ANCHORING A SAND DUNE.

Worthless Lands Along the Sea Coast
Being Reclaimed.
So much attention has been directed
TO the work that is being done In re-
claiming the arid and semi-arid lands
of the West that the reclamation work
along the Atlantic coast Is almost en-
tirely overlooked, says the Philadelphia

Cod to Cape Fear, while perhaps ar

cultivated lands and are useless In
themselves.
Massachusetts. at considerable ex-
pense has been endea yoring TO re-
claim the sand dunes that form so
large portion of the province lands
on Cape Cod. 1t has been found that
sand Is readily bound together by grass
roots, and that If sturdy varieties OF
grass suitable for sandy soils are plant
ed and cared for while obtaining a
foothold and maturing, they will grad
ually cover large areas, transforming
them from shifting, worthless lands In
to fertile fields. Many years of for
estry work In Europe has shown that
after the grasses have made start
trees can be successfully raised on
these erstwhlle sand piles, which may
thus be made to yield revenue.
Some Of the most extensive and
mobile sand dunes In the United
States, however, are found In the
West, and 1t is the ambition of the Blu
reau of Forestry to cover these with
permanent forest growths. Along the
Columbia river, in Washington, the
sand is very light In character, owing
to the large proportion Of mica 1t con
tains, and consequently Is easily blown
about by the winds. In a portion Of
the lower Columbia river valley great
orchards have been actually ingulfed
with the shifting sands, and the rail-
roads have experienced great diff
Guilty in maintaining their tracks In
this district In passable condition. In
order to make practical test as to
the best method of treating these
dunes, a strip of land on the Columbia
river between Willow creek and the
John Day river has been set aside by
the government for extensive expert
ments based on the work done by Mas
sachusetts, referred to above. In the
East tree-planting plans for owners OF
sandy tracts are being prepared, thus
extending the scope of the practical CO
operation begun by the Bureau OF For
estry.

EXPENSES OF A PRINCE.
What 1t Costs Britain's Royal Heir to
Live.

Live.
The popular idea about a royal
prince Is that he is an exalted person
age. with a magnificent income, says
Hour Glass. There is. however, an
other aspect of the case, concerning
which many people are in ignorance,
namely, the enormous expenditure in
varlably connected with princely es-
tablishment. The following authentic
details as to what 1t costs the Prince
OF Wales to live may, therefore, prove
instructive to the general reader. | Is
not generally known that there are
about eighty servants employed In the
princes household. ard the wages of
these people aggregate not less than
$40 a week Out of this sum the
royal chef receives 600 year, the
butler a similar amount, and two of
the stewards f1b0 apiece, In addition
to special perquisites. Then there is
the cost of provisions. electric light
ing and other domestic expenses which
involve a further outlay Of at least
$500 year 1t Is also essential that
his royal hlghness should keep good
stable. and the maintenance OF thirty
horses, carriages, grooms, coachmen
and other attendants will readily ne
count for another 1900 Of his income
During the London season, also, the
kings eldest son Is naturally expected
to give certain number of house par
ties, and 1t need scarcely be said that
these entertainments must be in every
way consistent with the regal position
of the distinguished host In addition
to these parties. the present prince,
like his father, gives several royal
balls every year, the total cost of
which means a further serious inroad
In his income. Again, It is only reason
able to expect that his royal highness
viii be one of the best dressed gen
tlemen In the kingdom, and this de-
by judicious expenditure. For exam
pie. 1t may be stated that the Prince
of Wales generally dons new suit
of clothes twice month and new
silk hat about the same period. He
never wears pair of boots more than
half dozen times, and these are of
superfine quality. ut guineas the pair
He rarely uses pair Of gloves for
more than one occasion, and his hosiery
and other clothing are sufficiently YER
satile and multitudinous In character
TO start man In business. In all prob
ability fl, 500 a year would barely
cover the prlncely expenses for cloth
ing. But even this estimate does not
meet the cost of those naval and milf
tary uniforms which the prince has to
purchase In order to appear IN his va
rious official capacities in connection
with the British army and navy, and
for these splendid garments, some of
which cost 600 each, at least another
$500 year must be added to the ex-
pendlture.
Another important item OF expendi-
ture is that represented by gratuities
to servants when the prince and prin-
cess become the temporary guests of
other royal families, either at home or
a broad. Take. for example. visit
to the Gear of all the Russias, which,
apart from travelling expenses, would
mean at least 200 In royal tips among
the countless servants OF the Musco-
yite monarch. Ii Is not matter of
