FORESTRY IN CALIFORNIA.

The subject of forest propagation
and protection has been long neglected
in the United States. In no part of
that country has there been more
wanton disregard of the forests and
their care than in California But a
change has taken place. A society for
forest protection has been formed. call
ed the "Sempervirens Club
This club has worked to such good
effect that it has secured an aDDro-
priation from the state legislature of
ESQ 900 with which the state has pur-
chased an immense area Of magnificent
forest, including many of the giant
redwoods.
The San Francisco Newsletter, COM
rnenting upon this action. says: The
protection and perpetuation of our for
ests are vital questions. and it is with
satisfaction that we note that public
interest in forestry is growing apace.
.-The sempervirens Club OF Califor-
MIA pledges itself to devote its energies
to the preserving of the groves of
sequoIa semperyirens and sequoia
cigantea, to the development of the
recently acquired Redwood Forest
and to promote the general interests of
scientific forestry in California
~An success to these .nature-loving
men and women. to whom future gem

The bin now pending before the Leg
islature providing for a forestry board

does, should make it a point to see

SEA LION FISHING IS EXCITING SPORT.

Business Catching Specimens Is Hazardous But Pays Well
Creatures Are Shy and Cunning,

A considerable business is done on
the Pacific coast and on the islands
adjacent In the catching OF sea lions.
The creatures are in great demand for
menageries and good specimens com
mand high prices all tho year round.
American fishermen are noted the
world around for their daring, and
the whaling and sword-hshing off the
United States coast have furnished
material for many thrilling narratives.
But fishing for sea lions-if It can be
called hshing-is no less daring than
the forms of fishing mentioned. and
more remarkable because IL is unique.
The FISHING" of sea lions is chiefly
done OF the many islands that lie
near The California coast of Santa

plentiful there. and while they have

THE LAWS AGAINST KISSING.
Anti-oseulatlng Statutes Are Net :
New Idea.

The proposed American statute for
abolition of kissing and a fine of s.
for each indulgence in unhygienic os-
culation is not new. The old Puritan
blue laws of Massachusetts, forbade
the exchange OF kisses in public as a
breach of good behavior. This law
has never been repealed, and not very
long ago there was much amusement
and some indignation in Boston at the
arrest of a prominent citizen for kiss
ing his wife on the street Milan has
similar ordinance against kissing or
other amatory demonstrations in pub
lie places. 1t dates from the time of
the Sforzas. and only short time ago
n pair of perfectly respectable lovers
were hailed before magistrate for
kissing each other in the park. He
ruled that though kiss under such
circumstances was not immoral. 1t
