Forestry in Norway.

OF Norway's forest area the state
owns 1896 square miles, which bring
an annual income of about $26S,000.
The annual expenses connected with
the public forests, "Statsal mennin-
GER" as they were called, amounts
to about $12S,000. The yearly pro-
fit derived by the state from this
source is thus about $4,000. About
$45,500 are actual running expenses,
while about $4,000 Is used for
planting of new trees and for seed,
and the rest for purchases and i'm
provements of forests, and for aid
to private people in forest cultiva-
tion.
In 1898 a forestry society, "Det-
norske Skogselskab, embracing the
whole country, was established, and
of which a forestry engineer paid by
the state has the professional man
agement The aim of the society Is
the preservation and cultivation of
Norway's forests. The membership
fee is Sd cents annually, or $50 for
lifetime membership. The members,
at present about 10000, receive the
publications issued by the society
free of charge. ThN state appropri-
ates about $4,000 annually for the
use OF the society.
Forest planting has attracted much
attention in recent years. There
were 6,S00,000 trees planted and
74S pounds Of seed sown in 1905, of
which 1 1,4S7,400 trees were planted
and 176 pounds of seed sown by the
school children and other young peo-
pie. Forest planting is gradually be-
ing introduced as a subject in the
public schools. Especially on the
west coast the school children have
taken much interest in the matter.
In a single parrish 100000 trees
have been planted by them during the
last three or four years.
About one-third of the total ex-
ports from Norway in 1905 consisted
of lumber and wooden goods. The
value of the different classes OF these
products were: Lumber, S9,355,-
500; manufacturers OF lumber,
$3.50, 900; wood pulp (about 450,-
900 tonsl, $7,4O2,SOO; paper (about
20 900 tons), $3,324,700; total,

AS general rule the size and the
excellence of the blossoms which a
plant will bear are In an inverse ra-
ito To the number that are allowed
TO grow To maturity. This fact was
brought home to us forcibly the
other day by noting a chrysanthe-
mum which had thirty-five or forty
blossoms, none of which were larger
than good sized pants buttons. If
the blossoms had been limited to two
or three, they might have been very

Right Kind of Curfew.

One of our exchanges says: "Ev-
cry family should have curfew,
which positively should ring tonight
and every night IL needed. These
curfews are inexpensive and can be
made at home. Take a piece of sid
ing two feet long and whittle one
end down to handle; then take the
child that needs the curfew and bend
him over a barrel. Now take the
piece of siding in the hand and use
Il for a clapper. Put II on hot. Di-
vide the strokes evenly and see that
none miss. Good for boy or girl up
to the age OF sixteen, and applica-
tions are warranted TO cure the most
severe cases of street loaflng that
exist. The music that this curfew
makes is finer than singing where

VOICES
viii Sing In the Chorus of HandeI'S
Messiah, at Seattle, July 9

Seattle, June IA chorus of
1900 voices, the largest ever brought
together in the Pacific Northwest,
will assist soloists of national repu-
tation in the singing Of Handel's
Messiah, the oratorio selected by the
musical committee to be sung at the
Christian Endeavor convention to
be held in this city, July 1915.
The chorus together with the or
chestra of $50 pieces has been re-
hearsing in the city for the past four
months under the direction of James
Hamilton Howe, a well known figure
ia musical circles in this section.
The work is almost completed, and
critics who have heard the chorus
declare that the work Of the singers
is equal to any chorus of its size
ever brought together.
The oratorio will be sung on the
evening Of July 9th and will be pro-
duced in Eilliston Tent, one Of the
large tents obtained by the commit
tee of 1907, to be used as an auditor
ium. Space will be provided for the
seating of 1000 visitors under the
big canvas.
The soloists have not been secured
but the chairman of the music COM
mittee, Charles G. Englehard, is cor
responding with soloists throughout
the country. It is his intention to
secure the best singers possible.

Spanish Emigration TO South
America.

Consul-General b. II. Ridgely, in
report from Barcelona, says that
one rather striking feature has been
, the increased emigration from Cali
cia to South America, particularly to
Argentina, OF which he furnishes the
following details:
In one instance a whole village
composed Of some 1000 men, women
and children, finding It impossible to
earn their living, emigrated to Para
quay, their transportation having
been paid by the government OF that
country. There has always been
more or less emigration from Spain
to the Philippine Islands, Cuba and
Porto Rico, and during 1906 this
was but slightly increased. South
America seems to be the Mecca OF
the Spanish emigrant, and this fact
was accentuated during 1906. The
German and English steamship lines
are conducting a vigorous campaign
in their efforts to stimulate emigra-
tion, and have invaded nearly every
corner of Spain with their agents
and their literature. The North Ger
man Lloyd and Hamburg-American
lines are particularly active in the
northern and northwestern provinces

TORPEDO BOAT DEsTROYERs.

II was a happy thought to institute last
weeks contest between half a dozen OF the
swiftest vessels in the American navy. BY
demonstrating exactly what might be expected
from these craft. should an emergency recurring
their services arise, very much the same object
is attained as IS secured by target practice and
the manRuvring Of battleships and cruisers in
time of peace. Reliance is placed NOWADAYS on
torpedo boat destroyers not merely for the use
OF their peculiar weapons, but also for scouting
and carrying messages to and from the officer
in command of a feet. OF their fitness for these
latter duties better Indication is afforded by a
run from the vicinity of New York to the
mouth OF the Chesapeake than by the ordinary
acceptance trial. which is conducted over a very
much shorter course and often in exceptionally
