Forestry Experiments In Illinois.
The government bureau Of forestry
has field force at work this season
studying the soils and kinds Of timber
best adapted 10 the states Of Illinois and
the two Dakotas, With a view TO the en-
couragement Of tree planting on more
extensive scale. In selecting two widely
separated sections Of the treeless west
for a study in artificial forestry the bu-

tree planting has been carried on TO
considerable extent In Illinois, no con-

strated that timber shelter belts not
only furnish protection against cold, but
also against droughts. Timber culture
has never received the attention II mer-

that the government is taking the lead
In a movement which is destined to play
an important part in the future develop

the government to engage In such work.

Criticism for Consuls.

Once more does the consul's brow

Now, Unexpectedly, the other cheek is

minute and detailed reports on the
methods Of preparation and shipmento Of
wines destined for American consump-

to see. The makers may feel aggrieved
at the passage Of the law Itself, but. II
it is to be enforced at all, reports from
the point Of production greatly facili-

The only possible alternative would
seem TO be the complete overhauling Of
every shipment, and analysis, with in
evitably long delays.

aGivine Awayv Stage Secrets.

Theatrical people are all supposed to
enjoy publicity concerning themselves
and their profession. but they don't all
agree as to what sort OF publicity is BEN
ehcial and what sort is otherwise. For
Instance. Sarah Cowell lie Moyne de-
clared the other day that one Of the
great crimes against the modern stage
is the ruthless exposure in the maga-
zines Of all the mechanical tricks be-
hind the scenes to produce stage effects.
Nothing" she complained, "is left TO
the imagination Of the audience. They
see the moon rise and know just how
Il is done, and there is an end OF the
charm OF illusion. IL is harder for the
players and less enjoyable for the play
