One of the most deplorable sights
which the traveller through the west
sees is large areas of fertile mountain
slopes which have been denuded Of
their magnificent growth Of cOnifers
by the deadly fumes of copper smelt-
cries or the terrible forest fires set
by sparks from passing trains, by the
campfire of careless hunter or aXman
or by rcvenGeful Indians who have
sought by this means to debar the
white hunter from Il territory over
which its primal owner could no long
er hold sway. So intense have beer
some of these fires that not only the
giants of the forest have been killed
and in many cases half burned by the
conhagration. but all seeds and seed
lings destroyed. which will prevent re-
forestation except by artificial plant
ing. In most cases the land referred
TO is too rough and steep for tillage,
so it is doomed to idlencss until such
time as systematic planting is under
taken

For the past two or three years a
considerable increase in the conSump-
ton OF oranges has been effected
through advertising certain weeks as
"Orange" week, during which fruit of
especial quality would be put on the
market and very reasonable prices
would prevail. Much has been done
to popularize this fine fruit through
just such well managed publicity cam
paigns. Following along lines some
what similar. the raisin growers of
California adopted a scheme last
spring, advertising April % extensive

cultivate a taste for and increase the
consumption of raisinS as Il table fruit
While not all Of the thirty-fve tons of
raisins produced in the San Joaquin
valley in 1908 We're disposed Of as Il
result Of the campaign, much greater
quantity was consumed than would
have been under normal conditions.

\ sketch of the history of the alfalfa
plant appearing in a late agricultural
paper holds that it originated south
west of the central part Of Asia. which
is the district generally credited with
being the location Of the garden Of
Eden. If this theory can be worked
out 1t seems that we should have a
feeling of gratitude for Adam for be
ing the disseminator Of this great
legume, in spite of the fact that W.
usually credit him with being rrSpon-
sible for weed pests that succeeding
generations haze been cursed with.

A Peruvian strain Of alfalfa is be-

the department predict that it will be
introduced into the northern states in

Some experiments which have been
conducted by the department of agri-
culture have made clear the important
fact that the work of insects, and es-
pecially the borer known as the saw
yer" may be very greatly reduced If
the bark of such trees is removed
within a month after being blown over
or if they are cut into logs without
removing the bark and placed in ponds
or streams. In the case of timber
which is allowed to lie with the bark
on 1t has been found that its value
Is reduced about one-third within a
period Of two months. When so much
attention is being given TO a cOnserva-
ton of our forest resources, sug-
gestiOn of this kind ought to be well
received by those whom 1t most di-
rectly concerns.

A NEW MlCROBE.
Kills 10000 Children In France Every
 Year.

Paris, December 1s.-(Special. )--Medical circles and the people of France nave been startled by the announcement or new discovery by Professor Metchnikon of the Pasteur institute. He has dis- covered a microbe called the proteus. which he says kills at least 10000 French children every year
 The microbe Is that of gastro-enteritis, and it lives on the surface of apples and other friuts. salads and the rind Of cheese. It is dangerous not only to children. but to grown-up people also.
 Professor Metchnikoff says. however. that the microbe can easily be killed. Before preparing fruit for children peo- ple should be careful to wash their hands with soap, and not to dry them. for soapy water Is a beverage which the proteus abhors.
 Salads, fruits, and even cheese should be plunged either in soapy water or in boiling water before they are eaten.

 3. Great Ocean speed-Ths year 1909 has produced, by the stcamrhip Maure- tania the highest ocean speed yet at tained The Mauretania's record is as follows Eastward, highest days run, 610 knots shortest passage, 1 days, 13 hours, fl minutes (short track); highest aver age speed, 25.S9 knots Qong tracD. Westward, highest days run. 673 knots; shortest passage, days, 10 hours, 51 minutes (short track); highest average speed, 2608 knots (short track). The Mauretania holds all eastward and west ward records for highest daily runs, fastest passages, shortest passages and highest speed between the Irish coast and Sandy Hook.
 Allan Begins to F'ly-This same year has seen most wonderful demonstrations of the success of flying machines-not merely steerable balloons. but machines that are heavier than air and yet really fly in spite of this weight. Prominent in many daring flights during the year have been: In America the Wright brothers; in Germany, Count Zeppelin (with his huge, metal-covered dirigtble balloon); and in France. M. Bleriot (who was first to cross the English channel in flying machine)
 6. The Wireless Telephone-Another wonderful achievement Is the ability to send the voice through space without wires. With the wireless telephone. the voice produces electrical vibrations. and these travel through as do the electrical waves of wireless telegraphy. One writer has expressed it thus: The difference is precisely that between shouting to a man across the street and talking to him over the wire, save that the radi- ophone hurls the sound waves over greater distances than the unaided voice."
 What next? Our month January was named after the old Latin god Janus, who was supposed to have two faces. looking in opposite directions-forward and back-or toward both the past and the future. QIis fanciful image, hold ing the keys of past and future. is woven into the headpiece on page 266). And two-headed Janus, in this particular January, has mighty achievements of mankind to behold in the realms of na- ture and science. The opportunities and possibilities of the future will al- ways be greater than the accomplish ments of the past. But we seldom have SD -'rch in one year to be proud of as we had in 1909 and 1909.

he dictated to an amenuensis, and his compositions now number over 12o.
 For the past two years he has been a pupil of the renowned Leschetizky, and his execution at recent recitals is d thing to be wondered at, when the fact that all his music has had to be learned by Braille notation is taken into con- sideration. Before going to Leschetizky, Richter studied in Vienna with M Joseph Labor, who is also blind.
