WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.--Offcials here
are at loss TO understand the reasons
for the important modification in the
Joint Chinese note which II is reported
the British minister TO Picking Is to de-
mand before signing that document pre-
paratory to Its presentation to the chi
nese plenipotentiaries. They have no
information on the subject as nothina
has been heard from Nj Conger on the
matter FOR some days The understand
ing here has been that the joint note as
agreed upon by the ENJOYS. was in the
main satisfactory TO the British govern
ment That government simply desired
q slight amendment said TO be In the
nature of a mere change In style OF lam
guage 60 he used. rather than amy am nd
nent to the scope 81 the agreement This
did not conflict with any OF the princi-
pics held out for By our government. and
such being the case Il was confidently
expected the signature Of the British
minister would be affixed to the agree
ment promptly and the note handed TO
the Chinese at an early date.

COURSE IN FORESTRY "

Cornell University has a new
course known as a Course in For

United States that's giving scien-
ufc attention to a matter that so
deeply concerns the welfare of the
neoll. Oar forests are rapidly
dlslrpearin AMI the effect of this
wholesale destruction of trees can
not lal to be harmful in more ways
than oae. Aside from the immedi-
ate commercial effect of the lessen
iuE of timber production is the no
lie S important result of the change
in climatic conditions produced by a
mall forest area. Cornell has
thirty thousand acres in the Adj
roniack Mountains secured as a
forest preserve. Over one million
small trees of different varieties
have been planted on this land. The
study of their growth will give stu
dents a practicable knowledge Of
! the trees best fitted to varied con
ditions of soil exposure, moisture
and the like. There alittlegeueral
