Giles, but bowed slightly: and Giles
returned the lock by steady glance
and this singing remark:
Good evening. Sir Thomas. You
look very i'll. Is your health as desper-
ate as heard it was two years ago.
A litter went around at this. and
Giles moved OFF smiling. Sir Thomas
was unpopular. there could be no
doubt about that.
Presently Sir Thomas caught sight
OF Lady Arabel!a, and, as usual, he
was instantly struck by her exquisite
beauty. He succeeded in being pre-
scented to her. and noted that she re-
ceived him with affability.
About midnight the company broke
up. and our party made a move to go,
but Lady Arabeila announced that she
had been invited by her grace OF
Auchester to stay the mis- hit. and she
wished to do SO. Neither Sir Peter
nor Lady Hawkshaw perfectly ap
proved; but Lady Arabella carried her
point, with the assistance of the
duchess. At the last moment, her
grace-a fine woman-approached me

ton of remarkable enthusiasm at the
Institution of Civil Engineers Monday
night when the Aeronautical Society of
Great Britain conferred on Wilbur and
Orville Wright the aeroplanists of
Dayton, Ohio, its first gold medal.
The spectators cheered and ap-
plauded repeatedly while the Wright
brothers blushingly bore their honors
through an hour of the warmest
eulogies.
Finally the entire assemblage rose
up and gave three cheers for each Of
the brothers. They sang For They
Are Jolly Good Fellows" and ended by
cheering Miss Katherine Wright.

Representative J. A. Gouldsn of New
York. chairman of the Panama com.

been conducted in business-like way.
and that with few exceptions all the
members had been agreeably surprised
with the progress Of the work.
MANY of US were of the opinion
when We left for the canal, on April
14th. that the sea level plan was more
desirable than the lock project" said
Mr.. Goulden. "a weeks study Of the
conditions, however. changed our opin-
Ions. and We are to report that the plan
decided upon by President Taft Is the
better of the two.
Every assurance was give to us by
the engineers In the canal zone that
the foundations of the Gatun dam
would prove more than strong enough
to hold the load. These foundations
are At depth of $50 feet and in some
places more than that.
Estimates by our experts show that
to change the plan of construction
from the lock to the seal level plan
would entail an additional cost of $780,
100000. Also it would delay the com.
pletion of the canal for ten years be-
yond the date now set by the engineers
for the work to be finished. The canal
will be completed inside OF five years,

Representative H. F. Conroy of New
York said that the principal objection
to the sea level plan was the action

The national forest bureau lost ne.

assertions that thi@ country is i'm nc
danger OF a timber famine. A bulle-
tin issued from the office Of forest
statistics states that 's1ye are cutting
our forests three times as fast as they
are growing" Admitting that we may
never reach absolute timber exhaus-
ton, the bulletin, in the language OF
Assistant Forester kellogg, says, "Un-
restricted exploitation of our forests
in the past has already had serious
effects, and it will have much worse
If allowed TO continue unchecked"
The remedy suggested is on the prin-
ciple of "a stitch in time saves nine"
An equilibrium between timber pro
duetion and consumption should be
established through many years Of
vigorous effort by individual forest
owners, by the states and by the ma
tional government" Future rate of
consumption cannot be judged by the
past. There are more consumers, and
about half of the old work must soon
be rebuilt. But. while reasonable con-
servdtion is advisable. it is more than
probable that future construction will
depend less. upon timber than past
construction. Both sides Of the ones,
ton will be looked at.
