WOOD LOTS OF JAPAN.
Example Furnished Of Tree Growing
on Small Plots,

on omSI tIotS.
In these times of great drains on the
timber supplies, caused by the heavy
demand for forest products of all
kinds, Americans may see in Japan an
example of what car be done in grow
ing wood on small plots.
That country contains 21,OOO,O 900
wood lots. about three-fOurths of which
belong to private persons and one
fourth to communes. The average size
OF the plot Is less than nine-tenths of
an acre. They usually occupy the
~stce>est, toughest. poorest ground. In
this way land is put to use which
would otherwise go to waste and if
unwooded would lose its soil by the
wash of the dashing rains.
From .Japnn's wood lots the yearly
yield of Lumber is about lightweight
feet. board measure. an acre and three
fourths OF Il cord of frcwood. In many
cae"S the yield is much higher. More
than 100000. eco trees are planted year
ly to make up what is cut for lumber
and fuel.
With all the care in cutting and the
industry in replanting it is by ne
means certain that .Japan's forests arc
holding their own. If the preservation
of the forests is doubtful there. IT is
evident that depletion must be alarm.

Tho lono Lived Pear,

The pear is really more hardy than
the apple and needs less cosseting.
There are trees still standing e Mon
roe, in the state of Michigan, which
were planted by the French settlers be-
fore Penn founded Philadelphia. Pear
trees can be kept in good bearing
condition for 800 years and apples
for at least $50 years. I have an apple

PLEADS WITH SOLONS
Boy King of Portugal Points
Out the Needs of That
Country.
AN IMPRESSIVE OPENING.

Lisbon, April 3o-The new Portu-
guese Parliament was opened by King
Manuel.
His address, which he read in strong
and full tones. not unlike those of his
father. was a pathetic and at the same
time Il practical and vigorous dis
course, calculated to win the sympa-
thies of the people. He touched upon
the tragedy Of February /. when his
father and brother were shot down, as
the cruel disappearance of my father
and brother"
He called upon the country to con-
centrate all it's energies in a supreme
effort to attain the realization of the
destinies of Portugal. Il hope to work
with you," the king said, lin order to
bring about the happiness and great
ness of our country: TO these I hence
forth dedicate my life and activities"
Continuing King Manuel recon-
mended a revision of the constitution
the re-establishment of individual
rights, a new electoral law fixing the
rights of suffrage, a revision of the de-
crees promulgated by eX Premier Fran
co, and more rigid and careful methods
Of finance, whereby tho country could
be placed on more economical foot
ing. At the conclusion of the King
speech the members of the Cortez
broke out into cries of Long live the
King" which were taken up and re-
echoed by the others present as King
Manuel and the state dignitaries took
their departure for the palace.
While journeying TO and from the
buildings of parliament King Manuel
was respectfully greeted by the people.

Washington, April 3o.-The astonish-
ing claim is put forth by one Of the
leading republican members Of the SEN
ate that had it not been for the Steel
Trust, only II senators instead of %
would have voted for four battleshipS
last Monday evening. when the spec
tacular fight between the president and
the senate terminated in the senateS
favor The senator who divulged this
information ought to know what he is
talking about, because he is personally
acquainted with the men who came
over from New York representing the
steel corporation and also with some
Of the men who organized it. He
said he had personal knowledge that
the steel lobby converted no less than
six senator's to the four battle-ship
proposition with the argument that the
authorization of that number OF big
ironclads would furnish employment
for a large number of men who have
been forced into idlenesS by the bus
mess depression.
Singularly enough, one Of the sena-
tors who, in the closing hours OF the
debate, advocated an appropriation
for four ships, employed that very ar
gument. Had it not been for the &C
