Scientific study of the flood region oI

Scientific study of the flood regionof
the West must, in the opinion Of the Bos-
ton Transcript, be of slightly hopeless
nature for farmers do not know how to
farm there much better than here. In
other words, it seems to be the penny
wise instinct of nine e-tenths of men who
come into possession of a large tract of
ground to cut down as many trees as
possible in the shortest space of time.
This disregard of future conditions
brought about by tree-cutting is very
serious matter, which may need Con-
pressiona interference on the upper Mis-
sissppi banks. As Professor Water
house, of Washington University, says:
at is certain that, even if the forests do
not increase the rainfall, they at all
events insure its slow and useful distri-
button. This is highly and important
fact which statesmen desirous of improv.
ing the navgability of the Mississippi
River cannot afford to ignore. The i'm
portance OF the subject invites tho grave
consideration of our National Legislators.
If more stringent forestry laws would at
all serve to maintain the volume of the
Mississippi, then Congress would be
taithless to its duty If it failed to enact
them. A judicious preservation oil
northern woodlands might perhaps pre-
vent the expenditure of additional mill
ions in deepening the channel OF the
river" The complication of cares that
tho great river brings upon its bene-
dciaries is only eqauled by its harvest OF
blessings, like that other "FAther oil
Waters" Father Nile.

The Atlanta Constitution remarks: "Iu
1866 we had no money, no credit. no
hope. Many'of our cities were in ashes,
orr plantations were wrecked, and our
railways were worn out. To-day we
have land of peace and plenty, 43, 600
miles OF railway, and our average per-
centage of increase Of per capita wealth
for the decade ending in 1890 was 100
per cent. more than that of New Eng
land or the Central West. We are draw
ing capital and we arc making capital.
Ten years ago we had 220 National
banks; now we have $50. The per-
centage of the increase of our foreign
exports is about five times the combined
gain at the other ports of the country.
A few days ago we showed by reliable
statistics thai we have fewer failures,
with smaller liabilities, in the South
thanin other sections. We showed, too,
that in development and production our
progress had been phenomenal, and that
the growth of our diversified manufac-
lures made total during the last five
years of over 1900 new industries.
Now, take this fact: Since 1888 our as.
sessed pre- perty has increased 81 900,
900, 900 in value, according to the re-
ports for 1902

AlMY MUST HANG.


Final Decision of the Supreme Court.
Frank c. Almy, the murderer of Christie
Warden at Hanover, y. H., in July Of last
year, is to hang.
The last resource of the defence unless il
be an appeal for mercy TO the governor and
council upon grounds difficult now to con.
Ccive Of, was exhausted in the effort made
by counsel to obtain for him a new trial upop
exceptions taken to the method of trial
which was by the court instead OF by a jury
The application for new trial>hls been
denied. The claim of the defence was that
his trial was an unconstitutional one, for
the reason that the legislature had no power
to pass the statute now III force which pro-
vides that the court may In the case Of. a
plea of guilty on the part of prisoner ar
ragned for murder, find the degree of the
crime of which he is guilty and pass sentence
accordingly. The constitution, in effect, says
that the legislature shall pass no law which
shall subje prisoner to capital punish
ment without jury trial.
Amy pleaded guilty TO the Indictment
found Of prcmcditated murder. His case
was heard BY Chief Justice Doe and Asso-
ciatc Justice Allen, who found the degree Of
his guilt to be murder in the first degree aud
he was accordingly sentenced To death twice,
in the first instance while on bis way to
prison and again after further testimony had
been heard in his case.
The exceptions filed in his behalf were
heard orally and by brief by the fun bench
early last month, and were passed upon by
the same tribunal with the result that OF
unanimous Endorsement Of the action of the
chief justice and his associate at the trial
term.
The consequence of this will be that Amy
will suffer death upon the gallows for
crime which In atroCity has scarcely found a
parallel in New England criminal records.

Cheap Roads of Crushed Stone.

1t would be quite easy to have good
roads, thinks ID. A. Barker, If all would
do their part of the necessary work.
For threo.f .fourths OF the highways, or
for al! except the main roads, the only
thing needed at first is to lay down a
cubic yard of finely crushed stone with.
out grading or any other labor. After
a road district has roadbed like that,
the whole length, then the grading can
be attended to. 1t is an easy matter to
90 uphill if the road be hard and smooth.
The town of Bergen, in Gonessee
County, N, Y, owns largosize stone.
crusher, and the Road Commissioner
says the whole cost to the town, where
the stone is donated, and the crushed
stone drawn by the road districts, is
only about eighty cents per lineal rod.
The stone should be crushed fine, then
it will cement together, and where the
road is narrow lay the stone on one side
of the centre, so as to have a dirt track
when the roads are dry. The best way
is three tracks; stone in the middle. -

Tn, Opposition of Mars.

1t Is amusing to note the amount OF infor-
nation whici the papers are just now giving
out about the planet Mars as well rs the
qua ity OF it read the other day in one
Of the morning papers that at the time o
the opposition Of Mars on the 81, it would
be only 1900 miles distant from the earth;
but the testimony Of astronomers makes the
distance 2G,0OO.O0D miles. This is a sight
difference, Of course and one which should
not disturb the equanimity Of the average
reporter, as II i, about as near the mark as he
is supposed to get things. However, the
planet Mars will not approach the earth as
near as it did in ISIS, when 4 Western rail
way engineer mstook the ruddy orb for a
LANCER signal and side-tracked his train.
