K0REST FIRES.

The matter of forest fires is attracting 8
 little of the attention it merits, but it could
 attract good deal more before it would have
 enough. There has been great increase in
 them lately. Railroads penetrate almost
 every great pine forest that remains, and
 steamboats navigate the large streams that
 run through them. The engines are con-
 stantly throwing off sparks, any one of which
 is capable of starting fire in resiuous boughs
 if they are dry. Steam sawmills cause many
 forest fires. A still larger number are caused
 by hunters, amateur fishermen and tourists. They build fires for the purpose of cooking their game and ordinarily go away and leave them burning A fire may slumber for a week in g log or stump and burst into a flame as soon as brisk wind occurs. It is almost impossible, even with trained men, good ap- paratus and a liberal supply of water, to pre- vent the spread of a fire in forest of resin ous trees. The ground is covered with ma terial that will burn as readily as timber. When heated it gives off volatile oils that will burn in the air. A fire, once started, will produce sparks which will be carried long distances and be the means of producing flames in fifty places. A great fire always produces current of air which carries the flame to more fuel
 The damage done by these fires is not con- fined to the burning of the timber. In dozen counties in Michigan forest fires have ruined the soil in large districts. They consumed all the carbon and nitrogen contained, and left nothing but mineral substances. They reduced the country to the condition of 8 desert The government of this country could we'll afford to take some measures to prevent such damage. In France, Germany, Spain and Italy persons who fell trees ou their own land are obliged to remove all the branches, so they will not cause fires. They are also obliged to clear wide openings, that will prevent the spread of fires and will af- ford 8 way for engines to pass. The forests in some of these countries are annually in- spected by officials to determine if they are dangerous. Forest inspectors there perform the duties assigned to building inspectors in most cities in this country. The province of Toronto, Canada, has adopted measures that have resulted in putting an end to the de- structive forest fires that were once of so fre- ouank oncurrauoa thara
