Another Fake Nailed,

The manager OF a big ostrich farm

in New Jersey, declared to me the
other day: in all my experience
with these birds have never seen one
in the act OF burying its head in the
sand. That familiar old story is a
fake, pure and simple" In some Of
the school books are pictures of the
ostrich hunt, men racing wildly on
horseback after the plumed bipeds,
and such Of the latter as are in danger
of being run down are depicted with
their heads in the earth. Millions Of

TO PLANT 100000 ACRES.
English Royal Commissions Plan to
Solve Unemployed Problem.

SoiNe unemployed Problem.
LOndon.-The Royal Commission
appointed to consider the question OF
anorestation as a palliative for un.
employment has issued its report. It
recommends a plan for the planting
o. 100000 acres in Great Britain and
Ireland over a period of eighty years.
about $50 GOO acres to be afforested
annually and the work to employ 49,
900 men in the winter months. The
report says that Parliament could be
asked to grant the necessary powers.
and that the scheme should be Fl.
nanced by loan, the interest of which
would be betrayed by taxation. It is
estimated that the forests would be
self-supporting atIer the fortieth
year, and after eight years the in
come from them would reach s7,500,-
600. The commission included among
its members II. Rider Haggard, the au-
thor.
II Is understood that the govern
ment, probably at the next session
OF Parliament, will take steps to OBJ
tain approval for the scheme laid out
by the Royal Commission. This Is
rallied editorially by all the morning
newspapers as an important and busi-
nesslike proposal especially in view
of the great advance in the price of
timber in recent years and the fact
that Great Britain in 1907 imported
timber to the value of s16o,oOO,OO0, of
which twenty varieties could be
grown in Great Britain.
