| this morning about one O'Clock and
was false, being pulled from a box
| by some person who skipped out be-

alarm was occasioned by a fire in the
country. The red glare, of the blaze
caused an alarm to be pulled by some
person who thought it was inside the
city. This was about 10 O'Clock. The
loss in the country was a tobacco barn.
Several new damage suits have been

ing the last few days. One of these is
Blanchard Tillery against the Norfolk

third or fourth suit against this COM
pany by Durham parties. 1t seems
that the company has quit business in
this State or has raised the rate of in
surance and the parties arc suing for
the return of all money paid into the
company as premiums. In the Oth2
suits the insurance people lost.

Useful Forestry Experiments.

The forestry service at washington
has begun series of experiments to
determine the value of the scrub pine
for paper making purposes. 1t is
hoped that this timber can be utilized
to relieve the demand for spruce,
which is very heavy. Tree plantations
made by railroads are also being
studied by the service, with
the view of gathering such statistics
of success or failure as may aid it
when called upon hereafter by rail-
roads to supply plans for other work
in forest extensions.
