Nasal women are scrupulously clothed,

Forest Is Important ia Lie of inc Nation

"More thorough Knowledge of actual forest conditions has brought wide realization Of the importance Of the forest In the life of the Nation,p says Tread dHeiI Cleveland, Jf., in speaking of the progress of forestry for the Inst year in the Year Book Of fhe Depart menf of Agriculture.
 "Enougb is now known 10 make im- peratlve a complete change In the me thods Q, forest Use, and fhe ways in which this change may best be brought about are discussed wifb equal interest by the specialist and the man iD the street.
 "National welfare, as well as iudivi- dual comfort, is seen to be dependent upon forest conservation. To this bet ter Knowledge and surer insight Is mainly due the progress which fores- try has made in the past year.
 "Unprecented forest fires served a similar purpose, so that the lesson which they taught, in spite of It's terri- fic cost, will probably pay for itself. With unapimity never before pafal- Ieled the people Of the country are de- manding that q stop be put to forest waste and destruction.
 "The more striking lines Of advance ment in forestry, in 1908, were the fol- lowing
 "l@. Through appropriate educa. tional channels, public interest In for est problems was secured more directly and effectively than ever before. Es- pecially valuable was Inc work begun in the schools, from the primary grades to the colleges. The press aided mate rially in making clear the need and purpose of forest conservation.
 "f2.) The management of the Nation al Forests was more scientific, and at the same time more satisfactory from Il business point Of view and more use ful to the public than ever before.
 "t8.) The State displayed n keener interest and liyelier activity in forest matters, and State Legislatures either passed or considered bills, In which ad- yaneed provisions were made for forest protection from fire and unjust taxa ton and for regulating the use of pfi- vate forest property in the interest Of the public welfare.
 "f4J A partial census taken among private forest owners furnished proof that the practice of private forestry Is extending more rapidly than was sup. posed, particularly among those who i'll their businesses nfe themselves users of forest products

This combination occurs frequently, tending to produce grayita- tional distortion of the earth's form, namely, to change the earth from q sphere to an eliipse. This extra strain often acts upon the weak spots in the earth's crust, causing them to give way and thus producing earthquakes or vol. canic eruptions.
 On Wednesday It happens that the planet Mars is also nearest 10 the earth and also almost directly in line with the earth, sun and moon, while saturn is not far from the same line. Jupiter, although far on the other side of the sun, k also in line with the earth. II is true that the effect Of these planets is very much less than that of the sun and the moon, but when their effect is added the strain will be greater than usual.
