White Races I'm The Tropics.

Doctor Gorgas, the new president OF
the American Medical Association, makes
the confident prediction that when the
year 1909 Is as old a. the Norman Con-
quest Is al the present time, the tropics
will be the centers OF as powerful and as
fine white civilization as my that will
exist In the temperate zones.
He bases the prediction largely upon
what has been accomplished in Cuba and
Panama. work In which he has him
self played prominent par-in the sue
cessful warfare against the diseases
which have hitherto been regarded as
making II impossible for the white man
TO thrive in the tropics.
A period OF eight or nine centuries Is a
long look into the future, and many far
stranger things are possible in that time
than realization Of the prediction. The
oldest civilizations which have left trace
behind them were In tropical or subtfopi-
cal regions, and their degree Of civihza-
ton was not one TO be despised from our
twentieth century viewpoint In more
northern lands.
n white civilization shall some day
flourish on the banks Of the Niger. the
Congo and the Amazon, II will naturally
be mainly an agricultural civilization, re-
lieving the strain which the increasing
demand for food will put upon the lands
OF the temperate rones as The worlds
population grows greater. The returns
for agricultural labor are far greater there,
and extensive manufacturing enterprises
are hardly conceivable under tropic skies.
There viii be other problems 10 deal
with in addition to yellow fever and ma
laria, the menace Of which Is now mini
mized-ihe sleeping-sickness, for exam
pie, and such things as proper dress and
diet, temperate habits aud fitting hours Of
labor. Can the white race retain its SUI
perior vigor Of body and mind, or will II
degenerate as Il drifts from The temperate
zone to the tropics? II is one thing for
man to protect himself agains, tropical
diseases, but quite another 10 resist the
enevating effect Of continual intense
heat.

In a Danish Street-Car.

You step aboard street-car in the city
OF Copenhagen, Denmark.
Good day." says the conductor.
"Good day" you reply, unless you are
boor.
BY and by he comes in to collect the
fares, You hand him crown value n
cents and you say as you do so, "lf you
please"
When he takes il IRON you he says,
"Thank you"
Then he gives you your change and
says, "If you please" You reply, OF
course, THANK YOU
But you are not finished with him yet.
From a little metal box suspended by a
strap from his neck he takes little red
ticket. He carefully tears off the one end
of it, and hands if TO you with another
"If you please" Again you have to say,
"Thank you"
This ticket you must retain during the
trip. II is your receipt. II, on a busy
day, the conductor should ask payment
of you second time, you have this TO
wag in his face.
The cars are driven by electric power,
and are scupulouSly clean. They take
passengers inside and on top, outside.
At the end of the car is ticket announc-
ing how many passengers may be carried.
When every seat is full board is hung
outside with the legend, "Fuldt Besat, I"
meaning "Full," and neither prayers nor
tears will help you then. You simply can
not get on. You may be very anxious TO
reach some point, or it may be raining
"old wives"-what matter The orders
Of the company must be obeyed.
Well, you want TO get off, You signal
to the conductor to stop. As you leave
the car he says Good day" or "Good
night" as the case may be. You reply
in the came words, and pass on.
Politeness costs nothing, and II keeps
people sweet. Besides, they learn It in
the schools. We need If here.

waste Of Wood Decreasing.

The waste wood heap continues to d.
minish and pass away.
Massachusetts manufacturer OF brush
es recently made discovery In Maine
which supplied him with material exact
ly suited TO his purpose. He went TO the
Pine Tree State 10 buy wood for the
backs ofhair brushes and the handles OF
shaving brushes, and CHANGED TO visit the
yards OF spool maker who was using
white birch. The spool man took the
white part Of the wood only, and was
throwing away the red hearts. Thousands
of cords had been burned or dumped in
the lake TO be rid Of II.
The red hearts were exactly what the
brush maker wanted, and at little more
than the expense of freight he supplied
his factory.
This is typical Of the trend OF manufac-
turidg. Waste Of wood is still great. but
i, IS decreasing. What one factory can
not use, another turns TO profit. Form-
erly mills threw away half the forest-tops
left in the woods, sawdust dumped in
streams to polute them and destroy fish,
slabs burned in popetual boniires, and
detectives logs and low grade lumber
abandoned as not worth moving.
This policy does not generally prevail
now. Some mills have put in machinery
TO work up their own by products, others
sell their waste 20 manufacturers who can
use Il, as In the case cited in Maine. The
properties and uses OF woods are now
subjects OF careful investigation, and the
problem OF turning 10 account The odds
and ends and the by-products Is brough,
more to the front now than formerly.
The United States Forest Service has
taken up this study In a comprehensive
and systematic way. Investigations OF
the woods OF particular states are being
conducted, usually In cooperation with
the states concerned. The plan, when
fully carried out, will include every COM
mercial wood in The United States, not
fewer than 200 species. The properties
Of each will be investigated, IFS hardness,
toughness, elasticity, durability, weight,
fuel value, size OF tree. regions where
grown, the common names by which il is
known in different localities, and other
matters Of this kind. A history OF the
woods uses in the past will be given and
an account ofpresent uses ; together with
suggestions for wider range OF useful
ness In the future by pointing out In what
capacities Il will serve best and be most
valuable

HABIT.

Habit at first is but silken thread,
Fine as the light winged gossamers that sway
In the warm sunbeams Of a summers day;
A shallow streamlet ripping DER its bed;
A tiny sapling. ere its roots are spread;
A yet unhardened thorn upon the spray;
A lions whelp that hath not scented prey;
A little smiling child obedient led.
Beware that thread may bind thee as chain;
That streamet gather TO fatal sea:
That sapling spread into gnarled tree;
That thorn, grown hard, may wound and give the'
pain;
That playful whelp his murderous fangs reveal:
That child. giant, crush thee meath his heel.
