ions Of Congress

Al The close Of the last session Mr.
Clifford Pinchot, chief Of the bureau Of
forestry. in a brief speech impressed
upon the congress these three points:
"The bulk Of the forests Of the
United States are now. and must al
ways remain, In the hands Of the
private owner: only as the pri
vate owner, large or small. the
lumberman, the railroad, the miner,
or the mar who owns the land be-
comes interested In forestry and
carries out It's true principles. shall
We succeed In practicing forestry In
the United States. =. :.
Second. the forests now In govern.
ment control must remain in govern
e control just SO far as they are
needed for public purposes, We must
have forest reserves, and we shall
be forced to extend the area OF forest
reserves later on. not merely by presi.
dental proclamation, but by pur-
chase. Lands are passing out OF the
governments hands every day whose
return 10 its ownership Is absolutely
essential to the w%ell-being Of the
regions where they lie.
Third, we must begin at once the
creation of a national forest service in
the United States. We are the only
II of the great nations whose forest
work is In so chaotic a condition. Our
task Is to create a clean effective body
of men for handling these great for
est questions, and in general to take
up, just so far as the state ~organiza-
tons are unable TO lake IL up, but
always in cooperation with them
the care of the general progress OF
forestry throughout the United States
for more and more | hope to see the
bureau Of forestry act as q helper and
assistant not only Il the commercial
interests, which is our first duty In
the matter, but to all interests affect
ed by the forest. ] should like to HAYS
every member of this congress &c

forestry is the servant of every one
of you, and will give you its help tc

THE SKIN OF A FROG.
It Is Most Delicate and Wonderful
Breathing Machine in Addition
to Ordinary Breathing.

The frogs skin is a breathing ma
chine. The supply of air is necessary
addition to that taken in by ordinary
breathing. The skin is most remark
able for its powerful absorption OF
water, due to the numberless minute
pores. He can soak up half his weight
OF water in an hour.
AS the skin perspires quite as freely
as it absorbs, we can comprehend why
contact with moisture is necessary.
Bsides the loss from evaporation thera
is the stopping Of skin breathing also,
because The skin must he kept moi<t and
soft to absorb fresh air and give Of used
air from the system. You have Noticed
the cold. clammy feeling of the skin OF
the frog when you have handled him,
says the Cincinnati Commercial Trib-

II you put redhot iron on a frogs

OF the cold water in his skin, which the
neat turns into vapor, escaping under
the iron; but If hot water be dropped
upon him he wifi instantly jump from

This moisture is 4 safeguard against

ELEVATION AND CLIMATE.
All Are Familiar with Relation Of One
to the Other-Facts and
Figures.

Everybody is familiar with the fact
that elevation affects the climate. In
California snow-capped mountains are
numerous in summer, while in the
plains below snow seldom falls in the
coolest weather of winter. But how
many readers can tell at what rate ele-
walton produces change of tempera-
ture? In Diapers great work of .'The
Intellectual Development OF Europe
Vol. l, page %, referring to the general
elevation of Europe since the tertiary
period of more than 1000 feet, he re-
marks that IAN elevation of $50 feet is
equal to one degree Of cold in the mean
annual temperature, or: to 60 inches on
the surface northward." At this rate
the top OF mountain Is 200 feet high

the general elevation 1T the base; and
so when the thermometer shows tenn

going. In the diagram shown herewith
the high key is represented by a YER
tical dash and the low key by hori-
zontal dash, the diagram being read in
the direction of the arrows.
If the ship is going north it gives
low, high, and a low whistle; if it Is
going -west-northwest it gives three
high whistles and one low or deep whis-
tie. 1t is seen at glance that all the
signals from north to south by way Of
the east begin with a deep or coarse
whistle, and all those from the north TO
the south by way of the west begin with
a high or keen whistle. This arrange
ment permits one to tell the principal
direction of the vessel by the first sound
that strikes the ear.
"The instrument proper consists of 4
box containing cogged drum which,
somewhat after the manner of the keys
in a wind instrument. determines
whether the sound be high or low. A
retarder, controlled by crank, causes
the rotation of the drum, so that two
sounds cannot be blended or confused.
The crank turns once every second.
In sailing vessels the signals are
produced by bells.''

SHALLOW FRAMES ARE BEST
Decision Is Reached in. Much Dis,
cussed subject-Explanation
and Reasons

Foremost in agricultural discussions of
to-day is the subject of frames and their
proper depth for best results in the pro-
duction Of honey, says the Midland Far
mer. All intelligent bee-keepers are
aware Of the fact that bees are naturally
averse to travelling over honey tn the
brood-chamber to store in the sections.
None deny this. It is equally true that,
unless the brood-chamber is greatly
contracted at the time the surplus recep-
tacles are on, there will be considerable
strip Of honey along the top of each,
frame-if that be deeper than the LanEs-,
troth. On the other hand, il the brood.
chamber be contracted, by taking away
q number Of the outside frames, it will
be left narrower than the super AS the
brood-nest must extend out under all
the sections, to insure degree of uni
formity in the completion of these, it is
not difacult for even the casual observer
to see that there is a serious faultcon-
nected with this sort of contraction.
With the foregoing facts before us, we
can readily see that deep frame cannot
give near the amount of section honey
as will shallow one, and the causes are
unavoidable.

THE INSTINCT OF ANIMALS
It Is Claimed They Can Really Fore
20 cast the Quality Of an Ap-
preaching Winter.

Whether animals5know in the fall that
the weather is to be cold or mild durin;
the winter and proportion their houses
and their coats to the respective conQi-
tons is being discussed with some heat
IN Ole OF the leading New York papers,
says the Baltimore American. The lat
ter attempted to dismiss the matter as
folklore, but those who believe in the
instinct of animals come back with
what they regard as facts to justify their
belief. Whether it be tradition or su-
perstition or self-deception, it has been
claimed for centuries that all fur-bear-
Ing animals have a heavier coat i'll the
fall preceding a severe winter than lust
previous to mild winter. This does NOT
necessarily imply any knowledge of the
approaching winter. It is possible
that animals may have some mysterious
way OF forecasting the winter, but even
then they would also have to know how
to thicken their fur if the so-called phe-
nomenon is to Ae considered the result
Of intelligence.
II the fact be admitted-and an i'm
mense majority Of woodsmen and hunt
ers vouch for tit Is more reasonab 20
look upon it as provision of nature over
which the animals have no control, such
as the bountiful supply of nuts and other
significant changes in the forests. That
these things do occur on the eve OF Sc
we're winter has been vouched for by
great number of people, but they have
not stated that such things have not oc-
Cured at any other time; while, as q
fact, they have occurred on the eve of
mild winters which must be set down as
one OF natures mistakes. There may
have been reason to expect cold winter,
but something happened to switch it oil.
The differences in the habitations of
beavers and muskrats and other fur ami
mails on the approach Of cold winters, il
1t bg true, may be attributed to instinct.
How they derive the intelligence is no
more explicable than how animals man.
age to avoid poisonous herbs and plants.
when man eats them and dies. But the
important question is the same as in the
former case. How often are the animals
deceived, how often are their extra prep
arations useless and all for naught? The
public is very apt to learn when the
Instinct is correct. for instinct is not in
fallible by any means, and such confir-
n;ations increases vogue and signi1-
|c1nce'o these weather signs, buts6me-
low the failures are rarely recorded.
1t may, therefore, be accepted that when
= cold winter follows these extra pre-
cautions of the animals, the latter have
correctly soreshadowed that particular
winter.
