was current among the men on the yes

definite has been learned concerning the
installation of system in the Oceanic
boat, but it is extremely probable that
this will be done within the next six
months
Recent accidents at sea, the news of
which has been flashed ashore by means
of the delicate instruments, has, it is
said, brought forcibly to the notice of
the owners of the Alameda the efieien-

extent on the waterfront, that the news

Prussia Well MANAGED

tity. Between 1880 and 1904 the per-
Centage of saw timber rose from 10
per cent to 81 per cent.
1t is a striking fact in this connec-
ton, that in the United States at the
present time, the people use about
three times as much timber as the
forests grow. If we were everywhere
practicing forestry with a resulting
improvement equal to that made IN
Prussia, the forests OF this country
would be growing as much as we use.
The financial returns in Prussia
make an even better showing. Net
returns per acre in 1850 were %
cents. In 1865 they were 72 cents;
in 1900, $1.58; and in 1904, $3.50
They are now nearly ten times what
they were 60 years ago, and they are
increasing more rapidly than ever.
These results have been obtained in
Prussia along with almost ideal tech
nical success. When what is wanted
Is a sustained yield from the forest
year by year in the long run, it Is
clearly necessary to have always
certain number Of trees ready 10 be
cut: there must be a proper proper
ton of trees of all ages. This per-
centage has been secured and main
tanned with almost mathematical ac-
curacy. sffs

Prussia has national forests, cover
ing nearly 100000 acres, which are
made up much as if the pineries Of
the southern states of this country
and the forests of some of the middle
Atlantic and central states were COM
bined. When forestry was begun by
Prussia. a great part of the timber
land had been injured by mismanage-
ment, much as American forests have
been. and the Purssial foresters had
to solve the problem of improving the
rundown forests out of the returns
from those which were still in good
condition. They solved it with strik-
ing success. Immense Improvement
has already taken place and is stead
lily going on.
The method Of management adopted
calls for a sustained yieId-that is, no
more wood is cut than the forest
produces. Under this management
the growth Of the forest, and conse-
quentlv the amount cut, has risen
sharply. In 1880, the yield was 20
cubic feet per acre; in 1865, "a cubic
feet: in 1890, 50 cubic feet, and 1904,
SIS cubic feet. In other words, Prus-
sian forest management has multi
piled the rate Of production threefold
in rs years. And the quality of the
product has improved with the guam

Whine Shoes at Home

thoroughly shaken and the liquid ap-
piled with a brush.
The authority responsible for he
above information also added: "If
one wishes to tint white shoes to
match dresses, etc, there is a dye
that can be added to this solution
that will create the desired shade.
This mixture must be shaken before
it is put on.
White Suede.
After hearing this advice, the though
came to me that white shoes, after
becoming too shabby to restore salts
factorily, might be treated to a coat
Of tan or other dark color to prolong
| their usefulness.
While suede shoes can be cleansed
with a powder, there Is a liquid which
is said to be better. The only obJec-
ton to the latter is that the nap or
| dull surface of the suede Is destroyed,
giving the appearance Of finished kid,
but this 1 find can be restored by
brushing the kid the wrong way with
a rag or soft broom. The shoes will
then look like new.
For white kid or buckskin a good
pipeclay Is the best agent for preserv-
! ing wilderness. When the Welts are Of
! patent leather, as they often are, and
the uppers of white kid, soil may be
easily removed. For after taking a
damp, warm rag, the gloss may be
! restored by rubbing with a mixture
of ink and olive oil IL equal quanti-
ties, or failing that . little warm
milk.
The latter is safer, perhaps, because
should a little work into the white kid
it would leave no black stain. At the
same time, milk is apt to turn kid
slightly yellow, so even this should
| be used with care.
All shoes should be allowed to dry
! thoroughly on wooden trees or their
! substitutes.

to cover the losses annually caused
by the diseases of plants and the var
iOus troubles Of farm crops, accord
ing to Mr.. orion. He says the losses
from the cereal rusts and from the
numerous minor troubles Of farm
crops, concerning which accurate data
are difficult to secure, amount to
hundreds of millions of dollars them
selves. He estimates the loss from
smut in oats at over $6,50O,OOO; from
smut in wheat, $14,OOO,OOO; from bar
ley smut. $2,0OO,OOO, and he says the
combined effects of the several kinds
of leaf blight in the potato is to
mfnish the yield of this crop over
S36 100000 a year. Vast as is the
direct loss from plant diseases, the
indirect losses are also great. The
expense Of treating plant diseases is
very large.
Of still greater consequence is the
indirect loss resulting FROM the Tfmi
tation of industries. The risk from
disease frequently operates to reduce
the production of an otherwise vaIu
able crop and indeed in many cases
industries have been abandoned OIL
this account The history of the grape
industry in America affords severa
Illustrations of this. According to Mr.
Orion there has been of late mark
ed increase in public appreciation O
TIE Importance of improving crops
so as to enable them to ward off dis
ease. New methods have come into
use and valuable results have al
ready been secured. He predicts tha

much more plant breeding win be
done in the future. He says the pro
ductiveness of all crops must be in
creased and their quality improved.
Yield and quality are naturally the
first considerations but attention may
reducing injury from disease. Mr.,
Orion thinks It important that funda.
mental study be made Of dis
ease resistance. He says too little
information is available in the whole
field of breeding and the need fol-
investigation Is great. Problems Of
heredity ana of pathology must be
studied.
The greater number of plant dis
eases are due to parasitic plants,
usually fungi or bacteria, which live
in or on and at the expense of tie
crop. The study of the subject OF
parasites is a highly complicated
one. Climate and soil have much to
do, of course, with disease resistance.
One of the most interesting phases
If the problem relates to the inner.
itance of disease resistance. The de.
gree to which disease resistance is
inherited is naturally a matter of
fundamental Importance to the plant
breeder. Everything indicates that
disease resistance is inherited by
plants. The department of agricul.
ture is going steadily ahead in the
work of overcoming and avoiding
plant diseases. A method of spray
ing trees has been devised which eff
fectively prevents the bitter rot of

The coherer is the invention Of Mar
conf that makes it possible to divide the
electric waves spouting out from the
sending machine into regular dots and
dashes, so that these dots and dashes
can tell an intelligent message to the
receiving operator. The original coherer
was based on the weII-known fact that
metal filings have high resisting power
to an ordinary current of electricity, but
will line up Ike soldiers, shoulder to
shoulder, and conduct the electric power
Of an osciIlatory current. e, a cur
rent that GIBBS and flows like a big wave
on the ocean.
Thus the operator shuts down his key
or tapping machine like in ordinary tele-
graphing. This sends the oscillatory cleo
trio wave through the coherer-that is,
through the iron filings. Then he lifts
