IlonS maze on the tops ana
slopes of mountains. a reduc-
ton of three fourths for all land
planted or sown, whatever its
situation, is also made.
One of the most striking ex-
amples of the results of planting
waste lands is furnished by the
reforestation of the "Karst" in
Austria. The karst was a
stretch of barren limestone
lands comprising some 100000
acres in the billy country along
the Austrian shores of the Ad-
riatic Sea. For centuries it had
furnished the ship timber and
other wood supplies of Venice,
but excessive cutting, together
with burning and pasturing,
had left it a waste almost be-
You'd recovery. In 1865, the
government began to offer help
to land owners who would un-
dertake forest planting there.
Taxes were RENTED for periods
of years. technical advice was
given, and plant material as well
as money were supplied.
AT present over 100000 acres,
or two-thirdS of the karst are
under forest, partly as a result
of planting, at a cost of eight or
ten dollars an acre, and partly
as result of protection which
made natural recuperation pos
sible. In 1854, Austria also
passed a reforestation law to
control torrents. This law car
ries an annual appropriation of
100000, and extensive planting
work has been successfully car
ried out under it.
Germany as a whole does not
have so much waste land which
it is necessary to plant. The
Germans have been practicing
forestry for so long a time that
the greater part of the available
land is already covered with for
ests. Some work, however, is
done along this line. During
the six years from 1901 to 1906,
about 100000 acres of land suit
able for forestry were acquired
IN Prussia, although a part of
this was already wooded. All
possible assistance is also given
% communes and private own
ers in planting work, and in
-90o, $40, 900 was appropriated
or this purpose. Baden en-

In Denmark no fixed approri-
ton is made for acquiring
taste lands. but in the last
twenty-five years, over $4,000
ores have been purchased, and
ecently the annual cost for
lanting has amounted to over

THE NEW YEAR AND WHAT IT SAW.

The remark that a twelve
month is an arbitrary period
during which things do not nee
essarily begin or end.l is sstale
and overfamiliar. though GER
tain superior" philosophers
continue to make it.
The year is an arbitrary per-
iod and so is the decade or the
centuary, but any period would
be arbitrary" and there is GER
tainly no good reason for chang
ing those humanity has evolved
in the course of its evolution.
The year is a very short period,
yet many momentous events
happen within it and, I while
some years are more exciting,
more memorable, more marvel
Gus than Others. no year is too
mean or poor in achievements
and occurrences to claim con-
siderable space in our annals.
Nineteen hundred nine was a
year of centenaries and as such.
conductive to reflection, to intro
spection, to comparisons with
the past. 1t is good to revert to
first principles. to profit by the
lessons of history, to study,past
struggles and activities for guild
ance in the present. But there
is such thing as too much'pre-
occupation with the past, and
the year scarcely permitted
that. 1t gave us plenty of food
for thought and occasions for
action on its own account. 1t
made heavy demands on our
sympathies, intelligence and en-
ergies.
The year saw the counter-rev-
olutions in Turkey and Persia,
also, fortunately, their failure
and the re-establishment of the
freer constitutional order. 1t
witnessed the black war clouds
in the near East and in Europe
at large in connection with the
Austrian coup in the Balkans.
1t witnessed the fall of a clever,
resourceful German chancellor
and a vigorous, masterful
French premier. 1t saw the
growth of the great budget
fight in Great Britain. - 1t wit
messed an amazing scare of an
entire nation and an imaginary |
Anglo-German crisis. But, |
hanks to the growing modera-
ion of statesmen and the press
ne needs for social and indus
rial reform, peace was pre-
served throughout the .world in
,pite of many dark portents and
dangerous complications.
In the United States, the year
losed is chiefly notable'ifor a
hange of administration, pro-
racted congressional :! session
or the revision of the tariff. the
continuance of a. national Jean
'aign for conservation, equal
pportunity, and the .curbing of
INJURIOUS combinations, the puri-
cation of public life, the elimi-
alton of graft and spoils. 1t is
lsO notable for increased com
lercial activity and the re-em-
loyment of much idle capital

man is due to receive a lot Of pun

key hit him hard and often, Fitz-

No one has arisen to dispute the
