EXTINCTION OF ANIMALS.
Buffalo, Elephant, Lion, Giraffe and
others Passing Away.

Recently published translations from
the German writings of G. B. Schill-
ings, the noted African traveller and
animal photographer, have been inter
esting a good many people in this
country. says the Indianapolis News.
Mr.. Schillings has an enthusiasm for
this sort of scientific investigation that
has carried him to daring lengths in
the achievement of his purpose. He
realizes that the larger animals of At
rica-the elephant, the lion, the giraffe,
etc.-are rapidly becoming extinct
that in a few more generations the
world will know them only as it now
knows the dodo; and for this reason
he has undertaken to make an accur-
ate and scientific record of their exist
ence in their native habitat To do
this he has gone into the widest parts
of the dark continent and photo
graphed these animals in their wild
state, both at night by means of flash
light and in daytime with such sun
exposures as he has been able to OBJ
tain. His work has been excellently
done, and the record is interesting to
us, and will be even more SO to those
who come after us.
With its economic usefulness ii is
likely that the elephant will, in the
course of time, take the status of the
camel in the Orient and never become
extinct. But the others are doomed.
The giraffes are almost gone, the rhi-
noceros and the river horse" are be-
coming rare, and lions grow scarcer
year by year. And this is largely be-
cause of killing for sport" Some of
these animals, to be sure, are danger

RinetaiI Wildcat Caught.

A ringtail wildcat, an animal decid-
edly rare in northern Michigan, has
been caught by Herman Thiele, Ne
gaunee man, in trap set at Goose
lake. The animal has fine silky gray
fur. Though there are some black
stripes down the back, the most strik-
ing Characteristic is series of black
stripes around the bushy tail. In this
appendage it differs radically from the
ordinary wildcat. The wildcat, like
the lynx, is possessed of a bobtail.
while the ringtail cat has a tail over a
foot in length and very bushy.

An Evsr-Prssenl Foe.

The soldier and the sailor are es-
pecially subject to catarrh. In the
barracks and on the field, Peruna is
found equally efficacious to overcome
this physical enemy. If taken in time
1t will prevent colds from developing
into catarrh. Even after cold has
settled in some organ of the body,
Peruna can be relied upon as an eff
cacious remedy to promptly overcome
1t.
Peruna will relieve catarrh, whether
acute or chronic, but few doses OF
it taken in the first stages of the dis
ease will be more effective than when
the disease has become established.

in the central states the forests give
place to farms, in some instances moi
even a woodlot being spared. The
people of this country unquestionabl1
have abused the privilege Of doing -
they please with their own property
for their immediate financial better
ment, with the prospect Of such prac-
tices resulting disastrously In the fu-
ture.
Much Of the land denuded Of its
timber Is absolute forest land, fit for
no purpose except possibly grazing.
and not Of the best character even for
that use. Nature will require
years to replace this protec-
tion so that a new forest may be
brought forth, and this change never
will be possible unless the woods and
small growth which nature uses as
a basis of the cover shall be protected.
1t Is impossible to secure the adop-
tion of laws looking toward the estab-
lishment Of a new custom OF national
scope without widespread public de-
mand for the change believed by Its
supporters to be an improvement over
existing customs. Few If any have
the effrontery openly to take the field
against the forestry movement, as an
fair minded people realize the neces-
sity of keeping part Of the country
protected by a forest cover. The claim
of science that forests are necessary
to protect the rainfall as an aid in
this regulation generally is admitted.

FORESTRY A NECESSITY.
A BROAD, NATIONAL SYSTEM OF

Authorities.

man reprints in this issue part Of
the speech of George H. Maxwell, ex-
ecutive chairman of the National 1rri-
CATION Association, delivered before
the American Forest Congress at Wash
| ington, d. c., in the early part of jan
uary. 1905. This address has much
to commend it to the business men
of the country. 1t was termed the
sensational address of the congress.
and perhaps deservedly SO called be-
cause it sets forth in Illuminated
words the necessity of inaugurating q
systematic movement looking toward
the rehabilitation of forest lands and
the planting or treeless areas.
The gentleman who delivered this
able talk on forestry spoke from ex-
perience and close observation. He did
not dillydally around with the usual
commonplace platitudes about the Inn
portance of forestry, but by illustra-
tion showed for what purposes the
forests were intended and the COM
mercial value of their importance rs
compared with the recognized bulwarks
of the nation. While he conceded the
necessity of an army ana navy to
Su6Tu lufdSlUu anu " pAoeCSs ahu ny
hold the rights of the people In for
eign countries he called particular at
tention to the desirability of maintain
| ing an adequate forested area in order
| that the commercial interests of the
| United States might in like manner
| be preserved.
Mr.. Maxwell's arraignment OF the
national lawmakers and his comments
on the shortsightedness Of those In
charge of business interests were time
ly. While not subscribing fully and
unreservedly to the views expressed
| the American Lumberman believes that
his severe condemnation Of past and
present methods and practices will
bring forth good results and that its
republication will again turn public
attention to the necessity of adopting
laws which will correct evils in the
future and provide system of juster
administration of the public land laws.
The attitude of the public toward
forestry and Irrigation is peculiar
one. Men evidently fail to recognize
any personal interests in such ques
tions. Some are totally Indifferent
others admit the desirabilfty of es
tablishing reserves but want to leave
it to those who are more directly
concerned. Still others are lukewarm
and, while readily admitting the bene'
fits of forestry and irrigation pro-
jects, content themselves with waiting
until there is more visible likelihood
of the movement being successful
Still another faction is made up OF
those who are openly opposed to all
forestry schemes, many national irri
CATION projects, and government inter
yentiOn in such matters.
Until within recent years the forests
of the country as a whole have beer
controlled by private owners. The

berg, only daughter of Princess Henry,
the youngest sister Of King Edward.
Ever since Alfonso became King Of
Spain, and even when his mother
acted as Queen Regent, his picturesque
personality has been the talk of two
continents. Long before he reached
the marriageable age, even for king,
a new bride was picked out for him
every day, and to members of his suite
he would often say:
Whom am to marry to-day? The
newspapers surely have found me an
other wife!"
But now that question no longer
agitates Alfonsos court, for the beau
tiful Princess Ena has been chosen
after search which led the young
monarch all over Europe. Country af-
ter country was visited but the fas-
tidious young king was often con-
fronted by more fastidious young prin-
cesses, and after he had been out on
his search for while he found that
royal princesses were not SO anxious
to become Queen Of Spain as he had
thought back in his luxurious palace.
When Alfonso visited England few
months ago there were dozens Of young
noblewomen paraded fer his inspec-

Princess Ena, and Alfonso, the unim-
