to be the ore amazing on recount Of
the contention that most. TX not all OF
the weak points he emphasizes, will be
acknowledged by sea-going officers, "or,

His principal points are the follow

That the shell-pEoof armor of the

low the water line where it will do no
good. leaving the broad side of the ves-
Sci exposed to the shells Of the enemy.
That this defect has been pointed

4,OOO,OOO Chrtntmas Trees . Year.
In discussing the effect on the forests
of the country by the use of Christmas
trees, of which it is estimated that AGO.
600 are used each year, Clifford Pinchot,
United States forester, says that the ef-
feet is infnitesimal compared with the de-
struction caused by forest fires and waste
full numbering. If planted four feet apart
these trees would be grown ON less than
1,4OO acres. He says that trees suitable
for Christmas trees do not grow in the
old forests, where reproduction is most
important, but in the open, and there is
n, more reason for an cutlery against
using land to grow Christmas trees than
to grow flowers. According to Mr.. Pin
chot, the center of the Christmas tree in
dustry lies in the big cities of the East.
New York City and the New England
States consume 100000 trees, or nearly
OF all the output. Maine, New
Hampshire. the Berkshire Hills, in Mas.

do that very work.
President Wilson Of Princeton, in q
bold address before the convention OF the
Association of Colleges and Preparatory
Schools Mt New York, got after the pre-

u~cation, that w have forgotten to assem-
bic its elements, and that we have forgot.

as distinguished from technical training,

That, without regard to the protests

An Old Story.

81 haven't any chance" he said; ''the
world has closed the door
OF opportunity chat opened unto men
Of yore.
The songs have all been sung. The
mighty tasks are carried through.
The world, no longer young, leaves
nothing more for youth to dop'
And he watched the steamship hasten
on it's journey far away
To lands that oped their treasures to
us only yesterday.
He saw the locomotive as it labored
hard for speed,
Its efforts insufficient for a waiting
public's need.
He heard the voices calling from the
wilderness SO deep,
"Come We, with hearts of courage;
come and waken from their sleep
The harvests that for centuries have
waited meath our soil,
Impatient for the CHEEKY call of com
mon sense and toll.
The air is all a-whisper with the mes
sages that fly
To tell Of years more wondrous than
the wondrous years gone by.
And still he cries, 81 have no chance!"
and still the world sweeps on.
Nor heeds the plant that it has heard
since ages past and gone.
