THE PROBLEM IN AFRICA

n k. CHAMBERLAIN is said to have been cor
INl daily welcomed in South Africa by both
Britons and Beers. He has been ban
quoted at Pretoria and the occasion was made notable
by the appearance of many OF the most stawar of the
Boer leaders and by the evident Willingness on both
sides to forget the quarres OF the past and work to-
gether for the future good OF the country Mr.
Chamberlain on his Part is reported to be displaying
high degree OF tact and skillfu diplomacy so the
British sanguine that after all they are going to
daylight at last through the South African gloom
In the meantime, however, the progress OF de-
veoping the conquered territory is going forward
either so rapidly or so. economically expected
1t was very easy to talk OF constructing railways
the country to open it up for settlement and
commerce, but the task has proven to be far more
formidable than was supposed. The original esti-
mates OF the lines in process OF construction
have been greatly exceeded and the prospects that
the exploitation of the region is going to be almost
costly as the war to obtain it.
Just before the adjournment of Parliament the
Ministry had to ask for grant OF about $3ooo.ooo
for the purpose OF prosecuting the work on the
Uganda railway In presenting the question it was
explained that the cost of labor has been far greater
than was anticipated and that the engineering
problems are hard TO overcome Moreover, the cost
OF materials has been much larger than was expected
The line is to be about 600 miles long and the cost
is now estimated at $4,000 mile, but the Ministers
refused to state that it could be completed that
sum and ntimated that they might have to ask fur
ther grants from Parliament
Upon that showing it is clear the British have
not made very rich conquest Without railways
South Africa can never be firmly secured to the en-
plrs, and railway building is going TO be expensive
Mr.. Chamberlain is doubtless enjoying his visit and

Beers; but all the banquets in the world are not
going to open up the country It takes money to
carry out such enterprises and the British taxpayer

OUR TIMBER SUPPLY.

T the recent meeting of the American Associa
II ton for the Advancement of Science Profes-
sor Fernow, director of the college OF for
estry at Cornell University reviewed the statistics Of
wood consumption in this country and pointed out
that the time when shall reach something like
timber famine is not far distant unless immediate
steps be taken to provide for renewing and con-
tnuing the supply There is Of course nothing novel
in that statement, for it has been made over and
again by competent authorities, but until the
Federal and the State governments are reused to
action the ubject it cannot be too often repeated
One feature of the statistics cited by Mr. Fernow
is worth noting. There has been belief that be-
cause of the increased use Of coal and oil in place
of wood fuel and of iron and steel for constructive
purposes where wood was formerly used, the con-
sumption of who'd has been proportionatey
diminished. That belief is erroneous. Statistics
show that in spite of the substitution of other mate
rials in place OF wood for many purposes the
sumption of wood has increased rapidly among all
civilized nations. The consumption, he says, has
increased constantly during the last forty and
greatly in excess of the increase Of population.
The annual consumption Of wood in this country is
now about 25,oooooo,ooo cubic feet annually, of
which over 7ooo,ooo,ooo is log size material"
Referring to the sources OF supply for this rapidly
increasing consumption Mr.. Fernow says: "An es-
innate OF the present stand Of virgin timber in the
United States, ready to supply the demand for um-
Der, although admittedly slender basis, brings out
the improbabiy, if not mpossbility, of meeting the
increasing demand for another thirty years under
present methods of utilization Even if the entire
forest area OF 5oooooooo acres were supposedly fully
stocked with the average stand per acre. reported
by the census in the holdings OF lumbermen-an alb
surd proposition-the stock on hand would be ex-
hausted within that period
statement of that kind coming from frst-class
authority and based upon carefully compiled stats-
tics ought to be sufficient impress legislators with
a sense of the importance of beginning at once to
preserve our remaining forests California at least
should not delay longer in adopting and enforcing
scientific and comprehensive system Of forestry 1t
will be none too early now In short time it will
be too late and shall have to pay big price for
replanting the wasted woodlands

RAILROAD BUILDING.

~ PRELIMINARY estimates made bv various
authorities are said to lead to the conclusion
that during the past year there were con-
sructed in the United States upward OF 6o26 miles of
steam railway. The figures do include second
tracks, sidings nor any electric railways Rebuilt
mileage is also excluded except where the work in
voved such extensive changes virtually amount
10 a new alignment OF route
Railroad building was carried on to a greater or
less extent in almost every State and every Terri
tory. Oklahoma headed the list last year with go
miles OF new line and Texas was second with 400
miles Arkansas, Indian Territory and Georgia laid
each more than 800 miles OF new track while fifteen
other States including California are credited with
Along with the construction of additional RAILWAYS
there was vast business done in the way of ncreas
ing railway equipments. Something like 1645z4 cars
were built in shops other than railroad shops The
hgures do not include cars built for street railroads
report says: "Of the cars recorded approximately
I625o0 for freight service and Io4S for passenger
service I6I747 for domestic use and $500 are for
export Last the total number OF cars built was
I44e67, which exceeded by 2o,I6I the recorded out
put foNthe year 1900 The 1901 figures included also
se62 srfcet During the year 1910 locomotives
were built in the various locomotive plants in the
country, as against 1884 last year"
The prospects for the present year are bright 1t is
announced that the Pennsylvania Railroad will under

terminal facilities in New York The Baltimore and
Ohio will engage in improvements and extensions
estimated to cost not less than $3ooooooo The New
York Central is to expend $25,oooooo on improve
ments The Southern Pacific Company is put down
for expenditures amounting to $4ooooooo during the
year. The Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe will ex-
pend $2o,ooo,ooo in extensions and improvements
Such are some of the estimates made in New York
of the probable railway work OF the year. The lesser
lines OF the country will also make considerable ex-
pendtures, that the aggregate will be much larger
than is given in the above estimates. In short there
appears every to believe that the total railway
work Of the will exceed the big figures of
1902.

An Unique Fire Alarm.

Franklin unquestionably has the
most perfect FIRE alarm system that
has yet been devised. It's simplicity is
only excelled by Its convenience. 1t
can be turned in on a moment, In
the twinkling Of an eye, without
having to run to any designated point
TO truchs button. The device, 80.
stated. is very simple and can be
carried in the pocket of a man q
trousers The only imperfection
about it Is that 1t does not locate the
fire. Judging FROM the number Of
alarms generally turned in when a
fire breaks out, nearly all the men
and boys about town carry the in
strument with them that no time be
lost in sounding the warning. The
instrument usually makes five or six
loud explosions, according to capacity,
and is sonnet mes called a pistol. -
