But the standing of the paper which makes the announcement, combined @itb what se xnO~ of San Prsrciso methods. makes US anxious 10 know more of the matter.
 san Frsociso has barbored Bubonic plague for years. And for years San FrsDciso denied the existence of the scourge. The story of The 6ght for secrecy. of the dismissal of health officers who insisted upon doing their duty, and of the final open campaign against rats and other carriers of the plague bas been written and so lar az known TO one has been sued for libel.
 But sfe impression had become gen. sraI that San Francisco Hss making progress in is fight. Now comes sbe assertion that is has been losing ground. that ihe danger is becoming greater. If snis is true, the country should know is, that k may begin q campaign calculated to produce re- suits.

 THE TIMBER SUPPLY,

A very remarkable estimate has been sent out hy the United States It is in relation to the supply and consumption of timber in that country. The figures show very great variety, bus all the eA perts. who have made calculation agree that the supply is only good fes comparatively few years The low, est estimate is only thirteen years. ths highest, twenty-three. We quote from an abstract of the report: The importance of this census lies largely in the fact that it will give an accn- rate basis for computing how long our timber supplies will last The consensus of opinion among those equipped to judge is the annual con- sumption is about loo, 00o. 0o, Ooo board feet or something more than that. One leading authority has olac- ed it as high as l5o. oooO. 0O0. 0O0 board feet
 Assuming a stumpage of l. iGo, 0o0. : 0pO. 0O0 fees. an annual usa of loo. : ooO. opo. OO0 feet, and neglecsing growth in the calculation. the exaustion of our timber supply is indicated in fourteen years Assuming the same use and stand with an annual growth of 10. 0lo. 0oo. ooo feet, we have 8. sup ply for twensy-three years. Assum- ing an anuual use. of l50, OO0. o00. GOO feet, the first supposition becomes nine years. Assuming stand of }, oO0. 0no, 0no. 0OO feet. use of loo, O00. : QUO, oo0 feet. and negleeting growth we have twenty years supply. As suming the same conditions. with SD annual growth of 10. OO0. ooO0, % feet, we have thirtythree years sup ply. With an annual use of l50, oOo, GOO, ooO, feet, these estimates become. respectively, thirteen and eighteen years

Mankind Is again reminded that we are on iy in the edge of things in re- specs to,achieyments with those won- isrful forces which have made possi ble the telephone and the telegraph i T s.rumens. Dr. Lee Deforess, worsi ., under instruction from ihe British Admiralisy has just concluded very successful session of wireless se le- phony experiments between warshie in Portsmouth hsrbor. A London correspondent states that Dr. Dsfor- rest operated the sransmitter on board the cruiser Furious. while Mrs. Dsforrsss WAS as the receiver on the schoolship Vernon, both of which vessels steamed ss full speed 6tsy miles apart As a result of the tests. Admiral Gamble, who supsrintended shs experiments, has commended that she sdmirslity install two com plese ssss of instruments Dr. Dsfor- rest made the statement: We talked ss a distance of fifty knots. the longest authenticated record. The accuracy Of the system really surprised me, es- pecially when consider the fact that we suffered atrocio0s interference from wireless teiegrsphy.
