Talk of a Trip to Washington to Be
Made in Spring of Next
Year.

LONDON. July 23.-King Edward hav-
ing paid successful visits TO Portugal
Italy. France. and Germany has, his
court encourage say. caught the habit,
and desires IN a few months to go
travelling again.
He has wished to visit the Gar. but
this is impraCticable so long as the war
continues. There remains only the
United States.
Personally the King is eager to cross
the Atlantic. and has discussed the
project among MS nearest advisers. The
greatest difficulty would arise in points
of etiquette in connection with his re-
ception. As these were surmounted in
republican Paris. It is thought they
would give no trouble in Washington.
As Prince of Wales. the King was in
Washington October 3, 1860 Recently he

Goats are proving a destructive
agency to Hawaiian forests according
TO bulletin just issued by the Depart
ment of Agriculture. After giving an
exhaustive stedy Of the particular
kind Of trees growing on the Hawaiian
islands, the bulletin recites the fact
that there has been steady decadence
in the forests there for the past hun
dred years In explanation the report
says that fires could not be mainly -e-
sponsible for this decline since rainfails
are constant and CONGREGATIONS are rare.
Goats, cattle. and stock are therefore
put down as the most destructive agents.
The character of the Hawaiian for
est makes il peculiarly susceptible to
injury by cattle" says the report "The
tender, succulent underground Is easily
trampled down, and much Of it, especial
~ ie-ie. banana. and some of the ferris
are excellent food for stock Yet this
underground Is vital part Of the Tor
est; without It the ground dries quick
~. and the shallow rooted trees soon
die.
Goats Most Destructive.
"GOatswe introduced into the islands
many years ago. They are found on all
the important islands Their work.
though localized, is more thoroughly de-
structive than the work Of cattle.

The Forests of HaWaI|
They Climb Ridges and PreCipitous t1ilIsides
and Denude Them of Tropical Trees
Necessary to Preserve Water Supply

Ridges where they rendezvous may be
distinguished for miles by their utter
barrenness and erroded condition. Goats
are especially hard on precipitous slopes.
They will lay completely bare places so
steep as to be stunned altogether by
cattle.
Under the caption. The Crucial
Question on the Island OF Hawaii. the
report then goes on to sound warning
against the proposed plan OF clearing
out still more of the forests on the
ground that the results will be disas-
trous 10 the vast sugar plantations by
running their water supply and decreaS-
ing the rainfall. This portion follows:
Forests Not Valuable.
1T cannot be asserted that the native
forests have great commercial value for
the reason that the trees which com
pose them are not. for the most part
commercially valuable. But for pro-
tecting the mountain slopes and for
gathering and distributing "A useful sup
lily of water they have value which

cane fields, IN many cases over steep.
even precipitous slopes, receive from
20 to 200 or more inches of rainfall
year. and possess 50 great a retentive
power that they distribute very evenly
this tremendous quantity of water"
In conclusion II is suggested that the
Territorial government make still fur
Their efforts to increase the forestry
protection Of the island.

Wilson Barrett, the actor, was a
theatrical politician. His fingers

VENTILATION THROUGH WALLS.

The fact is that considerable ventiIa-

a large exchange OF fresh for bad air
Is effected through the walls OF build

to live In by removing the solid paper
or impervious coat of paint from the
wall and substituting porous paper, or
better still, giving up paper altogether
