Liability For Accidents.

decision of great Importance and interest to ali

KELLOGG. of the New York Supreme Court, in di-
rectng the jury to acquit Mr.. Alfred H. Smith
general manager and vice president of the New York
Central Railroad, of the charge of manslaughter IN
the second degree, says editorial in 4 railway
publication Mr. Smith had been indicted in con-
nection with the Brewster express wreck Ill Febru-
arv last when twenty-four persons were killed and
large number injured. The express was deralled
at the Woodawn bridge curve, and it was commended
bv the State that the vice president of the road had
been guilty of criminal negligence in his manage
ment of the road in that he did not provide for con-
ditions which would have made this accident i'm
possible Justice Kellogg in his decision held that
there was no proof of personal negligence on Mi
Smiths part: on the contrary the Justice pointed
ot the evidence clearly showed that he had efficiently
nerformed the duties Of general manager, and that
anv responsibility for the accident lay with his sub
ordinates On the ground that Mr.. Smith could only

Named BY Irving.

Chicago News: Gotham" was first applied to the
city of Manhattan in book of humorous sketches
called "Salmagundi,' written about 1907 by Wash
ington Irving in collaboration with his brother Peter
and the poet Paulding. 1t was intended to suggest
that the people of New York made undue preten-
tons to wisdom.
Gotham was parish in Nottinghamshire, Eng
land. The old story tells how King John wished
to pass through the parish The people there, fancy
ing that the passage of the King route made
it public road, decided to prevent the transit by
pretending to be crazy.
When the King and his party arrived they found
every one of the inhabitants employed in some pc
culiar1y foolish task. Thus, group joining
hands around thorn bush to keep cuckoo from
getting away, trying to drown an eel,
others dipping water with sieve, and so on. When
the King saw these performances he swore at the
people for being a pack of idiots, and turning de-
parted with all his retinue. The Gothamites
delighted with the success of their scheme for turn
ing aside the King, regarding it superatively
clever.
After this Gotham came to have the reputation of
being sort of headquarters for conceited fools. In
the time of Henry VIII a book entitled "The Merry
Tales of the Mad Men of Gotham" published.
Among these was the story of the "Three Wise
Men of Gotham one of whose exploits was to go
to sea in bowl

Uses of Timber.

Figures based upon statistics of forest products IN
1906 compiled by the Census Bureau and the Forest
Service show that three times much timber is
used for lumber as for all the other items combined
Next to lumber come shingles requiring CD per cent
as much timber as is used for lumber; hewn cross
ties require approximately the same amount DO
nestle pulp wood takes 4.3 per cent as much timber
as is used for lumber and in addition large quaint
ties of pulp wood are imported. Cooperage stock
and round mine tinbers require approximately equal
quantities of timber; laths take per cent, WOOD
used for dstillaon II per cent, veneer O9 per cent
and poles O.6 per cent of the quantity USED 1or
lumber. The total quantity of timber used annually
for lumber and the other products mentioned above
is equivalent to approximately 5O0Oo,oOO,OOo board
feet
In the cut of lumber by species in 1906 yellow pine
is far in the lead, furnishing 81 per cent or tne
total amount Douglas fir comes second with l3.@
per cent; white pine third, with 1872 per cent; hei
lock fourth, with 94 per cent, and oak flfth VIII
rs per cent Spruce and Western pine furnish IF
per cent and 81 per cent respectively lhese seven
kinds of timber furnish four-lfth OF the tota
and no other kind reaches 1000 feet OF lu1
Der annually. Under lumber is included sawed rail-
road cross ties. ,1
The three kinds of lumber which are most iargecy
exported are yellow pine, redwood and DouglaS Ill.,

the first going principally to Europe and the others
most largely to Australia, the Orient and South
America In 1906 the expectations of yellow pine
amounted to about per cent of the total cut of
yellow pine lumber, that of redwood to over per
per cent and that of Douglas fir to nearly per
cent of the cut. Considering all kinds the exports
of heWn and sawed timber and lumber amounted to
about per cent of the total lumber production in
1906
The lumber cut by States in 1906 was: Washing
ton lis per cent Louisiana IA per cent, Wscon-
sin 60 per cent Michigan SO "er cent Eleven
other States cut billion feet each. The
fifteen States which cut over billion feet each in
1906 supplied nearly threefourths of the total pro-
ducton.
In 1880 nine States-Mchigan Pennsylvania, Wis
consn, New York. Texas, Arkansas, Washington,
Mississippi, Louisiana-produced 52S per cent of the
total amount, and in 1906 SIS per cent practically
equal proportions but the changes which have taken
place in the output of individual States very
striking. Michigan for instance cut % per cent of
the total in 1880 and but Sc per cent in 1906 Louis
lana cut or per cent of the total in 1880 and IA
per cent in 1906 Washington furnished but 90 per
cent of the lumber production of 1880 and lis per
cent of that of 1906. The cutting out of the virgin
timber in the North and East has been followed by
increased drains upon the forest resources OF the
South and West.
In 1906 the soft wood cut over four times
the hard wood cut. There has been very decided
change in the ratio of hard woods to soft woods in
recent years. In 1899 the hard woods furnished
nearly 25 per cent of the total, against less than
1875 per cent in 1906. This has been caused by
greatly increased cut of certain soft woods together
with strong decrease in leading hard woods. In
the last seven years yellow pine has increased 20.7
per cent Western pine 1863 per cent cypress 693 per
cent, redwood 1872 per cent, and Douglas fir 1862
per cent, which far than counterbalances the
decrease of 4O,8 per cent in white pine. On the
other hand the cut of the two most important hard
woods oak and poplar has decreased 1874 per cent
and 387 per cent respectively, in the same period
The total lumber production has more than dou-
bed since 1880, and it is probably safe to- say that
could wholly complete statistics be obtained at least
4OOOOOOOOOO feet would be shown at present. The
many substitutes for wood that have been proposed
and to some extent used have not essened the de-
mand for lumber, as is shown by the fact that the
per capita consumption 800 board feet in 1880
and 44O board feet in 1906. However, the rate Of
increase in lumber production has been very small
in recent years, which indicates that the maximum
cut for the country whole has been nearly if not
quite reached

Photography In Colors.

The Century: Color photography proves incon-
testab1y the general truth of Monet's observation
that in shadows, co1ors continue their vibrations,
weakened but still existent, in contradistincton to
the practice of the academic painters in making burnt
umber and lamp black serve shadows in their
nantngs 1t also proves that the color of flesh is not
ALWAYS rose color, the color of foliage not always
green or the color of tabecoth not always white,
and that color may be brilliant indeed sparklngly
vivid-without being a patriotic demonstration in
red. white and blue and that what has long been
accepted as tone" in painting, that much coveted
and widely exploited golden amber glow, does not
exist in nature, which is wholly innocent of such
petty subterfuges with which to harmonic its dis
cordant elements, being frankly and batanty crude
when it is not exquistely harmonious in the case
of the butterfy's wing The artist is the divine
angler who fishes out these harmonies revealing
somewhat of the wondrous beauty and mystery of
nature 1t demonstrates for the first time scentih-
caly that there is fixed color whatever, that OBJ
ecs have color of their own, but solely that which
is impaired to them by the reflection of the sky and
the enve1oping atmosphere.
Color photography also shows that the line, as
drawing defines it, is error an artificial means
of determining forms; that everything in nature is
succession of perspective planes and surfaces which
join to one another that nothing IS abruptly
terminated by contour; and that the vibrations OF
tie atmosphere enVelOp everything ODHleIdle
contours which the weakness of Our mind is con-
strained to create In a word, color photography
ushers in new in the study of color that PROM
ses to revolutionize color printing and that will
surely exert most important influence the art
of painting, establishing it does the soundness
Of the much abused theories Of the impressionists.
Moreover it will prove invaluable aid to the &C
curate study of disease, notably skin diseases; it
will make possible art lectures illustrated with abso
lutte fascimi1es of the paintings discussed by means
of lantern slides; and for the first time ndsputaby
authentic family portraits can be produced OF a
beauty and veracity far surprising the most delicate
and mastery miniature and this in the short space
OF talf an hour, avoiding the tedium of repeated
sittirgs. While color photography will undoubtedly
painting, rendering it inutile and ridiculous
than ever it will also open the eyes of all intelll-
gent and unpreudiced students of contemporary art
the beauty and truth of the work done by certain
ruodern painters combining in no uncertain terms
what is best and most expressive in the art of today
