Timber waste.

1t is little short of ridiculous that mil
lions of feet of valuable timber should
be destroyed every year on the Pacific
coast through the carelessness Of hun
tiers and campers. The sheep herders
of the mountains used to burn over large
tracts for the purpose of making feed
for their Aocks in subsequent years, but
the practice has long ceased. AT all
events, somebody ought to make it his
business to devise a stringent and sys-
tcmatic scheme for preventing the waste
and destruction wrought by annually re-
curing forest fres.-Goldendale (Wah)

JEWELS FOR MERMAlDs.
Cold and Diamonds at the Bottom Of ths
Sea.

sea
On the ColrisA coast about five mines
from the Lizard. it Is quito common TO
picf up Spanish dollars which have been
washed ashore from the wreck Of a gal
leon that went down in 1884 with a
large amount of bullion on board.
It is surprising that with all the mod
ern appliances for diving systematic at
tempts are not more frequently made to
recover treasures from the deep.
AS early as 1898 a great deal OF treas
ure was recovered, including the his
torical golden cup which once belonged
to Frederick King Of Sicily, from The
wreck Of one Of the ships Of the In
vincible Armada"
In 1880 an American named William
Phipps came over from Virginia 10 this
country, and craved the assistance of
Charles H. toward recovering some
wrecked treasure on the coast Of His
PAMELA. Charles provided him with
ship and the necessary funds, but the
first attempt proved unsuccessful.
In a second effort he was financed by
the Duke of Albermarle, and this time
he succeeded in recovering specie to
the value of 100000, and after paying
all expenses he was able to give the duke
the sum of 10000 as his share in the
venture
The specie on board H. M. s. Lutine
wrecked in 1900, off the coast of Hol-
land, amounted to 100000, and the
whole of this still remains at the bottom
of the sea, with the exception of FOO
$50 recovered in the year 1850. At
tempts to recover the remainder are
still being made.
Diving operations reculted in the re-
tovery of 10000 in gold from the wreck
Of the Inflated Royal Charter, which
took place close to Moelfra, off the
Anglesea coast, but a vast number of
diamonds are still lying about the wreck.
Forty thousand pounds in specie was
recovered from the wreck Of the Ham
lila Mitchell in the Chinese Sea, after
lying in twenty-three fathoms of water
for upward of twenty years, and foo
900 in gold was saved from the wreck
of the Alphonso XII, which was sunk
in twenty-six and one-half fathoms of
water off the Canary Islands in 1885.
Some of the French ships sunk at
Trafalgar contained vast treasure. Five
tons of silver plate, excluding the ia
nous silver gates of St. Johns Cathed-
raj, Malta, and ton and half of gold
plate, mostly studded with jewels, the
plumber of the Maltese churches, were
on board one of these ships.
Not an ounce of this treasure has
been recovered.-L0ndon Mail.

DR.. Max Haushofer. Of the Munich
University, says that society may be
held responsible, though only to limit
ed extent, for certain conditions of life
created by it, into which it introduces
the individual and by which it offers oc-
casion to the degeneration Of human inn
pulses. Moral careiessness, supersti-
ton. vexatious family life, lack Of noble
incentives. material distress, immoderate
longing for enjoyment, wasting envy
these are conditions into which man is
brought not quite by his own faults and
which form the soil for emotions that
either in precipitous passion or by slow
secret and continuous urging create
criminal deeds.

MURDER CONSPIRACY


HELENA, Mont, Feb. 24.-Capt. Oliver
Dotson, whose body was found in his cabin
in Washington gulch, undoubtedly was
murdered. Sheriff Mcmahon, of Powell
county. and Deputy Sheriff Robinson. of
Deer Lodge county, who have been investi-
eating the case, are In the city to-day.
They say Dotson was murdered and that
the confession purporting to come from
him in which he was made TO declare his
son and grandson innocent Of the murder
of Eugene Cullinane was forgery. There
is every reason TO believe that the murder
was committed by an ex-convict, who. ii is
asserted, had conspired with Clinton Dot
son, Captain Dotsons son, now serving
ninety-nine years in the penitentiary. 10
kill the old man with the expectation of
securing the son and grandson a pardon
through the fraudulent confession. This
ex-convict and Captain Dotson were to-
gether in the smallpox hospital at Helena
until two weeks ago, when they were dis
charged. The former Ii is believed. went
to Dotson's cabin, arriving there before the
old man, whom he killed within few min
utes after his return. The officers had been
informed of the conspiracy. but did not
believe IL would be carried out.

In the list of American journalists who
have won literary fame by their work in a
daily newspaper the name of Eugene Field
stands conspicuous. He had done some
bright newspaper work before he came to
Chicago, but his real career as a newspaper
writer and author dates from 1888, when his
connection with the Chicago News, now
Record, first began to show in column
entitled Current Gossip" and afterwards
changed to ''Sharps and Flats" Under the
latter title Mr.. Field continued his con-
tributions to the paper until few days be-
fore his death in 1895, and probably no
newspaper writer ever had more admiring
readers or achieved a more unique and
distinctive literary fame than he did during
that period. He wrote prose and verse with
equal felicity, and his writings in both
forms covered an almost unlimited range
of topics. Sometimes the 'Sharps and
Flats" column would be filled with a single
story or sketch, but generally 1t contained
a number of short articles and paragraphs
or poems done in style peculiarly the au-
thors own. A collection of the best of
them has been made and published in two
pretty volumes. The compiler, Mr.. Slason
Thompson, seems to have exercised much
care In the selections, for he says the two
volumes do not contain more than the one
hundredth part of Mr.. Fields writings in
the ''Sharps and Flats column. The selec-
tions, many of which are in verse, possess
real and permanent literary value and are
well worth preserving in book form.
Throughout both volumes the authors wit
and humor are much in evidence as also
are his critical and artistic tastes. The
book is published by Charles Scribner's
Sons

To the uninitiated translation from one
language to another seems very simple
matter. involving nothing more than an
ability to read a foreign language easily
and with understanding Those who have
had experience know that nothing is so
rare as translator who can transfer to
his own tongue the style and spirit, the
soul, as it were, of a foreign book. TO
say nothing of the ideas the original au-
thor wished to convey. To accomplish this
work the translator must not only know
the foreign language in all it's intricacies
and subtleties, but must be as thoroughly
acquainted with his own, and must first
be able to write well in his own The
combination is hard to find and the con-
sequence is that translators of foreign
works too often fail to give the flavor of
the original. With a realization of this
difficulty and of the fact that persons quail
flied to do such work may need guidance
Professor Herbert Cushing Tolman, of
Vanderbilt University, has prepared q lit
tie treatise on the art of translating which
will be found very useful not only to those
with ambitious designs In this direction.

The decision of FIR. Dougherty not to
contest the election of Senator Lawler,
elected since the session began to repre-
sent the district of Jackson and Wash
ington, is in every way wise one That
Mr.. LAWYER had large majority of the
votes polled there could be no doubt. Such
being the case, the will of the majority
should not be set aside because of the
stupidity of election officers. There being
no charge of fraud in the management of
the election, a Republican Senate cannot
afford to unseat man who had large ma
jority because it would not be right. 1t may
be added that If 1t had been a Democratic
Senate, and If Mr. Lawler had been a
Republican, he would have been unseated,
judging from the performances of the Dem
ocratic Senate under Greene Smith in 1887.
