A LESSON FROM MEXICO.
Destruction of the Forests Has Brought
 Drought and DesoIation.

The early conquerors of this country and their followers of today have been very wasteful and careless in the dispo- sition of their forests. with the result of accelerating the dato when they will be compelled to face problem of forest preservation at considerable cost to themselves. Denizens of the northwest are familiar with the rapidity with which the valuable timber areas have been denuded, until now there is scarce ly merchantable tree between Ar kansas and the Canadian line. Many notes of warnings accompanied this de- struction of the northern soft wood for ests, but they fell upon unwilling ears Only after it was too late to stop the mischief did the country begin to recog- nize the indirect value of forests to agri- culture and that no high degree of civ ilization can exist permanently wit out some systematic and adequate forest management. In India the destructi,n ,n of the forests commenced 1000 years ago, and tbat country, having at last seen the folly of such waste, is now en- gagged in the expensive undertaking of reforesting large areas.
 The effect upon rainfall and the pro- duetiveness of the cultivated tracts has already been acknowledged by investi- gators. When Cortes first saw the val ley of Mexico, it was covered with woods not dense, but abundant, from the timber line on the volcanoes down to the waters edge. The reckless cut ting down of the forests by the Span iards in the first century following the conquest in 1521 increased evaporation, caused the lakes to dry up, led to ire quent droughts, followed by occasional floods, and changed the climate of Anahuae.
 Any old rancher will tell stories of streams that flowed when he was boy and will show the dry arroyo now. They all claim that the tablelands had timber in considerable quntities where now there are barren deserts.
 This government has taken some steps in the matter, but it is also necessary for the landowners to assist in this work by planting trees and irrigating them for q few years until they have taken good root. By using good judg- ment in selecting the trees and in plant ing in few years the complaints which are now so frequent of years of droughts will soon become fewer and fewer until they finally cease.

BEAUTIFUL MAGIC LAKE.

The Present Which al Earthquake Made
 to Tenneasee.
 Reelfoot lake, which lies mostly in Obion county and partly i'll Lake, is the largest sheet of water in Tennessee, it being 40 miles i'll length and from to 5 in width.
 This lake, which eyokes rapturous comments from even the most indiffer- ent observer, was formed in few min utes by an earthquake, which, accord ing to the best authorities, occurred be- tween 9 and 3 o'o clock on Saturday morning, Nov. 16, 1911. There were two terrific shocks about 30 minutes apart and many lighter ones between and after. The earth rocked violently, a deafening noise like thunder struck terror to the ear, the atmosphere was heavily laden with something like smoke and vivid and almost constant flashes of lightning illuminated the sur rounding country, and in less time than it takes to write it thousands of acres of lar had sunk far below the level of the hty Mississippi
 Father of Waters rushed into u sunken country, and the suction
 so great that for three hours the
 CT ran up stream, and rafts and boats ,elow the lake were torn from their moorings and went whirling into the seething maddening vortex. As soon as the newly formed lake was filled the river went majestically on its usual course leaving to Tennessee one of the finest fishing resorts in the country, which is annually the Mecca of thor sands of sportsmen.- n.-Cincinnati Com meroial Tribune.

Students Franks.

In The National Magazine ". H. Leavitt tells some amusing stories of the pranks of American art students in Paris. Once the students in one atelier hazed a newcomer by taking all his money, putting him into cab and giv- ing the driver instructions where to take him When the cab halted. tbe penniless student alighted and stood on the curb Will you be so good as 70 light n mateh?'' said the student II dropped napoleon in the cab and can t find it. Whereupon the driver whip ped up and was away in hurry.
 A new student from Algiers amused the studio for awhile by initiating the sounds of v"rious wild beasts and birds. Then the fckle fellows tired of it. So one day, having prepared a big box with breathing holes in it, they put the mimic in it and kept him there three days, at the end of which time he per formed only by request

 Irish Dueling Code.

The Irish dueling code has been adopted with certain notifications by duelists both in England and the Unit ed States. It was drawn up by the Irish bar at the Clonmel assizes in TIT and appears to aim at so arranging matters that no Irishman anxious to fight shall be baked by his wish. "The first of fense requires the first apology, al. though the retort may be more offen- sive. :" "After one fire the retort may be explained away. But if either par ty," the code hastens to add, would rather fight on, after two shots each the principal who made the retort may explain and then the original offender tender his apology. ''When the lie direct is the first offense, the aggressor must either beg pardon in express terms, exchange two shots previous to apolo- gy, or three shots followed by ex- planation, or fire on till severe hit be scored by one of the parties ? "No
 dumb firing, or firing in the air, is admissible. In slight cases the sec- ond hands his principal but one pistol, in gross cases two, holding another case ready charged in reserve. "-Cornhill Magazine.

CYCLING AND ASTHMA.
\ London Physician Says the Former VIII
 Cure the Latter.

Dr. Marcet of London recommends bicycle riding as remedy for asthma Here is what he says about it i'll a let ter to The Medical Record: " Ii asthma is form of mountain sickness and II that distressing affection of high alti- tudes can be cured by training for tne exercise of climbing, why should nos asthma also yield to the training of the respiration carried out by pract1clng the respiratory movements needed to carry the tidal air through the lungs! Of all means of training respiration l thlnk cycling is the best. When person first takes a cycling exercise, it will be found, especially on going up hill, thas the breath is wanting, the heart beats uncomfortably and the legs tire, but after training these discomforts disap- pear, nothing will be thought of ascend ing hills, the heart has become perfectly comfortable, all breathlessness has dis appeared and the legs will no longer feel any fatigue.
 "Cycling exercise. first of all, ln- creases the depth of breathing, and that without fatigue, as the respiratory movements are automatic. At the same time it will aeeustom the rider instinct lively to take in at each respiration the volume of air required to aerate the blood. Persons who do not care for cy- cling out of doors can take the same kind of exercise at home by means of a dummy cycle, consisting of an iron wheel driven by pedals, the resistance of the wheel being so contriyed as to simulate bicycle riding. A strap carried partly around the rim of the wheel can be frightened at will by the rider, thus increasing the labor and recalling the effort of riding up hill. My experience of the results of this treatment is unfor- tunately limited to only one person. In this case it has proved eminently suc- cessful. This person took to bicycle rid ing three years ago for pleasure and in very great moderation for the first two years. He observed that the attacks of asthma to which he was subject became fewer. The tightness and wheezing which occurred every night have now entirely disappeared y

a Friend of Colonel CaI1iper.
 "I knew man once, said Colonel Calliper, ia young man who had ev- erything that heart could wish for who notwithstanding that fact was a pretty sane and sensible sort of young man, but who nevertheless did at times in his younger days before he had learn ed the philosophy of life occasionally have periods of depression. h one of these on his way home once from Eu- rope he came to the conclusion that life wasn't worth living, and he made up his mind to end it all right there by jumping overboard As he looked over the rail and realized how wet the wa ter was and how much there was of it be knew that he ought not to go out in it without macintosh.
 "Going below, he discovered that he had neglected to bring one. On this oc- casion of all others when he wanted one most he had none. But he couldn't think of encountering the wet inappro- priately clad, and so he deferred jump ing overheard until he could do so in proper form. Next morning, with the resilienoy of youth, he was feeling bet ter, and he arrived in New York buoy ant, hopeful and strong.
 And, ouriously enough, while in other respects he remained as punctil- ious as ever about his dress, he never after that wore mackintosh, and he went ont in all sorts of weather with out hesitation. It was his carelessness in this regard that led finally to his death Out without macintosh in a heavy rain at the age of 97, he caught 8 cold that settled on his lungs, develop ed into pneumonia and carried him off, and so it may be said of my friend that he owed his long life and his death to the same cause.
