TO PRESERVE THE FORESTS
Secretary Smith Asks the Opinion of Emil
nent Scientific Authority.

Washington, d. G, March g. In a
ietter 10 Prof. WolcOtt Gibbs. president
Of the National Academy of Science,
Secretary Smith asked for an official
expression from the academy on the
following points:
First II is desirable and practicable
10 preserve from fire and 10 maintain
permanently as forested lands. those
portions of the public domain now bear
ing wood growth from the supply OF
timber.
Second. How far does the influence Of
FORGET upon climatic soil and water con-
ditiOns make desirable a policy of for
est conservation in regions where the
public domain is principally situated?
Third. What specific legislation should
he enacted 10 remedy the evils now con-
dessedly existing?
The secretary recalls that his prede-
cessors in office for the last twenty
years had vainly called attention to the
;nadequacy and confusion OF existing
laws relating to the public timber lands
and consequent absence of an intelligent
policy in their administration. resulting

GREAT PHOTOGRAPHY.
What the Wonderful Invention May Show
Regarding Things We
Already Know.

az is an astounding discovery-one OF
the most marvellous Of the present age
II was in these words that an emf
nent scientist lately referred to the new
and wonderful invention in photogra-
ply which everybody is discussing. This
great invention, as most people are
aware, enables photographers 10 take
pictures Of objects completely hidden
from the sight. In a recent expert
ment. for instance, a portrait of a man
was secured, although he was separated
from the photographer by three-inch
partItion. In another case, a picture
was obtained of all the bones, muscles,
blood vessels and internal organs in
mans body.
In speaking of this wonderful dis
coverv a, weIl-known New York physi-
clan recently said: 'If thousands OF
people who are walking the streets to-
day and attending 10 business could
only see a photograph of their internal
organs, they would be filled with alarm
and dread. They would see their liver
and kidneys clogged with impurities
and their blood filled with deadly secre-
tons which poison the whole system.
They would see these delicate organs
slowly but surely giving way under this
corroding poisoning influence. On,
what an effect such a picture would
have"
The doctor is perfectly right. but it
the same time there are thousands or
people who need no photograph to tell
them that there is something wrong
with their health. They know that they
do not feel as well as they ought TO feel.
mi IL e IL
BUSINESS, headaches, baekaches, stomach
troubles, constipation and dull, heavy
sensations. They feel miserable, but
do not know why they suffer. II is only
the skilled physician who knows that
these symptoms are all caused by the
liver and kidneys being out of order.
When these organs of the body fail TO
act properly the health speedily break,
down.
1t was knowledge of this important
fact that led TO one of the greatest dis
coVeries of modern times. For long
years the brightest men in the medical
profession sought for a remedy which
would cure all these arrangements OF
the liver and kidneys, and at last they
succeeded in finding ii. This great RENE
dy, which has proved a blessing to
thousands, is Warmers Safe Cure, a rem
edy that today, is known and honOred
all over the world. No other remedy
has every equalled it for making weak,
rundown people feel strong and well.
Tt is universally admitted to be the
safest and best remedy for curing every
form of liver and kidney disease. 1t
puts an end to stomach troubles, puri-
fies and enriches the blood and restores
lost vitality.
This great Safe Cure is not an expert
ment. II has been in use for over TWEEN
ty years and has been the means of saw
ing millions of lives. 1t is the only
remedy prescribed by the worlds lead
ing physicians. No other remedy COM
pares with it for building up the sys-
tenn and imparting new life to every
part Of the body.

In Prof. Gibbs reply to the secretary's

The forests Of the public domain ex>

mended plan for the general treat
ment of the forest-covered portions of
the public domain. The academy, that
its report might be valuable as a basis
for future legislation, Prof. Gibbs said,
must consider:
First. The question of the ultimate
ownership of the forests now belonging
| to the government; that Is, what por-
| tons of the forest on the public domain
shall be allowed to pass, either in part
or entirely, from government control
| into private hands.
Second. How shall the government
| forests be administered so that the in
| habitants of adjacent regions may draw
| their necessary forest supplies from
| them without affecting their perman-
/ ency?
Third. What provision is possible and
| necessary to secure for the government
| a continuous honest and intelligent
management of the forests of the pub

WHOLE FAMILY BURNED UP
G. II. Clubhouse, Wife and Five Chhdren
Perish Near Alma, Wis.

Alma, Wis, March AT about four
O'Clock this morning the house of G. III.
Dollhouse, at Herold, five miles from
this city, was destroyed by fire, caus-
ing the death of the family of seven
persons, father, mother and five chill
dren, ranging in age from to 10 years
The origin Of the fire is unknown, but 1t
is supposed TO have originated from
the explosion of a lamp which they
were in the habit of leaving burning
all night. There is some talk that
the fire was caused by robber who
might have set fire 10 the house TO
cover his tracks, after numbering the
family for money, amounting TO 5000,
which Mr.. Dollhouse was known 10 have
in the house. AS some money has al
ready been found this theory Is prob
ably wrong. Tn fathers body was found

Weak points have been slurred over
and undue emphasis has been laid upon
unessential matters. Lord Salisbury
has shown himself not too skillful, tact

lands honor and interests"
The article then proceeds to criticize
three points in the British case: namely,
the question of the extent to which the
English claim TO Barima Point has been
modified by Spanish mission settlements
the validity of the Schomburgk line in
the light of the Aberdeen-Fortique cor.

ruthless destruction of the treaty nego>
tiations by Lord Granville, Lord Fftz~
maurice and Guzman Blanco in 1885.
The Chronicle concludes, however, taht
stbe TangIewood Tale Of controversy,
of which only the fringe IS touched in
the blue book, is only further argu>
ment for the necessity OF arbitration.
The whole question could probably be
settled in ten minutes by abandoning
the worthless Barima Point
The Times prints the British case in
extenso and in an editorial on the
subject, says:
I'VE rely without nnisgiving upon the
influence il must exert upon the minds
of the Amer lean people. Hitherto
they have heard only the Venezuelan
side of the case, in which, there is rea-
son to believe facts have been dis
Forted, documents garbfed ors uppress-
ed and all the arts of interruptions 1T
igants resorted to. In the presence OF
the sober and lawyerlike presentment
Of our rights we do not fear that any
devices of this sort Will prevail with
the population, every man Of which
is accustomed to think and judge for
himself. We are confident that no
new facts can be adduced capable or
seriously impairing our main position.
We shall be surprised Of the Americans
fail to realize the strength Of our case
and disappointed if they do not ac-
knowledge that out conduct has been
just, forbearing and magnanimous.
The Standard, the Conservative or
gan, in an editorial says:
"Sir Frederick Pollock has fulfilled
a difficult duty in a most mastery way.
We await the Venezuelan answer with
a. strong feeling of confidence. Every
intelligent man, after mastering our
case, must divest himself of any ling
ering suspicion that in maintaining our
view of our rights we are touching even
the fringe OF the Monroe doctrine.
The Graphic considers the case TO be
simply overwhelming.
"EngliShmen must be astoniShed at
their own moderation" is says. Had
the foreign office really known the
strength of its own case, assuredly it
would never have proposed the conces-
siOns offered by Lord Aberdeen in 1874
and Lord Granville in 1881"
