Figures That VIII StartIe the Tn
initiated By Their YasIDexs.

A country with 7o0O0,O 600 people, living in
100000 houses, 100000 of which are
built of wood, must have enormous lum-
Der resources. The person who assumes
this viii not be compelled to change his
mind when he examines the records Of
production. They show that the United
States is now consuming about 10000 OOO, 900
feet annually, valued at 45U,G0O,O9O AT this
rate OF consumption the estimated stand
ing supply of 100000 000.000 feet, board
measure. would not last many years, but
there are signs of a growing appreciation
of the desirability of systematic forestry
laws, and other facts which pont TO the
conclusion that timber will be moderately
plentiful in the United States for a LONE
period to come.
The growth of the lumber industry is
an excellent index of the progress and
growth Of the country. In 1870 We find
that the number of men engaged in lum-
bering was 1887, and that their wages
account footed up $32 001, 800, while the pro-
duct of the year was valued at $l6S, l27. 462
Twenty years later 2S6, 1871 men were en-
ployed in numbering, and they earned
SS7. 7S4, 433. their output being S403, 667. 6T5.
Not only do we consume the major part
of this vast product of American forests,
but in addition we import from Canada
from S1e0 600 900 to $50, CO.,, 600 a year. 1t is
years exceed our imports, reaching ST.
y75, 1913 in 1892.
1t is expected that by the end of the
century our lumber interest will have at
tanned its climax, so far as quality pToduc-
ed is concerned. The growing tendency to
substitute more durable materials for
wood in the construction of buildings viii
have a. great effect, and it is not improb-
able that the new forest growths viii be
more than sufficient in many of the older
sections of the union to supply the de-
mand for timber under the changed cir
cumstances.
The greatly increased value of our pro-
ducts of timber during recent years is
largely due TO the growing appreciation
abroad of the finer varieties of American
woods. Indeed. in our own country we
are beginning to recognize the beauty and
value of many woods hitherto little es-
teemed because of their abundance This
appreciation is bound to grow, and it NAV
result in giving a great and needed i'm
petus to forestization in the United
States-San Francisco Call

VISIBILITY OF LIGHTS AT NIGHT.

The results of the experiments in
light visibility. conducted by the inter
national committee on behalf of the
governments of the United States, Ger
many and the Netherlands, have been
handed in The German section gave
as the distance at which a. light of one
candle power became visible 1.40 miles
for a dark, clear night and one mile for
a rainy night. The American expert
ments show that a light of one-candle
power is visible at one mile, and one of
1hree-candle power is plainly visible at
two miles. A ten-candle power light
was seen with q, binocular at four miles,
one of twenty-nine at five miles,
though family, and one of thirty-three
candles at the same distance with diff
Guilty.
To be on the safe side, the expert
ments were made with green light, as
it has been conclusively proved that If
a light of that color fills the requisite
tests a red light of the same intensity
viii more than do so.
It was found that the candle power
of green light which remained visible
at one, two, three and four miles was
two, fifteen, fifty-one and one hundred
and six, respectively. 1t was noticed,
however, that great care had to be ex-
ercised in the selection of the shade of
the color, so as TO give the minimum
Interference with the intensity of the
light. The shade adopted is a, clear
blue green. Yellow and grass green
should not be employed. The tests may
be of interest to railroad men and sea-
men.-PrOgreSsiV Age

AT LEBANON.
Damage Done Greater Than at First
Supposed.

LEBANON, Pa, Sept. 3o.-Later re-
ports show that the damage by the
storm last night was far greater than
at first supposed. In addition to the
roundhouse Of the Lebanon & Corn
wall railroad company being demolish-
ed that of the Cornwall railroad met
with q similar fate The losses sus-
tanned by these two companies will
run into the thousands. The United
Brethren church at Annville was
wrecked, the Sunnyside mills were I'M
roofed. A part Of the roof of the Unit
ed Brethren church in Lebanon was
carried away as well as the dwellings
OF Joseph Strohman and r r. Fretiff
At the Iron City brewery, the boiler
and engine houses were 1eveled to the
ground, the top of the steeple of Salem
lutheran church being also broken
The old brick furnace a. Lebanon is a
mass of ruins. 1t is difficult to esti-
mate the extent OF the damage, as
there were some buildings and orch
ards in the track of the tornado es-
capped.
Wilson Christman and his family had
a most thrilling escape. They had left
the house. when one of the walls col
iapsed, filling their sleeping apartments
with a mass of brick and mortar.
A portion of the steeple of the Re-
formed church at Jamestown was blown
away, and the steeple of the Sweden
borg church was twisted out of shape.
The roundhouse at fremont was
wrecked. and several engines damaged.
No one was seriously injured as far as
can be learned.

THE GEGSHA PARAsOL.

The Geisha parasol is now largely
represented at all smart functions in
England, since marked by approval at
the queens last garden party.
It is of pagoda form, the ribs being
f1attened out at the edges so as to
display to advantage lining of bouil-
Tonne chiffon or soft silk, finished, in
some cases, with a soft fiounce of lace.
The covering is of plain or chine silk
without any trimming, all elaboration
being reserved for the lining, which is
generally of some contrasting shade.
Racing and club colors can be re-
produced in this manner with charming
effect. A lining which has been par
ticularly popular is in chiffon of a
f1ame-colored hue, called the Racer"
this, with a pale blue silk cover, is
very effective. A lovely Geisha parasol
was entirely Of pure white; another, in
white corded silk, had a lining Of the
palest azure blue chiffon, while a third,
in oriental chine silk, was lined with
primrose. A great advantage of this
shape is that when shut, the flattened
edges of the ribs turn sufficiently back
to show f1ower-like glimpsas of the
lining. Scope is given for every va
riety of handle; the newest, perhaps,
of all are those in colored mother-of-
pearl, while Dresden china handles are
still great favorites = Philadelphia

CHICAGO, Sept. 3O.-one of the most
severe wind storms known for years
ragged over the lake region last night
and part of today 1t seems to have ex-
pended most of it's fury over the upper
half OF Lake Michigan.
The loss of life so far reported is
E1nall-four men having been drowned
by the sinking of the steam barge Su-
matra, at milwaukee, Much minor
damage was done to shipping in Mil
waukee, Grand Haven, Chicago and
other ports, and the masters of such
steamers as were out on the lake over
night report one of the toughest pas
SageS ever experienced. Owing to the
lateness Of the season and threatening
conditions which prevailed for twenty
four hours before the storm broke,
most Of the

pecially, being crowded. This fact
doubtless. explains the small list of
casualties. Along the lake shore in
front Of this city all night and this
forenoon the waves washed over the
sea. wall many feet. In the inner har-
about like corks, the waves dashing
over the breakwater many feet high.
One lumber schooner dragged her
anchors during the forenoon and before
the tugs managed to get her under con-
troll again, had crashed into and sank a
number Of small craft. Those on board
the different vessels We're rescued, how
ever. The steamer Atlanta, of the
Goodrich line, when making her dock
this morning after a very rough pas
sage from Milwaukee, was thrown vio-
lently against the piling by a huge
wave which swept up the river. The
port side Of the steamers planking was
crushed in for a length of twenty-five
feet. The steamer City Of Milwaukee,
from St Joseph, with a few passengers
and a large cargo OF fruit, arrived
MINUS HER UPPER NIAINAIAST,
which was broken OF during the night
and also having part Of her bulwarks
stove in.
When this side Of the lake was
reached the steamship had to haul
around three times before entrance 10
the harbor could be made.
The big tug S. ". Fisher, Of the Lake
Michigan line, left South Chicago yes
te,-day morning with three car ferries
in tow, each loaded with fruit cars.
When the storm struck them last
night, it was determined to run back
TO port, and the tug succeeded in get
ing inside the Chicago breakwater
early this morning, with two of the
ferries. The other broke her lines
about two miles out, and owing to the
roughness of the lake could not be
picked up. Her anchors had been let
go. however. before she broke away
completely, and she was sighted this
afternoon apparently riding safely. 1t
is feared, however, that if the wind
freshens again tonight, she will roll
50 that the freight cars viii be pitched
Snto the lake.
Dispatches from many other lake
points tell substantially the same
story.
On Lake Superior the storm does not
appear to have been so severe, al
though at Duluth a 36-nile gale was
reported.

Young George Smith Believes Ed
ward Chin Stabbed Him.
Edward Chin, the Chinese arrested
some days ago charged with having as
saulted and seriously stabbed George
Smith, son of John Y. Smith, was
taken before the boy at his home yes
terday afternoon for the purpose of de-
termining whether he could identify
Chin as the Chinese who did the cut
ting. The boy asserted the belief that
Chin was his assailant.
The visit to the Smith residence was
made at the instance of Chin's attor-
ney, J. NJ. Hamilton, who informed
Judge Wenger he had good ground for
believing the wrong man had been ar
rested, and as Chin could not procure
bail, it was considerad an unnecessary
hardship to impose upon him to keep
him in Jail if he could not be identified.
Accordingly Judge Wenger, accom-
panied by Assistant County Attorney
Eichnor, J. NJ. Hamilton and Chin were
driven to the Smith residence at
o'clock.
The boy is recovering, but was weak
from loss of blood, and was in bed when
Chin was taken before him. He took
a good look at the Chinese and pro-
nounced him the man. When ques-
toned by the attorneys, he said he
could not positively identify Chin as his
assaisant, as he only saw him by
moonlight, but that he was satisfied he
was the right man. Chin was recon-
mitted. II is understood that Attor-
ney Hamilton expects to prove an alibi
for his client.

CANADIAN PACIFIC.
No Particularly Striking, Develop
ments Yesterday.


MONTREAL, Sept. 3O.-There are no
startling developments in connection
with the Canadian Pacific train dis
patchers' strike. Nearly all incoming
passenger trains have been more or
less delayed today but the railway Of
f1cials claim they are replacing the
strikers and they expect to have
everything running smoothly by to-
morrow. The company's claim, how
ever, is emphatically contradicted by
Chief Pierson and other members of
the strike committees. Pierson tonight
said the situation remains practically
unchanged. He had received advices
from many points which showed that
the men were standing to their colors.
AS to the prospect of the trainmen
and engineers joining the strike Pier
son said he could not speak at present
but that union meetings were being
held at various points to discuss the
situation. AS to the result of the strike
he was confident.
The railway officials state many
operators are applying for work, and
that inconvenience about describes
the situation. There is a great deal of
sympathy expressed for the strikers
whose grievances are set forth in
manifesto published today.

Chicago General Markets.

Chicago, Sept. 30.-No acknowledge
ment of yesterdays decline in wheat
in this market was received from Liv-
erpool. With scarcely any opposition
the market advanced over a cent from
yesterdays close. The generally poor
wire service to the east resulting from
the storms in that section, curtailed or
ders and restricted business to some
extent. Receipts in the northwest were
heavy al S31 cars against $40 last We'd

received 179 cars and inspected out
1900 bushels. Within the first hour
buying orders for large quantities for

ket and further advance of 11ac. was
quickly made. After that moderate
recessions took place, but the major
portion OF the appreciation was retain

closing at 6S76@6S14, Us higher than
yesterday. Estimated receipts for to-
morrow 1S3 cars
Oats gained slightly in price. The
advance was not important nor did 1t
convey any significance. The feeling
of tirmness in the other pits was re-
sponsible for the strength in oats. Re
ceipts were 412 cars and 41,O50 bushels

ceipts for tomorrow 3S5 cars.
