SENATOR SHOOTS
REPORT ON FORESTS.
Continued from page one.o

our present need, and with it con-
serve the usefulness of our streams
for irrigation. water supply, nayiga-
ton, and power.
Under right management, our for
SITS will yield over four times as much
as now. We can reduce waste In the
woods and In the mill at least one
third, with present as we'll rs fu-
ture profit. We can perpetuate the
naval stores industry. Preseryativel
treatment will reduce by one-tifth the
quantity of timber used in the water
or in the ground. We can practically
stop forest fires at a total yearly
cost Of one-flfth value of the stand
ing timber burned each year, not
counting young growth.
We shall suffer for timber to meet
our needs, until our forests have had
time to grow again. But il we act
vigorously and at once, we shall es.
cape permanent timber scarcity.
WHAT MUST BE DONE.
For each million acres of forest in
public ownership, over three million
are privately owned. The conserva-
ton of public forests is the smaller
task before tho nation and the states.
The larger task is to induce private
forest owners, which means three
million men, to take care of what they
have. and to teach wood users, winch
means every one, how not to waste.
Ii these things are done, they VIII
conserve our streams as well as our
forests. If they are not done, the use
fitness of our streams will decrease
no less than the usefulness of our
forests.
We must stop forest fires. BY care
full logging, we must reduce waste
and leave cut-over lands productive.
We must make the timber logged SO
further, by preservative treatment
and by avoiding needless loss In the
mill, the factory, and in use. we
must plant up those lands now tree
less which will be most useful under
forest We must so adjust taxation
that cut-over lands can be held FOR a
second crop. We must recognize that
timber costs no less to grow than
1T does to log and saw.
We must continue and perfect py
state and nation, tho preservation by
use of forests already publicly owned;
and we must extend 1t to other noun
tain forests more valuable for the
permanent benefit of the many than
for the temporary profit of rev.
In a general discussion to the report
which followed, the governors of several
states generally pledged themselves to
cooperation with the federal govern
ment in. a practicable scheme for the
conservation of the national forests

President Has Enjoyed Himself in
High Office.

On the eve Of his departure for Oyster
Bay for his summer vacation the Presi-
dent was today reminded that he perhaps
of all men had fairly earned a rest to
which he replied briefly and cheerily:
do not waste any sympathy on me. I
have enpoyed every minute of my stay
here, and my thanks are due to the Amer
lean people and not theirs to me for the
opportunity l have had to serve them. I
have had a perfectly corking time" he
added. with a characteristic Roosevelt

PENNSY STATION TO Be RAzED
PRESIDENT EMPHATICALLY
WISHES 1T, SAYS TAFT.
Secretary Of War Gives Directions
for a Hurry-Up Job Of Re
moving Structures

The old historic Pennsylvania railroad
station at 9Th and B streets. where Presi-
dent Garfield received his mortal wound
will soon be thing of the past.
For some unexplained reason President
Roosevelt desires to have that building
and all Of its appurtenances removed from
the Mall as soon as it possibly can be
done.
Secretary Taft yesterday afternoon. de-
spite his great personal interest in more
momentous events in progress at Chi
cago, wrote a short order to Col Brom-
we'll. engineer officer in charge of public
buildings and grounds. instructing him to
see that the Presidents wishes were car
ried into effect with as little delay as pos
sible.
Col. Bromwell was specifically directed
to revoke the licenses previously issued
by the War Department granting permis-
sion for the use Of the old passenger sta
ton for storage of exhibits of the Amer
lean Street and Interurban Railway Asso-
citation and Manufacturers Association,
and also for the storage of the exhibits
Of the International tuberculosis congress.
The railway association is to meet in
this city in September. The tuberculosis
congress will assemble here in the fol-
lowing month.
Secretary Taft accompanied his instruc-
tons with the statement that 1.-The Presf-
dent is emphatic in his desire that this be
DONE
The plans Of Col Bromwell contemplate
that the work Of removing the old struc-
lures shall begin about the middle Of
July. He will at once advertise for pro-
posals for the sale and the removal Of
these buildings. II no satisfactory bid is
received Col. Bromwell will hire a force
of laborers and have the buildings torn
down and removed under his own super
vision.
1t IS explained that inasmuch as the
work Of demolition can hardly be COM
menced. under the circumstances. before
the middle of next month. it will not be
necessary to revoke the permit issued to
Israel Ludlow. the inventor, to store his
aeroplane in the train shed Of the station
during the short time he will need 1t for
that purpose in the early part Of July.

Many Urged His Appointment.

In appointing him the President was
Influenced somewhat by the desire to
recognize in an emphatic way the fact
that there is no longer any deviding line
between the north and the south. and
that all good Americans are in thought
and deed one, and the President was in
fluenced still more by the fact that Gov
Wrights personal attributes and expert
ence pre-eminently tit him for this partic-
ular position.
AS Philippine commissioner, and later as
vice governor and governor. he won the
affection and regard of the army to a
high degree. and many of the most dis
tinguiShed men who served in the army
at the time he was in the Philippines have
urged his appointment because they felt
he was in peculiar way their champion
and to peculiar degree understood them
and their needs. This is especially true
as regards the men who were Union vet
Grams of the civil war. for these grew to
feel that he was always specially interest
ed in their welfare.
legal ability peculiarly fits him TO deal with
the problems in the Philippines, Panama
and Cuba; for the work of the War De-
partment is now such that only a man
with special fitness and unusual training
Is able to do justice to it. OF all the men
in the country the President feels that

Rests on His Laurels.

Herr Won Moser, the celebrated
German poet, whose body has just
been cremated at Gotha. had in his
possession some years before his
death a miniature coffin made OF
crystal destined to receive his
ashes. In this coffin were con.
tanned a number of withered
leaves of laurel, each of which had
been plucked from me or other Of
the wreaths offered him by admir-
ers. The explanation of this was
to be found in the often-repeated
jest of the poet: 81 shall repose
upon my laurels." This prophecy
has now been actually realized.

CURIOUS SENSES OF REPTILES
Surprising Power to Divine the Pres

ence of Far Distant Water.
Prof. Werner, of Vienna, a r"t.
uralist of note, has reported the
results of observations he has
been making for some time OF the
senses of the inferior vertebrates,
and he has reached some curious
and surprising conclusions.
The professor took all possible
precautions not to let the crea-
lures know what they were
watched. One general factis very
evident, that reptiles and am
phibians are strongly attracted
BY water. They go straight to-
ward it, even when they are at dis
tances so great that they could
not divine it's presence by any of
the senses known to us. 1t seems
really that a sense of which we
have no knowledge informs them
of the direction in which water
may be found. There seems to be
a sort of chemical attraction, says
NJ. Werner. But how does this
act, and on what part of the crea-
ture? This remains a mystery.
Reptiles also seek the light, but
independently Of heat. ~

CURIOUS LUGGAGE.
Bits Of Baggage That Identity Some

Prominent Travellers.
Nearly every one who travels
much has a piece of baggage pc
culiar to himself. When one is an
ordinary citizen this is allowable.
and no annoyance follows but in
the case of aprominentmanevery.
one is consumed with curiosity to
know what is in. the peculiar
piece of baggage.
Some time ago, when on duty
at the station, says an exchange,
noticed a plain, square deal box,
about a foot in length and six or
seven inches in depth, among the
luggage of the prince and princess
of Wales at Paddington.
The box was fastened by n
black hoop and padlocked, and in.
quiries revealed the fact that the
box is nearly always noticed
among the portmanteaus and
other impedimenta of the prince
of Wales when his royal highness
travels. The box is stamped on
the cover with a black royal coro-
net, and what it contains has fire.

Most railway porters are ia.

yellow-looking box, about four
feet in length, that generally ac-
companies Mr.. Balfour on his
journey. Various conjectures
have been made as to what the box
might contain. Some have
hazarded the guess that it covers
the premier's golf sticks, and
others have suggested that the
box is obviously one which con.
talns many a secret in immediate
connection with the welfare of the
great empire. Mr.. Balfour always
keeps a close eye on it.

round black tin case, about two
feet in length, fastened at one end
by a paddock.
The contents of this mysterious
looking case, which for some time
excited a great deal of curiosity
among different railway officials,
were one day exposed to view, and
all mystery in connecticA with the
case ceased. The top by some
means fell off one day whilst tho

Boiling Kettles Without Coal.

Every day in London scores of
workmen's kettles are boiled in
lime that will afterwards be used
for its proper purpose. just be.
fore the breakfast hour, say, one
of the workmen empties a guam
tity of the dry lime from a sack.
In the center of this lime he makes
a hole, and into it water is poured.
Then he puts his kettles into the
water, and in a few minutes the
kettles boil. In thousands oil
cases a fire is thus spaced.
