Western Forest Fires.

The impression prevails throughout the
United States, that the recent forest fires
in Washington and Oregon destroyed
standing timber to the value of many thou
sands of dollars. That the contrary is
true is based on conditions peculiarly in
teresting and native to the situation, which
are explained in Success.
The fires covered fully $1,000 acres in
Washington, destroying woods, buildings
bridges, crops and stock. Loss of human
life was small compared to the extent oil
the fire, only 50 deaths being recorded. But
the woods destroyed were the struggling
remains of the forest left by the logging
operations of decade; large trees, to be
sure, but waste lumber from the stand
point of the Puget Sound millman. In
these woods were many clearings, where
farmers had erected buildings and planted
crops. These clearings, save the few which
lay along running water or beside lakes
were swept clean of their contents.
To understand the condition which
makes live fir ireproof, one must know
that excessive dampness has brought the
fir forests into existence, that it exists in
these forests, and that when such cOndi-
ton of dampness is removed, either by cut
ting down the biggest trees or by the cut
ting of avenues through the woods, al
lowing the suns rays to penetrate where
they never entered before, the remaining
frs die, dry out and become fit fuel for any
blaze that may be started. Thus live fir
is always wet fir.
Timber men log any give tract of fir
Systematically, as a moving machine cuts
along the side Of a field. Should alternate
sections be cut down, the timber on the
sections remaining would soon dry out and
die, thus becoming total loss from the
millman's standpoint Should an enthusi-
astic forester cut only the big frs and
leave the smaller ones standing, with the
notion that they would thrive and grow,
he would fail, unless the experience of
Puget Sound loggers has been for moth
ing.
Logging crews are instructed to burn
their waste timber as they go, but even in
Midsummer logging crew must pile their
waste and allow it several days in which
to dry before it can be fired. This leads
to carelessness, and permits an accumula-
ton of pitchy lumber that sooner or later
becomes a menace to the settler whose in

ROBERT c. CLOWRY'S BEGINNING.
The President of the Union Telegraph Con
pany Worked Six Months without Pay.

Tie December Success contains an in
teresting interview with Robert 6. ClOwry,
President of the Western Union Telegraph
Company, i'll which he tells of the strug-
gle of his early life. Of his first position,
Mr.. CiOwry said:
II had been living with my mother OIL
farm in Will County, not far from-5o
and, having reached the age of 10,
thought it time to start out in the world
for myself. Ever since i first heard of the
telegraph, l was fascinated with its work
ings, and at that time my chief ambition
was to be able to send a message over the
wires. -
"'What kind of work do you want to
dog the operator asked me. replied that
didn't suppose l was capable of doing
anything but carry messages. We'll, lie
said, we don't pay boys anything the mrs,
six months; but, if you want to work, yor
will have chance to learn the business

pick up the knack of operating the keys
and, eventually, you'll get an Office of your
own
81 hadn't expected to earn any money at
first, so / told him l was ready to begin
work at once. That was the beginning OF
my experience in the telegraph business.
But, if you received no money for six
months, how did you live in Joliet during
that time?" asked Col. ClOwry.
81 was able to earn money by doing var
ious odd jobs around town, and, of course
my expenses were very low. For while
used to get my own meals. l had learned
TO do plain cooking at home, and it was
no hardship for me to fry an egg or broi
a piece of steak. Joliet was very small
town in 1852, and l had never been &C.
customed to luxurious living at home.

A Crisis Met Hallway.

There were strict orders in the Philip
pines regarding lOoting, and one day a
Lieutenant's suspicious were aroused by
a private whom he saw peering eagerly
under the piazza of house ON the out
skirts of Manila, writes Dixie Wolcott in
Harper's Magazine.

manded, in his gruffest tones.
"Why, SIR" said the soldier, saluting,
I'm only trying to catch chicken which
I've just bought"
Lieut.. X. stopped and caught sight of a
fine pair of fowls.
"There are two chickens under there"
he exclaimed, excitedly. Il bought the
other one Catch 'em both"

New Stars.
(Success.)

1t is suggested by Louis Rabourdin, a
French writer, that in each of the new
stars that blaze forth in the heavens from
time to time, we see the destruction of
celestial body by volcanic cataclysm. At
any rate, he says, if part of the earth's
crust underlying the ocean should give
way, our earth would doubtless present in
succession, to distant observer, the same
series of appearances that we witness in
the case of nOvae or new stars" First,
there would be an 0utburst of blazing ny
drogen from the seawater, decOmposed by
the earth's internal heat, then fusion of the
whole crust. reducing the globe again to
molten state, and then the gradual ex-
tinction of its light owing to cooling. As
cooling would first take place locally, We
should have variable star, the darkened
portions being periodically brought into
view by the rotation of the globe.

Of rushing the railroad every night if pos

with all the roads and paths of the coun

of the troops along the line, so that they
were able, without mourning much risk, t.
keep up commOtion along the line. They
never took time to make serious breal
in the railroad, but they frequently cut thu

at another miles away.
