The rise in values of most kinds OF leather
during 1901 was followed by continued activity
and an era Of high prices during 1902. The
leather trade as rule last year was satisfactory
to tanners of most varieties, although unusually
high rates for raw material served TO make
profits small. Shoe manufacturers in New
England did not turn out quite as many shoes
as the vear previous. but the falling on in the
I5ast was offset by an increase in the West, and

Forests Disappearing.

Secretary Wilson of the depart
ment of agriculture sounds a note of
warning of the approaching destruc-
ton of the largest and most valuable
American forests. He recently made
trip through the south and makes
the statement that the great pine for
ests are rapidly disappearing before
the AK of the lumber. man. Secre-
tary Wilson's department is cognizant
of the fact that the exhaustion of
the timber in the south is near at
hand; that a suitable means of pro-
fitably cultivating the land must be
determined in the near future.
Secretary Wilson, in recent report,
says: Before it is too late a new
agricultural industry must take the
place of the old. Cutting timber for
the market and for turpentine and
like products yields an immense in
come to the south. but the end is in
sight; the pine lands of Georgia and
Florida are being denuded and are
sure to vanish, just like those of
Minnesota and Michigan"

approaching nearer and nearer TO the
100-mile-an-hour mark and no little
interest is being taken as to whether
America will first pass the 10O-mile
mark or Europe. American loeomo-
tives are the best made and they are
very fast. But Germany is moving
along like the wind in this direction,
and Germany may show the world the
first 1OO-mile-an-hour accommodation
train.
On the famous little piece of rail
road between Berlin and Zossen. eX-
periments looking in this direction
are interestingly reported by Consul
General Mason. They were conduct
ed last November, and speed of 90
miles an hour was actually attained
with entire safety. The speed was
increased to little over 90 miles an
hour and then it was found that the
Zossen roadbed was not strong
enough to stand the racket" This
amounts TO n demonstration that,
given strong enough roadbed, 100
miles an hour is certainly not the linn
ii of safe travel by the electric rail
road of the future. That $50 miles
an hour may even be reached is infer
red from Mr.. Mason's remark that
there is mo longer a doubt that, Civ
en- sufficient voltage. the current
could be got into the car for any
speed that might be desired" At any
rate. Yankee inventive skill should be
the first to devise roadbed strong
enough to bear the strain of the mile
and-a-half-a-minute speed already
realized-but with danger of derail-
ment-on the Berlin-Zossen line.

Thursday was almost unanimous in
favor Of the bill adopting the Mica.
raguan route. The Senate has yet to

ciined to favor the Panama route.
Congress has been diilydallying with
the canal project for years, and after
it had been fully decided to give the
French company that controls the
abandoned Panama canal no further
consideration. and steps were taken
to proceed with the Nicaraguan canal,
the Panama people immediately noti-
fed this government that they were
willing to take 10000, 900 for their
property, where they had formerly
refused to think Of anything less
than i30, 900, 900. II is not known
whether this abrupt and inexplicsble
action of the Panama people is de-
signed to delay the other project, or is
simply last resort of men who have
been holding out for an extortionate
price as long as there was hope Of get
ting it, and when they saw their last
chance go slimmering, offered to take
the other price rather than nothing.
Each route has ITS advantages, but the
principal one with the Nicaraguan is
that it will be built in six years,
while 1t will require ten to complete
the Panama. The latter is much the
shorter, but the other is nearer this
country. 1t is estimated that there
will not be much difference i'll the
