Rev. Father M. Crosse, the superior
of the institution, was their victim.
They pretended as trustees of a rich

5000, 600 belonging to the boy, which
they desired to leave for safe keeping

night the safe in J. d. Chadwick S

The recent report of the department
of agriculture, calling attention to the
rapid destruction of the groves Of
great trees which have been one of the
glories of California. points to the
need of checking the activities of the
relentless woodman and his ak. In
spite of legislation. little enough has
been done for the preservation of
American forests, and in the case Of
the big trees of California there is
absolutely nothing to prevent the
thrifty wood cutter from enriching
himself by the telling of trees which
in their age and magnificence are not
equalled anywhere in the world. That
a tree should grow for many cen,
turtles, living evidence of the great
ness of the vital forces In nature.

The most remarkable feature Of the
western states, through the corn belt,
in winter, has been the intermlnable
stretch of unused stalks, standing in
the snow, and liable in the spring to
be in the way Of the plow. These
stalks do not easily rot, and there
fore remain in the way Of future
efforts of the agriculturist. They are
more than a dead waste, they are
hindrance. Millions of tons Of this
material have been burned, or other
wise lost to human welfare. The
great. agricultural discovery Of the
closing years of the century is the
fact that all this material can be util-
ICED, every ounce of it. The shredding
machines slit it into fine fodder, which
the farmers report is not only well
relished by cattle. but is as good as
clover hay for horses and costly
mixed feeds for cattle. 1t is not only
fed from the fields, but is preserved in
silos, and fed the whole year around.
It is as good a food for sheep as for
cattle, and lowers the cost of fatten-
ing these animals nearly one half

Professor Starr of the Chicago uni
versity says that people living on the
American continent will in the course
Of ages be SO wrought upon by ell
matte and geographic influences that
they will revert to the aboriginal type
and become Indians. This Is a pretty
theory; but it probably does not take
into account the fact that people Of
this era are not compelled to eat ex-
clusively what they raise on their own
soil, and that their associations are
not cIrcumscribed by crude facilities for
travel. Railways and steamboats, are
now bringing the various nationali-
ties into such close relatio aahip that
the probability of univs4-sl and
highly developed type seems stronger
than that Of retrogression in separate
localities.
