Evaporation of Trees

Some curious facts concerning trees
have been discovered. A single oak of
good size is said to lift 123 tons of wa
ter during the months it is in leaf. This
moisture is eyaporated and rises to form
rain clouds. From this estimate of the
labor of a single oak we can gain some
idea of the immense force which the
forests exert in equalizing the evapora-
ton and precipitation and pI evening
periods Of inundation and drought.

THE PRESIDENT ON TRIAL.
philadelphia Times.)


President Mckinley is now involved
in q very severe trial before the
tribunal of the nation. because of the
appalling developments in his new CO.
lonial policy. Cuba is as much a part
of our colonial policy as Porto Rico or
the Philippines. and what has beer done
in Cuba will be generally accepted by
the country as more than probable in
the more distant Spanish acquisitions.
The President cannot be excused on
the ground that he was imposed upon
in the appointment Of officials for Cuba
who seem to have run riot in debaunch-
cry and theft. That was the beginning
of his colonial policy, and when he
hardened to political leaders who
pressed political henchmcn upon him
for these most responsible positions. he
was simply forgetful of the highest
duty to himself and the country. No
man who was urged on political
grounds for any position in Cuba should
have been entertained for a moment,
and it Is solely because the President
did not thus perform his duty that we
have now a fioodtide of scandals to
shame the nation and enormous embez-

cremations have taken place in this
country, and % modern crematories,

tons have increased from q total of 16
for the United States in 1854 to 3I2 in
1890, LOTT in 1895 and 1.G99 in 1898; and
this Increase has been in the face of
sentiment, tradition and religious feel
ing. The chief agency by which this
gain was brought about was the work
of societies. carried forward under very
adverse conditions. These societies
have worked through the medium of
meetings. addresses. the publication of
a periodical and the diffusion of pamph-
let and treaties urging the hygenic
reasons for the destruction of the body
by fire.
A table of cremations in the United
states from 1876 to 1895 shows that the
crematory near Baltimore was estab
lished in 1889. There were ; crcmations
the year following, 5 in $780, u in 1891.
and there has been gradual increase

TWO MODEST REQUESTS.
(Jacksonville Times-Union.)

We are n modest and trustful people.
We not only have implicit faith in our
selves individually. but i'll the greatness
and goodness OF our fellows. Especial
ly touching is the faith we repose in the
open-hearted generosity and confiding
gullibility OF those upon whom the hand
OF fortune has poured out It's lavish
bounty.
For example, there is Il very rich man

THE TORY AND THE TOADY.

We are n nation of faddists. Some of
our fads are quite innocent and harm
less: some injure only those who pur-
sue them; some are Il public menace
and an evil, and some approach the
magnitude of n public disgrace. Few of
them have the qualities OF which
court OF law will take cogniZance and
in the main. we must depend for
CORE ct on upon that essential sanity of
the American which sees through
slams quickly. and upon that sense of
humor which does not spare whatever
appeals to it.
AT this present moment our beloved
country Is suffering from an acute re-
vival of that Torysm which shouted
for George the Third in 1916. and which
threatened the disruption of the Union
in 1912. 1t presents itself in IL some
what different aspect. but 1t is no whit
less detestable and contemplate now
than at the earlier dates Now, as then
II springs from a distrust of the masses
of the people. whom il judges not by
essentials. but by accidcntals. Now. as
then it sets up false standards and
bows down before pinchbcck ideals
fashioned by its own hands.
The new Toryism has a most motley
array of dcvotees. They are not con-

OUR TRADE WITH GERMANY.

In commenting some days since on a
table showing the increase of Ameri-
can exports TO Asia and Oceanica the
Virginian- Pilot pointed out that IL Was
by no means proof that trade follows
the flag" and suggested that 1t was
perhaps merely phase of the general
expansion of American commerce. Since
mat time there has been given out at
Washington statement OF our exports
TO Germany. which goes far to confirm
the surmise.
The statement of our trade with Asia
and Oceanica showed that for the Pc
Rod of nine months ending March S1st,
1898. the gross exports were valued at
is million dollars. and for q like period
of 1900 were valued at SO millions, in
round numbers. or a gain of "a mil
lion dollars. The statement of our
trade with Germany shows for a like
period of 1898 exports to the amount of
s11S,9sl,5o6. and for 1900 sl42, 7S1. $50, or
Il gain of "a million dollars. Our ex-
ports to Germany for the past nine
years have been as follows: 1895, S72,-
S94,65O; 1896. s7S,O51 ,114: 1897, sss,o021 1872;
1898. sllS,9sl, SOC; 1899. 23.2226l7, and
1909. sI42, 1871 s9.
When it is recalled that Germany is,
after England, the strongest CONNER
cial competitor of the United States,
and that the competition Is growing
stronger yearly. the fact that our ex-
ports to 1t have increased nearly as
fast as our exports to the whole of
Asia. is sufficient to show the shallow
sophistry of the trade folowing-the-
flag assertion. There is the further
very weighty fact that the Dingley
tariff has provoked Germany to retail
atory measures. with the result that
our exports of provisions. wheat, Oil
cake. lumber. bicycles. turpentlne, hides
and skins, furniture and sole leather
have shown falling off of over seven
million dollars. In short. had our COM
merce with Germany been allowed to
pursue a normal course. the probabil-
tiles are all that our exports to that
country would have increased more
rapidly than to Asia and Oceanica, for
all our acquisition OF gateway to the

The growing commerce of this coun-
try is matter of legitimate pride to
its citizens, but there is nothing more
certain than that it can not be in
creased by force of arms. American
products have made their way in Ger

will make their way elsewhere on the
same principle or not at all. For years
