Why Protect Against Forest Fires?
From The Minnesota State Forestry
Association.
So many in opposition to the move
ment for fire protection have claimed
general forest fires to be benefit by
the work they save in preparing the
land for settlement that it seems de-
sirable this question should be looked
into and useless strife about it avoided.
The extensive fires of 1894 have fur
nished ample burned areas. What
is the condition of this land now?
Along the st. Paul and Duluth and
the Eastern Minnesota Railways are
such lands. From the cars they seem
almost like prairie stretching away
for miles. There seems to be much
grass as if cattle could fatten there,
and the land seems almost ready for
the pillow. A days travel on foot,
however, and without trail through
this region is different matter, and
gives a very different impression.
One not accustomed to it is surprised
to find it sometimes takes four hours
to go one mile and then only by
climbing over and under fallen trees
and laundering through deep miry
holes burned out by the fires where
ever there was peat or black muck.
The grass seen from the car window
proves to be principally sedge or saw
grass with very little food value.
Even the Blue Joint considered of
value for hay and for grazing is usu
ally inaccessible to cattle because Of
the burned down trees and the mire
holes. Much of the vegetation that
at distance looks like grass proves
to be only weeds, and on the upland,
though three years have now passed
since the fire, great proportion OF
the surface has no vegetation.
By far the greater portion of the
burned areas are unused fully 80 per
cent? and is not producing anything
of value. In contrast with these
burned areas the few tracts logged
over and unburned have stock of
growing trees that are constantly |
storing up material valuable for flu
ture use, while the burned land is not
anything. The only favor
able feature of the burned land for
agriculture is that it is sometimes
more easily cleared and here its ad-
vantages cease. With soil burned off
there is less object in clearing, and
the many millions of acres of burned
forest land remaining uncleared and
in the state stand as
of folly and waste simply
and silently proving to every sincere
and thorough observer who will study
them that all the land should be kept
growing timber until it is needed for
some more profitable use.

Mr.. Isaac HOrner, proprietor of the
Burton House, Burton, w. ", and
one of the most widely known men in
the state was cured of rheumatism
after three years of suffering. He
says: Il have not sufficient command
of language to convey any idea of
what I suffered, my physicians told
me that nothing could be done for
me and my friends were fully CON
vinced that nothing but death could
relieve me of my suffering. In June,
1894, Mr.. Evens, then salesman for
the Wheeling Drug Co., recommended
Chamberlain's Pain Balm. At this
time my foot and limb were swollen
to more than double their normal
size and it seemed to me my leg
would burst, but soon after l began
using the Pain Balm the swelling be-
gan to decrease, the pain to leave,
and now I consider that I am entirely
cured" For sale by J. r. Kruger.

What "Morro'' Means.

The fact that there is Moro Cas-
tie at Havana and one at San Juan,
Porto Rico, has naturally excited
some inquiry. The word is the Span
ish term for promontory. 1t is some
times spelled Moro" but this is in
correct, the error arising from the
long prevalent idea that the word
was intended TO mean "The Moor" as
applied to these Spanish forts. The
name of the ratification at Havana
is CASTILLO del Moro, the castle of
the promontory. It isan ancient and
famous citadel, having dungeons be-
meath it where political prisoners
have been confned.-Baltimore Sun.

The Original Declaration of Indepen=
denCe.


The original Declaration of hide
pendence is in so dilapidated condi-
ton that nowadays it is rarel y if ever
exposed to public view. The Ladies'
Home Journal was recently granted
special permission by the Secretary
of State to make a single exposure Of
the document to the camera, and will
reproduce the photograph, which is a
remarkably clear one, in the July is
sue of that magazine, Exposure to
light and the process of making a
duplicate copy of the Declaration have
faded the ink in the historic docu-
ment, but it is still legible. Some of
the signatures are nearly faded out.
John Hancock, however, seems to
have used an imperishable ink, for
his name stands black and bold on
the parchment, which is now kept in
steel safe, out of the sunlight and
out of the public's view.

most gratifying success has attended the
use of forced draft, without any Chin
neys whatever out of the ordinary, ap-
pear in contemporary journals The ex-
pertinent Of forced draft gives promise
of great economy in fuel, as we'll as
doing away with the expensive and I'M
ornamental chimney. The draft arrange
ment consists of large fan, which is
connected with by double cylinder
engine. The fan has wheel 54 inches
In diameter and runs at almost any rate
of speed desired. The draft is something
prodigious and makes it possible to en-
ploy fuel of a lower grade than any
heretofore used. Instead of the best
Cumberland coal, a mixture Of Cumber-
land and screenings has been tried. The
cost of operating the fan, even with i'm
perfect apparatus, is something like
$500 per annum. The smOkestack is
scarcely taller than the roof of the
building and Of less capacity than that
heretofore used for such purposes. New

One of the most interesting relics in
the National museum at Washington is
the camp chest used by Washington
throughout the Revolution. 1t Isl COM
pact affair about the size Of tourist S
wicker chest for cooking Of the present
day, 2 y feet long, 2 feet wide, 1 foot
high, and it contains an outfit consist
ing Of tinder box, pepper and salt
boxes, bottles, knives, forks, gridiron
and plates. Every bit of the outfit save
one bottle, which is broken at the
shoulder, looks strong enough to stand
another campaign.
Near by are the tents used by Wash
ington-three in number. One is a
sleeping tent, % feet long, with walls
feet high and roof with a foot
pitch. 1t is made Of linen. The other
two are marquee tents of smaller size,
one with walls, the other a shelter tent
open on the sides. That the tenting ma
terial of Revolutionary days was good
stuff is proved by the excellent condi-
tiOn of these tents, which sheltered the
great commander through all his severe
campaigns.
Here also is Washington's uniform,
worn by him when he gave up his COM
mission as commander in chief of the
army, at Annapolis in 1888. 1t consists
Of a big shadbelly coat of blue broad
cloth, lined and trimmed with soft
buckskin snd Ornamented with broad,
fat brass buttons; buckskin waistcOat
and breeches. The size Of the garments
(Which are in state Of excellent pres
ervation) testify to the big stature Of
the Father of His Country and sug-
gest that he had an eye to a fine ap-
pearance in his dress. Washington

DOORS OF VENEER.
Few Doors, Not Even the More Cost
IL. Made OF Solid Wocd.


IL, Made OF Solid Wood.
The very finest OF doors are made
nowadays Of veneer on a body Of pine.
Even when made of mahogany or some
other costly wood doors have to Re v
neered. The body of the door is made
of plain, straight grained mahogany,
while the surfaces are veneers of fine
wood.
In the finest doors the body is made
of selected white pine, free from sap
and perfectly seasoned, which is cut in
to narrow strips and then glued to-
gether. The outer edges Of this door are
faced with what is called veneer, but
which is really a strip of the fine wood
half an inch or more in thickness. The
inner edges Of the frame, by the panels,
are covered in the same manner with
thick strips, in which the ornamental
holdings or carvings are made and
which are grooved to receive the panels.
This built up frame of white pine,
with edges of the fine wood, is then
veneered with the fine wood. In some
lighter doors the panels may be of solid
mahogany, but in the finer, larger and
heavier doors the panels also are made
of sheets of white pine with veneering
of the fine wood, so that the entire door
is veneered.
1t would be difficult, if not impossi-
BILE, to procure at any cost mahogany
lumber in fine and beautiful woods of
sufficient size for the larger doors. The
built up and veneered door of pine
wood, however, has every appearance
of solid door, and, made of selected
veneers, it may be more beautiful than
a solid door would be. 1t is more serv-
iceable and remains longer perfect. Its
cost is about half what a solid door
would cost.-New York Sun.

THE SLY POLAR BEAR.
How He Gets His Dinner of Seal or
Walrus Meat.


WaIrus Meat.
In his native home the polar bear
does not often meet with small bows
anxious TO treat him TO buns and other
dainties. The consequence is that bruin
has to devise many curious ways of Sc
curing his food, and none is more
strange and interesting than that relat-
ed by two trustworthy travellers in
Greenland, that country of strange
sights.
They have known the polar bear to
take stone or huge lump of ice in
his fore paws and from a favorable
height, as a cliff or a precipitous ice
hill, to hurl the missile down upon the
head of a walrus, an enormous brute
often twice the size of the bear, and so
stun him that bruin could rush in and
complete the destruction at his leisure,
thus securing a months rations.
The most usual food of the ice bear,
as the Germans very appropriately call
this beast, is the common seal of the
arctic regions. The latter is the wari-
est animal of the north, and both Eski-
mo and polar bear need their best STRAIT
egy to catch it.
In the summer time, when the snow
is off the ice of the ocean shore and
islets, the seals can be plainly seen as
black dots on the ice, probably asleep,
but always near their holes, which lead
down through the thick ice to the water
below, and into which they can throw
themselves by the least movement.
Bruin, seeing one afar, walks up as
near as he deems safe and then begins
crawling on his wary prey.
The seal, if the weather be sunny
and pleasant, takes short maps, relieved
by shorter moments when it is scanning
the vicinity for signs of an enemy's ap-
prOach. During these times the bear is
very quiet and as still as death itself,
with eyes apparently closed. though
really corner of each is kept open, and
in this way he hopes the seal will take
him for a heap of snow, an appearance
which his coat readily helps him to as
sumo.
During the maps he creeps forward
with greater or less rapidity, according
to his nearness to the seal and conse-
quent fear of being heard or seen.
When but 10 or II yards away, and the
seal is In the depths of good nap, the
bear rUshes upon him and with a single
blow of his powerful paw knocks the
smaller brute senseless and so far away
from the hole that he cannot escape by
that way, even if the blow received is
not Immediately fatal.
In winter time the ice is covered with
snow, and this is followed out by the
seal into a snOwhOuse, covering the hole
In the ice and connecting at the top of
the dome with an aperture about the
size Of a shilling, called the blowhole,
for it is through this that the seal
breathes when he is in want of fresh air.
Here the bear watches for many a
long hour if necessary, and when the
snOrts of the seal are heard he crushes
in the fragile dome of the snowhouse
with his paw, impaling the seal on his
curved claws, and proceeds to practi-
Cally demonstrate how polar bears can
subsist in d arctic winter.-LondOn
