invested in it.
There never was great reject

so, and the Panama canal wilprove

Men living on the Atlantic coast

people. Every foot Of tillabR land

brought to use, and great citiS will
grow. The Pacific states will have
twenty million people. Mexicd will

All this will stimulate trade. a rast
deal of which will go through the

Besides this the trade with the

Will be developed and this will seek

MAXIM AFRAID OF HIS GUN.

Howard Maxim, who has just in
vented a noiseless flrearm, Is panic
stricken. He declares that he real
ICES the awful possibilities of this gun
and that his conscience is far from
easy. when you can discharge a
bullet" says he, with practically
the same velocity and accuracy as
with the old gun, and do 1t silently,
It Is evident that you have a very
dangerous possibility, Mr.. Maxim
fears that his invention will be taken
advantage OF first by those who have
no right to 1t, to be used with per-
feet adaptability in the art OF private
assassination. He wants congress to
control the invention and allow its
use only by the military and police
authorities.
Unquestionably Mr.. MaXim's in
ventlon may add a certain refinement
to the art OF taking life. The burglar
and strong arm men have been slow
to resort TO the use OF pistols because
OF the noise they make, says the
Rockford star. with a gun that will
do its work effectively and without
noise, the gpeatest obstacle to sue
cessful crime and secret assassination
will have been removed, and the
perils which crime brings upon hon
est folks, greatly increased,
But there Is a silver lining to the
cloud. II the Maxim invention Is as
dangerous as he would have us be-
lieve, It win serve to hasten legisla-
ton regulating the sale and use OF
firearms. Lawmakers OF the govern
ment and OF the states will have TO
take ccgnlzance OF the new danger
and It's possibilities for evil and adopt
stringent measures against carrying
concealed weapons. II will be ac-
cepted as a great instrument for good
II It results in labelling the man who
carries a pistol, in peaceable COM
as a public menace and sub
ject to the attention of the police.

WHAT FORESTRY HAS DONE.

An interesting pamphlet on What
Forestry Has Done" was recently is-
sued by the government. 1t con-
tains much valuable information Of
what other countries have done in
this direction, and much data that
may prove of vast benefit in promot-
ing the work OF forest preservation
in this country. Germany, for in
satnce, has been working on forest
preservation plans for $50 years.
The empire now has 55,O00,O0O acres
of forest, OF which 31,9 per cent be-
longs to the state, 1S per cent to
the crown, 1911 per cent TO commu-
mites, 46,5 per cent to individuals,
1.6 per cent to corporations and the
remainder to institutions and associa-
lions. Germany secures five-sixths Of
its vast timber supply from its own
forests without depicting them. The
rlgidly enforced regulations make 1t
impossible that the timber supply Of
the empire shall ever be less than it
is now. Switzerland has 100000
acres of forests, Norway has 90
100000 acres and Sweden has 50,-
100000 acres. Russia has $4,000
900 acres OF forest and has forest
preservation law that guarantees an
almost inexhaustible and never d.
minlshing supply OF timber not only
for home consumption, but for ex-
port. Japan has a forest policy that
is as old as the Christian era.
The United States is only awaken
ing to the Importance OF forestry.
Unfortunately, the awakening was so
long delayed that the richest forest
resources the world has known have
been well-nigh consumed as n tribute
to greed, The conditions make de-
termined and aggressive work imper-
alive to stay this wanton destruction
Of one of the nations greatest re-
sources and to institute the work of
demonstration as a precaution against
future need

THE CHILDREN'S TEETH AND
FUTURE HEALTH.

The Importance Of the proper care
OF the teeth is advocated as a subject
which should be impressed by the
teachers in the schools on every
child. on no one thing does the
future health OF the child depend In
greater degree.
Possibly few words to the teach
ers themselves on this subject would
not come amlss.
II is impossible TO eat a meal with
out having particles OF food collect
on or between the teeth, Unless
cleaned off this deposit constantly
grows and becomes decaylng mass
which often arrests disease germs
and encourages their growth until
they enter the system In such
quantity that II is impossible to
check the malady.
Another common and, IN fact, In
evitable result OF neglectlng to care
for the teeth Is the formation OF tar
tar. Tartar Is chemical element
entirely foreign 10 tho mouth, al
though II Is formed OF the union or
combination OF chemical elements In
the fluids OF the mouth and OF food
products. This strange chemical ele-
ment now reacts upon the fluids Of
the mouth, the saliva, killing much
OF IT'S force, robbing Il OF It's prop
erty OF rightly acting on the food
that is in the mouth In the act Of
chewing This food goes into the
stomach without having been prop
erly impregnated aud resolved by
the mouth fluids. The stomach
fluids cannot perform on the food
the chemical changes which should
have taken place in tho mouth; the
food not being prepared as nature
intended, resiets the action OF the
stomach fluids new chemical ele-
ments are formed, and dyspepsia Is
the result, II nothing worse,
The daily use OF toothbrush mot
too stiff and OF really good tooth
powder will prevent the deposit Of
this enemy to health, and be a sure
preventive OF this constant and very
deadly source OF stomach trouble

EASY FOR CHINANIEN.

There may be n sudden and strong
demand for rowboats throughout
Canada, especially at points that are
separated from the United States by
a narrow eXpanse Of water, If a re-
cent decision by a Michigan court is
upheld, This jurist ruled that a
Chinaman who came across from
Canada in rOwboat could stay in
this country, because the exclusion
law only forbids Cinnamon from COM
ing TO this country in vessel" and
a rowboat is not a vessel" 1t does
not appear that the Cinnamon really
needed this decision to help them
eyade the exclusion law.
