FOREST FIRES.
The WatehfuI Rangers and the Way
They Fight the Flames.

The WatehfuI Rangers and the Way
They Fight the Flames.
In almost any of the western noun
tains the traveller sees the fire warn
in%s of the forest service, and he is
likely to meet some of the rangers.
You Will fad them crossing the high
Sierras in California in the Crazy
mountains of Montana, among the
Olympics i'll Washington or following
the old Apache trails along the mesas
In Arizona. Wherever he is. the ranger
keeps keen lookout for the smoke Of
forest fires, and in the clear western
atmosphere even little smoke column
can be detected from afar. AS soon as
he discovers 1t the ranger takes his ak
and shovel and goes as only western
horse and rider can. Many small fires
are stopped by this watchfulness. but
there are others which take many men
many hours to subdue. A fire i'm n
chaparral so thick that man can
hardly force his way through it and
parched by six months of drought
makes hard and trying fighting. Then
there are fires in the big timber among
the dead trees of old windfalls and
overhead fires that spread faster than
a man can run. If unchecked. they
will burn for weeks over thousands Of
acres of timber.
And all this destruction may be caus-
ed by a carelessly left campfire or
match dropped from horseback. The
sheep men used to set the forest on
tre purposely, for the year after a fire
the burned acres yield fine forage.
Happily this practice is discontinued.
Sparks from locomotives now set more
fires within the national forests than
any other cause. Camping parties are
the next worst offenders. Indians.
stOckmen, miners and lumbermen who
travel continually In the forests very
seldom leave campfires to spread and
do damage. They know too well the
results. For time almost every year
the citizens Of Portland. Ore, lose sight
of some of the great mountains around
the city on account of the smoke from
the burning forests. There is little
doubt that since the white man settled
In the west more timber has been use
lessly burned than has been cut and
used.-ArthUr W. Page in Worlds

A Paris Restaurant.

The Partisan men are not likely to
grumble at being asked to dine in
dress clothes in any particular London
restaurant, for they have in Paris one
dining place where this unwritten law
has always been enforced. No man
ever goes to dine at the Armenonville
in the BOis de Boulogne without put
ting on his dress clothes. Why fash
ion has decreed that a Frenchman may
dine at any of the boulevard restau-
rants in tenue de vile, but must wear
swallowtail coat when he drives to
the big park of Paris to dine, nc one
knows. 1t is custom. and there to a

Wise Ones Who Will Watch the Outcome

"eS '" u" WV WEIGH tue outcome,
According to the superstitlous. next
Sunday will foretell the character of
the -weather for the next six weeks.
That day is what has become known as
GroundhOg Day, and that sagacious
animal is supposed by his actions to
toretell the weather for the spring, or
at least portion of it. Upon this day
1t is said that the grounding arises
from his sleep, after being burrowed
In the ground during the winter for
the purpose of determining the wea-
ther. Should the day be cloudy and
the animal not see his shadow, it fore
tells mild spring, but in the event of
the day being sunny and the shadow
OF the animal is thrown upon the
ground it is seen and quickly the
little hog" darts back into his hole in
the ground and for the next six weeks
winter weather will prevail. The day
is religiOusIy watched by many, and if
it is clear and there is a chance for the
grounding to see his shadow, the
superstltious ones decide Immediately
that there will be six weeks of real
winter weather.
