SPEED OF TORPEDO BOATS.
Depth of the Water Has Great Eff feet Upon the Power Needed
 in Operation.

The recent tests of torpedo boats in the bay of Dantzig, Germany, have resulted in the ascertainment of some facts regarding their navigation not hitherto known The particular ob- ject of these experiments was to as certain the influence of the depth of the water on the speed of the boat. It is stated that up to speed of 12 knots an appreciable influence was ob- served, but from 15 to 20 knots the unfavorable character of the infiu- ence increased in proportion to the diminution of depth. Tn shallow wa ter-about two fathoms deep-twfce as much power was required of the engines to get the speed easily ob- tainable in deep water.
 With an increase of speed, the strange fact was remarked that condi- tions unfavorable to the boats way were no longer apparent in two fath oms, but rather at depth of four or five, and better results were obtained in shallow water than in 20 fathoms Tn consequence of these observations the government naval architect, Herr Paulus. at a recent conference of ma rine engineers, proposed to petition the admiralty to allow of the experi- menkH beic- repeated with consider ably larrar warsIips.

POST OFFICE FRAUD ORDERS
How the Government Looks After Per sons Using the Mails for
 Swind1ing Purposes.

When a business concern in the Unit ed States begins suddenly to receive a large number of letters daily, 1t may be sure that, although no ripple has dis turbed the surface, quiet investigation is going on, and if there is anything dis honest about the business notice will soon appear from the postmaster, to the effect that the department at Washing ton has ordered the retention of all let ters addressed to that man or company, says Youths Companion
 The dishonesty which is held to jus tify the issuing of a fraud order may not be mere barefaced attempt to steaI- an effort to get something for nothing. The charging of an excessive profit, or misleading advertising. has called forth, such an order. A recent case in point is that of company which advertised to furnish seed for an agricultural product and to buy the product at market prices. The order against the company was is sued because it was learned that 1t sold in small quantities, for total of $500, seed which it bought in bulk for $3; and because it represented the product as easy to raise. when, in fact, it is difi-
  cult
 This fearless tNtitude and action of the government is os the greatest pos, sible benefit to the coer1s-y at large in two ways. It checks, indes6 stops abso- lutely. one kind of fraud, ard it pro- tects innocent persons from loss through that fraud. The thing on which stress should be laid is the availability of this strong arm of protection.
 There is always a large number of fraudulent schemes afioat, dependent upon the publicity which they get through advertising. When ones at tention is attracted by such an advertise ment. he has only to call the attention of the postmaster to it, and ask him to notify the department at Washington. To do this in every suspicious case is a duty which every honest man owes to bis neighbor as well as te himself

TALE OF TRUE LOVE.
PATHETIC DEVOTION OF HUs-
 BAND TO INSANE WIFE.
ls Result of Caring for Companion of His Life, Man Became Crazed Himself-Both Now in
 Asylum.

The pathetic story of a husbands tender devotion and self-denial and a mothers pride, and an instance ot destitution in one of the wealthiest counties in Kentucky that beggars de- scription. were brought to light at Versailles, Ky, during the trial for lunacy of William o. Shock and his wife, Mary Ellen Shock Both were declared unsound in mind, and they were taken to the Eastern insane asy- lum in Lexington. Shock is 60 years old and his wife about 45.
 Fifty years ago Mrs. Ellen Johnson, now 80 years old, the mother of Mrs. Shock and a grandniece of the famous pioneer. Simon Kenton, married An drew Johnson, wealthy farmer and slave holder. Johnson died after the war, leaving his widow, daughter and son 500 acres of land and valuable personal property. Mrs. Johnson was in court and told how from one cause and another their fortune had been dissipated
 Fifteen years ago William Shock, of Philadelphia, came into Woodword county travelling for Philadelphia publishing house. He met pretty Mary Ellen Johnson and married her. Soon afterward his young wife became hopelessly insane. Unwilling to be separated from her by having his wife placed in sanitarium, Shock under took to care for her at home Mrs Shocks mother was getting old, and he being tEe only person who could control his wife. Shock was forced to give up work and remain with her constantly day and night Through i12 or IA long years he has been the constant companion and guardian of a mad wife, shut away from the world in a little house near the Kentucky river below Millville.

THE FALLING TREES ].
OUR FORESTS BEING DEvAsTAT-
 ED BY VARIOUS MEANS.
Grazing Animals Find Many Ways to Kill the Timber-Insects and Other Causes Always
 at Work.

One of the most frequent causes of forest fires is the grazing of animals on forest land. To improve the graz ing, the owners of focks and herds often fire the grass or other fodder plants, sometimes with the intention of destroying the forest itself and thus increasing the area of the pasturage, but more often to improve temporarily the quality of the feed. The majority of these fires do not kill the old trees, but, by destroying the seeds and the young trees, they do great injury to the forest, and finally to the fodder plants themselves. And to understand the enormous amount of damage wrought by this one cause, we must remember that vast areas are burned over every year, in nearly all parts of the United States where trees grow, and it is fact we'll known to foresters that hum dreds of thousands of acres in the west, where sheep are in the habit of graz ing, would be covered by forests to- day, if it were not for the repeated burnings to which the ground has been subjected.
 In forests where grazing is permitted much damage is often done by tramp ling. Heavy animals, like horses and cattle, pack the soil with their hoofs, and destroy the rootlets of small trees, but these animals. having big, broad feet, do comparatively little harm Sheep, on the other hand, are very harmful, particularly where the soil is loose, and upon steep slopes. Their hoofs, being small and sharp, they cut into the soil and powder it up, at the some time breaking and cutting the young growth to such an extent that 1ourishing young forests are often completely destroyed. Nor does the danger of trampling stop with the de- struction of the forest itself. We should take warning by the disasters which followed the grazing of sheep in the Alps of southern France. There, first of all, the forests were destroyed. Then followed the grass which had replaced the forests, and the soil was then left fully exposed to the rains. The result was succession of floods, and the

winter they and the mother who has been with them were reduced to suf- fering and almost starvation. The ketde of the aged mother, who remem- bered her former prominent position in life when every wish she breathed was obeyed as a command refused even when starving to let their con- ,dition be known. Finally the inces- sant strain affected Shocks mind, and he began to wander about the cliffs.
 His strange, haggard appearance att Efacted the attention of everyone and caused an investigation to be made, which revealed that Shock and his wife and mother-in-1aw were living in frightful squalor in a house only par tially roofed and without windows. Part of the roof had been torn away by them at different times during the win ter to be used as firewood when they were all but freezing. Mrs. Shock was in bed with no clothing. and both AShock and Mrs Johnson were scanti-

force of the water carried down enor- nous quantities of stones, and spread them over what had been fertile fields, depopulating many prosperous valleys. The cost to the French people has al- ready run into tens of millions of dol- lars, and the end is not yet. The loss is out of all proportion, to any gain which may have been derived from the mountain pastures, and even the sheep owners themselves are losers in the end, as the sheep industry in that region has been utterly ruined
 Then the grazing animals do fur ther harm by browsing on the young growth, and on the tender shoots and branches of the larger trees, often making them unsightly or unsound.
 Insects are always at work in the forest, and sometimes their ravages re- suit in serious loss. During the last 20 years the larva of a saw-fy has been eating the foliage of the larch trees in the Adirondacks to such an effect that nearly every fullgrown tree of this spe- cies has been killed in that region. The work of the elm beetle, the gypsy moth and many other insects is too we'll known to require comment.
 Many other enemies have the trees. amongst them being the fungli, which are ever ready to attack fresh wound of any kind. Their ravages may often be prevented by dab of paint or tar, which will exclude the air and the spores with which it is laden. The wind sweeps through the forest, some times doing good by removing the old and dying trees, and sometimes doing harm by throwing down those which have not yet reached maturity. The influence of snow, also, is two-fold It does great good by protecting the soil and the young trees, and it often does great harm by bending and breaking, and crushing out of shape, many tall young members of the forest
 Of course, our forests should be pro- tected, for the best of business reasons, but tl.ere are trees In this country which are entitled to our consideration and protection, not so much on account of their money value, but because they are among the wonders of the world Of course, I refer to the big trees of California, many of which seemed to be doomed unless the United States government takes immediate steps to preserve them These trees are unique and of worldwide fame. They tower 400 feet above the ground, and the age of some of them Is said to be 10000 years. ERNEST HAROLD BAYNEs.
