The Fan.

The history of the fan Is almost rs
old as the history Of the world. One
might almost imagine Eve Haunting
primitive fan of palm leaves or feath-
ers in the garden of Eden. The Egyp-
tians used fans of strange shapes made
Of parchment or plumes at their re-
llgious ceremonies. The Romans used
a flabellum. cort Of circular fan, on
occasions Of state, and the early Greeks
had fans made Of the fat leaves Of the
lotus. The Chinese and japanese have
always been great fan lovers and lavish
infinite care upon their decoration.
Men and women use them alike. These
fans are Of painted and embroidered
silk. gilded paper, ostrich or peacock
feathers, with sticks Of violet wood.
sandal. ivory or pearl. Queen Eliza
beth owned almost as many fans rs
dresses and had mania for collecting
them. Her subjects were in the habit
Of Offering these trifles to their regal
mistress. Nine. de Pompadour loved
a fan and encouraged the art Of fan
painting. Her collection Of fans was
enormous. Greuze. Vatican and other
renowned painters did not disdain to
lend their art to fan painting. 1t was

tits fact which Canada faces with
some degree Of sadness that within 9
few years she win be absolutely devoid
Of the beautiful pine forests which ct
one time were her pride. At the pres.
emit rate of destruction the number Of
years cannot be great until there Will
hardly be another tree Of the original
forests to be ont within the limits of'the
Canadian lumber region.
Sir Wilffid Laurier In recent address
called attention to the many enemies OF
the forest. Man, he said. ID bad enough,
but he ID not 20 bad - the insects and
the insects arc not 30 bad ~ the dre. The
fire IL the great enemy Of the forests.
Year after year, during the summer
months, miles and miles OF forests are
destroyed by fire. Perhaps It does not

years, but there 10 still far too much OF It.
Efforts are being made, however, to
check the ravages Of the flames. In the
Ottawa valley the lumbermen keep .

service the forests would have to be
looked after q they are in France and
Germany, 30 that 20 far - possible every

that it is . crime to throw . lighted

ashes of fire, or to leave . camp IRE

Sir Wilfrid calls attention 10 the railway

Dominion where there Is timber milei

forest now nothing but parched and
blackened timber monument to the
destructiveness OF the railroad l0como
tive.
Yet the railroad men have taken every
precautiou in their endeavor to overcome
the difficulty inherent in the operation
of the railway locomotive. They have
put screens upon their smokestacks anC
devised other methods, but all have
proved inadequate. While the Canadian
forests have never been called upon t
pay the enormous tribute to multiply

States have, they have been decimatet

improvident settler, and ravaged by fir
