-IooUN FROM MEXICO.
Destruction of the Forests Has Brought
 Drought and Desolation.

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 date when they will be compelled to face 8 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 a 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 reeog nize the indirect value of forests to agri- culture and that no high degree of civ ilization can exist permanently wit r. out some systematic and adequate forest management. In India the destructi ,n of the forests commenced 1000 years ago, and that country, having at last seen the folly of such waste, is now en- gagged in tho expensive undertaking of reforesting large areas.
 The effect upon rainfall and the pro- ductiveness of the cultivated tracts has already been acknowledged by inyesti- 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 i'll 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 Anahuac.
 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 9 few years until they have taken good root By using good judg- ment ill selecting the trees and in plant ing ill few years the complaints which are now so frequent of years of droughts will soon become fewer and fewer until they finally cease.

The Present Which al Earthquake Made
 to Tennessee.
 Reelfoot lake, which lies mostly in Obion county and partly in Lake, is the largest sheet of water in Tennessee, it being 40 miles in 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 and 8 o'clock on Saturday morning, Nov. 16, 1911. There were 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 it's usual course, leaving to Tennessee one Of the finest fishing resorts in the country, which is annually the Mecca of thor sands of sportsmen. .-Cincinnati Com mercial Tribune

Once the students in one atelier hazed newcomer by taking all his money, putting him into a cab and giv- ing the driver instructions where to take him. When the cab halted, tbe penniless student alighted and stood cu the curb.

 A new student from Algiers amused the studio for awhile by initiating the sounds of vnrious wild beasts and birds. Then the fickle fellows tired of it.

city thoroughfares, but take it this is
due to the fact that more people cycle on
country highways than in the streets OF
large cities. 1 should say that the most
prolific cause of cycling accidents is the
slipping of the machine on greasy roads,
and it is a curious fact that in the ma
jority of cases injury is inflicted on the
left side, showing that in most cases the
riders fail to the left
Another cause is the tendency for mere
novices to ride brakeless bicycles. Nearly
all the fatalities on dangerous hills in the
holiday season have been due to this. l
notice that a well-known cyclist remarked
recently that in his opinion the safest
place in the world was in the saddle OF
bicycle.
From experience, I should entirely dis
agree with him, for, in my opinion, the
safest place in the world is in a railway
carriage. According to statistics there is
a far greater chance of accident on a BIZ
cycle than in a railway train. No pastirae

To Preserve Bird=Iife.

The WatertOWn branch of the Audu-
bon society is doing all in it's power
to discourage the destruction of use
full birds, and is desirous that all of
our people understand the statutes
touching on this matter. The pro-
visions covering the question are found
in section 80, chapter 1873, of the laws
of 1897, which reads as follows:
''It shall be unlawful, and is pro-
hibited to catch or kill, at any time,
or for any purpose whatever, except
as authorized in this act, any whip
poorwill, nighthawk, blue bird, finch,
thrush, lark, robin, turtle-dove, or
any other harmless bird. Any person
violating the provisions of this section
shall be punished by fine of not
more than fifty dollars, or by i'm
prisonment in the county jail for not
more than thirty days; provided that
this section shall not apply to black
birds, English sparrows, or pigeons
for trap-shooting."
Any person knowing of any violation
of this section may make a complaint
to any justice of the peace in the
county, and procure the arrest and
punishment of the guilty party.
