REGULATING TRAMPS.
Philadelphia InquirerD

VI ullth'l lHllf ifii''''''''
 Some excellent sociologIsts have been studying the tramp problem and seem to think that 1t Is possible to treat the disease as of single origin. TO place tho finger on the one cause Of the disease is to provide the reme- dv. etc. etc, to an extent which Is a little hewildering.
 There have been but two men In ihs country who have ever had prac- tical experience with tramps to an extent which made their views on the subject of importance. Unfortunate ly, both of them are dead. Possibly they arc dead because they were tramps, for the race is notoriously short lived Not long ago Josiah Flynt, nephew of Miss Frances Will lard, went tu his rest after career that Is more astonishing than any thing in fiction He was man who had all the opportunities which can easily come tn any American. He went tn college here and to German university, but there was in him that spirit of wandcrlust which made close application to his books impossible. He went out into the world and saw it from a point of view denied to most of us. He tramped Europe from Manchura to Spain and America from one end of the country to the other TO a certain extent he was a constructive philosopher, since he was able to assist the Pennsylvania rail road to rid Its lines of the tramps and thieves which had done so much damage.
 Rut in his posthumnus memoirs he gives IFS flne perspective of the tramp, which ought to be studied hy every legislator, hy every adminlstra- tor and by every railway man. The tramp ls not open to tho ordinary in f'uences Jail is often to him pleas ant place for temporary retirement and good food He can stand incar- ceration with more aplomb than any other class. In fact, this peculiar sort of dercljcts ought to be taken in hand with some intelligence and discretion Most tramps love the open air and de- sire some exercise. We should think that breaking stone on the public roads would be a just compensation for their sins, All possible sentiment is wanted on them,

WHAT FOREST FIRES MEAN.
Tho Loss Is Not Only Upon Matured
 Timber, But In Human Life

Forest fires sweeping over the wood. lands of Michigan, Wisconsin, Mime. sota New York Pennsylvania and other states have caused enormous losses of human life and of timber Figures to show the extent of the damage for the Currcnt wear have not yet been com. piled. but the destruction wrought by forest fires in other years so far au it has been possible to estimate it, urges the need of protective action
 According to the figures obtalnable. the loss of life in forest fires in tho United states in the last thirty years, not including 1908, has been l956 per sons, or all average of 65 a year. The number of lives reported to have been lost in the United States and Canada this year Is more than lS0.
 Official census returns for 1880 show ed an area of timber lands of 1000o000 acres burned yearly with the value of destroyed timber placed at s250oo0o9 to $50,000,00l and although the acre. age of forests burned in later years is much less, the loss Is not, for the reason that the timber Is much more valuable,
 Experts estimate that the damage done to forest growth by forest fires amounta to s9o,000,o0o yearly, figured upon a basis of additional growth [ year. This. for a forest area of 600- Ol0.0oo acres, would be l0,0oo,000 cubic feet
 Another incidental loss, the result of forest fires. Is the destruction of soil fertility. The humus, or essential veg etable mould, in the soil IS devoured by the flames What is lost in this manner cannot be recovered for score of years or more
 Then there Is the damage to rivers and adjacent farm country. the conse- quenre of flood and drought which fol" low the destruction of forests by fire or otherwise. The cost to the nation amounts to millions of dollars,
 Depreciation in forest wealth and In the value of the land visited by fires also eudangers the prosperity of the territories affected and is a hindrancs to commercial enterprise,
 Upon the basis of the forest service of the national government in It's ey- perlcnce with the forest reservations. the entire cost of administration of which, including fire patrol, amounts only to ono cent an acre, the whole forest area of tho United states could he well patrolled and protected from devastating fires for less than SS,OOO.Oo0 q year This would mean a yearly sav- Ing in timber loss losses alone of S20,- 00O. .ot0. regardless of other advantages.
 By It's fire patrol the government for- est service reduced the burned over area from 3SS,S72 acres in 1908 to 1)a- 4lO in 1907 During the same period the national forests were increased In acreage from 5S.00o,000 to 16S.oO0,0o0 acrcc.
 The question of protection from for est fires will he discussed in the Pitts burg meeting Of the American Civic association. which has been an active supporter of Clifford Plnchot, chief or of the United States bureau of for cstry. ln his efforts for forest con- servntion. The Pittsburg meeting will be held November l7 to 9.

ANOTHER BURBANK MARVEL.
His Success With Splnclcss Cac-
 tiIs.

In recent address before the stud ents of the University of California Luther Burbank made comforting report of progress in his experiments with the now species of spineess cac- tus. on his own place at Santa Rosa hc has demonstrated that go tons of cactus fruit can he grown on one acre of ground. This Is an average of ono full wheelharrow load to the square yard. The fruit contains l6 per cent, of sugar and is as wholesome as an apple. "No plant in the world pro- duccs SD profusely and such nourish- Ing food az this thornless cactus
 This very large statement appears in the reports of the address in the San Francisco newspapers. Perhaps 1t Is as well to await confirmation of all the claims put forward for the new plant before buying up desert lands on speculation, but unless Mr. Bur bank has been misquoted again and again in this matter, his new plant Is bound tO lead to sational re- suits in desert farming. He finds that while his cactus yields best under cnl- tiNation. 1t drives out the desert cac- tus on It's own ground because of deeper roots The only obstacle yet found to it's spread over large desert areas Is it's inability to defend itself against the attacks of rabbits and other desert animals. Nothing can harm the old-fashioned cactus on ac- count of it's guard of thorns, The new cactus invites instead of repels attack and therefore must be protect cd against browsing animals,-Lln- coin CNebD State Journal
