100000 Trees Planted.

From Moody's Magazine.
The trees used in the national expert
raents in reforestattOn are grown at eight
government nurseries in the existing ma
tional forests out West. These eight sta
tIons now contain over 100000 trees from
one TO three years old. The preliminary
stage Of forest planting within the na-
t!onal forests is now past and several OF
the planting stations have produced trees
Of sufficient size TO plant directly on the
permanent site. About zoo 900 trees were
planted during the winter and spring Of
1907 At the nursery in the Dismal River
National Forest more stock has reached
an age suitable for planting than at the
other stations. This nursery contains ap-
proximateIy 2,5OOO0O trees. At present
there are about 100000 trees for planting
in the sand hills. The species largely in
use up TO this time are Western yellow
pine and jack pine. These species, chiefly
Scotch pine, Norway pine, and Douglas
fir are being tested IN the nursery and
In experimental plantations. The State
forests Of Saxony, comprising $4,000 acres.
are in charge of a forestry bureau at a
yearly expense which averages S3 for each
acre, but such Is the extent and value Of
the timber and other products that the
net yearly revenue averages $3.50 an acre
after deducting all expenses. The ap-
propriation Of the United States for the
Bureau OF Forestry is so insignificant that
Il amounts 20 q little less than one cent
for each acre.

CAN PLANTS ON FULL TIME.
Baltimore Concern VIII Run at Fall
Capacfty Next Month.

Baltimore. March Z7-The management
OF the American Can Company has issued
orders 10 increase the working forces in
the company's two plants in Baltimore on
APRIL
The plants have been operating about
one-third OF their capacity since Novem-
Der. but on April the output VIII be IN
creased to about 80 per cent Of normal.
Six weeks later. II Is expected. the fac
tories viii go on full time and employ a
total OF about l 800 hands There has been
no material increase In the demand since
the first Of the year and the volume Of
business booked IN that time Is reported
as but little larger than for the same
period In 1908.
During the last week. however. inquiries
have been received nom all sections OF
the country, and X Is believed a much
stronger demand IS 20 be expected in the
near future. Since the reduction Of s. a
ton in the price OF tin plate the American
Can Company has made heavy specifica-
tions on its plate contract with the
United States Steel Corporation An Of
fetal says. however. the reduced cost Of
plate does not mean an increase in the
company's margin OF profit
All the American Can Companys con-
tracts with its customers are made on a
sliding scale price, ard whenever there
is any change IN the price OF raw ma
terial a corresponding change Is made in
the price Of the finished product Conse-
quently the whole beneft OF a reduction
in the cost OF plate goes 70 the customer
Of the company.

STATUS OF The 2-CRNT RATE
Contest in Middle West Goes to
Court for Settlement.
Railroads Maintain that Carrying
Freight on such Terms Is
Unremunerative.

Representatives Of the passenger trafic
departments Of the Missouri railroads met
in Chicago on Monday for the purpose Of
lining up tariffs on the Scent basis and
making all arrangements in detail for
restoring rates IN that State on April 10
This is in accordance with the resolution
adopted at the meeting Of the executive
officers IN Chicago last Monday.
After consideration OF the Missouri case
the executives Of the Western lines dis
cussed the application Of the FEDERAL
rate situation generally. and It was deter
mined TO contest the 2-cent rate laws in
all Western states. The Missouri law
prescribing q 2-cent rate was passed and
put in effect before such laws we're passed
in ether States. and while suits acre fiIed
IN Kansas. Nebraska, and Minnesota. q
was thought best by the railroads 20 await
the decision of the court il the Missouri
case before pressing 10 a conclusion the
rases N the other States.
Action Is now being taken by he attOr-
neys of the railroads toward pushing tht
cases where suit has been filed and N.
stituting suits in the other States which
now have a 2-cent rate. The 2-eent rate
was enjOined in Arkansas and the rail
roads have been getting 3 cents IN thai
State for the last three months
St. Louis officials of Missouri lines sail
that they were at a loss 10 understand
why the governor and other public Ct
ficials were endeavoring TO prevent tn,
restoration Of the Scent rate. The rail
roads claimed from the first that cents
was not a remunerative rate. and wher
cents was rejected as being unremuner
ative IN such States as New York and
Pennsylvania with their dense traffic, &
could not be supposed that the railroadi
in the Western States, with much lighter
traffic, could live under such a rate anC
give the public the service which II de
mands. After keeping the 2-cent rate il
effect in Missouri at an immense loss Il

railroads submitted the matter 70 IN,

The Penguin,s wings.

From the Chicago Tribune
OrnIthological puzzles are the penguins,
with their euriously shaped wings and
odd unbfrdlike upright carriages. The
.peculiarities OF their wings suggest that
the penguins are descendants Of birds
which used their wings rather than their
legs in the pursuit Of prey under water.
and as the struggle intensified between
the competing individuals. the most ex-
pert az this sort OF swimming would get
the most food and oust their less success
full rivals. The winners gained advan-
tage over their neighbors IN proportion
es their wings improved as swimming
organs, and inverseiy and Of necessity
became less suited 10 perform the work
Of flight. In all other birds the feathers
though shed annually. are more or less
gradually displaced: but in the pengums
the new feathers all start into being at
the same time and thrust out the old
feathers upon their tips so that these
come away IN great fakes. Whereas in
all birds save penguins the new feathers
as they thrust their way through the
skin end In penciI-like points, formed by
investing sheaths. in the penguins these
sheaths are open az the tips and at
tached by their rims 70 the roots OF the
old feathers. and hence these are held to
their successors until they have attained
a sufficient length to insure protection
against cold. This curious device for re-
taining the warmth afforded by the old
feathers until the new generation can
Ill their places is apparently due 10 the
| fact that penguins are natives Of the ant
arctic regions. although some now in
habit tho tropical seas

Port Costs at NiuchwanE.

The port Of Niuchwang is closed by ice
about November 80 and opens about
March 30. During the months OF Nay
and September steamers can cross the
bar drawing eighteen feet; should they
strike spring tide and a south wind.
eighteen and six-tenths feet would be a
safe draft for them 10 enter: before May
and after September. ships should not be
loaded deeper than seventeen feet. as
these months are generally accompanied
by a north wind which drives the water
out Of the gulf, and thus lessons the
draft Of water on the bar The depth Of
water alongside the wharf al low water
IS seventeen feet. Expenses for discharg-
ing are: Stevedoring. $40 gold per 100 tons
when cargo Is delivered into consigned S
lighters OF agents godOwns; and in the
event OF steamers engaging tallymen
their wages are 81. or 20 cents gold, per
day or part Of day. above this there are
no extra expenses connected with dis
charging.

SCHOOL ON WHEELS
Pennsy Starts Educational
Train Through State.
WILL TEACH HORTICULTURE
Demonstrations In Spraying and
Pruning Fruit Trees and shrub
berry VIII he Given in PennsyI-
vania--In Charge OF zOOIOgist OF
state Department OF Agriculture.

Probably the most extensive plan yet
undertaken to educate farmers by means
OF a school on wheels" was set IN mo-
ton last Monday. when an educational
train left Harrisburg on the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad.
This train Is OF an unusual character
by reason Of the fact that for a continu-
Gus period OF three weeks instructions In
spraying and pruning fruit trees and
shrubbery win be given TO farmers Of
Eastern Pennsylvania Some thirty-five
stations viii be visited by the train,
which will be in charge OF Prof H A.
Surface, economic zoologist OF the State
department OF agriculture.
Part of General Movement
This movement is 10 supplement the
work that has already been done by the
railroad company in running farmers
| special trains. According to Prof. Sur
face. it is now proposed TO show practi-
cal methods OF pruning. spraying. and
otherwise caring for trees and shrubs in
order that farmers and fruit growers
may learn by observation just how this
important work is TO be done.
] Nothing the division o. zoology Of the
/ department Of agriculture has ever un-
dertaken has proved so important and 50
/ helpful to agriculturists as this OF demon
stration. I know that the railroad COM
pany is vitally interested. as every farm
| is a factory. and a small surplus means
only local sales. while large production
means shipment"
VIII Benefit Fruit Growers.
| It Is believed that the fruit industry OF
| Pennsylvania will be greatly benefited II
/ the growers Will avail themselves OF the
results OF the exhaustive study OF tree
! diseases and insects that has been made
by the State. The demonstrators are also
anxious TO reach the gardeners Of private
estates. and for that purpose stops are
TO be made at suburban points near Phil
adelphia-
The train win have two coaches that
j win be used for lectures and demonstra-
tions. Stops viii be from two 20 three
hours long 70 give time for general dis
eussions- Pamphlets containing instruc-
tions in spraying and pruning. as well as
| the different lectures on tree diseases
are to be distributed after the demon
stratiOns.
