The truth is that four-ffths of
the forests of the United States
are in private hands. The gov
erment, at the eleventh hour, has
extended its authority over large
areas, and it requires that timber
cutting in such areas shall be car
ried on with view to future needs
as well as present demand. The
forests are to have chance for
their lives. In other areas the
government is attempting to raise
trees. The work is slow and diff
ticult. Common sense dictates
that the proper policy is to save
the remaining forests rather than
to permit their destruction in the
hope of creating new forest areas.
This policy is being pursued by
the federal authorities in the one
fifth of the total forest area which
is under their control Public
sentiment unquestionably approves
this plan and will heartily sustain
the president in any fight he may
make against the spoilers.

A movement is on foot to remove
the first capitol building of the
then territory of Colorado, from its
location in the 800 block on Colo
RADIO avenue, Colorado City, to the
city park, Denver. The park com
missioners of Denver, have the
matter under consideration and
definite steps may BE- taken in the
near future. The building is now
occupied as a Chinese laundry.
The federal government author
lied Colorado to call a legislative
body together, in 1861, and these
men met in Denver. Colorado
City was selected as the first capi-
tai and the log house was built.
When the lawmakers went there
the following year to hold their
first session, they found that no
Accommodations had been provided,
and that the structure was mad
equate, They adjourned to meet
in Denver and later chose Golden
as the capital. However, the first
territorial legislature met and or
ganized in Colorado City and the
present laundry has the distinc-
ton of being the original capitol
building of Colorado.

JAP YOUTH ON scHooLsHiP.
Will Get Thorough Training on an
 American Boat.

The first Japanese youth to be ad- mitted to the crew of the sehoolship St Mary's is Katzern Artyoshi. Art yoshi, who is r years old, has been in the revenue cutter service on the Pacific for the last three years.
 As it is necessary for all foreigners who wish to become members of the schoolship's crew to have guardian, Artyoshi was forced to get one before he could be admitted to the crew. He succeeded In getting Capt. Osborn to act in that capacity Capt. Osborn will coach the boy along and help him over the hard points in his lessons.
 Artyoshi has not made up his mind yet whether he will remain in this country or go home to Japan after he has been graduated from the school ship. A term on the schOolship fits boy for servlce in the merchant ma 'rine. Artyoshi says he likes the United States and may stay here, but if Japan ever goes to war he will re- turn home quickly as possible to take part in it.

MONKS FIRST PLAYED poMINoEs
Origin of Game That Is Popular the
 World Over.

With regard to the game of dom- 1noes there is very interesting story connected with it's origin. It runs thus: There were two monks who had been committed to the pen alty of long seclusion and were con demned to keep absolute silence. To relieve the monotony they played game by showing each other small fiat stones marked with black dots. By well-understood arrangement, the monk whose hand was used at first informed the other player by repeating in an undertone the first hne of the vesper hymn, "Cantate Domino" (Sing unto the Lord). In time the monks completed the set of stones and formulated the rules of the game, so that by the time they were free to come out from their pun ishment they had found the game so interesting that on teaching 1t to the other members of the monastery it became a favorite and lawful pastime. 1t soon became popular all through Italy and from there extended to the whole world. The first line of the yes per hymn which the monks had used as slgnal was reduced to the word domino, and the name has stuck to the game ever since.

HAD THE ROBERTS SYMPATHY.
Chivalrous Brisand commiserated
 Woman's Life Partner.

Lancia, the noted Italian automo- bilist, was asked the other day if he did not think motor racing too dan gerous.
 "Dangerous--yes," M. Lancia re- piled. Too dangerous-no. For noth- ing that benefits mankind-and au- tomobiles benefit mankind inexpressi- bly-is too dangerous for a man to undertake.
 q have good deal of contempt for men who are not brave to the point of rashness. I am like high wayman who held up a gasoline run about on the outskirts of Rome.
 "This highwayman stopped the rum about with a shot in the air. Then he ran forth from the tomb that had concealed him-the hold-up happened on the Appian Way-and found, to his surprise, only a woman in the little car.
 Where, madam, Is your husband?" he demanded, sternly and suspiciously
 "'Hes under the seat she an swered, flushing.
 Then said the highwayman, I won't take nothing. It's bad enough to have a husband like that without being robbed into the bargain"

ELEVEN YEARS OF ECZEMA.
Hands Cracked and Bleeding-Nail Came Off of Finger-Cuticura Rem-
 edies Brought Prompt Relief.

T had eczema on my hands for about eleven years. The hands crack ed open in many places and bled. One of my fingers was so bad that the nail came off I had often heard of cures by the Cuticura Remedies, but had no confidence in them as 1 had tried so many remedies, and they all had failed to cure me. l had seen three doctors, but got no relief. Final ly my husband said that we would try the Cuticura Remedies, so we got cake of Cuticura Soap, box of Cuticura Ointment, and two bottles of Cuticura Resolvent Pills. Of course keep Cuticura Soap all the time for my hands, but the one cake of Soap and half box of Cuticura Ointment cured them. It is surely a blessing for me to have my hands well, and I am very proud of having tried Cuti- cura Remedies, and recommend them to all suffering with eczema. Mrs. Eliza A. Wiley, R. F. D.

No Advance in Wisdom,

Mark Twain tells how four years ago he was invited by the University of Missouri to go out there and receive the degree of IL. D. At the same time he visited Hannibal, his boyhood home. Just as he was about to leave, being accompanied to the station by 8 crowd of citizens, Tom Nash, school fellow, came up-white headed, but still a boy He shook hands with his friend of many a year and holding toward the crowd said: People of this town are the same blamed fools they always were, ain't they, Sam?"

ELECTRICAL OSCILLATIONS.
Peculiar Effects They Have on Iron
 Maenetzed.

The effect of electrical oscillations on iron in magnetic field formed the subject of a paper recently read before the Physical society by Dr. w H. Eccles. In attempting to make precise measurements of the effect of eh-frequency oscillations on iron held magIetized by a magnetic field. two main difficulties are met The one is that arising from the fact that the SscillatOry currents induced on the surface of the iron investigated shield the inner layers. and thus make the mass of iron affected variable quantity. The other difficulty arises in the matter of producing oscillations of determinate and invariable char acter. The author has endeavored to meet the first difficulty by using os- cillations so feeble that they affected only the outermost layers of the iron wires employed, and these even only slightly. The second difficulty has been met by using the oscillations produced in an open insulated sole noid by single small measur- able spark passed to one end of tho SoleaOid

OpELL. oBEYED HIS FATHER.
Emphatic Message That Broke Up
 Conference of Politicians.

Four years ago, when ex-Gov. Odell, of New York, was coming up for re- nomination at the convention in Sara toga, there was plan to put man on the ticket with him for lieutenant gov ernor to whom Odell objected strongly.
 The governors father, SS years old, a deacon in the church and very strict in religious matters, was in Saratoga.
 There was conference at one of the hotel cottages that lasted until late in the morning. The other lead CTS were trying to force Odell to take the obnoxious man.
 About two o'clock Odellfs father, who had heard what was going on, stalked angrily over to the cottage and rapped on the door. Frank Platt, son of Senator Platt, came to the door.
 'Well?" said Platt sharply.
 q want to see my son. demanded Odell.
 The governor came to the door.
 What is it, father?" he asked.
 Ben" said the old deacon, tell them to go to ---!"
 "Yes, father" replied the governor obediently, and he went back and did just that.-Saturday Evening Post.

CRIED EASILY.
Nervous Woman Stopped Coffee and
 Quit Other Things.

No better practical proof that coffee Is drug can be required than to note how the nerves become unstrung in women who habitually drink it.
 The stomach, too, rebels at being continually drugged with coffee and tea-they both contain the drug caffeine. Ask your doctor.
 An Ia. woman tells the old story thus:
 T had used coffee for six years and was troubled with headaches, nervous. ness and dizziness. In the morning upon rising I used to belch up a sour fluid regularly.

American Lamps Superior.

Sir William Preece made some statements recently before the British association which are calculated to disturb the equanimity of English manufacturers of electric lamps. es- pecially since he based them upon tests made at the instance of the Engineering Standards committee. He showed, among other things, that the British-made lamp falls short of the American-made lamp in efficiency, in life, and in accuracy of rating. Many English lamps nominally of 16 candle power, purchased in open market. showed an average of only 13.2 candle power, as against 16.2 for the Ameri. can lamps. They also showed a much smaller efficiency, and their useful life was only one-fifth that of the American article. This difference, as the Engineer remarks, is so enormous that the British makers will have to bestir themselves.

parts of the instrument still more ponderous, and the heavy casting of the base weighs five tons. The parts of the giant star-gazing tube are near ly ready to be mounted in the obServa- tory at the top of the mountain. The task of getting them there, however, proved one of the most serious prob lens in connection with the great tele- scope undertaking.
 The observatory on Mount Wilson is nine miles from Pasadena, and in that distance there is rise of about 5000 feet The mountain trail is rough and precipitous, at some points turning at an arc with radius of only fifteen feet, and at others having per pendicular walls of rock on narrow lodges overlooking steep precipices where a slip would mean fall Of hundreds of feet Over such road it seemed impossible to carry the heavy parts of the big instrument by any avaibable means of transportation, and the building of a railway to the top of the mountain was considered, among other schemes.

MoEarcf1s as Linuuists.

Monarchs must know more than one language. King Edward, who trav- eled so much, speaks French better than some Frenchmen, and also Ger man. The czar of Russia speaks French as we'll as his native tongue and knows the numerous dialects. Emperor William of Germany speaks French and English correctly, and is also we'll versed in Latin. The king of Spain, the youngest of all, speaks German with ease and also French and English. Because of his marriage he now practices the latter. The king of Portugal speaks French, English, German and Spanish. The king of Italy is master of French and Ger man and is also we'll versed in the va- rious Italian dialects.

keep Your Blood Pure.

No one can be happy, light-hearted and healthy with body full of blood that cannot do its duty to every part because of it's impurity; therefore, the first and most important work in hand is to purify the blood so that every organ will get the full benefit of a healthy circulation. There is no rem edy so good as that old family rem edy, Brandreth's Pills. Each pill con tains one grain of the solid extract of sarsaparilla blended with two grains of a combination of pure and mild vegetable products, making it blood purifier unexcelled in character One or two taken every night for awhile will produce surprising results.
 Brandreth's Pills have been in use for over a century, and are for sale everywhere, plain or sugar-coated.

 p.ru cIaIms Kuroki.

Gen. Kuroki, the famous Japanese soldier, has been variously described as of Polish, Russian and German ex- traction. Another interesting chap ter has been added to this genealogical symposium by an official publication in the Official Gazette, of Lima, Peru, which makes the claim, and submits a plausible statement of facts to prove it, that Kuroki's father was Peruvian patriot whose name was Translto Charroqui. It is also declared that the generals father was descendant of the Incas, who themselves are be- lieved to have been descendants of an Asiatic race, so Kuroki is an atavism and has come into his own in the land of his fathers.

able means for collecting the electri- cal waves to make the machine a sue cess.
 The machine was constructed by Capt. Raymond Anglemire and Prof. Howard Tazewell of Boston, and con- sists of three of Dr. Bells tetrahedral kites, a large lifting propeller, and wireless electric motor direct-connect- ed to the propeller by means of yer tical shaft.
 Capt. Anglemire selected my anten- nae as the most suitable for this pur- pose, writes Edward Harbert, in Pop ular Mechanics, because of their ex- treme lightness and large area of ex- posed surface and because they pos sessed the additional advantage of re- ceiving the electrical waves with equal efficiency from all directions.
 When Capt. Anglemire first outlined the undertaking to me it seemed so unfeasible to my understanding that would have dismissed the proposition without any further consideration had it not been for my implicit confidence in his ability and admiration for his achievements, but after being honored with the privilege of witnessing the first ascension that was ever made in machine heavier than air l feel fully repaid for my contribution to the en- terprise.
 The test was made August 27 at Brantford, Ontario, the city in which Alexander Graham Bell resided when he invented the now indispensable telephone. A small lake near the outskirts of the city was charged with electricity, the current being taken from nearby trolley wire and passed through some kind of transforming device, which was furnished by Prof. Tazewell. A number of railroad ties were foated on the surface of the lake and these were all connected by a wire, which earned the current. The number of spectators was linn ited to few friends and two news | paper reporters, and no photographs were allowed to be taken during the test, as the details of the system of | wireless locomotion will not be di- | vulged at present.
 When everything was in readiness Prof. Tazewell took his position at the switch and Capt Anglemire suspended
 himself beneath the slender frame
 work of the machine. "All right" he
 said, and Prof Tazewell turned the switch. Instantly there was a crack ing noise accompanied by flashes of
The Green Forest tribune., 1907-01-04

light which appeared all over the sur face of the lake. The wireless motor quivered and then began humming with ever increasing acceleration un- til the huge propeller lifted the ma chine from the ground. At height of 200 feet Capt. Anglemire signaled Prof. Tazewell, who turned off the cur rent gradually and thus allowed the machine to descend slowly to the ground.
 The test proved fatal to many of the small fish and frogs that inhabited the lake, but proved beyond all doubt the possibility of operating q fying-ma. chine heavier than air.

Horses Still In Demand.

Happily the horse has faculty for upsetting the gloomy predictions that he is fated to be put out of business by the automobile. The horse business
 has kept right on developing in spite of the fact that the automobile indus try has been engaged in similar un- dertaking. The demand for horses is still great. The supply of some classes of them is inadequate. The prices are high. The automobile may scare the horse into the ditch, but it isn't likely to crowd him to the wall. There will always be a field for the horse, as there will always be field for the omobile.-Hartford Times.

 Up St Mountain.

G. W. Ritchey, superintendent of in strument construction, adopted the plan of improving the roadway to the top of the mountain and employing this specially designed automobile truck. The sum of $25,000 is now be- ing expended in improving the trail and converting it into an eight-foot roadway from the base of the noun tain to the observatory.
 No attempt was made to obtain speed results in designing the car. The truck is expected to go seven miles an hour on level roadway and about two miles an hour in climbing the mountain, fully loaded in either case. The average load in moving the tele- scope will be about five tons.
