In addition to the provided by the special improvement fund, $100,000 from the general fund of the service turned from current to defray the of this work but much of the work planned and urgently needed could not be ried out because there nothing with which to pay for it.
 The fire record also deserves mention. Since the fiscal ends in the midst of the fire reports of fires made not for fiscal but for calendar years During the calendar 1907 the loss of timber by fire less than half that of the previous though this in less than before. About one-seventh per cent of the forests burned in 1907, with damage slight to be practically negligible.

 This immunity fires must be ascribed chiefly to consistent efforts made in the past to n- the public to the danger of careessness in the use in the forest and to the recognized neces sity of vigilance to put out small fires. With able cooperation the part of the public to prevent fires reasonable provision for discovering and fight ing when they start really heavy losses are en-

 The beneficial results of regulated grazing. shown In decided beterment of much of the national forest range, made it possible to increase the allotment Of stock on number of the older forests. At the same time Investigations in range improvement through re- seeding methods of handling stock the eradication Of poisons plants and the destruction of prairie dogs brought important toward still better future of the forests by stockmen The development of water ing places is another that is being pursued to the end, while the killing of predatory wild ami mals by forest service hunters saved the stockmen losses probably greater the entire paid in grazing fees.

 One result of this policy has been to bring about a decline in the average pric e of the stumpage sold. In general high CT prices are ob- tainable through l ar g e t h a Il t h rou g h small sales.

 The studies in wood preservation and in the strength and physical properties of different kinds of wood maintained the position of the forest service as leader toward more eco nomical use of wood material. Spe- cial attention was given to working out practicable methods for treating farm timbers in small quantities. Studies in wood-pulp making showed that a merchantable pulp can be made from 15 woods not commonly used.

Prussia until tomorrow evening.
Troops swarm around the castle and
elaborate preparations to protect the
Czar have been made. No one not
duly authorized is allowed within q
mile of the castle.
The rapidly aging appearance Of both
the Car and Czarina startled those
who saw them to-day. Nicholas face
appeared careworn and was scanned
with heavy lines. His hair is becOm-
ing grey and he looks twenty years
older than his actual years. The
Empress seemed to be broken down in
health. She expressed her pleasure
at the peaceful atmosphere about the
castle and remarked that 1t was so
different in Russia.

NEW YORK. July 27.-Miss Gertrude
Hoffman, the Salome dancer. was re-
arraigned before Magistrate Steiner
today on the charge that her dance
was an immoral exhibition. The case
was continued until october 3, but not
before Miss Hoffman had offered to don
her Salome garb and do the dance In
the court rooms to prove TO the mag
istrate that It is not indecent. Her
offer was refused with thanks.
When Miss Hoffman entered the court
room today she was accompanied by
thre maids. who brought with them
small trunks, in which were contained
the costumes Miss Hoffman wears when
she is doing the Salome and the Men
delsohn Spring Song dance.
Through her attorneys. Miss Hot-
man offered TO retire TO one OF the side
rooms and don the costume, so that the
magistrate might see for himself
whether she wore tights. The magls-
trate refused 10 allow the free per-
formance, though he did say that Miss
Hoffman could continue her dane
nightly at a local roof garden, pro-
vided she wore tights.

always SHALL" said the dainty little
dancer.
