had taken place. He recovered the sew

and the bodies OF his son and Father
Aulneau, which he conveyed to the

country, so the United States is today
preparing to study and outline Haiti and
SantO Domingo, in anticipation of possi-
BILE troubles in that rich bit of terri
tory.
Cuba, Java, and Santo Domingo Haiti
have been commonly set down as the
most naturally rich and productive sec
tiOns OF the worlds surface. Java is
the richest today because 1t is the best
developed and exploited. Cuba Is going
to be the richest in the next generation
or two because 1t is going to be even
more scientifically developed and ex-
plotted than Java ever was. But Santo
Domingo Is destined IN it's day TO be the
most valuable limited piece of realty on
earth, according to people who know
most about Il; and the eye Of Uncle
Sam is on it right now.
Probably the Island OF jamaica is the
richest tract of tropical country IN the
world. as now organized and managed.
1t is owned by England, and farmed by
tenants of Englands landlords. But IL
is something like one-tenth the size or
Santo Domingo and besides that 1t is
not naturally so rich. The truth is
that there are syndicates standing
around-Germany, the United Kingdom,

Dan Cupid again has the laugh on the Kaiser,
his matchmaking friend, who likes to have a hand
in the love-makngs and marryings of the German
princes who are almost as numerous as Italian
counts and equally hard to control.
Now it's Prince Joachim Albrecht Won Preus-
sen, of the royal house Of Hohenzollen, who has
taken the bit in his teeth and contracted mesal-
lance with an actress-a divorced woman at that.
The step will cost him a cool $4,O00,000. But what
does he carel He is consumed by a passion that
laughs at a fortune, scoffs at tradition, and risks
everything-even his rank in the army and at
the imperial court-for the ore woman.

Iron and Wood.

So much has been said OF late re.
garding the depletion of our forests
that the impression may he created
that we are passing into Il position
unique among nations of not having
any timber supply of our own. Such
is distinctly not the case. says the Iron
Trade Review. However serious may
he the present rate of drain upon our
forests, if there is any uniqucncss in
our position among nations it is that
of still having an immense area of I'M
touched timber land. 1t is not that our
forests, as Il natural supply to ma
ton. have become small. but that the
present area is small compared to that
which once existed. We are driven
toward forestry not because the sup
ply is scnnt, as such supplies go
throughout the world, but because we
have been tending rapidly toward the
position of being reduced TO the level
of the older nations.
The talk of n famine in any commod-
ity is useful 10 bring about measures
of economy and conservation, declares
the Review, and continues:
But as regards either wood or iron in
the United States there is not the least
occasion for alarm. Scientific forestry
can easily ovcrtakc the diminution which
is now occurring in the timber supply
with n most ample area on which to
work to grow for the future a vastly
larger annual supply per capita than
readily sutiiccs for Germany, while on the
other hand the utilization of our lower
grade iron ores can easily supply Il great
cr quantity of iron than can possibly be
put into use, with all the growth in popu-
lation which the country is otherwise ca
pablo of supporting.
1t is not question of famine or cX
haustion in the one commodity or in the
other. 1t is Il question of prospective
needs and of prospective cost to supply
those needs. Scientific forestry cannot
produce wood as chCaply as 1t has been
sold. y higher standard of value for
wood must prevail whom 1t is grown
through the active effort of man than
when 1t is cut down. possibly for the chief
ton. A higher standard of value for iron
now prevails when the necessity Is faced
of working lower grade ores than pre-
vailed when ore almost up to the thco-
rctical standard of excellence was being
mined with no thought of possible ex-
haustion.
