Not Delayed by Leads.

South of where Marvin had turned
back we came to where his party had
built several igloos while delayed by
open leads. Still further south we
found where the captain had been held
up by an open lead and obliged to
camp.
Fortunately the movement of these
leads was simply open and shut. and IL
took considerable water motion to fault
the trail seriously.
While the captain, Marvin, and as /
found later. Borup. had been delayed
by open leads, we seemed to bear a
charm and with no single lead were we
delayed more than a couple of hours.
Sometimes the ice was fast and firm
enough TO carry us across; sometimes
a short detour, sometimes a brief halt
for the lead to close. sometimes an I'm
provised ferry on an ice cake. kept the
trail without difficulty down to the
tenth outward march.

Marvin's Fate Learned.


We reached Hecla in one march and
the Roosevelt in another. When we
got to the Roosevelt I was staggered by
the news of the fatal mishap to Marvin.
He had either been less cautious or less
fortunate than the rest of US, and his
death emphasized the risk to which we
all had been subjected. for there was not
one of us but had been in the sledge at
some time during the journey.
The big lead. cheated OF its prey three
years before, had at last gained its hui
man victim.
The rest can be told quickly. Mcmillan
and Borup had started for the Green
land coast to deposit caches for me. Be
fore / arrived a flying Eskimo courier
from ne overlook them with instructions
that the caches were no longer needed
and they were to concentrate their ener-
gies on the ideal observations, etc. at
Cape Norris X. Jesup and north from
there.

left them with ample supplies of dark,
rich walrus meat and blubber for their
winter. with currants. sugar. biscuits,

But all of this-the dearly bought

the loyal faithfulness Of my Eskimos
could have gone for naught but for
the faithful nccessaries OF war fur

Travel Was Easy.

A few hours sleep and we were on
the trail again. AS the going was now
practically horizontal, we were un-
hampered and could travel as long as
we pleased and sleep as little as we
wished.
The weather was fine and the going
like that of the previous day. except
at the beginning. when pickaxes were
required. This and a brief stop at an
other lead cut down our distance. But
we had made 20 miles in ten hours and
were half way to the eighty-ninth
parallel.
The ice was grinding audibly In every
direction, but no motion was visible.
Evidently 1t was settling back into
equilibrium and probably sagging due
northward with its release from the
wind pressure.

DEAD FISH COVER THE SEA
Crude oil from Wrecked Steamer Kills
Hundreds Of Fish, Large and
Small, Says Sea Captain.

San. Francisco.-According to the
crew Of the barkentine City Of Pa.
peete, which arrived here the other
day, the sea near Point Arena was lit
orally covered with dead fish when
the vessel passed that part of the
coast.
The Papeete was sailing along over
a comparatively smooth sea, when she
ran into a shoal of dead fish, large and
small, and apparently of all varieties.
The crew of the barkentine wat in:
clined to attribute the presence Of
the fish, which had evidently been
killed only a few hours before, to
seismic disturbances. But seafaring
men who heard the story and who
knew Of the recent wreck. of the
steamer Winnebago, said that the
presence Of. dead fish was probably
due to the breaking Of the fuel tanks
of the wrecked vessel and consequent
escape of large quantities of crude
oil into the sea.

Boston, Mass.-The state legislature
at its next session may have to let
down the bars and permit the killing
OF deer, for the deer money is being
exhausted. The deer seem to be. null

correspondingly on the increase.
Boston suburbs seem to be a sort

The law Of the state permits the
killing Of deer when in the act Of de-

to prefer to have the state pay the
damages done by the deer. In 1909
the legislature appropriated $4,000 to
pay for such damages, but from indi-
cations this will not be sufficient.

PROFITS OF FOREST
Practical Value of Woodlands In
Germany Is Immense.
one.Third Of Area Of state Of Baden
Devoted to This Industry, Which
Yield Big 0alns-Aereaue Of
Other States.

Philadelphia, Pain view Of the
general interest in municipal or COM
munal forests, as advocated in this
country by the American Civic associ-.
alton, the report obtained by s. b.
Elliott of the Pennsylvania forest re->
serve commission concerning, the prac-'
teal value of such woodlands in: Ger.
many is a remarkable document. This
shows the actual profits obtainable
from public forests, according to the
American Civic association.
There are 1892, 944 acres of forests
In Baden, which state has a total area
of .3,726,665 acres. Of the wooded
lands, 577,465 are owned by communi-
ties and corporations. In Baden 1850
of the 1864 communities have forests
and, in addition, 2S7 schools, churches,
hospitals and other similar corpora
lions are engaged in practical forestry.
From these public forests there are
allowed to be cut yearly 261,724.300
board feet Of timber, which has .
value of $3,6O0.oo0 free of expense Of
cutting.
AS an instance of the communal for
ests, the city of Baden has 10,576
acres, the income from which is $780,
All, as against an outlay Of $33,391, so
that the net profit is s66,0S0, OF ap-
proximately $6.25 an acre. In Erie
burg, the forests, cover 8,0s5 acres,
representing a total income of 1884,.
166, with an outlay Of. $780,. ora
profit of $46.3S6, or $5.79. an acre In
Heidelberg, the forests cover $3.50
acres. The income is .$39,s34 and the
outlay $27,1S9, showing. a profit, Of
$12,635. .Heidelburg still is acquiring
land, and that expense necessarily re.
duces its net income.
In the village of Braunlingen, which
has 1,601 inhabitants and 4,507 acres
Of forests, there is. an allowance ia
the citizens for frewood and 10, COO
board feet Of lumber is given to

situations. From the timber sold tho
net income is $21,6 600 and iBraunltngen
is not only free from all communal
taxes, but is enabled to establish cleo
trio plants, water works and other
public improvements.
: Even in the village Of Aufen, with
only 220 inhabitants, there r '. -16a
acres of timber lands. This gives
1000 board feet Of frewood to each
citizen, and the $4,000 board feet Of
timber sold nets more than $1.400
which is sufficient for all: expenses .oa
the little community.
These advantages of public forests
could be multiplied to the number Of
every community having them. Ac
cording to the very latest report, the
various German states having produc
tive communal forests are: Prussia

FIGHT COTTON SCALE
Injurious Insect Causing Much
Damage to Crop in Peru.
Charles II. Townsend, Government En-
temoIosist, Will Investigate Pest
and Inaugurate Peruvian En-.
tomoIogist Service.

Boston, Nass.-Charles H. T. Town
send, government e~ntomologist, who
has been. connected with the expert
mental Laboratory at Melrose' High
lands has been granted a year and a
half leave of absence in order that he
may accept a position with the gov
eminent of Peru to investigate the
cotton scale which is giving that
country trouble. Mr.. Townsend, with
his wife and two children, leave this
country on October Is.
Mr.. Townsend is considered an au-
thority in entomology, and this, no
gether with his superior knowledge
Of the Spanish language, is largely
responsible for his selection to inves-
tigate the insect pests in Peru.
Mr.. Townsends' trip to Peru has 1
double purpose, for, besides his inves-
tigation Of the cotton scale, he will
be called upon to inaugurate a Peru
Wan entomologist service. He will
choose two or mor graduates from
the school of agriculture in Peru and
train them in chronological work.
t16E#gga 4t E
lin speaking of his trip Mr.. Town
send said: There is a great deal Of
agriculture carried on in Peru and
they raise a superior grade of cotton.
The scale insect is causing a great
deal of injury to this cotton, so the
government of Peru has decided to
stamp out, if possible, the pest.
f'The scale insect is a new problem
in economic entomology and has proven
a@very :dittic insect to cope with.
The Peru scale attaches itself to the
bark on the trunk and branches
Owing to the fact that the plants are
perennial the scale increases very
rapidly each year.
'In' Peru there are many other pests
to investigate, and these are found
ravaging in the orange and citrus
fruit groves, in the sugar cane, also
the grapes. These will be taken ur
by me"
The future work at the Melrose
Highlands labratory will be carried or
by William R. Thompson under The
direction of w. F. Fiske.
