The Deering Harvester Company OF
Chicago has applied to the division
OF forestry for a working plan for its
$4,000 acre-tract Of hardwood timber
in southeastern Missouri. This marks
what is probably the first attempt OF
an American manufacturing establish
ment to employ modern forest meth
DDS in raising hardwood timber for its
own use. The timber owned by the
company consists chiefly of oak, ash
and hickory, woods especially adapted
to the manufacture OF agricultural i'm.
plements. The owners intend to re-
move all the less valuable species, such
as cottonwood, gum, honey locust and
cypress, so as to give the others all
possible advantage for growth. A plan
will be made by which the merchant
able timber may be removed without
injury to the producing power OF the
forest. The division will send experts
to the tract to make the observations
necessary for such a plan.

Inventors In German factories have
hard time to profit by their brain
work, according to n report to the
state department by Consul General
Guenther at Frankfort. He cites the
case Of foreman who invented a SUBJ
stance used in finishing velvet Be
cause he impaired his invention to
persons outside OF the firm for which
he worked the foreman was tried and
convicted of revealing trade secret,
although this secret was his own. The
German court took the ground that it
was duty OF the foreman to make ex-
periments; that his inventions be-
longed to his employers and that he
had no right to expose them.

Some troublesome questions are
doubtless destined to find solution
through the courts. In case which
has just been brought to trial In In
diana, an association of master plumb
Prs in Indianapolis. in order to secure
a monopoly OF business, drew the lead
ing dealers into an agreement not to
sell plumbers supplies to any except
the members of their own combine"
An outside plumber brought stit
against a dealer who had refused to
sell him goods needed in his business.
The judge decided that such discrim-
ination in trade is against public pol
icy, and that the complainant was en-
titled to damages for the Inconvenience
and loss he had suffered.

There was no political purpose or
Importance in the visit OF Queen Vic
toria to Ireland. 1t was undertaken
by the aged sovereign simply to show
the Irish people how fully she appre-
ciates the loyalty and gallantry of her
Irish soldiers; but like many another
kindly deed. it may have more ex-
tended results. Mr.. Gladstone enact
ed a series OF reform measures based
upon justice but England and Ire
land remained estranged. The Union
ist government armed the Irish people
with complete control over local ad-
ministrations. yet the breach between
the two peoples was not healed. The
queens gentle policy OF gratitude and
womanly sympathy may fail. as Mr..
Gladstone's measures and Lord Sails
bury's concessions failed; but her
method appealed to the head, and
her motive is 30 sincere that It can
hardly be misunderstood. She may
succeed where statesmen were de-
featsd.

Most common is the remark: What
interesting people one meets in trav-
eling!" One may perhaps be pardon
ed for differing from this belief. The
interesting people one meets in trav
cling are extremely likely to keep to
themselves. They do not wear their
hearts upon their sleeves. Therefore.
II they are interesting. that trait is
kept for their friends. On the other
hand, the fools. bores and Doors OBJ
trude themselves upon you. The only
way to escape being bored to death
is to avoid their acquaintance. Then
If you yourself are interesting-and
of course you are-the fact remains
concealed. says writer in the Ar
