THE 10o0-FOOT SHIPS.
he New York World.

From the New York World.
 The Harlan & Wolff Ship Building company of Belfast has begun prepar- ing slips and cradles to build ships 1000 feet long. The first of these ma- rine monsters is expected to reach this country in 1911. New York city has no adequate provision for docking such ships on Manhattan Island. though Mayor Low six years ago warned the city of the approaching need.
 We sometimes accuse the federal government of slowness in providing for the harbor needs of New York, is now in use while the new docks to match it are not begun. We cannot but the new deep water ship channel extend the North river docks further into the river. To cut back the bulk heads between them would sacrifice the exterior street and entail enor- nous cost.
 Most shipping men say that to &C., commodate big ships the city must scoop out a harbor in Jamaica bay where docks with railroad connections as convenient as those of Hamburg or Antwerp might be arranged. New York cannot much longer delay at tempting some solution of the prob lem of the giant ships of the future.

Three Scout Cruisers

The Chester, Birmingham and Sa- lem are in class by themselves, being designed for speed and wide cruising radius as the mobile outposts of a war fleet. They are smaller than the fighting cruisers, and their excel. lence Is found in speed and the dis. tance they can steam without stopping to recoal It is believed any one of the three could cross the Atlantic and recross it at full speed without re. plenishing her bunkers.
 They are alike in tonnage and de. sign, but each has a distinctive en. zine. The Chester is equipped with modified English turbines; the Bir- mingham has reciprocating engines, and the Salem now nearly ready for her trial trip has turbines of an Amer ican type. The value of these types of engines will thus be tested in our three new scout cruisers.
 Thus far the Chester has shown a higher degree of speed. She is capable of making 261s knots an hour, but the Birmingham burns less coal per knot and this gives her a wider cruising radius. Not little interest is taken in the approaching test of the Salem's turbines. These turbines have never been used in fighting ships, and the Salem's tests will be carefully ob. served
 The three scout sisters are interest. ing features of our new navy. and the Birmingham with an unexampled cruising radius is by no means con. sidered the least efficient of the three

proceeds to plant them. This work was begun eight years ago, and already 10OO0,OO0 trees have been transplanted on farms. In the long run this effort will be felt.
 We could and should do likewise, but no hand is raised in this country to save our forests. The man who plants trees will certainly reap rich harvest, and this alone should lead to the grow ing of a second crop of timber, but it will not unless the general government takes hold of the matter as Canada has done. A reserve on the Appalachian range would save some forests, but what the country needs is a general replanting of trees on surfaces that have been denuded by our timber hunters.

From the Meridian Star.
 1 HE general trend of thep rices of \U the neeessaries of life to the re-
 tail dealers Is represented as hav- ing downward tendency. The question is coming to be asked when will this general decrease reach through and be- yond the retailers down to the consumer.
 The top-notch of prices is said to have been reached March l. 1907. Since then the prices of 63 different commodities have been going lower; the prices of 30 are higher; while 13 remain unchanged.
 Of those that have been getting lower, as enumerated by the Birmingham Aga Herald, are eggs, beef, pork, bacon, hams, lard. butter, mackerel, codfish, coffee, molasses, salt, lemons, raisins, and cur rants. The general downward trend, says that paper, was accelerated during the month of February just past Q9oS), the tendency downward showing itself in B different commodities, among them being Frye. flour, beef, pork, bacon, hams. lard, milk butter, eggs, and molasses. During tle same month February), 54 commodi- ties remained unchanged, while only b advanced in price.

Conservation of Forests

Our forests are disappearing at the rate of 45 square miles day. These great natural growths are consumed by hungry machines that saw, rip and shave them without mercy and with out cessation. Nor is all the timber used for building purposes or fuel. A single Sunday edition of a great daily newspaper consumes the spruce from 15 acres. Spools alone require 10000 cords of wood year, and 10000 acres of forests are turned each year into toothpicks. So the consumption of tim Der and the destruction of it by fire goes on, and in few short years we will be face to face with a timber famine.
 The Canadian government sees the situation clearly, and it is inducing the farmers, especially in the Winnipeg section, to plant trees. The govern ment furnishes the trees, delivering them free from charges, and the farmer

Judge Weaver's Withdrawal

Finding his judicial duties pressingly important, Judge Samuel L. Weaver has decided to give all his time and energies to those duties, thereby fore going a race for congressional honors at this time. This decision Is a credit to Judge Weavers sense and single ness of purpose as a public servant. He is needed on the bench, and there he proposes to serve the people in accordance with their decree two years ago, when he became winner despite the efforts of well-entrenched antagon- ists to defeat him.
 This withdrawal leaves Oscar W. Underwood the only announced candi- date before the people for member of Congress. It goes without the saying that the heavy and important interests of this district have too much business as well as political sense to swap in a revision period an old and popular member for a new and untried one, especially when the former is fairly slated for the chairmanship of the ways and means committee in case the democrats win control of the House. The election of Mr. Bryan to the pres idency means a democratic House of Representatives, and a democratic House means the selection of Oscar w. Underwood for chairman of the ways and means committee-that great com mittee which will in the next Congress conduct a revision of the tariff, both parties being pledged to it.
 This district has great deal at stake in the coming revision, and we need at the post of highest duty Oscar W. Underwood. He should be elected unanimously. He deserves a unani- nous vote, for a more popular, success full and efficient member is not included in the Alabama delegation. He has gained steadily in strength and popu- larity, and today no member outranks him in all that goes to make up a valuable working representative. Let us send him back supported by solid vote.

Tokio's Exposition In 1912

Japan is disappointed because Con- gress proposes. to limit it's appropria- tion for American participation in the international exposition to be held at Tokio in 1912 to $100,000. A sum five times larger would be none too much to expend on the first great exposition of the nation which Commodore Perry first opened to the world and started on a great outburst of wisdom and energy. The world has no match for Japan and never had. In a single life time she has risen to the first rank among nations, and she is widely re- spected for her achievements in peace as we'll as for her heroism and sue cess in war.
 When the location of Tokio is con- sidered it seems strange that the bus mess men in Congress would consent to forego a great opportunity to impress American products and devices and public achievements upon the untold millions of the Orient. One-half of the world lives there, and they have in the past purchased American goods freely We should send full line of samples to Tokio, and this cannot be done on an appropriation of s10O,- 900.
 We should be fully represented at the coming exposition It is good diplomacy, good business and good thing to do in all respects. Congress will make mistake if it limits the appropriation to s10O,000. A quarter of million, or better still, half of 8 million can be expended to good ad vantage at Tollio.

Pittsburq's Typhoid Problem

Typhoid fever has been prevalent in Greater Pittsburg 25 years. There has been no hiatus, no period in which the district was free from the disease. The survey conducted by the Sage foundation estimates the immediate cash. loss each year on account of the disease at $7O0,O00. This sum is not a mere guess. It is based on actual studies of the expenses of 194 cases in Pittsburg last year, and using the fig ures obtained in the 194 cases the sur vey ascertained that the 5637 cases that occurred in Pittsburg in 1907 cost $70S,246. This is, however, an under estimate, for it does not take into con- sideration the after effects In some cases the subsequent effects were per manent, and in nearly 40 per cent of the cases serious results followed This cost is not included-only the ex- penses of the illness being included, about s125 per case.
 Pittsburg is now asked to expend $500,000 year in preventing typhoid, dealing both with primary and second ary causes. Every case of typhoid springs from prior case. The typhoid germ is never of spontaneous growth. It never appears where no germs ex- ist There is really little left to be ascertained by the scientists, but there is a great deal of work needful when an infected city desires to rid itself of the disease. The problem is up to Pittsburg, and the recent survey shows that that city can make money by spending in the way of prevention $500,000 year. It needs fever detect ives and fever experts.

GOLDEN AGE OF REFORM.

From Harper's Weekly.
 When all the saloons are shut, and few vineyards, breweries and dis tilleries supply what stimulant is called for by judicious and responsible ,certified) drinkers when a few sur viving stockholders attend twice a month to the necessary business of the bona fide investors; when an occa- sional horse race is permitted strictly for the delectation of horse lovers who never bet; when the captains of industry and finance always retire from the game as soon as they have made comfortable provision for their declining years; when labor unions cease to attempt to keep nonunio1 men from working; when entrance fees at intercollegiate contests are abolished, and the presiding bishop of the Meth odist church and the pres- ident of the w. c. T. U. divide the command of the United States army; wh en all the trusts are dead and all the railroads carry freight and pas. sengers for nothing, and everybody 46 years old has six children and a pen sion, and duties are abolished and tn- come and inheritance taxes support the government. and Jack London is Pres fdent, and Bryan is Congress and Ar thur Brisbane and Upton Sinclair are the supreme court-what a wonderful ly improved country this will be, and how very, very happy shall be our lot if we have the great good fortune to be living in it.

/. COST OF NECESSARIES

ruary, as shown by figures from Brad streets list, is an indication that makes the consumer hope it will continue and finally reach down to him. It doesn't re- quire statistics to make one know that the necessaries of life have, of late, been unusually high; but statistics do show that they have, during the last six yeara been higher than they have been since 1885.
 The actual cost of a years supply of all the necessaries of life for single in- dividual, according to Dun's table of prices. was, in 1882, s123. 23; in 1883, it was $107.24; in 1884, $s9.7 70. From 1885 to 1901. each inclusive it varied from s72.4 to ss6o9-the latter being reached and main- tained only in the year 1891.
 In 1902 it jumped up to s101 91 for the necessaries of life for one single indi- vidual for one year. In 19O6 it was s105.2 It seems to have gone above the latter figures by March 1, 1907, and on that date reached highwater mark showing ten dency since then to recede.
 These statistics are based on wholesale prices to retail dealers. The consumers have right to hope that if the down. ward trend of prices to retailers has any permanency about 1t they may soon be- gin to feel the benefit of 1t.

NOTES AND COM MENT

on Criticism" Kanns' "ElementsA
 eisni" and Blair's Rhetoric" are
 trash: for they are all mostly deA Es to the discussion of a subject which does not exist! Besides. if the decision noted above be sound, what is to become of common honesty and fair dealing in this country?
 From an essay by G. s. Hall formerly professor of psychology in Johns Hopkins university we learn that large num- Der of children of school age were exam ined in Boston by professional experts, and here are some of the hideous re- suits:
 Fourteen per cent of these Boston chl- dren had never seen the stars, and and had no ideas about them, s5 per cent had never been out of town, 20 per cent did not know that milk came from cows, 55 per cent did not know that wooden things came from trees, from 1S to 15 per cent did not know green, blue and yellow by name 47 per cent had never seen a pig, 60 per cent had never seen a robin, from 13 to IS per cent did not know what "cheek," "forehead' and throat" meant still fewer knew the meaning of "elbow." wrist" and ribs" and more than three-fourths had never seen-to know them-the common grains, trees or vegetables growing.
 EiEl'lk
 And yet Boston is d great center of in- telligence. Send those experts south, Mr. Hall, and they will have better luck.
 Mir Edwin Arnold's poem, Pearls of the Faith" appears to have been sug- gested by "the custom of many pious Mosems to employ in their devotions a three-stringed chaplet each string con- taining 33 beads, and each bead represent ing one of the 99 beautiful names of Allah" In his preface MT. Arnold says that Paul, the tent-maker proclaiming the unknown God at Athens, was not more sublime than the camel-driyer, Mo hammed, abollshing the ideas of the Arabian pantheon Some time ago read with much interest the life of Dr. Thomas Arnold of Rugby It is a noble tribute to a noble man. What would pr. Arnold have thought of the wild vag- aries of Matthew Arnold in his Liter ature and Dogma and of Edwin Arnold in his Pearls of the Faith?' That one of the Arnold family should live to glorify a system like Mohammedanism is surely one of the sad signs of our times.

WHY THE TABLES ARE GREEN

From the Philadelphia Record.
 Billiards is one of the oldest games I know of," said a sporting man. Tt is older, even. than croquet which was played by French kings a great many hundred years ago. But, while billiards is so old, I'll bet none of the devotees of the worries and the cue can tell me why a billiard table covering is green. The bil- Hard table is always green. Well, the answer is simple enough. Billiards IS merely corruption of the good old Eng fish game of bowls, which was played on a beautifully green lawn. On rainy and winter days, however, your English sportsman couldn't enjoy his bowls, so some clever Johnny conceived the scheme of playing bowls indoors on his invitation green lawn. It was too much of cinch however, playing this game with the hand in such close quarters, so the cue was in- troduced to put skill at a premium That's why billiard tables are green"
