Bureau of Forestry.

VI VI "
The Bureau of Forestry of the y. S.
Department of Agriculture continues
to receive requests for advice and as
sistance in the management of private
woodlands in the South. One of the
latest requests is for working plan
for ], 900, 900 acres of 1ongleaf pine land
in Southeastern Texas. The owners
state that they are anxious to exploit
their forests on scientific lines, cut
ting the nerchantable timber in such
a way as to insure protection to the
yourg growth.
In October, 1898, the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, through its Di-
vision of Forestry, first offered to give
practical assistance to farmers, lum-
bermen and others, in the handling of
their forest lands. The response to
this offer was immediate, and in three
years private owners of over 100000
acres of woodland have availed them
selves of the opportunity.
LII no pdIL VI lIlC Guilty 40 WAoNA
interest being shown in conservative
forest management by private owners,
than in the Southern States. Up to
date the amount of private lands in the
South for which advice in handling
has been asked of the Bureau, is l.
$4,000 acres, and a very large part of
the work which will be done by the
Bureau for private owners IN the i'm
mediate future will be in that section.
The industrial development of the
South on all sides during the last ten
years has been remarkable, but no
Single industry has made greater
strides than the lumber business. This
is not surprising when it is considered
that the Southern States contain
greater percentage of forest area than
any other section of the United States.
The South has become very import
ant factor in the lumber markets of
the world, not only through it's wealth
of forests, but from the fact thatit has
unusually good transportation facili-
ties.
The South now has great army of
1umbermen cutting away its forests,
and in spite of their great extent, UNI
less the cutting is done on conservative
lines, the day is not far distant when
the conditions now existing in the
North and East will be found there
also. For this reason it is encourag
ing to see the interest in practical for
estry displayed by the owners of pri-
vate timberlands. This tendency to
cut timber conservatively, looking to
the future value of the forests as well
as to present profits must be the safe
guard. Conservative methods are now
being taken up in the States of Michi-
gan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania
when almost too late, and it will be
greatly to the credit of Southern lum
bermen if they begin the protection of
their forests in time; taking to heart
the sad experience of people in other
sections.
MOT only nave the people thIoug nouI
the country shown interest in practical
forestry, but Congress at its last ses-
sion so far recognized the Importance
of the governments work in this line
as to raise the Division of Forestry to
the rank of Bureau. The annual APP
priation was also increased from
$88, $50 in 1900 to $185, 44O in 1901. Still
the demands upon the Bureau con-
tinue to greatly outstrip its resources.

Woes of the Poet.

The poet has to stand more tramp
ling ON his toes, more knocks and
bangs, than the majority of men. Pos
sibly be is-so sensitive that he feels
them more; anyhow, he suffers and
endures, and is always expecting a
Solar-plexus blow. He had a woman
friend whom he admired and esteemed
a lot. he was intensely particular,
however, but she liked him and al
ways had something kindly to say.
The other evening she began talking
about his book Of verse.
81 borrowed it from a friend" she
declared, land started to read it. l
would pick Ii up before breakfast or
after supper, but do you know that
every time l was trying my best to
wade through it some of the children
il the house would call me for some
thing, and I never did plow through
the volume"
The poet had grinned broadly when
she began on the subject of his book,
but the words ''wade through it."
"plow through it." felled his spirit to
the dust. That girl was worse than
the woman who wrote poet a note
Of thanks for a gift of his book and
let him find it on her parlor table with
the leaves uncut
Those Wise Children Again.
George is years old, and his faith
er read him the impressive story of
George Washington and the cherry
tree and the subsequent frank admis-
sion. Noticing the look of astonish-
ment on the child's face, his father
asked, Don't you think he was a
very good bOy?" "Good, papa 2" said
George incredulously. 'Why, of course
he knew his father had got wise any
how"
This reminds us OF the story of the
mother who, after reading 'Casabi-
anca" to her little daughter, remarked
Nov, wasn't he a good little boy?"
Eyes" sighed the child. He was aw-
fully good, but he wasn't bit smart. /"

WONDERFUL results are reported
from experiments conducted at the
Berlin electrical works with the idea
of utilizing the heat which goes to
waste in the exhaust steam of high
pressure or in the circulating water of
low pressure steam engine. For the
purpose of using this waste heat, So
called cold vapor engines have been
built, and long-continued tests show
that they add an average Of Al per
cent to the efficiency of the compound
engines to which they are attached,
and that without adding to the con-
sumption of coal by SO much as sin
gle pound. What such a saving would
mean in a large plant will be appreci-
ated by every man who has to do with
the development Of steam power.

No. the trade Of war was not one of
unalloyed glory for Horatio Nelson.
Not only was he shot to pieces in bat
tie, but all his life he suffered keenly
from bodily weakness aggravated by
unhealthy climate and fare on ship
board. In one battle he contracted
blood disease by taking the rammer
from the hands Of dying gunner and
serving the shots himself. In spite of
his distressing condition, however, he
generally maintained a sweetness Of
temper and at times under the most
NOR, as at Copenhagen. Even in his
last hour at Trafalgar, when word was
brought to him that fourteen of the al
lied ships had been captured, he said,
'"That is we'll, but bargained for TWEEN
ty." This referred to a conversation
before the battle began in which he
said that he would take it as a victory
if he got twenty of the enemy's YES
sells. The last scene on the deck of the
Victory was heartrending in its tender
ness and pathos. Nelson was coura-
geous to the last, thoughtful and calm.
He knew that it was death, and after
he became unconscious the lips repeat
ed again and again the last thought OF
his mind: ''Now | am satisfied. Thank
God, have done my duty" The trag
ic story in the rugged logbook of the
flagship reads, partial firing contin-
ued until 4:30, when, victory having
been reported to Viscount Nelson, x.
B., he died of his wound"
The noted signal at Trafalgar was
not struck at white heat, like most of
Nelson's noted expressions. He wrote,
NELSON confides that every man will
do his duty" An officer suggested that
the appeal should be in the name of
England, and Nelson assented to the
change The signal officer for conven-
fence In transmitting made it eng
land expects that every man will do
his duty"
Nelson's bluntness was displayed Of
ten in the heat of action. At Trafalgar
the captain Of the flagship told him at
one stage that he could not take the
Victory through the enemy's line of
battle without running into one of
three allied ships standing across the
course 81 cannot help it," said the adj
miral "Go on board which you please.
Take your choice"
At another time, when asked for di-
rections how to fight, he said "a cap
tain cannot go wrong if he lays his ship
alongside the nearest foe" Even when
dying he remembered the situation Of
the ships and several times caIIeu out,
anchor, Hardy, anchor" This refer

only one eye and have right 10 be
blind sometimes" With the glass to
the blind eye. another souvenir of bat
tie, he exclaimed: II really do not see
the signal. Din the signal. anyway!
Keep mine for close action flying. Yes,
nail it to the mast That's the way
answer signals to leave off action"
At the end Of one hour more fighting
he was debating terms to the van
pushed sailor, Prince of Denmark.

Some circumstances indicate that Mel
son felt the approach of fate when he
left the north to go in search Of the
French feet. He had been waiting two
years to get a chance to finish the
business. Before setting out for the
Mediterranean he arranged his private
affairs, and it is said stopped in Lon
don to give orders about a coffin. The
night before Trafalgar he wrote letters
to Lady Hamilton and the daughter,
Horatia. After he had given instruc-
tons to the captain of the frigates he
parted with him saying, II shall never
speak to you again"
At daylight on the morning Of the
fight he was on deck dressed in his ad-
miraPs frock coat, with the stars of his
four different orders Of knighthood up
on the breast. He had left his sword Oh
the cabin table and did not wear it dur
ing the engagement. He was shot by a
French sharpshooter from the Redoubt-
able when that ship was in the embrace
of the English flagship, Victory. So
went down Baron Nelson of the Nile.

feelings of every citizens heart most
keenly; but while this just Indignation
that a contemplate alien should lay his
hands on our most sacred public trust
thus is fresh in our hearts, let us ask
ourselves whether we are altogether
blameless in the matter. Do we not, by
too great freedom of speech toward our
public men, encourage others to believe
that we hold too lightly by them? Not
only during the acrimonious heat Of

Neither is it true that the rich are all

There are men who never knew good

He is a master workman among phrase
