ed WAS late from the west, keeping
the record breaker waiting for the
transfer mails, so the train had
ample opportunity to display its
speed.
No. 10 liz scheduled to leave at 8
p. m. sharp, and when it finally
pulled out at $3.50 Conductor Cook
announced that there would be
something doing to overcome that
fifty-five minutes lost. And there
was. Between Council Cluffs and
Missouri Valley the road winds
along between the bluffs and the
river in serpentine lines, and the
regular time for this twenty-five
miles even for this flyer is twenty
seven minutes. Last night the
distance was covered in nineteen
minutes and a half, something
phenomenal for the piece of track.
But beyond Missouri Valley,
where the track stretches out in q
straight line, the engineer let out
another link of engine No. 2lS and

minutes of the needed tifty-ive

the journey only third complet-

reached.

for AS miles including five stops
and the sinuons run along between

Only half a dozen senators we're

Mississippi delivered his speech
on the Philippine bill. Back in

the little man emerged from be-

hurried from the chamber.

Modern Military
Surgery
* ~ ~ ~ ~ 49,

The war in South Africa has fur
nished a vast amount of interesting
surgical experience, showing the effect
of modern arms of precision and OF an
tiseptic methods in the hospitals.
While it is too early to draw deduc-
tons from the statistics OF h war. 1t
is worthy Of note that, where h rec
ords were kept of 1887 officers and
men who had been wounded, only 1872
died of wounds received in action. This
small mortality is attributed to the
prompt application Of a first-aid dress
ing. The action of the Mauser bullet
upon human tissues depends upon the
range al which it is fired. Within 200
Yards 1t has an explosive character.
The nickel case seem to expand and
become detached, causing a severe
lacerated and confused wound, which
heals very slowly. If it strikes a bone
it brushes and destroys it. If fired at
a longer range it makes a clean-drilled
hole through a bone, while if it strikes
soft parts of the body only a small
wound is made, there being but little
difference between the place Of en-
trance of the bullet and it's exit, which
bleeds but little unless an important
vessel is injured. .
It is remarkable how few amputa-
lions have been performed during the
Boer war. DR.. Kendall Franks has re-

Forestry
DevOteeS

The new opening is in forestry, or
forest engineering, as it is coming to
be called, and in a country with such
vast forest tracts as ours, tracts fitted
for nothing but forest growth and adj
mirably adapted to that, with vast
capital and labor depending on the
timber supply for employment, it is
evident that there is a field for the
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 it has been prac-
ticed with profit by generations of the
more thrifty European races. 1t is
new to this country because the time
is only just ripe for it's employment.
1t has become essential to the con-
tinued prosperity of our lumber indus
try in it's producing and manufacture
ing branches. With an increasing
population and general prosperity,
local consumption of timber has null
tiplied rapidly. The demand from
abroad is also continuous and growing.
To meet it we have a 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 bust
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
of our national trade bear out these
statements. In similarly abbreviated
form it can be said that this country
is 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 (and that leakage stopped
can properly be charged up to the
credit Of increased production), and
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
