TEACHERS TO COOPERATE WITH
FOREST SERVICE IN TREE
STUDY

Teachers throughout the country
have been invited by the United
States Forester to cooperate with the
forest service in an effort to obtain
more definite knowledge of the char
acteristics of the most important for
est trees of the United States. To do
this it will be necessary to obtain
large number of volunteer observers
who will collect material on the time
of leafing, poisoning and fruiting OF
the various kinds of forest trees. In
his letter inviting the cooperation or
the teachers, Forester Pinchot says:
knowledge of this kind is greatly
needed and will be of value from the
standpoint both of education and of
practical forestry. For educational
purposes the results obtained for
each species, averaged and presented
graphically by means of colored
charts, will be available to all who are
interested in the subject, and partic-
uIarIy to schools. They will form viz
tuaI tree calendars" and will be val
liable aids to nature study.
Children can readily be interested
in the actual work of obtaining rec
ords. This should form an attractive
outdoor feature of the school work
that should serve to develop the fac
ulty of accurate observation, and at
the same time to promote an interest
in forestry which may lead TO a bet
ter appreciation of its aims and meth
DDS. 1t may also prove to be a profit
able addition to botany courses for
older students.
"A study of this kind will be of
great value to practical forestry, since
the proper treatment of forests de-
ponds partly upon a knowledge of
these characteristics of trees. For
example, the time of year at which a
tree leafs out and blossoms is one of
the indications as to whether or not it
is frost-hardy in a given region, and
the length of time that tree is in
leaf influences the growth it is able
TO make during the season. Knowl-
edge of the time when seeds Of each
species Tipen in various localities is
of great value to those who are col
lecting seed, since seed often deterior-
ates or is eaten by squirrels and birds
if not gathered and stored as soon as
ripe.
Another result of this study will
be a more intimate knowledge of eli
mate as manifested by plant growth,
for differences in climate are shown
by plant life as well as by instru
ments. and a preliminary idea can
thus be gained as to whether a given
region is suited to a valuable tree
which it is desired to introduce there.
Many such examples could be given,
but sufficient has been said TO show
that the results of these observations
will be a real help to practical forest
~, in addition to their general in
terest and educational value. Volun-
teers will later be supplied with pub
locations and charts containing the in
formation they help to gather, as a
return for the services rendered
On request, the forest service will
be glad to send forms upon which to
record data and a pamphlet contain
ing full instructions as to the nature
of the observations, and how they are
made.

Man Who Introduced Cook to King Of
Denmark Accepts Findings as Final

Evidence-Danes Seeking consoIa-
ton.

New York, Dec. 22.-Dr. Maurice f.
Egan, American minister to Denmark.
who reached here today. in an inter-
view on the Cook affair, said that his
part in the reception to Cook on his ar
rival at Copenhagen from the arctic
regions came about as a result of the
crown princes request to meet the ex-
pforer and it was at the princes sug-
gestion that he presented Cook to the
king. Speaking of decision of the
University of Copenhagen against
Cook, Egan said the finding of the Dan
ish institution was, of course, final,
unless the matter should again be
opened by presentation of the material
said to have been left by the explorer
at Etah. The Danes" said he ARE
the most competent judges in such
matters. and l am forced to accept
their opinion. I can not, however, bring
myself to believe that Cook set out to
deceive the world. i still think Cook
is an honest man who believes he had
accomplished what he claimed, and
must have been mistaken thru lack OF
scientific knowledge"

Estrada's Victory Apparently Complete
And ZeIayans Are overthrown.
Washington, Dec. 22.-Confirmation
of the Associated Press dispatches
from Nicaragua were received today at
the navy department in cablegram
for Captain Shipley, of the Des Moines.
Additional information is given in the
departments advices that General Cas-
trillo, four pieces of field artillery,
fifteen hundred rifles and 1000, 900
rounds of ammunition We're included in
the surrender.

are inadequate to the demands made by
the results of the engagement Ship
ley said he established a hospital on
shore, employing surgeons, assistants
and hospital supplies from the Des

landed from the American warships
NShipley says. Zelaya's loss in killed
wounded and captured, the captain re-
ports, is about $500.
Victory Was Decisive.
An earlier telegram from Shipley
dated the 21st says revolutionary forces
in Nicaragua had gained a decisive

forces. The telegram states that Es-
trada's army on the Goth began an
organized attack in the government po-
sition. The outposts of the Zelayan
forces under Gonzales were defeated
and routed. The fighting continued
Tuesday General Vasquez, of the
government forces, is said to be pris-
oner at Managua., but the cause of his
arrest is not known at the state de-
partment.
Shipley's telegram adds that the
surrender of the entire government
force was expected yesterday and that
Estrada is confident of complete sue
ces. Shipley says further that the
United States gunboat Eagle is within
the harbor and prepared at any mo-
ment to land bluejackets, but in all
probability such course will be un-
necessary.

Even that address is lacking Only
his, brother still stands stubbornly by
him, refusing to believe that the verdi

the event of an adverse decision he
would take no appeal to the other sci
