of Human Progression" in London
in 1850.
It is found by actual experiment that the
boring of artssian wells on the great plains

for this purpose, is to provide storage water
