MONACO AND MONTE CARLO.
How the Gaming Capital of the World
Begun

How the Gaming Capital of the World
Begun.
Monaco and Monte Carlo were always
more or less confused In my mind until
| came here, and possibly they may be
In yours. Monaco Is the name of the
kingdom as we'll as of the capital and
chief town, and Monte Carlo is sepa-
rate town, lying also on the coast of the
Mediterranean. The two places were
originally about mile apart, but the
single street along the shore which con-
meets them has been so built up that
now they are practically one, and 1t Is
hard to tell when you are in Monte Car
10 and when you cross the line into
Monaco. Monaco Is the old town, with
dwellings and shops and castles and
dirt and market place like any other
small European city, but Monte Carlo
Is new, and lives entirely upon the Ca
sino. There are few dwelling houses
in 1t, few shops, few permanent resi-
dents beyond the hotel and Casino en-
ployes, and even the Casino men 1--we
mostly In Monaco, where rents are
cheaper. Monte Carlo consists chiefly
of the Casino and its appurtenances,
group of hotels, a railway station and
very handsome arched stone railway
bridge.
Here are the Maritime Alps, rising al
most out of the back yards of both
places, the sea in 'front.' no bits OF ar
able land bigger than flower beds, no
manufactures, no chance for any in
dustries beyond fishing and retailing
groceries, If you take away the gaming
tables. 1t was a strong temptation, no
doubt, to their little majesties of Mona
co to go In for anything that promised
to bring money into the country And
the winter climate was the best In Eu-
rope, and therefore suitable for great
winter resort. The gambling industry
was begun here in 1856, but only in a
small way. Then, four years later, a
person named Blanc, who had been eX-
PEELED from Homburg, came here and
developed it. AT present the gaming
tables support everything. The Casino
Company pays the prince $250,0O0 a
year for the concession. This is stock
company of the ordinary kind, like any
mining or insurance company, with
shares that can be bought in the mar
ket and that pay such handsome diyi-
dends that they command always a
high premium. So, If you are million
aire, as hope you are, and would like
to be In q position to dictate to a real
prince, you need only come over to
Monaco and buy enough shares liz this
company. They are 800 shares, and
sell at present at about $500, | believe.

The strength of Ice.

Two-inch ice will sustain man or
properly spaced infantry; four-inch Ice
will carry a man on horseback, or cav
airy, or light guns; six-inch ice, heavy
field guns, such as eighty-pounders;
eight-inch Ice, battery of artillery
with carriages and horses, but not over
1000 pounds per square foot on sledges;
and ten-inch ice sustains an army or an
inumerable multitude. On fifteen-inch
ice, railway could be built, and two
foot thick ice will withstand the impact
of loaded railway carriage, after a
a sixty-foot fall Tor, perhaps 1900 foot
tons). Trautwine gives the crushing
strength of firm ice as 167 to $50 pounds
per square inch.
Colonel Ludlow, in his experiments in
1881, on six to twelve-inch cubes, found
292 to $50 pounds for pure hard ice, and
ODD to $50 pounds for inferior grades,
and on an American river 200 pounds
for clear Ice and 400 pounds or less for
the ice near the mouth, where it Is
more or less disintegrated by the action
of salt water, etc. Experiments of
Gzowski gave POS pounds; those of
others, $40 to 800 pounds. The tensile
strength was found by German expert
ments to he 142 to 223 pounds per
square inch. The average specific gra-

Telling the Farmers
OF THE WEST
How to Grow Trees.

The problem of how to grow forest
trees In the dry, semi-treeless regions
Of the West is discussed in all its
phases in bulletin just issued by the
forestry division of the Department of
Agriculture.
The bulletin was prepared by George
Il. Sudworth, dentrologist There is
little in the bulletin that is not already
known to professional nurserymen, but
to the farmers and those who appre-
ciate the need, especially in the Trans
Mississippi prairie section, of the prop
agation of forest trees, 1t Is of peculiar
value.
1t Is appreciated that the art of rails
ing forest tree seedlings and planting
trees Is little known among farmers,
although it Is of great economic inter-
est to them. The information furnish
ed in the bulletin, therefore, is directed
toward the production of plant mate
rial which will succeed best under in
experienced management.
To the Eastern farmer the tree ques-
ton has not assumed the Importance it
bears to the agriculturist in the West
The greater interest centers about the
Western planter because of his greater
need for wood material, and because
the growth of trees under his condi-
tons Is most difficult. The proyident
farmer cannot afford to buy firewood
fence posts or building timber any
more than he can afford to buy corn
and wheat. The necessity for raising
trees Is, therefore, no less obvious than
of raising staple crops. In semi-tree-
less region the possession of a wood
lot to a Western farmer is of great
wood supply makes prices high for
wood material. The Eastern farmer
Is less dependent, even if his timber: is
cut off, as he lives in a wooded coun-
try where posts, fuel and lumber are
comparatively cheap.
Mr.. Sudworth says the scope of the
farmers tree planting will necessarily
be small To be successful useful re-
suits should be obtained within one
mans lifetime. To accomplish this
end he recommends that the tree plant
er confine his attention chiefly to quick
growing trees.
The failure to establish forest growth
In the plains region of the West under
the Timber Culture act is ascribed not
to the fact that trees cannot be grown
there, but to the need of better sys-
tenn and a more intimate knowledge
of the special requirements of trees I'M
der trying conditions. Thousands of
bushels Of black walnuts planted in the
West did not fail to terminate, but
many of them failed to produce trees
because the seedlings lacked con-
tinued supply of soil moisture. With
out shade and with few or no summer
rains and no irrigation, it was natural
that the hot, drying winds should with
er the tender seedlings.
The problem now is to overcome
these unfavorable conditions. 1t is be-
lieved that this can be accomplished
by starting the Seeding in the seed
bed and growing 1t in the nursery until
1t Is strong enough to maintain itself
In the plantation. If this is done, Mr..
Sudworth argues, the Western farmer
can grow trees as successfully as he
can farm crops.
