NEW JERSEY FOREST FIRES.
More Than 10000 Acres Burned Over
In the Past Year.

Trenton, N. j., Dec. 14.-The forest
park reservoir commission says In Its
annual report to Governor Fort that
during the last year there were 6o9
forest fires in New Jersey, covering an
area of 91,34o acres and involving a
loss Of $149,219.
The report says the commission Is
convinced that forestry in the state is
almost useless unless means can be
provided to keep the fires under rea-
sonable control. 1t is useless, the COM
mission says, to advocate forest plant
ing or to urge that woodlands be
cared for 80 long as no assurance can

FOR FUTURE RAILROAD TIES
Experiments on Large Scale to De.
termine Which Wood Will Give
Most Satisfaction.

There are a vast number of seed
lings planted for the purpose Of ulti.
mately being made into railroad ties
that have never been tried for the pur-
pose to which it is intended to put
these trees when they reach maturity,
but which might prove even superior
for that purpose to the trees that have
already been selected. These seed
lings are being grown for the purpose
of providing railroads with variety
of trees SO that experiments can be
made in the future to determine which
particular tree is actually the best for
furnishing the all important rail on the
company's way.
1t will be 40 years or SO before the
trees that now are in a Seeding state
will have attained a growth sufficient
to justify the forestry department in
cutting them down for railroad ties.
The plan is to nurse the seedlings
along at the forestry reservation until
they are sufficiently big to permit
transportation. They will then be
taken up and replanted in some of the
hlduy FdCdIL ldlluS owned ny LQG rail-
roads.
The seedlings will be planted six
feet apart and will then have to take
their chance OF surviving The foster

THE SENATE AND WOMAN.
Upper House Set Against Giving Her
the Ballot.

This is true talk. Some days ago
l made pact with the ladies of this
land of liberty to search out senate
sentiment touching woman and tho
ballot. I did my best. Also in the
more important particular to which
my hunting was addressed, failed.
It was part of my plan, the part of
consequence, indeed, to identify to
woman what statesmen of our upper
house were most obdurately set
against granting her the ballot and all
to the end that she might surely know
where and how to plant the jayelins,
or rather hatpins, of her argument to
secure best result
1t was in that element of Identified
ton my efforts went ashore. Not one
of those togaed, hoary recreants,
while bold enough to voice an atti-
tude inimical to woman, owned what
honest courage was needed to let me
use his name.
In one sense, perhaps, this skulking
timidity might be regarded as COM
pliment. Certainly it spoke for the In
trepid death-defying sort Of lovely
woman, when men, grown old in strife
and who have stood up against the un-
blinking iron without flinching, took
to the shivering woods at first sug.
gestion to link their names with those
anti-woman, suffrage views to which
they gave expression.
In the sense general the majority,
almost the unanimous senate feeling,
is unfriendlyr to woman's cause"
did not talk with all. In truth, I but
personally probed the souls of ten.
But, taking the broader course, went
to leeward of the senate, and what
scent of sentiment gathered was one
of unbroken hostility to woman and
her rights. Alfred Henry Lewis

FORTY YEARS ON LOCOMOTIVE
Lloyd Clarke, Recently Dead, Had
Record Any Railroader Might
Be Proud OF.

Lloyd Clarke, 50 years old, p Pres
ident's engineer" for years member
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers, died in the Memorial hospital
at Long Branch, N. j., of kidney dis
ease after a long illness A trip to
Europe last summer failed to restore
his health. He entered the railroad
service at nine years of age as
water boy on the Erie, and lost his
hearing at 10 while fireman on the
Pacific railroad in cloudburst in the
Sierras About this time he met
Thomas A. Edison, then a railroad
telegrapher, and also deaf, and they
shared the same blanket on at least
one occasion.
Before he attained his majority
Clarke was promoted to locomotive
runner through an oversight of the
general superintendent after he had
been fireman On the first double-head-
er that ever crossed the Rockies. One
of his first assignments as an engineer
was to carry the Boston board Of
trade over the Truckee division in a
Pullman special. He made a friend
also of Coils P. Huntington, president
of the road, who on many occasions
shared his footboard. When hired as
an engineer by John Taylor Johnson,
late president of the Jersey Central
railroad, over many older hands, he
ran the first train from Lcng Branch
to New York, with President Grant on
board, June Is, 1875 In later life he
was sent out on new engines desig-
mated for speed to show to those who
came after him the possibilities of
each machine.
But it was not in speed that En-
gineer Clarke took most pride, but in
his mastery of the Westinghouse air
brake. During his last days it was
computed that he had been a passen-
ger engineer 40 years, had run more
than 100000 miles over the open
road and had never killed passenger.
He only had one wreck, a collision at
Sea Girt in 1908. There were few pas
sengers ON the train. Clarke saved
himself by jumping at the last me-
ment, but received scar on the head
from flying wreckage. Investigation
showed that he was not to blame.

He was in a sort of dream while
the hanson rolled down st. James

perceive anything of the gorgeous
panorama of London's nucleus of pal

horses echoed upon the macadam of

tain in the center, surrounded by an
immense quadrangle of buildings.

hand, and with an almost uncontrolla-
BILE anxiety manifested in his every
movement.
Basil followed him into large and
beautifully furnished ROOM
Michael Grant was, of course, the
greatest athlete that England had
ever known, and one of the most
popular men in society; but-in con-
Itradiction to the habits OF many men
of his stamp-he had cultivated an
interest in aesthetics. Because he
happened to hold the worlds record
for the mile, had been triple Blue at
Oxford, and was laurel crowned in
many a mighty contest of the body,
yet he did not disdain intellectual and
artistic pursuits.
