Forestry Matters

The APPEAL has received a copy Of
the Primer Of Forestry, published by
Uncle Sam, and intended to instruct
his many children in the art OF pre-
serving the forests of America. The
book is a new venture, it being printed
in an attractive manner, with bright
green covers and in modern type. 1t
is illustrated in an excellent manner
with half tones and, unlike the usual
u blic document, can be carried in
ones pocket.
The book is all right and its purpose
the same, but, like many other public
records, it is more of an ornament
than practical use. The trouble with
the Forestry Commission is that it,
like other branches OF the Govern
ment work, is too slow to give much
practical relief. In this section OF Ne
yada there is an example hat will
never die u as long az a man lives.
1t is Lake Tahoe. TLis beautiful To-
calitv has been robbed Of It's beauty by
the lumber kings. Where mountains
| of forests existed there remain but
stumps to tell OF the devas cation.
This paper called for the Lake timber
to be declared reservation lane twenty
years ago, and now that the timber
has been destroyed the reservation is
granted, that is, a part Of the lake
shore is protected. Lucky Baldwin
has been eusSed and abused for years,
but he had sense enough to keep the
timber goughers out Of his forest and
az d consequeu the Tallac property i,
the finest about the Lake.
The next session OF the State Legis,
latere should enact one law, and that
is to forbid the cutting of second growth
timber. In many sections near thi!
city the hills are covered with secOHC
growth pine, and some owners OF The
land are cutting and selling timbe'

absolutely kills out the forest growth

A Novel Invention

Salfline is the name of a new COM
pound, which, when applied to leather,
renders it absolutely waterproof. Thc
little half pint cans containing this ar
ticle sell in San Francisco for % cents,
and a Spectator who has cOrnered the
supply OF the klondike is selling the
cans for 81 50. With five cents worth Of
this compound a man can have practical
ly a pair of rubber boots or shoes. 1t is
estimated that II application of the
mixture so permCates the leather that it
will keep cut the water for a year even
though the wearer works constantly in
water. The advertisement of the Com
pany appears on the editorial page.

Endors~d p the Pulpit

On last Wednesday evening Rev. Nc
Murtry, pastor of the Presbyterian
Church Of this city preached a sermon in
which he said:
"A great pleasure has been afforded ne
in the months I have been in Carson. |
think one comes to this State and more
especially to this city, with wrong i'm
pressions. About two years ago the
newspapers of America and the world
pointed the reader to the State of Nevada
to behold the corruption of the corrupt
and to Carson as the cesspOOl of political
rot. That day has had its effect in more
ways than one; certainly to the outside
world Nevada is still a place of prize
fights and would-be bull-fighters, but to
one who comes and lives in your midst
he finds q city of churches, homes and
schools. | do not advocate that we should
do evil that good may come, but I do ad-
nit that the Legislature of this State has
passed a law thai may we'll stand as a
precedent to the other States of the I'm
ion, namely: Put a license on evil so
high that none can afford to pay it,
| believe that should I remain in Car
son the rest of my life 1 should never he
diaturbed with pugi!istic 'fe-tivities.'
Certainly moi so long as the present law
remains on our statute books. 1t will
take a more corrupt legislature to repeal
that law than was the one that put it
there and as citizens we should do our
part to see that it does not happen"

the present time at the headquarters of
the army clothing establishment in Pm-
leo. and the statement that the depar-
ture of the troops has been delayed
owing to the difficulty in obtaining the
material is absurd. Some 1900 men and
women have been employed recently in
manufacturing the clothes. which are
packed and transported by fatigue par
ties OF soldiers 10 the various destina-
tions. A regards clothes, the wisdom OF
dccentralizing stores has been abundantly
proved during the progress of the present
scheme OF mobilization. Instead Of the
delay and confusion which used to ensue
when the uniforms were dispatched from
the London cen re TO a number Of points
far and near, we now have a well-organ-
lied system under which the goods are
sent to the various provincial centres,
there 10 be redistributed. And thus we
are assured that by the time the last re-
scryist presents himself, within the limit
fixed by the Queens proclamation,

forms for the campaign outfit, owing TO
tho increased comfort they will enjoy.

LONDON's WATER.
Comparisons to show the Volume OF
Its Daily Consumption.

tEalumOIe AmeflCdn-)
In 1894 the astounding total OF l92OW'OD
gallons a day was reached by the COM
btned water companies of London, says
Good Word This was supplied 10 the
hve and a half million inhabitants at
the rate OF. say, thirty-twO gallons a
head for all purposes. These figures rep
resent an enormous volume Of water
though small when compared with the
mighty river that flows into Old Rome.
We can only deal with the figures rough
ly; the supply fluctuates 10 q con-
siderable degree M different times IN the
year; it is. therefore, not possible 10 be
automatically accurate Allowing for
slight increase since the last return,
and taking in other sources, 10 which
/ shall refer little later, We may pretty
safely put the present London water
supply at about 200O00o00 gallons a day.
Let US try for moment TO realize what
these figures mean.
with 2O0.OO0.OC0 gallons Of water We
could fill a lake mile long, quarter OF
a mile wide, and five feet deep. The
water in 1t would weigh nearly million
tons. This lake would be emptied in a
single day To assuage the thirst Of Lon
don. Or. suppose we could freeze all
this water. we could build up a great
block OF ice a thousand feet long, thou
SAND teet wide, and thirty-tWO ieet hiSh.
II We allow for the expansion OF treez-
Ing. the block would. of course. be still
larger. Sixty-tve OF the largest IRON
clads IN the British navy could float in
the water we use every day in London.
When we come 70 compare our supply
with the mighty torrent Of Niagara we
belittle II. The water gees laundering
over the falls at the rate OF two million
tons minute, or four hundred and TWEEN
~ million gallons. our whole daily sun
ply would be whirled over long before the
second hand of a watch would have
travelled once around the dial And
could We divert the magnificent torrent
Tor only three hours We could suanlv
