Forestry
Devotees

The new opening is in forestry, or
'orest engineering. as it is coming to
be called, and In a country with such
vast forest tracts as ours, tracts fitted
Tor nothing but forest growth and ad-
mirably adapted to that, with vast
capital and labor depending on the
timber supply for employment, 1t is
forest engineer, the man who knows
how to keep up the annual supply for
ever. Forestry as a profession is not
new to the world, for 1t has been prac-
ticed with profit by generations of the
more thrifty European races. 1t is
new to this country because tho time
is only just ripe for its employment.
IL has become essential to the con-
tinued prosperity of our lumber indus
try In it's producing and manufactur-
ing branches. With an increasing
population and general prosperity
local consumption of timber has null
tipied rapidly. The demand from
abroad is also continuous and growing.
To meet 1t we have very certain and
fixed stock of growing timber, and
much of the best timber land is aban-
doned to absolute desert waste, after
being clean cut, as the phrase is. For
estry, the applied science of growing
trees for profit, would never sanction
such shiftless, short-sighted, yea. sui
cidal methods. 1t would keep in grow
ing timber, and that of the kinds best
suited to the particular soil and mar
ket, every acre of land which was
not more valuable for agriculture,
building or some other form of busi-
ness enterprise. In brief, it may be
said that the wealth produced from
our American forests each year ex-
ceeds in value the total product of
all the gold, silver, copper, iron, lead
and coal mines, and the value of this
crop surpasses that of the wheat and
cotton fields combined. The statistics
of our national trade bear out these
statements. In similarly abbreviated
form it can be said that this country
is now and has been for several years
past using fully so per cent more wood
per annum for all purposes than the
forests can produce under natural con-
ditions. What those forests can do
when skillfully assisted by future
generations OF forest engineers is for
those men to prove. Surely there will
not be the wanton waste which goes
on today land that leakage stopped
can properly be charged up to the
credit of Increased production), and
the trees will grow faster for being
given the proper conditions without
the necessity Of their fighting for them
single handed. Forestry cannot be
studied today in any and every college
in the land. There are at present

The war in South Africa has fur

surgical experience, showing the effect
Of modern arms of precision and OF an

While 1t is too early to draw deduc-
Hons from the statistics of the war II
ls worthy of rote that, where the rec

An elephant catcher seems to be
needed in India on the railroad be-
tween Bengal and Assam. AS the su-
perintendent of the line was making
an inspection trip over 1t on the night
of July II last, while passing through
the great Nambar forest the train came
to a stop with a Jolt that threw the
travellers out of their berths. 1t had
run into a herd Of wild elephants
which were trotting down the track.
the hindmost of which had both hind
legs broken and was thrown into the
ditch, while the engineman counted
seven others which got away. This
was not the first time that wild ele-
plants had got on the track, and or
dinary fences and cattle guards are no
protection.
