They are discussing the question of
national forestry in England, and an
enthusiastic advocate of the scheme
writes to the Spectator that there
should be an organized department as
there Is in France and Germany. He
cannot see why a national forest
should pay on one side Of the channel
and not on the other and he relates
some interesting experiences of his
own to prove the value of tree plant
Ing. He says that a dozen years ago
he planted some thousands Of Corsi-
can pine without any preparation of
the ground beyond placing little plants
In the grass or bare arabic fields, the
soil of which was such that only the
hardest working man could make a
bare living out of it. But, bad as this
soil was, many of the trees grew TWEEN.
ty to thirty inches in height in a year.
In another place, where cultivation of
the land was impossible, he planted
Sltka spruce, and during the last year
some of these trees have made a
growth Of three or four feet. OF still
anther experiment the writer says: II
sowed poor, ill-placed field with
acorns about thirteen years ago, run
ming the acorns In with the pillow, and
1t Is now a promising wood People
laugh at this as means Of making a
living but state which does not die,
Is In different position. I plant be-
cause 1t amuses me, and like to see
the things young. We should remem-
Der that a wood Is it's own cultivator
and finds its own manure, its own
moisture even in the hottest summers,
and for many years requires little la
Dor. 1t Is obvious that the State
could do much better than the indi-
vldual and also that it would have
acted wisely If it had tried to prevent
waste. We are more fortunate in this
country because the problem of con-
servation was pressed upon us while
the country was comparatively young,
but already enormous damage has been
done and we need not only to conserve
the old but to encourage the growth of
the new AS the English correspond
ent shows, it Is possible to grow tim
Der to advantage. This can be done by
private owners, who may thus assist
In the work of conservation, and the
government should be able to accom-
pl1sh much on the land that it re-
serves.

THE GIRAFFE.

Afr1ca's Second Story Worker with
the Long Distance Neck.
The giraffe is the second story work
er of the animal kingdom. 1t is a
merger of the zebra and the camel and
Is also a distant relative of the palm
tree. The giraffe consists of eight feet
Of neck equipped with a body at one
end and a head at the other. In the
matter of neck it has all the rest of
the animal kingdom beaten by
length. The giraffe's mouth is located
SO far from its stomach that 1t has tc
eat to-day to appease to-morrow's ap-
petite. Many giraffe has starved to

transcontinental esophagus.
The giraffe looks as if it had start.
ed out to be ZEBRA but, having reach
ed the shoulders, had kept on going.
1t Is very dark in color, marked by
yellowish brown stripes in handsome
linoleum pattern. It lives on tree tops,
eagles nests and rainbows. During the
Boer war the British army had some
difficulty with giraffes, which formed
great liking for war balloons and
frequently nibbled them during their
flight in order to inhale the gas.
Why does the giraffe have a long
distance neck?- Persons given to the
use Of common sense will realize that
Africa Is rich in insect life as we'll as
animal life and that all African ami
mails carry innumerable parasites on
their hides. The giraffe's head Is sc
far from his body that long neck is
absolutely necessary in order that he
may reach down and grab of tick
from his fetlock when necessary. Even
a child could see this.-Collier's Week.

THE PASSING OF H. H. ROGERS.
Former Grocery Boy of Fairhaven'
Mass, Who Became Money King.

Former Grocery Boy of Fairhaven,
Mass, Who Became a Money King.
The death of Henry Huttleston Rog-
ers, multi-millionaire and Standard
OIL magnate, came as shock to the
men Of the financial world Mr. Rog-
ers died of apoplexy, an ending which
he had reason to anticipate, for nearly
two years ago he had suffered from
stroke which compelled temporary
retirement from business activities.
Henry H. Rogers was a native OF
Mattapoisett, Mass, and was so years
of age when death brought to close
his marvellous career. AS a boy he
attended school in Fairhaven, Mass,
where his father was grocer-a town
which years afterward was the rec1p-
tent of his financial favor in many
ways. He began his business career
selling newspapers and driving de-
livery wagon for his father. Then he
worked as clerk in New Bedford for
SO week. After five years he became
a railroad brakeman and baggageman
at $116 per day. Shortly after reach
ing his majority he went with his
young wife to the Pennsylvania oil
country, taking with him his savings
with that group of Oil City boys many
of whom later were to be numbered
among the financial kings of America
In 1866, after five years in the oil
fields, he went to Brooklyn as partner
In the firm conducting the Charles
Pratt Oil Works.
In Standard Oil.
In 1874 the union of the chief oil
ref1ners in New York, Philadelphia,
Cleveland and Pittsburg brought into
existence the Standard Oil Company
and Rogers was in on the ground floor.
Second only to John D. Rockefeller,
he was responsible for the remark
able success Of that organization and
second only to him he reaped the
greatest financial reward.
Two great ideas Mr.. Rogers contrib
uted to the development of the oil
business. He invented the machinery
by which naphtha was first success
fully separated from the crude oil,
thus making the way for all that has
been done since in the use of naphtha
and its kindred products, and making
the handling and use of the residual
oil far safer than it had even been
before because the volatile constituent
had been removed.
OF late years Mr.. Rogers, with Will
lam Rockefeller, left the matter of oil
production and distribution with 9TH
ers, and devoted himself to the man
agement Of the many millions Of dol
larse which make the Standard Oil
Company one of the great financial
powers of the world.
Mr.. Rogers first wife was Lfbbie T.
Quilford, of Fairhaven, Mass. She
died fourteen years ago and year
later he married Emma Augusta Ran
dali, daughter of the head of big
diamond firm, and former wife of Lu-
cius R. Hart, whom she had divorced.
His wife and four children survive
him. His children are: Henry H.
Rogers, Jr.; Mrs. w. Benjamin, Mrs.
Urban H Broughton and Mrs. William
r. Coe The youngest daughter, Mae,
at the age of II, eloped in 1898 with

FLEETS TRIP MONEY WASTED.
By Justice Brewer.

The assertion that the best way to preserve
peace is to build up great navy and army
shows an ignorance of history. The trip OF
the fleet around the world, as boastful show
of our naval strength, has been nothing but
waste of money.
After all it's folly, its influence on the
Orient has not brought peace one day nearer.
Oyer five millions of the peoples money has
