A FORESTRY ACHIEVEMENT.

Toward the close of the eighteenth century about 2,500,000 acres com prised in the department of the Landes were little more than shifting sand dunes and disease breeding marshes. This section is now one of the richest. most productive. and healthful in France. This change has been brought about by the intelligent cultivation of pine forests. Immense forests now cover the country. the sand dunes and marshes have long since disappeared, and the wood, charcoal, turpentine, rosin. and kindred industries have brought prosperity to the department which was formerly the most barren and miasmatic in France.
 The climate is now mild and balmy, the great change being wrought by the forests. The thin. layer of clay impervious to water, has been so pierced by the roots of the pine that there is now thorough drainage to. the spongy earth below. The manufac- ture of rosin, tar, turpentine, pitch, pyroligenous acid, and wood vinegar is conducted about the same as in Georgia and the Carolinas The trees destined for short fife" are bled as soon as they are big enough to stand bleeding. when they have a circum- ference of a foot or fifteen inches, the sappiEs Cf young trees being the only production of a new forest for a time. and when the thinning out" time comes they are "bled to death" and the timber used largely for pit props. the English demand guaranteeing a steady and profitable market. The standing trees" those giving promise of most vigor, are never tapped until they are about three feet in circumfer- ence. When these have reached the age of fifty or sixty years they are cut down and utilized for telegraph poles and railway ties. To prevent the spread of forest fires, wide trench es are dug about limited areas and the space kept clear-Science.

AMERICAN CARDINAL

Why America Has Not Six Cardi- nals, Is an Illuminating presentation Tn the October number of the North American Review. by Salvatore Cor tesi, of the Vatican's point of view toward that much-discussed question. MT. Cortesi adduces plenty of proof to show that the numerical extent of Catholics in country is by no means the determining factor in the number of its cardinals. He concludes:
 Tt must finally be considered that, with the exception of a few cardinals intrusted in Rome with certain im-

The newspapers which have been paying big prices for pr. Cooks sev- eral installments of his North Pole story, are trying to convince their readers that it is the most interesting stuff ever printed. But the people perversely turn their eyes to the news of the closing baseball games.

REASONABLE.

A chair in aeronautics is about to
be founded or instituted or set UP
or installed, or whatever process is
gone through when 1t is desired TO
put a new chair In a college, at
Cornell. And 1t is high time an
American school had such a chair.
In Paris, France, there Is a school
which has had one for three weeks,
and that is a long start when it is
remembered that educational insti-
buttons nowadays seek to grab
novelties, which can be worked into
the curriculum, hot o: the bat.
Naturally the function of a profess
sor of aviation will be to teach the
young idea to fly. But we do not
believe it can be done very well
from a chair, not even a high chair.
A professor in mathematics is sup
posed to be able to work out the
the back of the book, and a pro-
fessor of ~aeronautics, by the same
token, should be able to fly, and he
should fly every nee in a while just
to show when it ome to putting
theory into practise the Wright
Brothers have nothing IN him. The
proper place for a chair in aeronau-
tics is In an airship.

The Water story.

To the Editor of the Star:
Dear Sir-I am a fairly constant
reader of your paper. / try to keep
posted on matters affecting public
interest. l depend more upon the
newspapers in this regard than upon
any other source. A biased ac-
count in a newspaper of any given
event, therefore, would win my
support to the side of error. So
would the lack of continuity, In
pointing the causes or outlining the
effects, add to my bewilderment.
My purpose in writing you is to
call your attention to the fact that
others are not as well-informed on
the East Jersey water problem as
you seem to be. You seem not to
appreciate this. Your stories and
editorials deal with the situation
as it discloses itself from day to
day. 1t is apparently a matter of
great public Importance, but ] see
no evidence of any public concern
being displayed. May this moi be
due to the fact that at no time has
there been any short, comprehensive
review of the matter?
Could the story, from beginning to
date, be told, as o newspaper men
say, in box form? Other great
events have been so reviewed. Why
not the water question? Please
give your attention to this matter,
Mr.. Editor. If it can be done let us
have it by all means. Now we are
frightened without knowing the

To the Editor Of the Star:
Dear Sir--It is pleasing to read
that the proprietors of our large
business houses are urging their
patrons to do their shopping in the
early hours of the day. The benefit
will be three-fold. The patrons will
be better served. the proprietor
will be pleased, and q load will be
lifted from the shoulders of the
tired men and women behind the
counters.
These latter are the ones who
should receive the most considera-
ton during the coming holiday ea-
son. From early morning until late
in the night they are on their feet.
Their patience is sorely tried a
hundred times a day by an incon-
siderate public. Weary with the
toll that seems never ending; piled
with questions that seem inexhaust-
ible; harassed by the clamoring
shoppers for instant attention, is it
any wonder that patience at last

creeds in the United States. 1t is truly national in it's character.
All institutions of the kind have their origin in some such way in
past ages. Appealing to human sympathies or necessities, they
become fixed for nations and empires and are a part of the great
national life. There is a peculiar interest in Thanksgiving which
belongs to no other holiday of the year. In one respect it is the
day for family reunions, when scattered members gather about the
parent board and renew old home associations. Happy the family
that thus gathers and count not one vacant chair. Happy the
family where all are prosperous and happy and have every reason
for grateful thankfulness to the Oliver of All Good. And happy
him who has not forgotten to do some kindly deed in recognition
of the day. Thankfulness for the divine favor is best expressed in
benevolent acts. The man who scrupulously attends Thanksgiv
ing services may not be genuinely appreciative of the bounties
he has received from Providence during the year. Tomorrow all
business occupation will pause, and the whole American world
will give itself up to the social observance of the day. The New
ark Evening STAR will omit publication.

A OF
THE WATER COMPANY

Water Supply Commission Of an immense reservoir there to fur
nish the company, at a nominal price, potable water to sell to
municipalities and other customers within and without the State.
The company's attorneys and servitors are blocking the efforts by
Newark to get additional watershed, in order to force them to favor
the big reservoir project. The company is trying to secure a right
of way in Staten Island for the pipes of it's subsidiary, the Hud-
son County Water Company, for the purpose of selling water from
the proposed reservoir to Staten Island and Brooklyn. If the water
company is permanently shut out from Staten Island its elaborate
scheme of exploitation of the water supply of this State will fail,
and, except for its New Jersey customers, the proposed reservoir
will not be needed. 1t is yet to be settled by the courts whether
the company has any legal right to divert river water at Little
Falls. If that case goes against the East Jersey Water Company
its power will be broken, even though 1t may have trick cards yet
to play.

THE PRICE OF THE
THANKSGIVING TURKEY

is readily accepted there will be continued high poultry prices at
all times when poultry is in any unusual demand. Thanksgiving
is a time when poultry should properly be at its cheapest, so that
it may be within the reach of people Of all social degrees. I'm
memorial usage has made the turkey the symbol of Thanksgiving
and until of late years the turkey, even the best of the species, was
so reasonable in price that the poorest family could afford the
Thanksgiving roast. AT presentday prices it may be ranked among
the Injuries, not to be had by a humble household without some
sacrifice.

A LAKEWOOD
BAR THE SICK CHILD?

CHAR children, End that Miss Dorothy Whitney had donated
$780, 900 towards its maintenance, there was universal praise of this
benefcence. Lakewood, with its health giving air, is the ideal
place for the afflicted children. But a selfish, dissonant note is
heard. There is objection. A few individuals would bar these
children from Lakewood on the ground that their presence will
injure the resort. Every State or municipality that seeks to estab-
lh a hospital or sanatorium II other institution of the kind runs
up against the same kind of opposition. But Lakewood is not con-
fined. 1t is open; there is plenty Of space and all the pineladen
air that one can breathe. There are sick and tubercular people in
the cottages there, and there is no prohibition upon them. Why
should the little sufferers from the cities be excluded and left to
die within tenements? But only the selfish few at Lakewood make
this objection. And, of course, it won't be regarded.

MIR. HALLEY,S COMET.

A good deal Of curiosity IL being
manifested concerning Mr.. Halley>s
comet, since the announcement that
1t would be in this neighborhooa
next spring. In the first place the
comet never belonged to MT. Haley,
nor did he eve lay claim to it. He
happened to see it first, that was
all. A professor who recently got =
good look at this comet and tool1a
picture of Il says it has a star
shaped head and wears a hood. 1t
has been known for a long time that
the comet had a train decorated
with star dust, and these new dis
coveries seem to prove that it is Q
female comet. Indeed, all comets
seem to be of the feminine per-
s~uasion, so tickle and inconstant
erratic and impulsive are they.
The ate Professor William Nye in
his exhaustive work on the heavenly
bodies says nothing about the sex
of comets, so our theory Is appar-
emily a brand-new one. When the
comet appears we should take no
chances but should treat 1t with
the greatest consideration and re-
Spect.
