SOUTHERN PINE FORESTS


of 1T In the light that the stumps are the
duction of turpentine and the associated
oils-and think again that all that is needed
to make these lands valuable is that they
be cleared Here is a process whereby the
clearing Of the land will be made highly
pfontaole, and thus the very worst land is
the best from financial standpoint This
chemical process of extracting the oils from
the pine Is destined to revolutionize some
portions of the south, and to make the bar
rem spots bloom like garden. If the land
was cleared you know it would be valuable
for agricultural purposes, but under the
old conditions when the pulling of a stump
meant a dead loss Of both energy and
mercy, 1t was hard proposition to the
settler. or course, he could get the land
on plenty of time, but the grubbing and
clearing stood like a mountain in the eyes
OF most. NOW, though, 1t will be possible to
have the land cleared for the farmer with
out cost to him. and it will not be long be-
fore the chemical people will be willing to
pay him good price for the old stumps
ana limbs and other waste from the trees
Ihe extraction of the commercial oils
from the pine by chemical means has been
secret until very recently There are verv
lew factories in the world But ii seems
that now several have the secret and a
syndicate has apparently been formed in
chicago for exploiting the new invention
as there are now some five gentlemen in
TINS section looking into the proposition of
this character, and 1t is understood that
one or them has been placed and will nut
up big plant without delay"

Oyster Culture In japan.
From the Baltimore Sun.

from Inc baltimore Sun.
The backwardness and unprogressiveness
of the element Of our population that op-
poses oyster culture are indicated by a fact
stated In the National Geographic Maya
zine, namely, that the Japanese were cult
waiting oysters over two centuries ago on
the only practical basis of individual con-
troll of the oyster bottoms This intelligent
people long ago saw what our political ms
do not yet see-that reaping without sow
ing Is as improvident and ruinous in aoui-
culture as in agriculture. TT comes as a
shock to our national PRIDE" says the Ma
tional Geographic Magazine for Nav. chat
the Japanese should have taken up oyster
culture century before our nation was
born and have recognized the most essen
tial factor In successful cultivation. namely
individual ownership or control of the
oyster bottoms, when we remember that in
the most important oyster region in the
world, within a short distance of the can't
tai OF the United States, the vital principles
or oyster culture are ignored and efforts
10 apply them are resisted sometimes by
force OF arms" Happily for the Japs,
among them the least intelligent are not
permitted to dictate the policy of the state
to their own hurt and to the injury Of large
public interests.
Not only do the Japs cultivate with great
profit the common oyster, but they cultivate
also the pearl oyster. They stimulate the
pearl secretion artifcially, with the result
that every year they have ,250, 600 oysters
under treatment and obtain annually some
10000 pearls. Among US the raising of

"Economiesn at the Quirinal.

Corr the London Pail Mall Gazette.
The Italians are poor but proud, and the
latent dissatisfaction at what they call the
Economies" at the Quirinal, which up to
now has been simmering, has at last boiled
over, the proverbal last straw being that
Queen Elena wore the same costume at the
races the other day that she appeared In
last season on the same occasion! Could
enormity go farther? But, all the same,
there is something to be said for the
grumblers. They certainly pay 100000
francs (f64O 900 yearly to the king, and
almost the only return they get-they say
is two balls at the royal palace. The king
and queen never patronize music or the
drama never enter private house. never
pay visits, never apparently interest them
selves In any of the one hundred and one
social or charitable affairs of the court set.
So the people pretend that when their
majesties do issue from their oriental Sc
clusion'' the queen should at least have on
a new costume; but, alas. they are usually
disappointed.
To probe the discomfort still further. 1t
must be said that the Italians are most
suspicious that the economy (Which really
does exist does not go for the benefit of
the royal couple, but finds it way to Mon
tenegro-which is like a red flag to a bull
to them. THAT our queen should make
'brutta hgura' (cut bad figure) that Uncle
Nicholas (the Prince of Montenegro may
prosper is intolerable." they go about NUT
tering. But then, after all, what can they
do about it?

1.-THE dreams of the most avaricious miser
never comprised anything so wonderful for
bringing flow of gold as the yellow pine
forests of a few southern states, said Dr.
Richards of Savannah. Ga, to Star man
at the Arlington yesterday. THE millmen
had denuded millions of acres of forests
and the stumps and old dead limbs are worn
even more than was the lumber from the
great tree Science has made possible the
utilization Of every particle of the pine
tree to the benefit of mankind. There are
not many chamical works where the differ
ent oils are extracted from fat" pine by
the retort process, but those In the busi-
ness are simply coming tremendous for
tunes, and with future that looks almost
into infinity. A cord of pine knots stumps
ETC., which is the material used, costs de-
livered at the works, 81 Is: the cost Of man
ufacture adds another $.35, making total
of $3.50 per cord. After the sale of all the
pr oducts of this wood the manufacturer has
in his safe, from each cord, the sum Of
$500. This being the very low Watermafk
" hen the market is at its worst.
There are several parties In this sec
ton now securing lands on which the tim
Der has been cut but where the stumps
and old trees and trash lies thickest They
intend putting in chemical works and eX-
trecting some of the gold found in pine.
1.-The possibilities in this line are very
large though the territory is limited to a
few southern states, where the pine pre-
dominates One thing that is detrimental
to this industry, to the numbering interests,
and to the welfare of all the people, 1t is
claimed is that men are allowed to box
the young growth for turpentine. No tree,
so those assert who ought to know, should
be boxed under twelve inches, while the
truth is that many are boxing trees but half
that size. This has bad tendency In
every way, and 1t stunts the growth to
certain extent and thus makes poorer tim
Der. 1t is dangerous because of fires de-
stroying whole forests. and 1t is not neces-
sary when there are millions of acres where
the fat pine, stumps limbs. ETC.. will fur
nish more and better turpentine still.
Estimates carefully worked out from
the actual daily experience In several OF
the bis, chemical works of the country show
that the average cord of wood Will pro-
duce:
"From first extraction. twenty-six gallons
os turpentine.
From second extraction, twelve gallons
Of OIL
From third extraction. lightweight gal
Ions of Oil.
From the two last extractions are Sc
cured twenty by-produets all of consider
able value and some of them very neces-
sary to the commerce of the world as
creosote, with which piling Is made i'm
previous to the ravages of the teredo Then
too, the wood is valuable itself, each cord
making forty bushels of charcoal worth
711 cents bushel. The value Of all the
products of the fat pine, as l said before,
exceeds 1913 a cord. That makes a profit
of nearly $50 cord.
Think of the millions of acres throughout
the yellow pine belt where almost for miles
one can see nothing but stumps, and think

terrapin is an unsolved problem, so that we
are facing the extinction of the diamond
back and of other less valued varieties
But the Japs for years have been placing
artiicially grown terrapin on the market.
Near Tokyo a single farm markets yearly
a crop of from $4,000 to 10000 terrapin. In
view of facts like this is seems to be up
to" our people to take a comprehensive
view of their valuable but neglected water
areas-areas which under intelligent man
agement are capable of producing, per acre,
crops largely exceeding in value those
grown on land. We boast of our position
in the van of modern progress, but in re-
spect to the utilization of our natural re-
sources we are far in the rear of the Jap
anese In fact, we regard our oyster bot
toms from the point of view of primitive
savages who hold their land in common
and senselessly consume its products with
out provision for their renewal.

Do Not Limit Your Ability.

SUGGEST
Poverty and failure are self-invited The
disaster people dread often comes to them.
Worry and anxiety enfeeble their force of
mind and so blunt their creative and pro-
ductive faculties that they are unable to
exercise them properly. Fear of failure,
or lack of faith in ones ability, Is one of
the most potent causes of failure Many
people of splendid powers have attained
only mediocre success, and some are total
failures, because they set bounds to their
achievement, beyond which they did not
allow themselves to think that they could
pass They put limitations to their ability;
they cast stumbling blocks in their way, by
aiming only at mediocrity or predicting fall
ure for themselves, talking their wares
down instead of up, disparaging their bust
ness and belittling their powers.

ROME May IA. 1905.
What is probably, though not certainly,
fits last act has just been played in one Of
the most pathetic dramas in real life on
record in this country. 1t has been par
liamentary drama, the chief players, with
two exceptions. having been members Of
the Italian chamber of deputies. while the
chamber itself has been the theater in
which most of the action has passed.
For the beginning of this drama one must
Sc back seven years. AT that time the
italian chamber of deputies was enlivened
by the wit and fighting qualities of two BIT
ter antagonists. Felice Cavallotti, the radi-
cal leader, and Count Ferruccio Macola, the
brilliant conservative deputy. Cavallotu.
besides being one of the most striking fig
ures in Parliament, was an eloquent writer,
a dramatist of some distinction, and ia
nous duelist Hot-tempered and impulsive,
he was the idol of the Italian radicals.
His great rival, Count FerruCcio Macola,
was the antithesis of Cavallotu in nearly
