RAvEN0US EATERS.
cIuttony of soliman and the Appetite
of Louis XIV.

GIuttony of Soliman and the Appetite
of Louis XIV.
Touching the matter of eating. the
stories told by the old chroniclers and
historians of the abnormal appetites OF
certain Roman and oriental men of
note fairly stagger belief.
Gibbon tells of Soliman. a caliph in
the eighth century. who died of acute
indigestion in his am near Chalcis,
in Syria. just as he was about to lead
an army of Arabs against Constantine
pie. He had emptied two baskets OF
eggs and figs. which he swallowed
alternately. and the repast was finish
ed with marrow and sugar. In a pill
grimage to Mecca the same caliph had
eaten with impunity at a single meal
seventy pomegranates, n kid. six fowls
and a huge quantity of the grapes of
Tayef.
Such a statement would defy belief
were not others of a similar character
well avouched. Louis XIV. could hard
ly boast of an appetite as as
Soliman's, but he would eat at a sit
ting four p~latefuls of different soups. a
whole pheasant. a partridge. a plate
full of salad. mutton hashed with gar
lie, two good sized slices of ham. a
dish Of pastry and finish this ample
repast with fruit and sweetmeats.-

NO Chance In History.

Mazzini said that he did not believe
that chance existed in history. "a
aus must necessarily underlie every
event, although for the ONE 1t may
appear as the result of apparently ac-
cidental circumstances. An Alexander.
a Caesar, a Napoleon, are not the re-
suits of accident. but the inevitable
product of the time and nation from
which they spring. 1t was not Caesar
who destroyed the Roman republic.
The republic was dead before Caesar
came. Sulla. Marius. Catiline. preced-
ed and foreshadowed Caesar. but he.
gifted with keener insight and greater
genius. snatched the power from them
and concentrated it In his own hands.
For there was no doubt that he was
filter to rule than all the others put
together. At the same time, supposing
he had appeared $50 years earlier. he
would not have succeeded in destroy
ing the republic. When he came the
life had already gone out of it, and
even Caesars death could not restore

Forest Fires In New Jersey

In the midst of storm and with the
ground saturated the danger of forest
fires seems remote, yet the State For
est Commission is preparing for what
may come within a few weeks, and
this year hopes to be able TO report
fewer forest fires in New Jersey than
ever before.
The Forest Fire Service is now organ-
lied in SO townships, boroughs and
cities, and the wardens are prepared to
promptly look after every fire that
may be started. More than this, ap-
proximately $50 miles of fire lines 10
feet wide have been built by the rail-
roads across woodland property. These
should materially reduce the number
of fires caused by coal-burning loco
motives. Anyone who o travels to
the seashore will notice these cleared
lines at the most exposed places along
the railroad. and few will deny their
value.
To these definite plans and provisions
the Forest Commission adds an appeal
to the people of the State each to do
everything possible to prevent the start
ing of a forest fire. The woodlands of
New Jersey, now largely wasted
through fires and other abuse, aggre-
gate upwards of 1000, 900 acres. This
great area should be a source of steady
revenu to its owners, and to the State,
instead of yielding as it actually does
only a fraction of what it is capable of
producing. Forest fires nowadays,
even in dry seasons like the
last two, cause much less loss than
they did a decade or more ago, yet
there must be nc let-up in the effort to
We need Moodzand neb t
to have the forests that produce it. We
a have both by stopping the fires
and thereby encouraging the property
owners to practice forestry.

Presently the poised spears are

"For a short time the savages are

find there is death in those flaming
