SAVING THE sKYscRAPERs.
Fire Rules for the Protection of High
Buildings.

President Perez NJ. Stewart, of the
committee of examiners of property
adjoining "the Brooklyn Manhattan
Rapid Transit railroad" and ex-Super-
intendent of the Manhattan depart
ment of buildings, read by invitation
before the Chattanooga convention of
the International Association of Fire
Engineers, a paper upon the The Fire
Resistance of Modern High Buildings,
in which he sets forth with much
force and detail the results of many
years study of the construction and
destruction of this late but most I'M
portant feature in municipal real es-
tate. Mr.. Stewart holds that practi-
cally every fire hazard is amenable to
a remedy at once curative and good
business investment, and that when q
successful corporation sustains a fire
loss which might have been avoided
by foresight, it is, prima facie, bad fin
ancing. He believes that voluntary
self-protection, for only little can be
done by Law, will materially rednce

BETWEEN UNITED STATES
AND CUBA RELATIVE TO THE
ISLE OF PINES.
So Determined Wa Opposition to Its
Ratification That II Was Thought
Best to Let Treaty Die and Let
People Come to Accept Govern
ment from Cuba.

Washington, Feb. 25.-The treaty be-
tween the United States and Cuba
relative to the Isle of Pines expired by
its own terms during the past week.
The treaty fell of its own weight. and
under the provision included in its
text hat the final notifications should
be exchanged six months after the
date of its negotiation or the treaty
would lapse. 1t would have been a
comparatively easy matter for the I'm
tied States to have negotiated a pro-
tocol which would have extended the
terms OF the convention as far as de-
sired. but there was SO much opposi-
ton to the treaty that it was deemed
undesirable to take up the question
further. mate Bacon, a democrat,
was given the convention by Senator
Cullom, chairman of the foreign rela-
lions committee of the senate. be-
cause neither the administration nor
the majority senator's felt that the
treaty was in any way a party matter.

Penrose, a republican senator, who
acted at the i%nstigation of P%ittsburg
people, who had made heavy invest
ments in the Isle OF Pines and wanted
to make the place their home in the
winter. So determined was this p p
sition that it was thought to be best
to let the treaty die and to wait the
time until the residents of the island
became so dissatisfied with no govern
ment at all, the condition which they
are now in, that they would readily &C
cept a government from Cuba. There
is no thought of retaining the island by
the United States. as its relinquish-
ment to Cuba was a part of the con
sideration in securing coaling stations
there.

CONSERVATION OF WATER.

In its issue of Feb. 20 The Republi-
can published a portion of an interview
with Mr.. A. j. Parshall, from the Sar-
atoga Sun, in relation to the decreased
maximum flow in the North Platte riy-
er. Mr.. Parshall tool the ground that
the depletion was caused by the fact
that several townships had beer burn
ed over by fire. In the article it was
stated that many people hold TO the
view that forests do not conserve water
and stated that State Engineer John
ston was of that opinion. The Repub-
lican also said hat until Mr.. Parshall's
apparent proof could be refuted it
would be accepted as true. We are
low in receipt of the following strong
argument from the state engineer:
Cheyenne, Wyo.. Feb. "a. 1904.
Editor Laramie Republican.
Deal Sir:-Your editorial of yester-
day relating to the theory of forest
protection to the water supply has
been carefully read, and | believe that
you do not rightly interpret the cordi-
tons on the headwaters of the North
Platte. The foresters have a theory
that forests hold the water until the
late summer months, not that forests
increase the precipitation or a any
effect on ain or snowfall. So general
been deemed necessary. | have IL
deavored to secure PROOF and have SO
far failed, The example you cite, the
destruction of timber on the headwa,
tiers of the Platte, is the reverse Of
proof. as far as the above theory is
concerned. Admitting that forests dc
not increase the precipitation, you
must admit that, should they be de
stroyed, the water would run ava in
great floods. if o hold to the theory
What are the facts? The timber has
been destroyed by fire and the high
water discharge of the Platte has been
lower than ever before. This would
mean that less escapes during floods
providing the snowfall has been nor.
nal. and that more flows down the
stream during the later months Of the
year.
The snowfall for last year was above
the normal.
| am open to conviction as to the
benefit of forests in conserving the
water supply, but the burden of proof
it seems to me, is now on the other
side. | hope that the investigation will
be carried further, as this is a ques
ton that should be settled, and | am
willing to do what | can towards its
solution, if a solution is possible.

They called him mad. and why?
Because he hated ant and greed:
Because forsooth it made him sigh
To hear the hungry children plead
For rest from slavery; because
He rallied against the custom which
Gave lawyers freedom to the rich
And hedged the rest about with laws,
Because he CHANGED to find
That Joy was not in heaps of gold;
Because he dared to leave behind
The selfish wish to have and hold ;
Because he would not CROOK the knee
Before the golden calf mol wear
The yoke of greed, he had to bear
The hatred brand of lunacy.
They said that he was mad
Because oppression gave MIN pain;
Because lie gave up all he had
And called it wrong to kill for gain;
Because he loved the birds and smiled
To see them making love in May
And from the wise could turn away
To hear the prattle of a child.
