Pay of Russian OnfciaIdotn.

Those who keep track of affairs in
Russia note the prominence of the
Grand Dukes. These gentlemen of the
people enjoy a snecure unlike any
other on earth. There are over fifty
of them. and each is possessed of an
annual income or salary of 100000,
all combined imposing a burden of
$100,000,0OO year on the Russian peo-
pie, as members or off-shOots of the
Royal Family. Their property like
that of the Gar, amounting to a vast
sum is untaxed. The question may
well suggest itself, why should Russia
want to borrow war funds in Paris
when she has her Grand Dukes I'M
tapped-and even untaxed? There Is
chance now on the part of these titled
mendicants to display a little patriot
ism, by opening their cash boxes. One
Of them, it is true, went to the from
in the Japanese War, but made sucl
mess of himself that he was called

Painful ambiguity.

Secretary Shaw was telling an au,
dience, which was largely composed OF
G. A. R. men of his State, how the
world was growing better. He PIC,
tured the conditions when he was a
boy and now. He told OF the advance
in the last few years in industrial
conditions, and ended by saying:
Veterans, the world is much better
now than it was when you were born,
and everyone of the veterans M
plauded loudly. "And it Will be bet
ter when you have passed TO the be
yond," he continued. For few min
utes the audience did not know just
how to take the remark, but finally
they decided to give the speaker the
benefit of the doubt and applauaet
with spirit.

hey point to the necessity Of protect

zion whose influence flows far beyond
its borders with the waters of the
"iyers to which it gives rise.
Among the elevations of the eastern

These great mountains are Old i'll the
history of the continent which has
grown up about them. The hard
wood forests were born on their slopes
and have spread thence over the east
ern half of the continent More than
once in the remote geologic past they
have disappeared before the sea on the
east, south, and west. and before the
ice on the north; but here in this
Southern Appalachian region they
have lived on TO the present day.
Under the varying conditions of
soil, elevation, and climate many of
the Appalachian tree species have de-
veloped. Hence it is that in this re-
gion occur that marvellous variety and
richness of plant ~rowth which have
led our ablcst business men and sciCn-
fists to ask for its preservation by the
Government for the advancement of
science and for the instruction and
pleasure of the people of our own and
of future generations.

Too Much For Human Belief

He was much pleased with the place,
but was quite bored by his host, who
would eulogize everything that was
brought to the table. "Try some of

We are Losing Millions OF Dollars
Annually.

The floods in these mountain-born
streams, if this forest destruction
continues, will increase in frequency
and violence, and in the extent of their
damages. both within this region and
across the bordering States. The eX-
tent of these damages, like those from
the washing of the mountain fields
and roads, can not be estimated with
perfect accuracy, but during the pres
ent year alone the total has apprOXi-
mated SlO,OU0,OOO, sum sufficient to
purchase the entire area recommended
for the proposed reserve during the
past year the flood loss was probably
twenty million dollars). But this loss
can not be estimated in money value
alone. Its continuance means the
early destruction of conditions most
valuable to the nation, and which nci-

Vast Waste OF Farm Soil.

The soil, once denudcd of it's for
ests and swept by torrcntial rains,
rapidly loses first its humus, then its
rich upper strata. and finally is wash
ed in enormous volume into the
streams, to bury such of the fertile
IowMnds as are not crodcd by the
foods. to obstruct the rivers, and to
fill up the harbors on the coast. More
good soil is now washed from these
cleared moumtain-sidc fields during Il
single heavy rain than during centu-
rics under forest cover.
The rivers which originate in the
Southern Appalachian flow into or
along the edges Of every State from
Ohio to the Gulf ana from the Attain

courses are agricultural, water-pOWcr
