srUDYTsG FoR EST FIR IFS.

Forest fires in the United States cause yearly loss of from s25, ,OO0,0 900 to $5O,0Oo,OoO, and the United States Bu- reau of Forestry is going to do what it can to diminish this enormous loss. It has placed men in forest districts in different parts oe the country to study fires while in the process of burning. Instead os waiting until the fires are over and relying for information on local reports. as has been done hereto fore. the fires are now being observed by the Bureaus agents, and full data will be obtained as to how they were caused, how fast they burn, what condi- tions favor or hinder them. and just what damage they do to the soil and to tree growth. Each agent of the Bureau has been assigned to a district, and is Investigating all fires that occur within his territory. For example, one man studies lumber tract, another farm- ing district. a third turpentine orch- ard, etc. In connection with this detail- ed study the agents will. observe the methods of fire protection practised by railroads and other owners of timber lands. The fire warden systems of the States which have forest laws and the patrol system in use on the Federal for est reserves will also be observed close ly. ,#
 By such methods the Bureau of For estry hopes to replace with carefully gathered facts the vague general mo- tions that now exist about forest fires. When the problem is solved for any particular region the Bureau will be ready to recommend methods of fire prevention and control for the private land owner, and to suggest forest fire legislation by the various States.

RADTTTM AND MJTsK

Radium was the subject matter under discussion, and lawyer said: T don't see anything so wonderful in radium. Admit that it does throw off light and heat, in kind of perpetual motion, without any loss of weight and energy well, won't grain of musk do the same thing? One single grain of musk (tl1is has been demonstrated) will scent for several years 8 room twelve feet square and in the end the grain will still remain entire. Consider what this means.

There is no lawyer of any experience who can- not recall and name many cases of young men, sometimes among the brightest young men in the profession, who have been ruined by intemperance in the use of liquors. A half dozen such cases are very well known to every member of the Hartford county bar.

NATION IN MINIATURE.
Unique Exhibition to Be Seen at St
 Louis.

6Ou1Ss
 Washington. April L-(Speclal )-Assist- ant Secretary of Agriculture Brigham. Chairman of the Government Board for the St. Louis Exposition. has an attrac- tive object lesson plan to interest foreign visitors. He has secured the use of a sunny slope of ground on eight or ten acres near the government building. which will be laid off like a map of the United States. Every State and Terri tory will be clearly defined, and the boundary line will be a pathway, so the visitor can walk around each separate commonwealth.
 The products of every section will be represented and will be growing at the opening of the exposition. if agricultural skill can effect that result by May 1, 1904 A miniature field of rice will be growing ih Louisiana, Texas and the Carolinas. with other products of those States. Mississippi. Florida, Alabama, Georgia. the Carolinas and Texas will have fields of cotton to vie in beauty with the pastoral charms of the wheat and corn Nof Tennessee and Kentucky. Vir- ginia, Kentucky and the Golden Tobac- co Belt of North Carolina will show the weed in all its native varieties. Mary land, Arkansas and Missouri will afford a bird s-eye view of the variety and value of diversified crops. Kentucky will be covered with the famous blue grass The varied productions of Tennessee will be we'll displayed. There will be oil from Texas and ores from the Birmingham and Chattanooga districts, granite and marble from quarries near Knoxville and other places in the South, all to indicate that in spite of the variety and productiveness of Dixie's soil. her reserve wealth of resources Is infinitely greater still.

DIES OF HIS WOUNDS
MARSHAL BISHOP EXPIRES
 IN GRAD.
Now Believed that There Was ( Conspiracy to Murder the Officer. Two Men Arrest
 ed and Released.

Columbus. Ga., April 7.-(speciai.)-J M. Bishop, marshal of Girard. who wal stabbed last night by Ramsey Webster whom he in turn shot dead after c des. perate struggle in the dark, died from his wounds this afternoon.
 's' twas seen from the first that fiis in jurtes were fatal as the long Spanish dag. ger was thrust several times into the of. flcer's abdomen before he could realize fully that he was being attacked by the man who had inveigled him to his home with the deliberate purpose. 1t is believed, of murdering him.
 Every store in Girard was closed thls afternoon and a deep gloom hangs over the town. The funeral of Marshal Bish- op will occur tomorrow, the interment taking place at Crawford, Ala. He will be buried with Masonic. Odd Fellow and military honors. the Twin City Guards forming an honorary escort to Crawford
 Ramsey Webster was buried in Girard cemetery this afternoon.
 Public excitement in Girard has been greatly intensified by a suspicion that there was a conspiracy to murder Mar shal Bishop.
 A mysteries feature of the affair is that while the marshal was shooting his as- sassin with his pistol a winchester rife report rang out in the same vicinity.
 The bullet did not strike the marshal. but struck in a yard not far away, and from its range it was conjectured that the person who fired 1t stood just across the street from the marshal.
 Acting upon the theory that the whole affair was a made-up plot to entice the marshal to the house. and that the mes sage to come and save Mrs. Webster from mistreatment by her drunken hus- band was untrue. the authorities placed both Mrs. Webster and her 15-year-old daughter under surveillance, while J. L.. Turner and Henry Ledbetter were arrest ed on the suspicion of being implicated in the affair. They have since been re- leased. however. and the guard has been removed from about the Webster resi- dence,

Spraunce. representing the Spraunce Fruit Company, one of the largest ship pers of the State. stated that the time between the coast and the Atlantic was from sixteen to twenty days, and that the fruit arrived with certain percent age of loss by decay.

Leniency to the Chinese Not Liked

 by Other Nations.
 Pekin, April 1.-The American financial agent at Shanghai recently submitted to the International Financial Commission c silver bond for the American indemnity to be presented to the Chinese represen- tatives for signature. The commission declined to present the silver bond, where upon the United States financial agent forwarded 1t direct to the Chinese.
 Information received from other than American sources is to the effect that the United States has withdrawn the sil- yer bond and is preparing one on a gold basis which is practically identical with the Japanese bond. There is a strong feeling among the other legations against America breaking the contract. particu- larly as the Chinese admit officially as they have always admitted privately, that the debt Is on a gold basis. The Anieri- can policy is intensely unpopular with all classes of Americans in China.
 A report has been on foot for some time that France is preparing to inter- vene and suppress the instruction in Kwangsi province, which borders the French colony of TonKin and where 1o0,- 900 rebels are said to be .n arms.
 The foreign legations here are interest ed in the outcome of the Russo-Japanese quarrel over a concession in Manchuria at the mouth of the Yalu River which has resulted in the despatch of Russian troops to that point. former Rus sian financial agent in Korea claims to hold timber concessions of both sides of the Yalu and recently sent his agents to operate them. They found the Japanese in possession of the territory and the latter refused to vacate. The Russian concessionaire appealed to the Russian authorities who have taken the matter in hand.
