The first passenger car ever con-
structed for a street railway was used
in New York city in the third decade
of the last century. This car was
drawn by horses over strap rails laid
on stone ties. improvements introdue-
ed during the next 40 years were prin-
cipany in details, but the introduction
of the cable system in 1873 was a de-
cided advance in motive pewer- At the
present time, however, the use Of the
cable car is confined almost exclusively
TO the cities of Chicago. San Francisco,
and Kansas City, while the trolley.
which was not used to any great ex-
tent prior to 1885, has practically super
seeded all other systems. In several in
stances even the steam railways have
introduced electric motive power on
their lines. In view of the movement to
abolish overhead wires in the large
cities. the success of the open conduit
system, which has been introduced in
the more populous parts of New York
and washington. is worthy of note. In
1909 the number of miles operated by
this system in these cities was 264.

The agents of the bureau Of forestry
detailed to investigate planted groves
and natural timber in the eastern half
of the two Dakotas and the western
third Of Minnesota have completed their
field work. The results of their inves-
LEGATIONS viii be embodied in a report
which will be published as soon as the
data collected can be tabulated and def
mite conclusions drawn Throughout
the region Investigated a good deal of
tree planting has been done to meet
the requirements of the timber culture
act or for protective purposes. Local
benefits have been gained by this
planting, and a study of the results
gives a good basis for suggestions look
ing towards still better results in the
future The species most generally
tried are those which grow naturally in
the river bottoms of the region, togeth-
er with some which have been intro
duced from Europe. They are cotton
wood, boxelder. green ash, silver maple,
white willow. and white elm. These trees
have some admirable qualities, but are
IN some respects unsuited to the region.
The ideal tree for planting on the prai-
RE is one which is able to resist ex-
tremes of drought and temperature, is
free from insect enemies, makes a rap
I'd growth. and is at the same time val
liable for both protective and CONNER
cial uses. Some Of the conifers or ev-
ergreens have these characteristics in a
high degree. and enough planting of
certain species of pine, spruce, and
larch has been done to prove their SUI
periority. For future planting in this
section the bureau viii probably recon-
mend the substitution to large extent
of cone bearing trees for some of the
species which have been in common
use. In the past the timber value Of
trees was a secondary consideration.
Trees were planted for their protective
value and for ornament. But by pro-
per choice Of trees a direct profit can
also be reaped. A species which meets
commercial requirements Will, in most
cases, answer all other demands. This
additional commercial benefit in tree
planting the bureau will emphasize in
its forthcoming report.

An interesting investigation now
being made carried on in Florida by
the Bureau OF Fisheries has for It's
object the discovery and development
OF methods by which the valuable
sheepswool sponge may be cultivated
artiticially.
The method which promises the
most satisfactory results, says DR..
Everman in The National Geographic
Magazine, is that Of using cuttings
Large sheepswool sponges are cut in
to small pieces. which are fastened to
an insulated wire fixed in the water,
so that the sponges are supported a
few inches above the bottom. These
small bits. placed at close intervals
along the wire, soon heal and form an
organic attachment to 1t, and very
soon begin to grow. It Is too soon to
predict just what the results will be,
but the indications are so far very
encouraging, and 1t Is believed that
the time is not far distant when the
sponge fisheries of Florida will be
rastly increased in productiveness and

a dictionary in the same dialect exist
one in the Vatican Library and two
at Mount Sinai, they contain text of

us with lessons from the other books
