TIMBER FAMINE is AT HAND.


Forests In United States.
The country is threatened with
timber famine and 1t is predicted that
the next generation will find the sup
ply of hard woods exhausted In nearly
all the States. The American farmer
is much of vandal and during the
last century there was wastonly de-
stroyed enough walnut, oak and ash to
supply the necessities of our people
for hard woods for decades at the
present rate of consumption. But that
is past mending and mills do not grind
with the water that went by yestcr.
day.
There is something of land famine
also, but that is imaginary rather than
real, though thousands Of Americana
have left their homes and located I'M
the dominion of Canada, where lands
are fertile, abundant and cheap. If
there is land famine in the States 1t
is due to the improvldence Of our
fathers and their vandal methods of
"skimming" the soil. There are mil.
lions and millions OF acres thus ex-
hausted and turned out as waste and
worthless fields. These could be re-
claimed and restored to their former
fertility IL we could induce the Amer
lean farmer to give little thought
and a little time to posterity.
Timber culture is unknown with us
or so little practiced that for practical
purposes 1t does not exist, though we
have millions and millions Of acres of
waste, exhausted and abandoned fields
on which valuable timber could be
grown, but the man who plants tim
Der tree works for posterlty, and our
folks are so hot-foot after the dollar
they have no time for trec-planting.
And yet timber culture can be made
profitable to the planter. An exhaust
ed field devoted to black walnut or
black locust Is soon covered with
grass and affords nm admirable pas
ture for sheep. In few years the
fertility of the soil Is restored and the
sheep husbandman, IL he be prudent
and frugal, reaps profit every year.
But we have few sheep husbandmen,
comparatively, and timber culture is
not an industry.
In some Of the States Of Continental
Europe no man can fell n tree on his
land without governmental permit,
which is not granted until he has
planted another tree to replace the one
he cut. In France timber is a regular
crop that is cut when it is ripe and
planted in due season. 1t was such
vandalism as we practice in the de-
,struction of timber that made so many
deserts in Asia. Trees are the lungs
Of the earth, and in some parts Of the
United States the earth has tubercu-
losis, due to ignorance and unthrift.-

NOW A TRAINING SHIP.
Finest War Trophy, Reinn Mercedes
Now Doing Duty In United states.

Finest wnr Trophy, Reina Mercedes,
Now Doing Duty In United states.
The Reina Mercedes, Americas fin
est war trophy captured ut Santiago,
is now doing duty as United States
training ship at New York. She was
one of the proud warships Of the
Spanish navy. She had formidable
steel submarine ram with five torpedo
tubes, sponsors and besides her big
guns an armament of breech-loadlng
rifles. She Is 275 feet 10 inches long.
At feet 2 inches beam and 16 feet 8
inches draft, with more than 5000 tons
displacement. Her complement In the
Spanish navy was 400 men.
After her severe experiences in the
Santiago sea engagement Gen. Toral
decided to do for Spain what Hobson
had failed to do for the Americans
close the entrance to Santiago harbor
with a large vessel-sink the Reina
Mercedes In the channel But the
heavy American fire interfered and the
channel was not entirely obstructed.
After the war the ship was raised
by the united STATES government ana
towed to Newport News. Her historic
name plate was removed at Norfolk.
Chief Naval Constructor HichbOrn
recommended that she be made receiv-
ing ship Mt Portsmouth. He estimated
that 1t would take 100000 or 100000
to put her in shape for sea service.
1t was said that he did not care TO
have her put into commission anyway
and was quoted as saying: "Some of
ns are determined not to see the name
OF Reina Mercedes on the naval list.
There are too many Spanish names
there already" That was but three or
four years ago, yet it seems decade.
To-day the old warship Is serving llsr
