HILLS FOR FORESTS.

The state forester of California reports that
he has an unusually large number Of inqui-
ries regarding the proper methods of planting
forest lands. Lumber companies, land corpor-
ations and private individuals are showing
keen interest in the possibilities Of profit in
growing timber, and are asking advice as to
the best way to go about it.
There has been an astonishing neglect of
opportunities lying at the door Of great num-
Der Of land owners in the state There is
vast acreage of land in California that is use
less for raising cultivated crops, and Of small
value for pasture. The coast counties are coz!

been proved at hundreds of points that these

Bitters and his balloons are won- But he. is only dog after all That wolf means to stay here until he is killed. If you help your noble dog yod can soon corner the furry ma rauder. But if you leave the job to the unassisted intelligence of Bitters you will be mourning the down tall and disgrace ond the noble crea- ture
 At first Jedekiah was inclined to listen to my words of kindly warn ing. He got out his rife and started to accompany Bitters on hunting ex- petition after the old wolf Then he noticed that there had been quite a fall of snow, making the walking bad, and Jedekiah changed his mind.
 :" It would hurt the feelings of my esteemed Bitters, he said decidedly, putting up his rife and returning to his seat in front of the fire, if I should go with him. He would think to kill any wolf in the North Woods
 50 Jedekiah sent Bitters after the wolf. Bitters, having unlimited con- fidence in his own ability, was perfect ly willing to undertake the job
 But the old wolf had been taking a whirl at the thinking game on his own account He evidently appreciat- ed that it was the balloons which enabled Bitters to make such speed, and somehow he also appreciated the fact that a little touch of fire would destroy the balloons. And the sly old animal laid his plans accordingly.
 "The wolf showed himself as soon as Bitters was clear of the house. Bit ters gave chase. The wolf ran up the side of the mountain, heading to where party of lumbermen had left camp fire burning. He made dash over the fire, which was only blazing slightly. Bitters was close behind him and went over the fire, too Then there was little puff, a blaze of flame as the balloons took fire, and Bitters seemed to lose interest in the chase after the wolf. Instead he roll ed over on the snow and howled. Then he looked at the charred shreds of what had been the covers of the bal looms. He was the most astonished

wolf hunting game. He used to track the wolves with dogs, and then when the wolf was cornered shoot it. But there was one part of the business he looked on with growing distaste, and that was the fact that Jedekiah Will Hams had to do considerable trudging through the woods to capture each wolf
 Dogs being the natural enemies of wolves Jedekiah said thoughtfully to me one day, it seems as if there ought to be some way in which they could be taught to kill the wolves and bring the bodies back home In that way the time I spend blithely chasing over hills and dales after big gray wolves might be devoted to the ad vancement of the human race, or at any rate to the comfort of Jedekiah Williams. And there would be good money in it for me- he added. pen sively.
 You have no call to blame your poor dogs I told him. They're will ing to catch wolves and bring the bodies home The trouble is that the dogs that can run fast enough to catch a wolf aren't strong enough to kill one. while the fighting dogs that could kill wolf cant catch one
 While Jedekiah and were dis cussing the problem, Bitters came strolling up. Bitters was cross be- tween bulldog and wolf-hound. When it came to a fight Bitters was

An Excellent Waitress.

Nurses in training have many hard ships to bear, but perhaps none is worse than having to appear cheerful under all conditions. A sense of hu- nor is perhaps as great an asset as nurse can have, for 1t will help her over many a difficulty.
 The daughter of wealthy man be- came imbued with tho desire to know how to earn her own living, and to that end she entered one of the large New York hospitals as nurse. The work was to her liking. and, as she looked on the bright side of every thing, she was generally in happy frame of mind.

PHILADELPHIA TO ESTABLISH 4
 GREAT AQUARIUM.

 Will Be Made Most Of.


 great fish show is one of the ad dit1onal attractions which the city of Philadelphia proposes to add to her already long list of places which the visitor to the Pennsylvania metropolis will want to visit, and if present plans are carried out the new aquarium will be ready to open next June. The history of the movement for the es- tablishment of such an exhibit ex- tends back for about a dozen years. when the present commissioner Of fisheries was statistician of the state fsh commission. In the annual re- ports of the commission, which ceased to exist about four years ago, when the department of fisheries, with commissioner at it's head, was formed. the suggestion for an aquarium was yearly referred to by MT Meehan. He Knew Of the aquarium in the United States bureau of fisheries, at Wash 1ngton; of the interesting aquarium in New York and of the really superior aquarium maintained in Detroit. Philadelphia, in his mind, should have an aquarium, too, for few states, ex- cepting those bordering on the At lantfc coast, have expended so much money and care on building up the fisheries as has Pennsylvania during the last 37 years, and Philadelphia, as the Pennsylvania metropolis, was the place where it should be established.
 For the last 40 years Europe has maintained half dozen aquaria, some of which have won a worldwide fame, especially among biological students There is one in Paris, in the Troca. dero. not so important as it once was Berlin also has an aquarium, whi6h, like the one in Paris, is ar ranged with picturesque grotto sur roundings. The principal aquarium, however, is the Stazione Zoologica of Naples, where, by the way, Director Wilson, of the Commercial museums, made researches when he was a stu dent about 30 years ago. The Amster dam aquarium is one of the most re- cent of the great aQuaria on the con- tinent. It is an adjunct to the zoolog- ical gardens and the immense build ing is situated beside the latter The aquarium at Brighton, Eng, is one of the largest and most beautiful aquaria in Europe. It is operated, however, with annexes, like theater and res taurant, but is admirably maintained, and during the summer is one of the attractions of the English watering place.
 The first attempt toward the ac- quisition of an aquarium made by the city of Philadelphia was in 1897.

DID SERVICE AT BUNKER HILL.
Maine Man Owns Musket That Was
 Used in Historic Conflict.

Alonzo Smith of Skowhegan, Me, has an old gun, which was used in the battle of Bunker Hill, 131 years ago. Many who fought on the American side on the 17th of June afterward went to Maine to settle, among them Billy Smith, private in the Second New Hampshire regiment MT. Smith, the great-grandfather of Alonzo Smith of Skowhegan, settled in Cornville in 1790, and his grave is in the orchard on farm near where his grandson, Clark E. Smith, now lives. The mus ket which Billy Smith carried at Bun ker Hill was among his effects brought to Cornville; and on his death passed into the hands of his son, David. and was by him bequeathed to his grand son, Sylvester Smith. A few years ago, when Sylvester left for the west, he gave the famous old musket to Sylvester Smith of Skodhegan, who now treasures 1t as family heirloom

JAPAN IS RAPIDLY INCREASING
 FIGHTING STRENGTH AT SEA.
Within Three Years She Will Have Grand Total of Fifteen Battle ships-Several of Them Recon
 structed Russian Ships.

Japan IS busy tinkering with her battleships, and the next two or three years will mark the greatest period of expansion in her sea-fghting strength which she has known in the short but remarkable history of the Japanese navy. However, those thor oughly acquainted with the naval re- sources of the little island kingdom declare that the completion of the present construction and reconstruc- tlon work will not make it particu- larly strong instrument of offense. De fensively it is now powerful, and aided by isolation and other clements in the calculation of war, seems to insure complete protection from act ual invasion to the nation which it guards.
 There are built. building or repair ing. 13 battleships, 13 armored cruis- CTS, about 60 cestroyers, nine sacondclass cruisers. good sized squadron of coast defenders, large iotilla of torpedo craft, and great fleet of dispatch. supply, transport and auxiliary vessels, all of which could be placed in service by the early part of 1909
 But to these figures must be ap- piled the discounts of age. and the strength and value of some of the reconstructed prizes. For instance, the battleship Fuji was laid down 12 years ago and belongs to type thar is rapidly becoming obsolete, and four more of the 13 battleships counted in the first line were raised from the waters of Port Arthur after Gen. Stoessel surrendered. Two of the Russian battleshirs, the Orel, cap tured in the Tsushima battle, and the Retvisan, now the Hizen, are unques- tionably able ships, but the Peresviet, Pobieda and Poltava, now the Sag
