a journal as Symons' Meteorological
Magazine has a kind word to say OF
this little fellow.
Here is a picture of the frogs lad

ther prophet in Germany and Switzer-
land. In many houses the frog. Is
kept in a bottle half filled with water
and provided with a ladder, and the
little fellow is carefully watched as
to his behavior in uncertain condi-
tons of the atmosphere. A number
of weather maxims are based upon
his posture and activity.
If he remains on one of the lowest
steps of the ladder 1t is considered
a sure sign that bad weather is COM

High Pay Kills Efficiency.

The example Of performance by
some very highly paid captains OF
American industry tends to disturb
the economic theory that every man
ought to be paid what he is worth
to his employer.
This question has become a ser.
ious one with the high organization
and vast concentration of industry.
The talent required for directing
these huge social machines is rare.
It can command it's own price. Mean.
while the, service it can render is so
Immediately lucrative that employers
do not count their money in compen-
sating it. These converging tenden.
cies have gone so far that salaries
of 100000 a year are common and
larger salaries are not unknown.
Men like this are highly paid as
an incident of their inheritance OF
industrial property. That is unjust,
of course, but 1t Is not an economic
injury if they have n enough not
to NEEDLE with affairs they are unit
for. The real harm is done when a
man of extraordinary talent for af-
fairs is suddenly lifted out of his
natural environment and surrounded
with the demoralizing influences OF
unaccustomed wealth.
Such a man is in danger of losing
not only his moral character, which
| concerns only himself, his family and
friends, but his business efficiency,
which is of value to the whole world.
| The striking examples Of this in the
successive presidents of the Steel
Trust are repeated on a small scale
all over the country.
The pay of these men OF excep.
tional talent ought to be measured
not by their earning power. but by
their ability to spend nationally

Oil OF Roads.

1t is reported that the use of oil
on the streets and highways of Cali
fornia, Kentucky and other States
has met with great success. The Cal
ifornia road men had a number OF
failures when they first began to use
oil, but by dint Of extended expert
ments with differing qualities of oil
they hit upon the proper kinds for the
various sorts of soil, and now the
State has several hundred miles OF
oiled streets and public roads. A
quality Of oil that suits clay soil is not
adapted to a sandy surface, and I'M
less the mixture is of proper consist
ency it cracks and is ground into a
disagreeable dust. This was notably
the case in and around Los Angeles,
where the soil is light and sandy, but
after repeated experiments the right
combination was found, and now the
streets and roads in the city and
suburbs are in fine condition, dust
less, firm and "springy." In Tacoma,
Seattle and other towns in the North
west successful results have been
obtained, and a material saving in
repair and watering expenses has
been effected.-The. Motor Car.

DISAPPEARING PULP WOODS.
A Danger, Grave and Impending May
Be Eyaded by Undivided Action.

The Toronto Globe has begun a
campaign for the conservation or
Canada's spruce forests, which are
the source of a large part OF the
wood pulp used for paper making IN
this country. In its issue OF July
21 the Globe says e~ditorially:
"The spruce supply of the United
| States would be completely exhausted
in half a dozen years if the manu-
facturers and users of paper a TO
depend on it alone. They are now
substituting large quantities of logs
from Canada at great expense and
are thus rapidly depicting our pulp
SUPPLIES. A certain amount Of forest
is devastated every year by fire. Our
own manufacturers consume a large
amount of pulp that is made into
naper for use in Canada, and a much
| larger amount for expectation to
| other countries. The supply at pres
| ent available Is enormous, but the
, consumption of paper is rapidly IN.
~creasing, while the supply of wood
If RAPIDLY diminishing. 1t IS only
a question of time when these two
movements will result in a very IN
convenient if not disastrous scar
city" ,
A few years ago there was general
| confidence in the ability of u o
thern border States to furnish all the
pulp wood that this country would
ever need. That notion has been
exploded. Our invasion of Canada
| for the needed supply is causing
grave apprehension in that country
Wisconsin paper mills are buying
pulp wood in Quebec, 1900 miles
away. The situation is a little better
! in northern New York and northern
New England. but even in those re-
| gions the end of our supply is 1mme-
diately before IS. Realizing THIS
fact, a number of our large paper
companies have bought extensive
tracts in Canada and are busily cut
ting on them. One company owns
about 5000 square miles and another
owns about 1900 square miles. There
are others with smaller holdings.
The point of special Importance is
not so much the possibilities that
Canada may impose an export duty
on pulp wood as the certainty ina:
unless proper steps are soon taken
there must occur an exhaustion OF
spruce supply in Canada, as we'll as
in this country. So far as this coun-
try is concerned. there is little II
anything that the Federal Govern
ment can be asked. to do. The spruce
regions of Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont, New York, Michigan, WIS
consin and Minnesota are not a part
of the national domain.
The danger. grave and impending
can be evaded only by State or by
undivided action. and only by the
) conservation of the existing forests
and an extensive planting with a
view to the remote future. Canada
has much larger powers OF Testrlc"
ton and may exercise them. If she
does, this country must dance to the
tune she pipes.-NeW York Sun.

injury resulting from overwork. The
device Is of such size as to fit nicely
in the hand. and it is comprised
mainly of a pair of blades between

upon the exertion of a certain amount
Of pressure the marble is shot from

1t has been a sad handicap for the
small boy that at the opening Of the
marble season he has not been able
to play marbles more than four or
five hours per. day until his hands
got in trim from practice, but with
the use Of the new toy such training
is not at all necessary. He will be
