Preserving Our Forests.

One Of the most hopeful signs of the
times is the changing attitude OF the
lumbermen toward the science of for
estry. as fostered by the federal gov
ernment. They are beginning to see
that their industry is doomed to an
early extinction unless the waste is
checked and the forest is renewed for
future generations. And more than
this, unless the forests are preserved.
vast tracts of fertile and prosperous
America will become desert in the next
century. This is a lesson taught by
such countries as Tunis, now a part
OF the north African desert. which in
old times was a smiling and populous
garden. An Arab chronicler relates
that sin those days n could walk
from Tunis to Tripoli in the shade"
The Arab conquest destroyed the
forest and the desert swept over the
face Of the land.-Ralph. D. Paine, in
The Builders" in Outing Magazine.

THE DISCUS.
Methods Of the Grecian Athletes Iu
Homeric Times.

VI W VI
Homeric Times.
Discus throwing was a refined form
Of hurting the stone. In Homertc
times, and wen at Olympia, a stone or
mass of iron was first used for the
purpose. This was held by a leathe1n
thong, swung in a circle and hurled as
far as possible. A circular or lentic-
ular disk Of bronze was used at least
as early as the beginning of the fifth
century.
A standard weight must, Of course.
be assumed for the great games. A
discus now in the British museum,
which seems to have been used, weighs
II pounds 0 ounces, but whether this
was the standard weight or not Is not
definitely known.
The thrower took his stand upon a
slight elevation Of limited circumfer-
ence, where he could have q secure
foothold and was prevented from run
ming. Then, with a swing Of the arm
andsa corresponding movement Of the
whole body he hurled the discus as far
a. possible.
The value Of the body movement was
Iecognized by the sculptor Myorn In
his famous statue, 1.-THE Discobolus,' =
aud Is understood by the modern ath-
-tete when be swings the hammer OF
even when be makes a drive at golf.
