WASHINGTON, Jan. Consul Henry
H. Morgan of Amsterdam furnishes the
following information concerning the
prevention of sparks and smoke from
locomotives and stationary furnaces in
Holland:
In Holland all railway locomotives
are under the supervision of the gov
ernment and, under the law, must be
provided with an apparatus for the
burning Of smoke, and also with an
apparatus to prevent, as far as possi-
bic, the ,ission of sparks and com
bustible matter. Before a new type of
locomotive is bought the railway COM
pany must furnish a drawing showing
the details thereof to the supervising
board of railways, which decides
whether the new type is acceptable;
and for all locomotives purchased the
company has to furnish the board with
statement containing, among other
things, a description of the contrivance
for the burning of smoke and of the
contrivance to prevent the emission of
sparks Every locomotive has to be
examined and approved by a govern

Foreign Trade of Middle King
dom Grows Hundred Mill
lion Dollars in Decade

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Vice Consul
William B. Hull of Canton transmits an
article from a Hongkong newspaper,
reviewing the export trade of China
from which the following statistics are
extracted:
How rapidly China is developing her
resources may be discovered from the
almost continuous increase in the total
value of the exports of Chinese prod
ucts during the last ten years In
1898 the exports amounted to somewhat
over 159,00O.00O taels (s111, 900. 0.0O0)
while in 1907 they amounted TO 264, $780,
697 taels (s2OS,S60, ,750).
In the direct exports to the various
countries the largest apparent con-
sumner is Hongkong, to which exports
to the value of 81 ,226, 434 taels (s76,-
S0S,SS2) We're shipped AS to the coun-
tries that eventually took those goods
through the medium of Hongkong it is
impossible to say.
The greatest actual customer of
China last year was Japan, including
Formosa, he exports thereto amount
ing to 39,347,476 taels ($31, $3.50
France came next with, says so SOC, 600
taels (S24,095,O00) raw silk accounting
for nearly one-half the total value; the
United States ranking fourth, counting
Hongkong, with over 26.500,000 taels
($20,93 ,000), Great Britain coming
next, with less than one-half that OF
the United States, being only some 12,-
O0O,O taels ($9,4S0,0 ,000); Russia IT,
600 900 taels ($19 100000. of which
about 10.750.0O0 taels went to its Pa
cific ports, 100000 taels' to its Euro
pean ports. and the remainder to Si-
IBERIA and Russia by land; Europe out

MAGNET RELIEVES
AN ACHING TOOTH
Dentist Receivers Steel Point
Lost in Cavity of MoIar With
a Charged Needle

One of the most delicate of all man
ufactured steel instruments is a barbed
steel point used by the dentist in ex-
tracing the nerve of a tooth. says the
Chicago Tribune 1t is reduced to the
thousandth part. of an inch in diam-
eter, while the fishhook barb near the
point is visible only through a glass.
In the work Of crowning a tooth it
is one of the necessities of the opera
ton that the nerve of the tooth be
killed. After killing the nerve ii is even
more necessary that the dead nerve be
harpooned by this delicate steel point
and drawn out of its cavity. And in this
operation a great deal of trouble re-
suits through this needle point break
ing off and becoming lost in the shell
Of the tooth.
Recently q west side dentist has had
a suffering patient because of such an
accident The mans jaw has been
swollen out of shape and the tooth
has been racking without mercy. Nat
urally, he hasn't known the cause of
the trouble but the dentist has known,
and has been racking his brains for a
solution of the problem. 1t came to
him the other day, with the aid of an
electrical engineer whom he con-
suited.
The engineer suggested an electrical
magnet whose point could be inserted
in the tooth and through magnetic at
traction pick UP the broken steel point
and remove it. He wound miniature
armature which could be connected
with an ordinary incandescent current.
Charged, the steel point of the mag
net was inserted in the tooth, with
the result that the infinitesmal nerve
spear sprang to meet it, clung, and
was lifted out. 1t was a typical eX-
ample of necessity becoming the moth
er of invention"
One of the embarrassing features OF
the instrument is that after 40 or sc
seconds of contact with the current
the magnet becomes heated to a point
bordering on the limit of human en-
durance. With a patient of inquiring
mind in the chair, ignorant of the pur-
pose Of the magnet, the necessity OF
an explanation may cause other lin

CHRISTMAS TREES
TO Be CULTIVATED
Industry Will Become Profitable
and Is Necessary to
Save Forests
Four Million Evergreen Shrubs
: Are Needed Every Year
for Festival

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2-The coun-
trys forests were called upon re-
Gently to supply about four million
Christmas trees, and again many per-
sons have asked themselves and have
queried the United States forest serv-
ice: rs the custom a menace to the
movement for forest preservation
In the millions of happy homes over
the country where the younger genera
tion has made the Christmas tree the
center of play since early Christmas
morning, there are many mothers and
fathers who have given the question
more or less thought From Sunday
schools and other organizations also,
which hold an annual celebration
around a gayly trimmed evergreen for
the benefit of the little ones, has come
the question whether it is consistent
to urge conservation of forest re-
sources and then to cut millions of
young trees every year to afford a lit
tie joy in the passing holiday season.
Yes it is consistent and proper that
the custom should be maintained" has
been the answer of United States For
ester Clifford Pinchot in every case.
Trees are for use, and there is no
other use to which they could be put
which would contribute so much to
the joy of man as their use by the
children on this one great holiday of
the year.
100000 CHRISTMAS TREES
The number of trees cut for this
use each year is utterly insignificant
when compared to the consumption for
other purposes for which timber is
demanded. Not more than four million
| Christmas trees are used each year
one in every fourth family. If planted
four feet apart they could be grown
on less than 1,500 acres. This clear
| ing of an area equal to a good sized
farm each Christmas should not be a
subject of much. worry when it is re-
membered that for lumber alone it is
necessary to take timber from an
area of more than 100000 acres every
day of the year.
TT is true that there has been
serious damage to forest growth in
the cutting of Christmas trees in vari-
Gus sections of the country, particu-
! larly in the Adirondacks and parts OF
New England; but in these very sec
tions the damage through the cutting
of young evergreens for use at Christ
mas is infinitesimal when compared
with the loss of forest resources
through fires and careless methods OF
| numbering The proper remedy is not
to stop using trees but to adopt wiser
methods of use.
1T is generally realized that GER
tain proportion of land must always be
used for forest growth, just as for
other crops. Christmas trees are one
form of this crop. There is no more

reason for an outcry against using land
to grow Christmas trees than to grow
flowers"
NEED OF CARE IN CUTTING
The forest service upholds the Christ
mas tree custom, but recognizes at the
same time that the indiscriminate cut
ting of evergreens to supply the holiday
trade has produced a bed effect upon
many stands of merchantable kinds of
trees in different sections of the coun-
try. Waste and destruction usually re-
suit when woodlands are not under a
proper system of forest management.
Foresters say that it is not by denying
ourselves the wholesome pleasure OF
having a bit of nature in the home at
Christmas that the problem of con-
serving the forests will be solved. but
by learning how to use the forests
wisely and properly. The ravages
through forest fires must be checkt a.
the many avenues of waste of timber
in its travel from the woods to the mill
and thence TO the market must be
closed, and almost numberless import
ant problems demand attention before
the Christmas tree.
Germany is conceded to have the
highest developed system of forest
management of any country, yet its pei
cdplld use OF 0HTlSlindS trees Is great
est. The cutting of small trees for
Christmas is not there considered in the
least as a menace to the forest, but. or
the contrary, as a means of improving
the forest by thinning and as a source
of revenue. 1t is therefore constantly
encoura ged.
WILL BECOME AN INDUSTRY
There is little doubt that the
time will come when the Christmas
tree business will become a recognized
industry in this country, and that as
much attention will be given to ii as
will be given to the growing of crops
of timber for other uses. This time
may not be far off, for it is already un-
derstood that only through the prac-
tice of forestry, which means both the
conservation of the timber which re.
mains and carefully planned systems
of reforestation, will it be possible tC
supply the country with its forty billioI
feet of lumber needed each year, a:
well as the few million little trees used
at Christmas time.

(White Pine News.)

(White Pine News.)
A red letter day was marked last
Friday in the history of the local coun-
Gil of the knights of Columbus when
class of eighteen candidates was ini-
tiated into the mysteries of the order.
At IL o'clock in the morning solemn
high mass was celebrated in Sacred
Heart church by Rev. Father Collins
of Eureka, New, as celebrant, assisted
by the Very Rev. Father Guinan, S. NJ,
of All Hallows college, Salt Lake City,
as deacon, and Rev. Father Sheehan
as sub deacon. The Rev. P. M. Cush-
nahan of ogden, Utah, preached the
sermon, which was an eloquent and
forceful discourse. He explained the
meaning of true knighthood in the
world today and enjoined the candidates
to carry out and live in their daily
lives the lessons taught by their church
and the organization which they were
about to join.
The music, which was exceptionally
fine, was rendered by the choir under
the able direction of Miss Doyle. At
ter the mass, solemn benediction of the
blessed sacrament was given.
The initiatory ceremonies were held
in the afternoon in Rockhill-S -Shallen-
barger hall commencing at 1 o'clock.
The first and second degrees were Civ
en- by Grand knights Nealon and Ma
guire of Ely and Ogden councils, as
sisted by their staffs. The third de-
gree was conferred by District Deputy
Edward McGuerin of Salt Lake City,
assisted by T. j. Tanning, Angus Nc
Kellar, Jr., F. ]. Carten, T. j. O'Brien
and Roy T. Byrne of Salt Lake City,
at the conclusion of which knighthood
was conferred by State Deputy T. ].
O'Brien of Utah.
In the evening a sumptuous ban
quet was served in st. Lawrence hall
by the ladies of the parish, which was
attended by the visiting clergymen and
members of the order. Roy T. Byrne
officiated as POSTMASTER and supposed
his well-known and justly earned fame
in that capacity. Brilliant responses
were made by the Rev. Fathers Guinan
Collins, Cushnahan and Sheehan. Other
speakers were T. J. O'Brien, Angus Nc

his dog knows more about him than
the greatest anatomist or vivisectionist,
