expected for schools in Grant for

The German ambassador has submit
ted the following note to the general
and office. and also to the American
Forestry association:
There Is going to be an international
congress for geography In Berlin some
time during the summer OF 1899. n
II would seem opportune to have an
international commission meet a; that
time in connection with h congress
to consider the following questions:
How much wooded land In there In ev-
cry country? Who are the owners of
these wooded lands? What are the
principal trees? What are they used
for? How much lumber or products
Of the forest are exported and to what
points? What are the value OF their
products? The German Reichs-Forst-
verein a aiken up these questions
and would be very glad to receive APP
proving resolutions from scientific bod
les In the United States and help in
preparing the difficult problems for al
international congress-"
b. F. Ferrow n other prominent
members of the Forestry association,
who live In Washington. say that the
association will be representa- at the
congress in Berlin. The government
will also probably send representatives
but they have not yet been selected.
The forestry experts here say that the
most important question that can pos
sibly be considered at the German on
vention Is the destruction of forests by
fires. due to h recklessness of hunt
ers and others. They regard the yell
lowstone park and California as Offer

as protection from rain. With them II
was a blanket with a silt in the middle.

the ponchos furnished the rank and file
were not up TO specifications. and pri-
Yates frequently declared that there
was not enough rubber In one OF them
to make a band. Those furnished the
