The Philippine Forests.

The forests of the Philippines are
thought to contain about 500 species,
more than 400 being now known.
There are 81 palms. % of the oak
family, including two oaks, and 8 conf
fers, with only one true pine, the last
named growing in dense forest above
a height of 4, 900 feet in the island of
Luzon. At least so species are valuable
One of the most important is the yang-
ylang tree, yielning much priced oil;
but others furnish cocoa-nuts, gutta-
percha, varnish, many die woods, and
some fine hard woods. A system of
forestry has existed 80 years. Between
100000 and 100000 acres of
government lands have been cared for
by about 65 foresters and 100 subor-
dinates, and regulations have been
made on the most scientific European
model. With usual Spanish laxity in
administ, alton, however, chief atten-
ton has been given to collecting licen-
ses and other revenues.

Will Raise More Beef.

Eastern Washington farmers, it is
said, are considering going into the
cattle business on wholesale scale.
Several owners of large ranches have
expressed determination to give up a
portion of their farms to the raising
OF blooded stock for market purposes.
John Wheatland, of Spokane, was in
the city yesterday, and in. speaking OF
this matter said:
"Within year or two Eastern
Washington will be the section of the
state that will will supply the local
markets with beef There are large
number OF farmers in our section who
have determined to go into the blooded
cattle business. Among these is John
McCoskey, one of the wealthiest farm
ers of COlfax. He has now gone to
Iowa, where it is his intention to buv
a large number of blooded cattle and
ship them to his ranch. From this
time forward he will give less attention
to growing grain and more 10 cattle.
John Henderson, of Spokane county,
will do the same thing, and, besides
these, there are several others.
"fhere is demand for good beef in
this state and there has been for a
long time. A greater portion of the
beef we have here now is shipped in
from Chicago and other great packing
house centers and THERE'S no reason
why we should not grow it at home
The class of stock it is the intention
to introduce is the best. It will all
be blooded and therefore there is q
prospect that in year or two Wash.
ington will have reputation for good
meats. 1t may be that we will not be
able to use all we grow at home, and
in that event other states in the North
west will profit by the Industry

ST. PAUL'S LIGHTNING RODS,
Inc treat London Cathedral II Now
Thoroughly Protected from
Storms.

"A total Encouragement of the sys-
tenn of lightning conductors on St.
PauPs cathedral. London. is now vir-
tually complete. 1t is interesting to
learn from the electrician under
whose superintendent the work has
been carried out that the old idea of
the erection of a lightning rod on the
highest point of a structure protect
ed an area all round it is quite IL
lusory. The safeguarded area was
supposed to be the space within a
circle whose radius was equal to the
height of the lightning rod. This
theory, we understand. is now dis
credited, says London paper, and
the cathedral has been protected by a
system of conductors. perpendicular
and horizontal, comprising over a
mile of cables, on which at various
prominent points are placed about so
"aigrettes ''-groups of solid copper
spikes radiating upward and effectual-
ly connected at the base with cables.
The old system of joint-making by
junction pieces" or splicing and sol
dering, has also been abandoned. it
having been found that if surfaces
were merely screwed together they
were apt to oxidize and set up resist
ance, and if they were soldered the
soldering sooner or later would be
very likely to become loosened and
,, detached by the natural expansion
and contraction of the metals.
A new method of running to earth
has also been adopted. The usual
plan is to connect the conductors
with plates of copper imbedded deep
down in the moist earth. and these
plates, to be effective, must be of con-
siderable size. It is often difficult to
get them down low enough At st.
PauPs cathedral they have made earth
connection by means of iron pipes
! perforated at the bottom and driven
into the. ground by Special tackle.
thus affording passage down which
the conductor is passed to the neces-
sary depth and by means of which, if
necessary, the earth. below may be
| watered. The whole work has been
carried out by the cathedral sur
veyor's staff under the personal SUI
| perintendence of the electrician.

Death Of Queen Victoria.

Queen Victoria is dead. She passed
peacefully away at 6 80 Tuesday eve
ming at Osborne house, surrounded by
nearly all of her children and grand
children. Among the latter was En-
peror William, who was one of the
first to respond to the call to her bed
side.
Victoria was born May "a, 1919, and
began her reign as queen on the Goth
of June, 1887. Her age at her death
and the length of her reign exceeded
that of any sovereign in the history of
England.
Prince Albert now becomes the
reigning sovereign, as King Edward
VII. What effect the change of
rulers will have on the affairs of nations
and of the world, none can tell. Let
it be hoped that any change which
may come will be on the side of peace,
as opposed to war, which would accord
with the feelings and influence always
shown by the noble queen.
Queen Victoria was without doubt
the grandcst woman the world has
ever known. History will know her
best as pure and noble wife, mother
and queen. She belonged not to
England alone, but to the whole world
and for her the world to day deeply
