cclcutlnc forestry mas received
great impetus in the last year from the
preserves that have been established
by such men as w. c. Whitney, George
Vanderbilt and DR.. Seward Webb, and
from the work Of foresters like Clifford
Pinohot.
Mr.. Whitney has a great tract OF 6S-
600 acres in the Adirondacks, in which
he is working out the problems of for
estry and game preservation He has
already introduced moose, and at pres
ent w. @. Harris, the ichthyologist. is
studying the problem of fish suIQly
there for him. Besides his own forAt-
ers, of whom he has regiment, the
foresters of the United States Govern
ment have been studying his tract and
have laid out method of conservative
numbering. This was done in accord
ance with an offer made by the De-
partment of Agriculture to all owners,
public and private, of forest lands. un-
der which the United States authorities
volunteered to make studies OF certain
tracts which presented favorable Op.
portunities TO illustrate forest manage
ment, prepare plans for the work and
to supervise the execution of them.
The owners need merely TO pay the
necessary expenses Of the Federal en-.
ploye assigned to the work.
DR.. Webb also had his tract. which
contains about 10000 acres, examined
by the Government. The Government
experts went through the woods. with
hatchets on the face Of which the ini-
tials ~. 81 were cut Every tree that
was selected as proper one for telling
was blazed with this below the stump
and the lumbermcn had orders to chop
down no tree unless it was so marked.
The results Of the Introduction of
scientific methods We're surprising. phe
net cost to the owner of going through
the Webb tract and marking the trees
was S54379. Among the wasteful
methods discovered in the tract and
checked by the examination was that

men do not care TO cut the trees near
the ground, because the work is much
harder and tires their backs. BY care
full measurement, the foresters demon
strated that on tract of 10000 acres
the net loss from leaving high stumps
was $4,000, which could be saved read
lily each year.
They also drew up plan for cutting
the tops instead of leaving them in the
woods. AS a rule, the lumbermen lop
off from four to twelve feet Of the tops.
and this debris always has been one of
the great sources of forest fires. Lum-
bermen have objected to carrying the
tops out because, they declared, they
were unstable waste and represented
nothing but loss, and that consequent
ly II would be ruinous to go TO the ex.
ira expense of transporting them.
The foresters showed that the tons
that were left in the woods of 10000
acre tract would be worth $500. Thus
improvident numbering not only had
caused a constant menace from fire,
but actually thousands of dollars had
been left in the woods to rot each year.
Thus, with the introduction OF prac-
teal foresters, the problem of the for
ests will be in a way to be solved salts.

1t Teaches Typewritinp.

By far the larger portion of the
practice necessary to become, expert in
the use of the typewriter must be de-
voted to the keyboard, proficiency in
handling the carriage, erasing errors,
etc., being easily gained in short
time. The keyboard being thus the
most important part of the machine
for the beginner, the idea of making
separate keyboards for this practice
work has occurred to Joseph Challin-
ger of Walsall, England.
The purchase or rental of a COM
plete machine is too expensive for
many, whereas the cost of this kew
board is so low as to place it within
the reach of any one who desires to
acquire the necessary speed to secure
a situation. The mechanism is ex-
tremely simple, consisting of a slant
Ing base supported by four side strips,
with vertical perforations arranged to
correspond with the positions of the
keys OF typewriter. In each perfora-
ton the stem of a key is placed, the
lower ends of the stems having eye

cord. At frequent intervals this cord
is secured to the under surface of the

M. J. Thoulet has investigated the
constitution of the ocean bed, and
finds that the more deeply it is pene-
trated the less the proportion OF
slime and the less calcareous matter
On the other hand, the proportion OF
sand grains and pure clay increases
with depth. No regularity obtains in
the distribution of the non-calcareous
mineral grains. This normal distribu.
ton appears to be more pronounced
the deeper the ocean bed itself lies
below the water, surface, but, in any
case, the variations due to ocean depth
are small. Even in the deepest water
the constitution of the bed shows
traces of the conditions prevailing
near the surface of the ocean above
the bed. The latter remark is OF i'm,

Light of q Moonless Sky.

Attempts have been made to meas
ure the light of the moonless night
sky. Mr.. Gavin J. Burns, an English
astronomer, has roughly estimated
that the total light of one hemisphere
equals that of 1000 frst-magnitude
stars, and Professor Simon Newcomb
has-perhaps more accurately-found
this total light to be equal to that OF
80 to 80 irst-magnitude stars. The
brightness seems to be not entirely
due to visible and invisible stars. The
zodlacal light and the gegenschein, a
midnight glow opposite the sun, have
been seen to extend across the heav'
ems, and it is suggested that these are
out Investigations of general lum'
mostly of the entire sky due to some
unknown causes.

around which an electric current was

the iron ring was so strong that the
