Marine Astronomers,

Capt H. J. IIollinshed of the Are

York. about the comet.
I'VE had good view of the comet
just off Tarifa in the Mediterranean,
he said. The sailors didn't like 1t.
They sent a committee to me to get
my opinion on It.
Captain said the spokesman, we
want to ask your opinion
Yes, my lad, said |. What about 2
About that thing up there he
said pointing at the comet afame In
the western sky.
Very WELL said !, But first tell
me what you think 1t is yourself
"Well. sir, said the spokesman,
we've talked 1t over very careful. and
we've about come to the conclusion
that it's star sprung a leak.

Cut Pacific Coast Forests

100000 1t is estimated that fully two
thirds, or $66,000,O00 represents the
amount of money paid to labor.
According to the latest statistics,
Washington leads in the production of
lumber, and during 1909 shipped AS
600 cars of shingles and $4,000 cars of
lumber. The lumber and shingles to-
tailed 1,S00,000,000 feet. Over 1900.
000,0 feet Of lumber was sent to for
eign parts and to coast towns, and
this, added to the home consumption,
or 1,60O, 1000, makes the annual pro
duction of lumber by the sawmills of
the state total over 5000, 000, 900 feet
One-half the area of the state Of 35.-
GOO square miles is timbered The
timber of the state would make a
plank road three inches thick and 500
feet wide around the earth. 1t would
load 100000 cars of 100000 feet
each As feet long, equal to 1927
miles of trains. These cars would
reach nearly three and one half times
around the world.
A six or eight-room house for five
people each requires about 10000 feet
of lumber The timber of this state
would build 100000 such houses,
which would be sufficient to house
one-third of the population of the
United States.
The density OF the forests of Wash
ington is unequaled in any other sec
ton of the world. In Clallam and
Chehalis counties, according to Off
cial estimates, the entire timbered
area runs 20,00O,000 to the square
mile. The stand on smaller areas is
phenomenal. In Clallam county one
acre was recently found to have 800.
600 feet of standing timber.
A Pacific county mill cut 100000
feet of logs from a little less than
two acres. The logs average from
10000 to $4,000 feet each, and would
present serious problem to the mill
equipment of the timbered section of
the upper Mississippi region.

st. Petersburg the question OF
emigration and immigration consid-
cradle change has come over the
world during the last forty years, new
countries being more careful about the
sort of immigrants they receive and
old countries being more concerned
about the sort Of emigrants they part
with. Forty years ago the British
government looked on emigration
much as the doctors of those days
looked on blood-letting. Now it looks
on emigration, even from Ireland, as
the doctors of these days look on
blood-letting. Russia Is now beginning
to do the same, judging from series
of articles entitled The Future Of
Russian Emigration to America
which has been appearing in the
Novoe Vremya of st. Petersburg, from
the pen Of Julius Nelidoff. Mr.. Nell.
doff, who has personally investigated
this problem for many years in Amer

its stream of immigration directed
toward Siberia instead Of toward
New York, and that if a section of
the Russian immigrants insist on 60

new LIGHT ON THE CIVIL War
Conso alton of Not Having Much to
Do Offset the Tennesseean's
Many Wounds.

Lem Jackson loved to loaf He lived
in the mountains not far from Green
Vile, Tenn, with his wife and large
brood of children. Lem had "houn'
dawg" that he set great store by, and
he spent most of his time lounging in
a runway waiting to shoot a deer
driven In by old Bose or spraying on
the bank of a stream fishing. In that
way he was a good provider after a
fashion, but not all the urging, scold-
ing, nagging and demonstrating Of his
shrewish wife could drive him into
work
Lem led the lazy life Of Rip Van
Wrinkle until the outbreak Of the Civil
war, and then he surprised everybody
by joining the confederate army, for
most of the mountaineers fought for
the Union. At the end of six months
Lem was shot through the right
thigh, and 1t was long before he was
able to limp out of the hospital and
back to his regiment. In the second
year he was shot in the left shoulder,
and when he returned to duty his left
hand was bent far back by short
ened tendon; but he was still able to
raise his rife. Early in the fourth
year they got him again-a musket
ball through the body-but he was
back in the ranks long before the
fighting was ended. Everyone won.

Doctor Girdner met Lem hobbling
down the street in Greenville one
morning in June, 1865, still pale and
weak from his latest wound, his right
leg short and wobbly, his left hand
stiffly bent back.

the doctor. Il suppose you're glad to

But aren't you glad TO be away

honest Lem. War haint so bad.
