nation has the largest section dovOeeu
to It and all branches Of ita history
are we'll represented. The collection OF
material for United States history Is
by far the best in Germany and an
excellent selection. Besides the Ger
man and American sections the library
L. especially strong in It's collection OF
Belgian, English colonial, East Asiatic
and a still more remarkable collection
in the Chinese and Japanese sections.
Another remarkable fact about the Ii.
brary Is that the books here deal not
only with political, constitutional and
economical history. but also with the
history of art, music, sculpture. relig-
ion, education, TANNERS and customs.
The idea Is that knowledge of all the
different kultura branches is necessary
really to understand the history of
people So we find here an unusually
rich assortment of art collections, at

dren from all nations, family letters
Of the earlier centuries, many that
cannot be found elsewhere.

A MEXICAN HERRApERo.
First Day of Cattle ROund-UP = Dis-
play of CharrO's Skill.

First Day of Cattle ROun0SUp = DIE
play of CharrO's skill.
Preparations are being made in
many ranches and haciendas for the
annual ceremony of the herradero. or
branding Of the new cattle, which Is
a motive for a grand fete In all stock
raising ranches and haciendas of the
country, according to the Mexican
Herald.
The herraderos are held on big
plains called de brote tlerno. These
plains are usually beautiful prairies,
where grandstands are erected for the
guests of honor, while other witnesses
see the branding of the cattle and the
''suertes" executed by skillful horse
riders from carts prettily adorned for
the occasion.
From early in the morning people
begin to flock to the prairie where the
| herradero Is to be held. There are
q number of tents or shades made with
petates fxed to a single pole, around
which people assemble and take their
breakfast, which consists Of cheese,
/ AnAAA eh1uu bOOtOp Will oOAhO PAASASAAAS'
There are also, under petate shades,
several small orchestras. AS rule
musicians who form such orchestras
are men In white breaches and shirt,
with q very big sombrero, but with
very little knowledge of music; they
can themselves musicos liricos, be-
cause they know nothing about music,
but they claim to have muy buen dido
"a very good earl.
These orchestras play all the time,
until the amo, or owner Of the hacien-
da, comes with his party to see the
herradero.
The arrival Of the amo Is saluted
, with enthusiastic vivas. This is the
signal for the charros who are going
to take part in the herradero to ap-
) pear, salute the amo and get ready.
These charros, as rule, are young
. men Of means, either relatives Of the
amo or owners of neighboring ranches
: and haciendas. They are all mounted
on very fine horses, wear rich clothes
a and sombreros embroidered with silver
and gold, and have rich saddles o.
q the kind called sillas vaquer embroid
d cred all over with gold and silver.
Cattle are let one by one into the
inclosure, which has been surrounded
. by wire or cord fence. AS soon as
4 an animal appears one Of the charros
runs after 1t, catches its tail and by
T. rapid turning of the direction of his
a horse the charro throws 1t to the
IS ground. When the animal regadns Its
feet other charros lasso 1t and take
y it to the place where 1t Is to be brand
ed.
Some Of the charros are extremely
u skillful with the lasso and the feat
they perform cause the spectators Il
go wild with enthusiasm.
+ The herradero lasts all day long
But this is only the first day, general
:. ly a Sunday. After that day thu
10 branding of cattle Is continued withou
much ceremony, If any.

Fools GOLD.

Pyrite, or sulphide of iron, occurs
quite freely in the iron measures and
granite cash viens in upper Michigan.
1t has a brassy color and is known as
fools gold" by reason of its similari-
ty to the yellow metal in the opinion
of the inexperienced. The miners call
1t "mundic.' Few people appreciate
the great value of this mineral. Its
principal use is in making sulphuric
acid, and in that form it is consumed
in very large quantities, much of 1t en-
tering into the refining Of kerosene oil
as we'll as being used extensively in
the manufacture of artificial fertIliz-
ers.-Mining World.

We Are Cutting Them Three Times
a. Fast as They Are
Growing.
B5o.ooo.ooo ACRES OF WOODLAND
ChOapness and Abundance Of Timber
Has Made Us Reckless In
Its Use.

THE total yearly drain upon our
forests, not counting losses from nres'
storms, and insects, Is some twenty
billion cubic feet" says r. S. Kellogg
assistant forester in charge OF the OF
fee of forest statistics, In publlca-
ton Just issued by the Forest Service
on 1.-THE Timber Supply OF the United
States"
"Our present forest area Of $50 mil
lion acres may be roughly estimated
to consist of 200 million acres OF ma
ture forests, In which the annual
growth is balanced by death and de-
cay, Of $50 million acres partially cut
or burned over, on which, with rea-
sonable care, there is sufficient young
growth to produce in the course OF
time a merchantable, but not full
crop Of timber, and 100 million acres
of more severely cut and burned over
forests, on which there Is not sum-
cient growth to produce another crop
of much value.
Taken as whole, the annual
growth Of our forests under these con-

feet per acre, total of less than seven
billion cubic feet. That is, we are cut
ting our forests three times as fast
/ as they are growing. There Is men
ace In the continuance Of such cond1-
lions. While we might never reach
absolute timber exhaustion, the I'M
restricted exploitation of our forests
in the past has already had serious
effects, and it will have much worse
II 1t is allowed to continue unchecked.
white pine, for instance, which
was once considered inhaustible, has
fallen off seventy per cent in cut since
1890, and more than forty-f1ve per
cent since 1900. The cut of oak, our
most valuable hardwood lumber, has
decreased sixteen per cent since 1900,
and that Of yellow poplar twenty-five
per cent. The same story will be told
Of other woods II they are not con-
served.
THE fact that timber has been cheap
and abundant has made US careless of
its production and resckless in its
use. We take $50 cubic feet of wood
per capita annually from our forests,
while Germany uses only thirty-seven
cubic feet, and France but twenty-five.
On the other hand, Germany, who has
J learned her lessen, makes her state
forests produce an average Of forty
eight cubic feet Of wood per acre. We
have as fast-growing species as Gar
many, or faster, and as good or better
forest soil II we protect 1t.
The necessity for more farm land
may eventually reduce our total for
est area to 100 million acres less than
It L. at present. 1t Is entirely posi-
BILE, however, to produce on $50 mil
lion acres as much wood as a popula
ton much greater than we have now
win really need If all the forest
land Is brought to its highest produc
ing capacity and II the product II
economically and completely utilized
But to reach the necessary condition
Of equilibrium between timber produc
ton and consumption will take many
years Of vigorous effort by individual
: forest owners, by the States, and b.
the National Government. None O
: them can solve the problem alone; al
must work together"

MotOrmnn Goes to Prison

German public opinion applauds the
harsh sentence of twenty-one months
Imprisonment and hard labor inflicted
on the motorman Of the electric sub
way train responsible for the disaster
last September in which nineteen lives
were lost, a Berlin correspondent OF
the New York Times says.
The sentence exemplifies the German
theory that criminal negligence re-
quires to be punished to the full ex-
tent Of the law in all cases as a terri
BILE reminder to all persons whose oc-
cupation has to do with the care of
human lives.
The motorman in question submitted
a defense which would have cleared
hin in an American court, but he was
made martyr of the immutab,e Teu.
ton practice Of holding somebody re-
sponsible for every accident that oc-
ours on railway lines and Furnishing
him in accordance with the damage
done.
The result of this system is a maxi
mum Of care and precaution, which
makes travelling on German railways
safer perhaps than on any other great
trunk llues in the world. No accident,
large or small, is ever permitted to
pass without the most rigid investiga.
ton, and the cause and culprit are al
ways detected and penalties invariably
inflicted. This is the rule whether the
lines are owned by the state or a pri.
vate corporation. The motorman, who
has just been sentenced, was an en-
