What can be done toward protecting
large areas Of forest lands has been well
established by the work Of the Forest
Service on the national forests.
The national forests cover, ii round
numbers, about 1s5,000,000 acres of
public land The fire loss each year
on this great area has BY careful patrol.
ling and systematic fre-fghting been so
reduced as to Be Almost mere nothing.
IN 1907 the area burned over was but
109,410 acres, or less than three fourths
Of per cent Of the whole area.
II Is estimated that the national for
ests cover only about one fourth Of the
entire forested area of the United
States, 50 that on this basis the total
area that would have been burned over
in the whole Of the United States in
that year should have been but a little
over $4,000 acres.
The estimates show that the total &C.
tually WAS between 100000 and 5000
600 acres
As for the cost, taking the expense Of
the work on the national forests for
basis, It would have cost but $4,000, 900
to patrol and protect the whole Of the
forests Of the country, which would be
a very cheap form Of fire Insurance for
the epop,e who, without it, lost some
where between S25 100000 and s5o,000,-
600 worth Of timber during the year
1907.
Nor need this work be done wholly by
the federal authorities, because BY a
system Of cooperation between the fed
eral and state governments some plan
certainly can be worked ont which
would place the matter upon basis Of
&c. operation.
The prime requisite Is uniform sys-
tenn Of laws covering the whole question
When a state adopts such a law for the
handling Of ifs forested lands as IS salts
factory to the federal government and
appropriates funds for its proper al
ministration, the federal government
could appropriate proportionate
amount and furnish its trained officers
to advise with the state officers, inspect
the working Of the law, criticise its
weak points and generally oversee the
entire work in an advisory capacity.

If naval battles Of the future are to

dict, then Uncle SANS latest addition
to bis fleet, the Michigan, Is the type
of sea lighters most needed. Not only
did she prove during her recent trial
to be the best all around vessel in the
navy, but also the fastest battleship
we have, making an average speed OF
between 10 and 20 knots.
The new sea fighter. which Is Of 49,
600 tons displacement. il Of what Il
known among naval men as the semi
Dreaduought class. Her armor and
armament being fully up to the stand
ard for her displacement, naval Off
GERS are extremely gratifed over her
fine speed showing 1t means, they
say, the extreme OF efficiency for her
size.
Even in the American navy there are
faster ships than the Michigan. but
not Of he battleship class. The cruis-
ers Minneapolis and Columbia can, as
a naval officer expressed it. beat the
Michigan with one leg." They have
a speed Of % knots And the scouts

During the trial trip of the Michigan
naval officers on board expressed them
selves as highly pleased not only with
her speed. but also with the workings
Of her machinery and the ease with
which she could be Unanswered. She

/ Yes, say the Wrights, the most daring
