farsighted resolution in the people to
take no rest from agitation until ad-
equate measures have been enacted to
preserve our rmaining florists and re-
store those which have been wantonly
and barbariously destroyed. The pres-
ervation OF the forests, the mainte-
nance of soil fertility and the naviga
ton of inland waters are subjects
which are connected In the most init
mate relation. Mr.. Roosevelt reyerts
with suitable distain to the ignorant
opinions of certain military engineers
tnat the navigation Of rivers is not
concerned with the preservation of
the forests about their headwaters. He
reiterates the truth, which no weil-in-
formd person would think of disputing.
tnat there can be no suhc thing as a
permanently navigable river without
forests to hold the rainfall and dis
tribute 1t throughout the seasons.

upon this subject of forest preserva-
ton are numerous, perfectly well

Freight shipped to merchants east
Of the Mississippi must be plainly
marked with the name and address of
the consignee hereafter, according to a
recent decision of the railroad compa.
u1es. 1t has been the practice of manu-
.facturers to mark the goods with a
hieIoglyphic, partly to save time in
shipments, and partly to prevent spies
from competitors learning who their
customers are. This practice has made
it difficult for the railroad companies
TO deliver the goods. One company is
said to have lost fifteen hundred thou
sand dollars in the last ten years, be-
cause it has had to reimburse shippers
for goods lost on the road. Goods in
carload lots may go marked in cipher
as heretofore, as it is not difficult to
deliver car at the point to which it is
billed. E

rhe tuberculosis connrsss.

Few things which mark the modern
progress of civilization have advanced
so rapidly as knowledge of the nature
and durability of tuberculosis. The
decision of physicians that the disease
is not hereditary has lifted a burden
OF dread from thousands of hearts, and
the success of methods of treatment in
tho carly stages of the disease has
brought hope to thousands of others.
But far more important than this has
been, and will be, the work of bringing
about an understanding of the dangers
of the disease and impressing the ne.
eessity Of precautions. From Septem-
Der Fl to October IL the United States
VIII be the host of the international
congress on tuberculosis, which is to
meet in Washington. Mr.. Roosevelt
has lately accepted 1.-THE presidency of
the congress. The occasion will I'M
doubtedly be the most important event
that has yet occurred in the fight
against the dread disease. The con-
vention will bring together the most
noted experts OF the world, and meth
DDS Of treatment and prevention which
have shown the best results will be
illustrated. 1t will be as interesting
to the layman as to the physician, for
in the stamping out of consumption
much of the workswill have to be done
by laymen-officers of state and city
governments, the police, boards of
health and private citizens, 1t is to be
hoped, says the Youths Companion,
that the congress will also do some
thing to allay the groundless fear
which many persons have of anyone
known to be suffering from tubercu-
losis-an attitude which frequently
renders it impossible to secure the
most desirable sites for treatment
camps or hospitals, and often results
in grave injustice, If not actual cruel
~, to the individual. If due precau-
ton is observed, isolation is in no way
necessary. This, indeed, is the chief
lesson which those most familiar with
the matter are trying to impress.

Corn is getting to be one of the
great products Of the world, although
The United States has the first call.
The uses to which corn may be put
are rapidly increasing in number. Max

dation OF an important industry, and
a New York concern, finding the Amer.
lean supply petering out, is importing
stock from Argentina. But there is
promise OF bumper yield in our corn

run at still liveIier rate when the

Another national park is likely to be
added to the domains OF the United
States at the next session of congress.
The senate committee on public lands
has reported in favor of taking the
wild and beautiful glacier region of
the continental divide in Montana
tract comprising nearly a million
acres. The region contains numerous
peaks from 5000 to 10000 feet in
height, and about 60 glaciers. The
large number of big game animals,
such as Rocky mountain white goats.
bighorn, grizzly, deer, elk and moose,
suggests the value of reserving the
tract as a breeding-ground for the sur
rounding region. The name proposed
is the Glacier National park.
