GRANTING PATENTS.

HOW WE CELEBRATED
INDEPENDENCE DAY.

From Ell Paso Herald.
Among the Independence day pleas
antries were the throwing of a can
non cracker into a crowd, blowing to
pieces a little boys arm, shoulder
and jaw, and manning three other
people; the blowing of a street car
20 feet off the track by dynamite on
the rail; the serious %wounding of a
man By a bullet descending after hav-
ing been fired in the air. by a cele-
brant; the binding of an old soldier
By boys who were shooting Roman
candles at ~passersby; these are a
few of the things that happened in
Indiana. In Chicago a mother sitting
in her own doorway with her two lit
tie children, was instantly killed by
a STRAY bullet" At Stockwell, Ind,
f~re-crackers thrown under the feet
OF a team of horses caused a runaway
resulting in the death Of a woman n
her daughter. Casualties so far re-
ported number 125 deaths and 5000
wounded.

Preserving Pine Timber.

Until recently loblolly pine was looked
upon as almost worthless for lumber.
The trunk is mostly sapwood. subject
to quick decay. In clearing loblolly
land the wood which could not be dis
posed of for fuel, was usually burned
on the ground. Recently. however, a
new value has been given to that neg
lected timber Experiments and tests
By the United States Forest Service
show that many neglected woods may
be treated with creosote and other pre-
servatives, and be rendered immune to
decay for many years. Loblolly pine
Yields to the treatment in the most sat
isfactory manner. A wide field of use
fuluess is open to it. The burning lob
Jolly logheap will soon be thing of the
past. The preservative treatment,
which is cheap and not difficult, makes
this wood suitable for cross-ties, mine
timbers. telephone poles. pilinP and
many other purposes.
Business men have quickly seen posi-
bilities for this old field pine A few
years ago the grown-up land down on
the peninsula, could scarcely find buy
err at one or two dollars an acre. No
body wanted it. To-day it is held at
five or ten dollars. The timber gives
part of this increased value. the land it,
self gives the balance. The soils long
rest in the shade has partly restored its
fertility, and Industrious settlers from
the West, the North. and from Europe
are buying it for homes. The old
plantations will be cleared again, not
as plantations but as little farms. and
the cycle will be complete from forest
to field, from field to forest. and from
forest back to field again.
In view of the threatened timber
famine in this country, the suggestion
has been made that the old plantations
of the South might properly be permit
ted to relapse into woods in Natures
way, and grow timber. The wisdom of
that policy Is questionable. In the
first place. the land thus growing up is
usually we'll situated for farming. and
its fertility can be restored by artificial
means. 1t should produce farm crops.
But the bulk of the country's timber
ought to grow on rough and steep land
fit for little else. Generally. forests
should occupy mountain tops and steep
slopes, pasture the more gentle slopes,
and the plains and valleys ought to be
reserved for the plow But even if the
old southern plantations are to be given
over to timber growing. it is poor
econemoy to have them overrun with
inferior species as at present. Good
kinds should be planted white pine, oak,
ash, poplar. and others suited to the
climate and soil. 1t is as easy TO grow
good timber as poor and immensely
more profitable.
