forestry purposes, or granted to the state
by the United States government or by
individuals for such purposes, and Great
ing a state forestry board to have the
care and management of the forest re-
serves and to represent the state in all
matters pertaining to forestry.
The constitution of the board has evil
IDENTIFY been arranged with a view to
making it non-poltical and as efficient as
possible. 1t consists of nine members,
including the chief fire warden, ex of1ic:o,
the professor of horticulture in the
State University, three persons recon-
mended by the regents of the university
on account Of qualifications that are
specified, and four to be recommended by
the following bodies namely: The Min
nesota State Forestry association, the
Minnesota State Agricultural society, the
Minnesota Horticultural. society and the
State Fish and Game commission.
In creating such a board, authorized to
accept LANDS for forestry purposes and to
conduct forestry operations in the name
of the state, including the sale Of forest
products, Minnesota has fully recognized
forestry-not Unly from the protective,
but also from the commercial point of
view-as proper function of the state.
It is safe to say that this advanced posi-
ton has the practically unanimous APP
prevail of the me min this country, few in
number, to be sure, who are entitled to
rank as forestry experts, and of other
thoughtful students of the problems con-
nected with this subject.

A couple of hours later the missionary
sitting once more in the. doorway of his
'dobe, heard a clatter Of hoofs as the out
ut swept into the village with four pris-
oners. He wondered if they would take
the outlaws to IIillsboro that night, but

shouts. A moment later he saw a greaser

wall, While the cowboys stood with their

Feuer Steel Pens Used

During the past year, said a Nassau
the number Of steel pens we sold in 1890.
And I would not be surprised to see the
sales of pens fall off till only a few
stationers in town carried large stocks of
them. This, I think, is due to the ad-
vent OF the typewriting machine.
In almost every business house in the
city typeWriters are in use ard in some
houses they have a system 1of keeping
books with typewriting machines In the
county registers office all the records
were for years kept with pen and ink,
but now the copyists employed there are
compelled to work typewriting machines
Deeds are copied into the record books
with the aid of the typewriter and the
copyist Of today has not the political
sinecure he had few years ago when
any school boy was competent to be
copyist in the registers office. Hundreds
of boxes OF steel pens were in use there
in those days. but now they use only
about percent Of the quantity formerly
required.

next few years several pen manufactur-
zcTS cSdNS4su UuS1AiSSS.l GtW people KNOW
what a heap Of bother and expense it is
to make a pen. For instance the steel
is first rolled into big sheets and then
cut into strips about three inches wide.
These strips are annealed. In other words
sney are sortly heated to red neat and
permitted to cool very gradually, SO that
the br:ttleness is all removed and the
steel is soft enough to be easily worked
Then the strips are again rolled to the
required thickness, or rather thinness, for
as you know the average steel pen Is not
thicker thansa piece of letter paper.
The blank pen is next cut out OF the
fiat strip and the name OF the maker
stamped upon il. Then comes the mold
ing process. The pen is put in mold
which gives it grace and strength. The
rounding enables the pen to hold the re-
quisite Ink and tos distribute the INK
gradually. That little hole which is cut
near the. end of the slit also helps to-
make the ink run properly and regulates
the stscity Of the pen. Up to this time.

Climate ana Disen.e.

People are coming to learn, though
slowly, that change Of climate as a. re-
medal agent for was ting disease esp
cially of tuberculosis in any Of its various
types, must, to be effective, be perma-
nent. Judging from the pale, peregr.nat-
ing host that throngs the health resorts
of the country, and OF the wide world.
without having derived any benefit from
change Of air, wearily signing for home
and its quiet and peace, the lesson has
not yet been learned that after a certain
stage In such diseases is past the change
SO desperately sought is vaiueIess for
remedial purposes, and often hastens
rather than retards the end. In evidence
of the fact first mentioned, 1t is noted
that Secretary Longs daughters, who
went to Coloraio Springs year ago for
their health, will not return for the harsh,
humid winds Of the Atlantic seaboard to
undo the beneficial effects of the dry. in

afhicts the human race hovers. 1t is not

Persons who intend to compete must
be proposed in writing by qualified per-
sons, and no attention will be paid to
requests addressed by intending COM
petitors themselves. According to a
statement in the New York Herald each
proposal must be written in English,
German, French, Latin or in one of the
Scandinavian Languages, and it must
be accompanied by documents showing
that the person referred to in it is en-
titled to compete.
The prizes which will be distributed
in 1901 will amount to 100000, or $780, 400
for each division. The various acade-
mics will make known their decisions
publicly on the occasion of the solemn
reunion, which will take place on Dec.
10, 1901, this being the anniversary of
DIR. Nobers death. and from their de-
cisions there will be no appeal.
At the same time they will present
to each successful competitor check
for the value of the prize, a diploma
and gold medal bearing the effigy OF
the donor, with an appropriate legend.
Each prize winner is obliged, unless
prevented by unforeseen circumstances,
to give during the next six months q
lecture on the subject Of the work which
won the prize. This lecture will be
given in Christiania by the winner of
the peace prize, and the other lectures
will be given in Stockholm.

The czar OF Russia has also been put
forward as the only logical claimant,
on the ground that the recent confer
ence at The Hague was called by him,
and that it has done more toward fur
therfng the cause of peace than any
thing else In modern times. At least
one painter of battle scenes has also
come forward as a claimant, his argu-
ment being that by depicting the hor-
rors of war he has really done yeoman's

MINNEsOTA,s FORESTRY.

It Is Complimented by a Michigan
Professor.
u The December number of Science con-
tains an article on Progress in Forestry
Under State Control by DIR. Volney M
Spalding, for twenty-five years professor
OF Botany in the University Of Michigan,
in which he says that by Minnesota's S. fire
warden system "a great step has been
taken, and by so much Minnesota is well
In advance of Michigan and Wisconsin, ?
He states:
Minnesota has made very substantial
progress in forestry legislation, especially
IN the direction Of controlling forest fires.
"a most confnendable feature of the law
which has been in operation for five
years, Is the definite fixing on response
bility by the appointment Of chief fire
warden who has general charge Of the fire
warden force Of the state, and who is
authorized during the dangerous season
to use such means as he sees fit to pre-
vent or suppress fires the sum OF S., COO be-
ing available for this purpose. Supervisors
of towns, mayors Of cities and presidents
Of village councils are constituted fire
wardens, with authority TO arrest with
out warrant any person setting fire to
woods or prairies to the danger Of prop
sertY, the wardens Themselves being liable
to penalties for neglecting the duties Of
their Office. Under the vigorous admin
istration Of the present chief fire warden,
much has been done TO promote the
growth Of a correct public sentiment and
not a little has been accomplished in the
actual prevention and suppression OF
nres. Warning notices IN great number
have been posted and the intelligent CO.
operation OF a large force of assistant
Wardens has been secured. During the
drought in the early summer of the pres
1ent year, over 800 FIRE wardens were in
correspondence with their chief, report
ing PRECAUTIONS taken, and otherwise
showing their interest and activity The
system is doubtless capable OF improve
msnt, but in Its inception and reasonably
successful working great step has been
taken, and by SO much Minnesota IS well
IN advance Of Michigan and Wisconsin
Z BY the legislature Of 1889 an act was
passed esignating as forest reserves
lands set apart by the legislature for
