What Forestry Is.

Forestry is the preservation Of for
ests by wise use. 1t does not mean
the abbreviatlon OF that use. 1t means
making the forest useful not only to
the settler, the rancher, the miner, the
man who lives In the immediate neigh
borhood, but indirectly to the man who
lives hundreds of miles off.-Presldent
Roosevelt.

Only When II Strikes the Retina of
the Eye Can IL lie Seen.

What Is the simplest demonstration
of the fact that light is invisible?
The blackness OF midnight sky
We may see the planets Of the moon
brilliantly Illuminated by the suns
rays, but the surrounding space Is
dark, although we know that light
must be passing there.
The passage OF beam OF light
through q darkened room Is only visl-
BILE on the dust in the air, and the cone
Of light seen when the sun shines
through a small hole In shutter Is
not visible, but only light reflected
from the notes In the beam. This can
be easily and simply demonstrated by
placing In the beam n glass vessel
from which the dust has been carefully
removed. The beam then may be seen
before and after entering the vessel,
but Is invisible within. A Bunsen
burner or n redhot poker held so as to
destroy the notes will also render tho
beam invisible ut that spot.
Light Is only visible when II strikes
on the retina of the eye, and 1t can
only do so when 1t reaches 1t In d.
rect line or is turned by reflection or
refraction into direct line. Just as
the bullets from gun do n man no
harm unless aimed or turned In their
course toward his body, so light Is
without effect unless II is aimed or
turned toward the retina.-Pearson's
Weekly.

OBITUARY.
william d. Sinking.

Mr.. William D. Simkins died at his
residence, No. POI Gwinnett street,
west, yesterday afternoon at 1880
o'clock after an illness of nearly a
month, although his condition had on
ly been considered dangerous during
the last few days. Death was caused
by kidney trouble and was not I'M
expected
The deceased was a prominent bus
mess man, a member of the firm of
w. D. Simkins & Co., wholesale grain
and fruit dealers, has been closely

nah during recent years, and has
twice served as a member of the

pany.
William Dannette Simkins was so
years of age, having been born at
Orange Mills, Fla, Dec. %, 1852. He
had spent the greater portion of his
life in Savannah, retaining, however,
a large interest in fruit growing in
dustries in his native state. In 1881
he married Miss Mabelle Habersham
and is survived by his widow and two
children, Mr.. Neyle Habersham Sim
kins and Miss Annie Cole Simkins,
who were at his bedside when the
end came. His daughter, who was at

CONTINUED UPBUILDING
OF NAVY is RECOMMENDED
Secretary Moody in Annual Report Stands for
Increasing Navy in All Lines.

Washington, Dec. 4.-Secretary w.
nual report to the President. In the
report the navy is characterized as
promoted in efficiency and its officers
keen and Jealous, so that, although
not large in comparison with other
navies, the navy justifies the support
of Congress and the confidence of the
country. The upbuilding of the navy
by annual appropriations for ship
building is again recommended.
In touching upon the agitation for
a better navy, Secretary Moody Eek
presses the hope" that Congress may
give it's best attention to the whole
subject of naval organization in all
lines. Three proposals for changes
have been tabulated: Alterations in
the organization of navy yards which
will increase the power and response
bility of work; the consolidation of
the bureaus in the department, and the
creation of a general staff, which shall
be responsible for the efficiency of
vessels afloat and the personnel of the
navy.
Differences of opinion are stated to
exist concerning the measure of sue
cess which has attended the consolida-
ton of the engineer corps with the
line, but the majority of opinion is
given as being that the system is
working well.
The officers and Men.
In speaking of the age of officers
commanding battleships, attention is
called to the fact that two are SO, one
is SIS, three are 81, three are Sc, and
two are So years of age. The ages of
officers who will relieve them will be
about the same Attention is called to
the recommendation of the bureau,
that some means be devised by which
officers will attain command and rank
at an earlier age than under the pres
ent system.
In regard to the citizenship of en-
listed men a gratifying increase in per-
centage is noted. The entire number
enlisted on June 80, including petty Of
ficers was 27.245. OF this number 1913
per cent. were native born and 1913
per cent. naturalized citizens. Deser-
tions have been comparatively few, put
recommendation is made that way, ana
means to reduce them be devised.
A recommendation is made that the
term of six years during which war
rant officers must serve before oelng
commissioned, be reduced to two years
In this way the younger warrant ON
GERS will be encouraged to enter the
commissioned ranks.

Washington, Dec. speaker Can
non, resenting what he deemed an in
suit from Herman ]. Schulteis, chair
man of the National Legislative Com
mittee of the Knights of Labor, sum-
marily ordered Mr.. Schulteis from the
Speakers room at the Capitol to-day
with the parting injunction to the
labor leader never to darken his door
again.
Mr.. Schulteis made his first call upon
the Speaker several days ago, with the
demand that Representative Livernash
of San Francisco be made chairman of
the Committee on Labor, and that Rep
resentative Winn of the same city be
made a member of that committee. AS
both these men are members of the
minority, Mr.. Cannon explained to Mr..
Schulteis that their committee assign
ments would depend on the recommen-
dalton of Representative Williams, the
minority floor leader but that it would
be impossible to make Mr.. Livernash
chairman of the committee, as no
chairmanships would go to the minor
ity.
When MIR. Schulteis appeared before
the Speaker to-day he announced in
what was taken by that official to be
an offensive manner that the Labor
Committee had been packed" He
renewed his demand that Mr.. Liver
nash be assigned to this committee,
announcing that he had defeated Mr..
Cannon for election to the F'ifty-second
Congress, and that unless his request
in this instance was accorded, he would
go into the Speakers district in the
next campaign.
Mr.. Schulteis did not have time to
finish telling the Speaker what he
would do to him at that time, as Mr..
Cannon at this point gave his per-
emptory order for the mans election
from the room. stating as he did so
that there was no chance of the COM
mittees being packed" by Mr.. Schulz
