roPREvENT FonEsr FIRES.

People in this country who are inter- sstsd in the prevention of the forest fires which do so much damage every year can perhaps find some useful ideas In the new law for the prevention of such fires in France. This law takes the place of a law which has been in force about twenty years, and 1t was constructed with great care. Its first provision is to prohibit during the months of June, July, August and September all fires ia forests or shrubby waste lands, or within . distance of 200 metres from their boundaries. Among the fires prohibited during the close season is the so-cslled petit feu, by which strips of undersrowth were carefully burned every six or seven years in the cork forests. The ninth clsuss directs landed proprietors who lave adjoining lands with woody growths on them to keep 6 strip of land, from twenty to fifty metres, between the two estates entirely free from shrubs or conifers. Another clause enscts that sim liar bare strips twenty metres broad shall
 be kept up along all lines of railroad through wooded area, and that these
 strips in adjoining property shall be kept clear at the expense of the railroad com
 psnies. All proprietors whose woods are
 cut down In clearing these strips are to ob-
 tain indemnities. This is new provision,
 and is aimed in favor of the extension of
 railroads. In the handling of fire, If .
 counter fire is started to head 1t of, no
 indemnity arises for woods burned un-
 der such circumstancss. The fires here tofors in France have been frequently
 caused by sportsmen or poachers during
 the dry season, and this has led to the delay of the shooting season until the Sep tsmber rains set in. The construction of c network of roads greatly facilitates fire protection bymskins the forests accessible
 and by incrsasing their value, and the gov ernment offers . bonus of q, 900 e mile for roads constructed in the forest dis tricts. Severe penalties are exactsd where the forest law is tranegressed, and If the railroad companies do not clear the fire lines on their roads the French forest de- partment clears them at their expense. This law seems we'll calculated to accom- plish the object for which it was made.
 It could be initiated with profit iR this country.

Yesterday. Senators have to be handled
with care, especially when they are as

ised all that could be expected or desired.

His Holiness, the Pope Of Rome,
Is greatly disturbed over the I'M
settled controversies in the Ameri-
car church, controversies that
range themselves as Corrigan and
anti-Corrigan. The mission of the
Pope's ablegate has not succeeded
in quieting these controversies,
though the actions of Satolli are
officially declared acceptable to the
Vatican, and all attempts to re-
move him are frowned down upon.
The patience Of Rome is infinite
but it will be exhausted some of
these days and then the thunder
OF the law will be heard in I'M

solute submission to authority

power must and will be acknow-
lodged.
