THE SCARCITY OF LUMBER.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: The general depression Of the building IN

year has been IN account Of extremely high prices

will perhaps be appreciated by many. The State
of Maine espectally the timber belt which covered
hundreds of square miles. was recently visited by a
fire that destroyed millions Of feet Of lumber
which cannot be replaced in many years. In addi-
ton to this destruction and devastation. hundreds
Of millions of feet OF logs and lumber have been
lost in the Mississippi River in the recent Western
floods. In fact, there has been more timber and
lumber lost and burned this year than be re-
plenished by all the manufacturers IN one whole
year

HaUing Morgan Art Collection.

Regarding a report that J. Pierpont Morgan

prominent citizen Of Washington and an officer

with a Tribune reporter. declared Il would be

There has been some discussion Of a national
gallery OF art. which we need ne continued
and. Of course. Washington is the place for IL.
1 hope the project viii be carried out, and any
thing l could do TO encourage it I would certain
y do. II would be better for the country at
large for the Morgan collection to be in Wash

l suppose a man in New-York should talk for
New York. but I am inclined to take a more
generous view. In fact, I am inclined to think
that he location OF the Grant monument here
was a mistake, and that il should be in Wash
lHStCl- Individually. would like TO have
MI. AoTgan's collection, the value OF which
runs into the millions brought from Europe
10 this city, but as I say, a national gallery OF
art should be in Washington, where there should
also be a national art school and jury OF selec-
uon composed of men capable of judging art
II is dlt1cuIt 10 get such a jury here In Paris
they nave a competent jury TO select works for
the PrIE de Rome and works for the national
gallery, the Luxembourg. There does not seem
to be so much petty jealousy there as here.
Mr. MOrgan's collection would be a great
addition 70 the proposed gallery. I should say
such a gallery would require expenditure Of

EATING OF MEAT IN HOT WEATHER

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Your editorial "Don'ts" of the other day
were. the majority Of them, timely. I wish 10 call
your attention 10 the ''Donts" that do not agree
with science. though based on fallacies accepted
truth.
Beef is not Carbona ceous food But II Is food
that nourishes all the tissues OF the body During
the heated term ones nervous system is impaired
by the action Of the high temperature; the exces-
sive perspiration takes away an unusual amount
Of nuUltive salts from the body, and the demand
Of nature IS for good feeding Instead. many peo-
PIE load up sweets. whi-h either fcrrent. pro-
ducing almentary trouble, or. if assimilated. are
burned up in the body producing more heat The
same applies to fruits which need 10 be eaten with
great caution. AS to milk the cool mess Of crack
ers and milk in the stomach soon becomes a sour
sodden mass and, IN the large majority Of adults
results in buiousness. If nothing else.
Some years ago medical of heavy weight
came into my Office. almost overcome by the heat
had him battle his wrists in running water and then
we adjourned to the Lawyers Club for luncheon
he said he wanted nothing but crackers and milk
/ told him that I ordering and he was rStng

juice IS preferable But that which quenches
thirst the best with the greatest amount Of uiti-
mate cooling is hot water or some warm drink.

COLUMBUSs NEW WORLD"
What He Really Believed He Had Found.

WhaC he Really BeleVed he Had round.
To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir, Mr. John RockwelTs brief note in your issue
of July too brief for either justice 10 me or
truth to the facts. Mr.. Rockwell Is a fine scholar
in the Spanish originals of a large part of our
knowledge Of Columbus. and IT would greatly pro-
mote accurate scholarship in the history of the
period if some publisher Of standing would bring
out a volume of his transations from the Spanish
(or from any other tongue into which the originals
were rendered.
In this case he might have quoted a sentence In
the original and given his version of it, IN proof
Of his attempt to correct me. I should be only too
glad 10 have him for his sake, prove that
Columbus used the words which he puts within
marks Of quotation "a world" but even If he
can do this it will not prove that my statement IS
incorrect What Columbus did the mouth Of
the Orinoco. in view OF its vast outpour Of fresh
water, was to reason with himself that the river
food proved one of two things either continental
land Of which the world had had no knowledge, or
a downpour Of waters from nipple shaped top OF
the world. waters of the Earthly Paradise, on the
top Of the world. to which no human voyager could
ascend without express Almighty permission
The decision IN CoIumbus's mind was against the
first alternative, and in favor of the second and
the statement that he says in his report of the third
voyage that it was a new world that he be-
slowing on the sovereigns of Spain is carelessly
with the utmost care, but I have critically repro
duced the story. and know whereof 7 affirm. The
new world report started from distinct discov-
cries covering the region which we know Brazil
and 'AmeTica. originally meant the great southern
continent, wholly apart from the islands which
Columbus reported as being the isles Of India be
youd the Ganges." Either Mr.. Rockwell is ig
norant reporter Of studies which credit him with
having made, or he has spoken hastily and
justly in his eagerness to break the force of my
statement.
