DESTROYING TREES.
Folly of Forest Destruction 81
ing Belief.

Folly of Forest Destruction Slowly Gain
ing Belief.
Folly of forest destruction is fact
slowly gaining belief. The tree-felling
ak has turned some 100000 once fer
tile miles into deserts and has made
one-third of the eastern continent an
unfit abode for the human race. Dis
appearance OF arboreal vegetation is
the main cause of many sad changes
on our planet, according to Health
Culture. Spain in the glory OF her an
cient woodlands was the Eden of south
Europe, treeless Spain is wilderness.
When Sicily had forests it also had
poets, philosophers. heroes and mer-
chant princes: without her trees ban
dts and beggars are the chief prod
ucts. The same story could be told Of
southern France, Portugal, Asia Min
or, Persia and Hindustan. Forests OF
shady trees mitigate climatic condi-
tions and there is no doubt they attract
rain showers. Leaves generate oxygen
and absorb noxious gases. forming a
natural antidote to grievances Of
crowded cities. Shade trees prevent
sunstroke and they also prevent
ophthalmia, the curse of lower Egypt
and Southern Italy. Where there are
no trees the glare of the sun on the
sand and white buildings Is equal to its
shining on snow. Malaria in many OF
its forms is a result Of forest destruc-
ton. The clearing OF the woods that
once protected the slopes of the south
ern Alps has avenged itself upon the
valleys of the north Italian rivers.
Millions Of cubic feet of mud are car
rted down hill, swamping the fields
and forming pestilential marshes at
the mouths OF streams once healthful
Then fevers ripen every summer and
coast dwellers are short-lived.

Growth of E.. tern Cities.

We continue to get surprises In the
figures Of the new census, and the most
astonishing of them all is the showing
of Omaha, Neb., whose population is
shown to have actually diminished no
less than 26 per cent during the past
ten years. There seems to be no
doubt that our eastern cities have been
growing faster than those of the west
during the last decennial period.

HE FELL At KIMBERLEY.
Widow of George lie Bran to Receive
$4,000 from Britain.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-The British
government has made an allowance of
$4,000 TO Mrs. George f. La Bran. of Au-
rora, Ill.,, because of the death of her
husband. who was killed by Boer shell
at Kimberley on Feb. 0, 1900. La Bran
WAS an engineer in the employ Of the De
Beers Consolidated Mining Company and
during the siege of Kimberley took gal
liant part in the defense Of the city. His
most notable contribution to the success of
the defense was piece of heavy artillery,
invented by himself and built under his
direction. He also designed and manufac-
tured the shells for the gun. which was
the only one in the town Of sufficient
strength to reach the Boer trenches. This
gun alone had much to do with keeping the
Beers out of Kimberley.
In announcing the allowance of $4,000 to
Mrs. La Bran the British war officials
say: Her Majesty's government gladly
takes this opportunity of placing on record
their sense of the valuable services rem
dered by Mrs. La Brams late husband dur
ing the siege of Kimberley and of express
ing their regret at the loss she has sus-
tanned in his DEATH"
Lieutenant Colonel Kekewich, who COM
manded the British forces during the siege
of Kimberley, in writing to Mrs. La Bran,
under date of Feb. ~ said: Not only KIM
berley, but the whole British nation is to-
day indebted to your valuable husband for
the assistance he afforded to the defenders
of Kimberley during n siege extending
nearly four months. Your late husband
placed unreservedly at my disposal his
great genius, and l cannot sufficiently ex-
completed which have much assisted me to

Charles E. Kohl, one of the proprietors Of
the Chicago Opera House. and Manager
Lift, of Mcvicker's Theater, who were ar
rested some time ago for keeping their

long as Sunday theaters did not actually
disturb the peace and good order OF So
ciety by creating a physical disturbance.
there was no violation of the law in giving
a Sunday performance. The arrests grew
out of the recent agitation against base
ment dives in the downtown district one
of the alleged dive keepers affected swear
ing out the warrants against the proprie-
tors Of the theaters.
