CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
Gsrmany'a Census aud Colonies.

Germany's Census aud Colonies.
From the New York Tribune.
Germany is rel oiclng in her latest cen
sus returns, especially when she com
pRres them with those OF France AS is
well known, for some years there has
been practically no increase OF popula-
tion In France, and for many years-in-
deed. for number OF generstions-the
rate Of increase has been very low. In
Germany, on the contrary, there is a
large and steady increase-perhaps
larger than in any other Europeen coun.
try excepting Great Britain. The Ger
man Imperial census OF last December, of
which the returns have just been pub
lished, revealed population OF 81 244 .
503. Five years before It was 40 428, 47O.
The Increase was thus 2,8i6 033. or more
than 81 per cent. In FIVE years. In 1871
the population OF the Empire was only
al O60 S46 The increase OF the quarter
century has thus amounted to more than
II, 900, 600. This has been effected, more
over, In spite Of emigration, and In spite
OF the depressing Influence of the mlli-
tary system This condition OF affairs
gives a great impulse TO the colonial spirit
In Germany. For France to build up a
colonial empire, when her population ia
Increasing at the rate of less than a mil
Hon In n generation, seems we'll
nigh hopeless task Bat Germany, It Is
argued. should surely be able to succeed.
Her increase is sufficient to populate ex-
tenslve colonies and yet make good
showing In each home csnsus Since
1871 she might have spared a million or
two, who would have been sufficient to
form a magnificent colony Iadeed, she
has been sending out emigrAnts to for
eign lands ct a much greater rate than
that. The trouble is her emigrants do
not go to her colonial territories. They
come to the United States. or 20 to

wanton waste Of TImber.

Fortunately for the people residing In
the most populOus and civllizsd portions
of the country timber is no longer used
for fuel. Bat We have no substitute for
the many other uses for which the trees
OF our forests are necessary. For centu-
rlea We have pursued a system Of wAnton
destruction toward our timber lands and
as result the possibility arises before
us as to what we can do without them.
This is not all. Destroying our trees has
caused certain climatic changes which
have made the rainfall uncertain In many
locallties, 30 that we are not only threat
ened with a famine Of lumber, bnt wi tn
a still greater one Of q scarcity Of those
bounties from the soil without which
human life cannot be sustained.
Our forests arc not yet denuded. They
are still immense and it is believed with
proper care their fnsl destruction can be
avoided. This has led to much consider
alton Of forestry and several expert
ments have been made on large scale
which 60 to show that II this science Is
studied and practically enforced by the
owners OF our woodlands the timber Of
the country can b, increased and enough
can be annually raised to meet the i'm
mense drAughts which are made upon 1t
A most interesting and authentic exper-
iment of this kind has bsen and still Is
being made by George w. Vanderbilt at
his estate In North Carolina. For this
purpose he set aside forest Of five thou.
sand acreF, and employed an expert for
ester with result which has already
beeu highly satisfactory.
The work has been IN progress some
years, and Forester PInchots report on
the experiment has been given to the
public For the FIRST years operation Il
shows an expenditure OF $9,0i1 rs,
with receipts amounting to 50 COZ IL and
material on hand worth at local market
prices $3,9l1 20 or 50 5l9 80 In all
showing deficit OF only 1892 40. In the
year 1898 this defult became a surplus

These are very interesting details. anS

English and American illustrators.

In the little outer gallery of the Fine
Arts society a few Of Mr.. G. Dana Glib
sons drawings are hanging. Mr.. Glib
son, as is well known, is an American
illustrator. In America artists who
work in black and white are less ham
pered by traditions and conventions
than they are here. It has been, one
might say, part Of their artistic creed
that the business Of the wood engraver,
or the process man, is to reproduce their
drawings and not theirs to see that the
reproduction is made as easy and sim
pie as possible. They do not allow them
selves to be bound by any hard and fast
rules as to size. lines or materials
Mr.. Gibson works on a scale that
would take away the breath of the Eng
lish photoengraver, who looks upon the
craftsman as a mere slave Of the
footrule. But SO we'll does Mr.. Gibson
know what he is doing that his draw
ings gain instead of lose by reduction on
the pages Of the magazines The origi-
nails are clever and bold and free, but
they are somewhat wanting in the re-
finement which usually distinguishes
the prints after them. For this reason
the smaller single figures, where there
is no attempt at elaborate composition,
are here most oharming-the "Reiane"
