FOREST CULTIVATION.

An exceedingly interesting and attractive un-
dertaking is proposed in the bill which Mr.
Stewart. of Ithaca. introduced in the Senate on
Wednesday. 1t provides for a practical expert
ment in forestry on suitable scale, under the
direction of Cornell University, and its primary
purpose is TO show the people OF NewYOrk how
their forest domain ought TO be treated. The
section of the Constitution adopted in 1884
which relates to the forests is as follows: THE
Glands of the State now owned or hereafter
acquired. constituting the forest preserve as
"now fixed by law. shall be forever kept rs wild
forest lands. They shall rot be leased. sold
"or exchanged or be taken by any corporation,
public or private, nor shall the timber thereon
"be sold. removed or destroyed" 1t IS fair to
assume that Mr.. Stewards hill. OF which Gov
ernor Black is known to be the sponsor. does
not conflict with the letter as ii certainly does
not with the spirit Of this section. The constl-
tutional prohibition. as every one who followed
the proceedings Of the convention knows does
not SIGNIFY that the delegates who were most
active III securing It's adoption 10y Unanimous
vote supposed That the total neglect of forests
was true forestry. They clearly recognized th..
fact that the prohibition was not scientific and
that 1t ought not TO he the permanent policy OF
'hc Stdf. bui 'ney bhu become convinced that
It's enforcement for period Of years was neces-
sary TO stop the ruin which bad forest manage.
ment and lax public sentiment were permitting:
their expectation being that knowledge would
increase ana ultimately lead to the establish
ment OF a scientific system such ms foreign ma
tons have made highly profitable
Governor Blacks proposal is. therefore. a di-
rect contribution to the object which the con-
vention had in view. His bill provides that the
State shall acquire a forest tract OF 5000 acres

Once upon a time. as tho story-tellers say
there was n country that was well wooded
Forests clothed the mountain slopes; the trees
knee-deep in moss and mould. which served as
n perpetual reservoir Of moisture and reglI-
lated the flow Of the brooks and rivers. so that
in spring the foods were not excessive and in
midsummer drouth there was no lack of water
But the people Of that country. being more
thrifty than far-seeing. cut down the forests
and made the land bare. and the moss and
mould were dried up and burned and the rocks
of The mountain slopes left naked. Then in
spring the streams overspread the land with
disastrous floods and in midsummer their beds
became dry. and ruin came upon the country.
And after a long time the people realized their
mistake. and began to replant the forests. hop
ins thus to undo the evil they had done; in
which they may succeed. couple Of centuries

WAR TALK AND PEACE FOOTING.

ON the whole. the demeanor Of the country
has been creditable during the last few days

ANOTHER ARCTIC VENTURE.

The present year Is to be marked by the de-
parturc Of two expeditions under the American
flag having as their objective point the Arctic
Pole. The admirably devised plans Of Lieuten-
ant Peary. most auspiciously promoted by the
gift OF the British ship Wlndward. have already
been explained in these columns That expedi-
ZION is 10 set forth in July. proceed by the way
of the western coast Of Greenland the route
which has been pursued more than any other
and make the climactcric dash for the Pole
from the northern apex Of that iceclad island
.-one Of the most northerly points ever reached
before the last monumental venture OF Frldtiof
hansen. At almost exactly the same time an
other expedition will set out under the lead Of
Mr. Walter Wellman. who will be remembered
as having some four years ago gone up as far
as the Slst parallel by way Of Spitzbergen
Mr.. Wellman proposes this year 10 go from
Norway 10 Franz Josef Land. and thence make
Q direct dash for the Pole Oh or near the Goth
meridian east. He has secured good steamer
and will take with him party Of Norwegian
seal and walrus hunters. instead OF the Esau-
maus upon whom Lieutenant Peary relies The
main party will stop at Cape Flora the scene
Of Mr.. Jacksons labors. The forward party
