STATE FORESTRY SURVEYS.

Recent cooperation between the national ana

out precedents and parallels, but there is sui
wide field in which tne same policy may be
adopted with advantage. Not having any for
estry commission of her own Maryland has ac-
cepted the offer of the federal government TO
supply the experts. while she meets part OF
the expense and lends official sanction by the
nominal participation of her geological survey
in the work In this manner the extent and
condition of the forests are being noted, special
attention is given to their influence upon river
flow and agriculture, and suggestions as 10
future preservat ton are being formulated. Each
county is taken by itself. In five the IN
ventory has been completed and for three
the results have been published Whether
MarvIand will follow the example or the EN-
pire State in establishing preserves ana Great

seen; but the information already secured ought

wealths will go at least as far as Maryland
has gone.
Inquiries into existing timber resources and

E0R 4 psYCHOPATHIC HOSPITAL.

In his annual message to the Legislature la
January Governor OdelI spoke of the work done
by the insane pavilion established in connec-
tion with the Albany Hospital in promoting re-
covery of acute cases by prompt treatment. and
said:
This constdera ton has led the commission to
suggest that at New-Tor there shall be a SINH
lar hospital provided, $50 that such acute cases
can receive not only the attention of the physi-
clans who are employed by the State, but of the
distinguished aiienists residing in the metropo-
lis That the average number OF patients ad-
rnitted to the hospitals would be thereby con-
sidera bly, lessened and the cures increased is GER
tain and with this recommendation am IN
hearty accord
This recommendation has been embodied in
a bill introduced in the Senate by NJ. foiey
and in the Assembly by Mr. Wainwright. 1t
provides that the State and city shall cooperate
in the enterprise, the city furnishing the site
and the State the building The appropriation
required will not be large. and it will be ex-
pended gradually. Ahenists are emphatic in
their belief that prompt and intelligent care
contributes materially to the recovery of acute
cases. At present persons awaiting commit
ment are often neglected They are detained in
almshouses police stations. or even Jalis, OF

PROTECTING BIRDS.

The protection of birds has been carried SO
far in England that fruit growers and farmers
are complaining bitterly of the ravages oil
thrushes blackbirds and bulfnches- These
winged beauties work great mischief in gar
dens and orchards.
American readers Of British books recall with
pleasure vivid descriptions of the diversion Oh
shooting young rocks III the early spring "lth
short range small bore rifles, and OF the sue
culence Of young rook pies cooked by experts
But it now appears that the English rocks
have NOT been thinned out with sufficient
thoroughness, and these birds do harm to yarl-
Gus farm crops.
East of the Mississippi in most of the States
