The Virginia pine. commonly known

success and several mills, in Pennsyl-

One Pennsylvania mill consumes in
this way 10000 cords year.

Since it is a tree which thrives on

itself with great ease, its entrance into

very interesting problem in forest

study Of the scrub pine, which will
seek to develop the possibilities of the
tree from a commercial standpoint.

British Railroad Statistics.

A recent report shows that in the
year 1904 only six passengers were
killed by accidents on railways in the
United Kingdom, and that 534 were
injured From statistics kept for the
past thirty years, ending with 1903, It
seems that an average of one passen-
ger was killed in every 35,053,064
journeys and one injured in every
1,100,527 journeys. Out of a total Of
71,007 railway employees, seven were
killed and ia injured during 1904.
The average for the preceding thirty
years was fourteen and 1877, respect

extraordinary improvement, for the
number of railway employees was
greater in 1904 than the average mum

WORTHY OBJECT FOR A BOOM"

Bring Back the Bicycle.
A western organization of wheelmen
is hard at work with the highly laud-
able aim Of starting another boom for
the bicycle. It is an exceedingly diff
ficult matter to create a boom by
purely artificial methods, but we sin
cerely hope that this effort will sue
coed. The bicycle boom is boom
which deserves to be doomed. Call it
whatever you Ikea craze or a fad
the popular interest and enthusiasm
for the wheel which swept over the
country a few years ago was one Of
the aappiest and healthiest "crazes"
that ever struck the American people,
or any other people, and it cannot
come again too soon or stay too long.
How much those years Of bicycle
activity added to the sum total Of in
nocent human enjoyment, human VII
tality and energy, 1t would be impos-
sible to estimate; but we venture the
statement, without fear Of contradic-
tion, that no other modern conrivance
of human devising has contributed so

"Albers replied that he had no con.

law; that he paid the government in

He furthermore said that the first
man who tried to enter his door would
be shot, but that he would permit the
leader to inspect the tobacco in order
that his assertions might be proved.
This was done and no contraband to-
