Washington. Sept. 15.-The forest
fires which have just laid waste whole
counties in Minnesota, Michigan and
extended into Wisconsin, destroying
many towns and making thousands of
persons homeless, have focused the
attention of both government and state
forest officers ON the enormous losses

up to the year190S.
In the whole northern half of the
United States throughout the vast
territory extending from coast to

In the first place, Jupiter, according

So are some of its moons, in the

furious wind that blows perpetually
at rate of about $50 miles an hour
In the midst of this never ending,

astronomers say that because Jupiter

But this is no doubt mistake. If
Jupiter stood still or revolved no faster

as fact the tremendous rate of revo-

CROPS GROW WITHOUT RAIN.
How the Syrian Peasant Makes Use Of
the Moist SubsoiI.

In Syria and Palestine from the be-
ginning of April until October there is
practically no rain, yet in July the
fields TEEN with a vigorous growth of
watermelons. tomatoes, cucumbers,
etc. all fourishing without artificial
watering, although at that time no
rain has fallen for-many weeks.
In fact, the Syrian peasant from the
moment his seed has been sown prays
that no rain may fall. During the p !
Rod of growth of crop the surface OF
the soil to depth of six or 4 ght
inches is perfectly dry and loosf Be
low this surface layer will be found
moist soil, in which the roo extend
and grow vigorously. In : As moist
subsoil plants continue to row until
late autumn. When the crop is re-
moved in the autumn II e rains COM
mence. and the land iSEplowed after
each heavy rain as soon as the soil
begins TO dry
Two primary objects are kept il,
view in plowing-to furnish favoro-
BILE surface for taking up all the water
and TO prevent its upward evaporation
from the subsoil. The great point is
to keep the upper six inches of soil
perfectly loose and friable, so that the
moisture from below is not drawn up
ward and lost in evaporation, but does
not ascend higher than the compact
subsoil that is not broken up by the
pillow. For this reason the blowing is
shallow averaging from four to sia
| inches in depth.
When the time for sowing the seai
arrives the land is plowed to deptl
of about six inches and the seed i!
| sown from an arrangement attached
| to the plow, falls on the damp subsoi

service here say that it is doubtful
if this years actual losses from forest
fires in all parts of the country will
ever be known. but it is certain that
they will run up so high in the mil
lions that the country will be startled
when a compilation of statistics at
the end of the season makes it pos
sible to give even the most conserva-
tive figures. Suffice it to say, were
all the timber burned up this year in
all parts of the country converted into
cash, it could provide for good sized
navy of first-class battleships.
The fires have done good in one
way; they have focused the peoples
attention on the seriousness of the
forest fire problem, practical foresters
say, and have started widespread
them by adopting rational systems of
fire protection. Among thinking peo-
pie there has been awakened an in
tense interest in throwing a better
protection around the forests, which
grow more important as natural re-
source as the timber supply dwindles.
The government has had lot of
work in the fire fighting line on the
| national forests, but serious as the
fires have been, careful patrol. and the
organization of force to battle with
the flames as soon as discovered has
/ held the losses down TO point where
they are utterly Insignificant when
one considers the fearful destruction
which would have come about had
there been no protection.
Small In National Forests.
Although the fire menace has been
serious in all sections, officers of the
forest service estimate that the total
cost of the forest fires on the national
| forests for the season, exclusive of the
salaries of forest officers, will not be
tmore than $4,000. This sum is small
when it is remembered that it means
fire protection for approximately 16S,
000,00 acres of national forests, less
than two-tenths of mill per acre

along much the same line as the gov
eminent in many cases, and in thi
