FORESTS.

Forestry is one of the foremost .ques-
tons which is occupying the atten-
ton of almost every government on
the globe. One can find an almost ex-
haustless amount of information upon
this point. The protecting of forests
on a large scale is to be found in In
dia. From India we can learn in Ha-
wall. Decreasing has been the curse
of the Islands. Let us learn from what
is put before us. If forestry is impor-
tant to people in Canada, it is doubtly
important to us on the Hawaiian ISL
ands. Consul Brentelspacher says:
The work of protecting the forests
was begun in India in 1874 and gradu-
ally extended but it has been placed
upon d thoroughly scientific basis only
during the last twenty years. The SER
vice Is divided into two hundred and
ten departments, under the direction
of expert fOresters, most of whom have
been trained in Germany and France.
They are assisted by a number of sub
ordinate officials, many of whom are
natives of India. A training school
for subordinate forestry officials has
been established near Dehra, and it is
intended to have similar training
schools at all the local centers, as it is
desired to have none but expert fOres-
terS in the service. Promotions are
made according to merit, and it is eX-
peCted that in few years about 20
l. per cent of the superior posts will be
in charge of natives selected from the
subordinate positions. The foresters
have to guard against fires, see that
there is no waste in cutting and that
the smaller trees are not destroyed,
provide for the maintenance of seed

province there are state forestry re-

cover an area of more than 80 00(
square miles, which will eventually be

raised by the sale of timber or other

cut timber, make charcoal, and gather

minor forest produce. In the Central
/ Provinces, where the reserved forest
area is computed at 1915 square miles
1,95O,OOO cattle were grazing last year
and of these only $500 We're allowed

fees. A large revenue is already de-
rived from the forests by the govern
ment of India, and it is expected that
it will steadily increase"
This is a matter to which the pres

under the head of civil and miscella-
neous receipts, amount TO nearly $40
600 GOO. The expenditures on account
of the War Department made the
largest single item.
The military budget is a very heavy
one. The expense of the army and
navy together with payments on ac-
count of pensions will be, according to
a statement of Senator Hale, close on
to SiOO, 600, 600. Which is nearly twice
as much as is paid by any European
country.
There was considerable discussion
some time ago over a billion dollar
Congress- but Senator Hale says that
the billion dollar Congress will sink
into insignhcance beside a billion dol
lar session. The volume Of appropre-
tons is constantly increasing and the
Senate finds it impossible to make any
reductions. Senator Allison calculat-
ed early in February that the appro-
priation for the next fiscal period would
reach total of $3.50 100000 but indica-
tions later in the month show that even
this enormous sum will be exceeded.
Fifty years ago who would have
dreamed of such appropriations as are
made now. Yet the country is amply
able to meet all the demands made up
on it. The wealth and resources of the
United States are practically unlimited.
