RUSSIAN FORESTS,

The gradual deforestation of the
empire is becoming question of
very great Importance, and schemes
for restricting the consumption of
timber are said to be under consider
alton by the imperial government
But according to a recent official re-
port, wooden Russia does not seem
to be in imminent danger of destruc-
ton, as the forests are said to cover
an area Of AGA 100000 acres. The
forests are of greater Importance to
the Russian people than to those of
the west of Europe, as villages are
almost entirely built of wood. and
from the forests the chief supply of
fuel is obtained. 1t is asserted by the
government that private owners are
responsible for the wanton telling of
timber, and that certain laws should
be enacted to prevent this indiscrim-
mate deforestation, but it is found,
from report of the imperial domains.
that the forests yielded in 1890 a rev.
enue of 100000 roubles, and in 1899
4S,OO0,000 roubles. So large an mere
ment in nine years appears hardly
compatible with with the natural
growth of timber, and therefore it
would seem advisable for the govern
ment to set an example of the moder-
alton it impresses upon others

is sufficient to turn aside any shot.
Another novelty in the building of
the cruiser is the sheathing of Georgia

hull without, making her look exactly
like a wooden ship. The sheathing is
put on in order that she may be cop

NEW TYPE CT. WAR VESSEL.


Boston, Sept 21.-When the splen-
did new cruiser Des Moines slipped
gracefully from the ways at the Fore
River shipyard yesterday afternoon
the queen city Of the wheat fields had
reason to be proud of her position as
godmother, for it was not only a new
war vessel but a new type Of war YES

however, first of all, fighting ship.
She is to carry a most deadly and eff
fcient armament. Ten ive-inch, so
calibre, rapid fire, breech-loading guns
constitute her main battery These
guns will use smokeless powder, being
thus equal in efficiency to the six-inch
guns using black powder, called by a
high naval authority the most service
able gun that the navy has. Eight Of
these 10 guns will be on the main gun
deck in recessed ports, so mounted
that two will command a sweep from
full aft to 60 degrees forward: two
Will be able to sweep the horizon from
directly forward to so degrees aft,
while the four waist guns will be al
most as effective with their range of
81 degrees each way. The remaining
two guns are to be on the spar deck.

Founders aft, and four Colt automatic
machine guns mounted high on the
hammock berthings amidships. For
each five-inch gun there will be $50
rounds of fixed ammunition; for each
six-pounder, 500 rounds; and the mag
azines will hold a vastly greater pro-
portion of deadly missiles for the

ENTERING A UNION,

Certain unions of peculiarly skilled
workmen require a rigid examination
before admission-the electrical work
ers for instance, who maintain a regu-
lar examining board, consisting OF two
members Of the employers associa-
ton, before whom the applicants ap-
pear and answer carefully prepared
set of questions. Membership in the
union becomes a certificate of Skill,
and the employers recognize it as
such. Only recently an electrical
workers union in New York paid back
more than $500 in fees advanced by
applicants for admission who failed to
pass the examin alton. The steamfit-
ters and other unions have equally
severe examinations.
The greatest diversity of opinion
exists as to the initiation fees. In
some unions a large fee is collected,
sometimes as high as $50 or SIS or
more, on the ground that man who
pays large sum to get in will be
more likely to remain loyal; but
other successful unions charge as
little as S2-the cigarwakers' being
only So. The dues subsequently col
lected are usually about 81 per month,
this low payment often including lib
eral benefits in case of sickness, strike
or death. Many of the unions now
use the stamp system in collecting
their dues. A little book is presented
each week or ach month to tho trooc-
urer who pastes in and cancels the Of
fetal stamps of the union for the
amount of the dues paid. 1t is sight
worth seeing on Saturday or Mon
day 70 watch the workmen or their
wives or their children, each with a

"LITTLE JAIL GOOD FOR YoU.v

Harry Williamson, the seventeen
year-old son of a well-to-do business
man, living in West indianapolis. was
fined S25 and costs and sentenced to
thirty days in Jail in the police court
this morning for assaulting a negro.
says the Indianapolis News of July
25. The negro rented a house in the
nelghborhood of the Williamson
home, and the boy, with a number of
others, created a small-sized race war
in their efforts to make the negro
leave. There was evidence that Will
iamson's assault on the colored man
was premeditated.
You young hoodlums that assault
innocent negroes can expect no mercy

he finished the case.
Williamson telephoned his father
to furnish an appeal bond and the
parent said he would think the
matter over for couple of days.

in distance. The great capacity Of her
bunkers, 700 tons, will allow her to
steam a distance of 10000 miles at 10
knots, or $500 at full speed. Thus the
Des Moines might steam from San
Francisco to Manila without coaling, a
most desirable feature in a cruiser
destined to go tcoastwise. cross seas,

rowing adveGturers of the rev navy.
The recessed gun port is new to the
American navy in this type Of ship. 1t
is not a new idea, however, having
been adopted in several of the Ems n
fighting ships already. By its use gui-
of the forward and after batteries of
the gun deck are given fair opportuni-
ty to train directly fore or aft without
altering the course of the vessel. In
case Of chasing or being chased,
though no Yankee man-o'-war's man
will agree that the latter contingency
is liable to arise, three of the guns of
the main battery OF the Des Moines
may be trained directly upon a ship
ahead, three others on a ship in the
wake behind, without altering the
course of the cruiser Another advan-
tage of the recessed gun port is that
the guns are placed little nearer the
central line of the vessel. thus lessen
ing the strain from their conclusion.
