French Forest-MakIno.

A striking example of scientific for
estry is furnished by the coast of
Fraaee, chiefly IN Gaseony, whers in
1913 tree-plaating was begun in an at
tempt to Ax the sand dunes. which the
winds were steadily pushing inland
ever the Vineyards. Pine forests have
now covered 27S.oo0 OF the 100000
acres OF dunes. About $4,000, 600 has
been spent on the work, with. $700, 900
mere for forest administration, but
the state has received $4,000 more
than the cost, while the $4,000 acres
still retained have a value of $4,000
600. Farther inland, about 2,0O0,0 900
acres of worthless shifting sands and
marshes, in the triangular area Of the
Landes. have been converted into
profitable pine forests since the mid.
die OF last century. This work, most
ly done by the communes, has created
. property worth 800. ooe. 600, as val.
usd from the present yield of pine
timber and resin.

HOW DID THE PARROT KNOW?
Hard to Explain, But Polly Certainly
Had Premonltion Of the Com
ing Earthquake.

Beyond his habit of living tc be
100 to $50 years old. the parrot is q
truly remarkable bird in other ways"
said Mr.. L. N. Daniels of the City Of
Mexico.
What makes me give utterance to
this opinion is n trick that q bird
which belongs to my young son exc
cuted the night OF the late earthquake
that shook us up so severely in Mex
leo. Fully Eve minutes before the
Arst shock, which came & little after
four o'clock in the morning, Poll set
up q terrific uproar that eliminated
IN prolonged scream. ! didn't relish
the discordant racket which broke
into the slumbers Of the family and
felt Ike numbering the miserable orea-
ture, especially as there was no cessa-
ton OF its vocal exercise.
While 1t was still coming in for my
denunciadens the tremor Of the earth
occurred, and in q second It flashed
across my mind that Polly had given
us warning in the only way it knew
how to reach US. It may not seem
reasonable that the bird should be
able to sense a CONFUSION of nature
IN advance OF its coming. but the
facts are as / have stated, and after
the AFFAIR was over l petted the par
rot as much as had scolded it q lit
tie while before. 1t has meal ticket
for life in the Daniels household, and
money wouldn't buy it."

The Problem Of VagabondTsm.

What we shall do with the dere-
licts is a great and increasing prob
lem. 1t has not been settled salts
factorily in any great community.
An official statement recently issued
is to the effect that many thousands
of former good workmen have be-
come so enamored of a life of idle.
ness during the last IS months that
they refuse to return to work now
that occasion offers. We could wish
that the statement were untrue. 1t
is lamentable if it is correct What
every human being needs is some
stimulus, some mental food as we'll
as a care for creature wants. The
actual necessities of life are few. The
comforts are increasingly expensive
1t will require more wisdom than is
now available to establish a system
which shall be wholly satisfactory,
but It does seem as if we might be
making more progress.

The pretty attendant at a nearby
booth assured him that It did.
Then how on earth do you make
any profit" he asked, eff so much of
your stuff gets smashed?"
"Oh," said she candidIy. ITS the
smashing that counts. 1t is the funni-
est thing, but somehow everything
happens to get broken just at the
time when some person who is able
to buy gets through looking at It, and
as the guilty wretch feels that his
carelessness may have caused the &C

FILLING UGLY FLOOR CRACKS
Preparation That Can Be Made at
Home Will Do the Work at
Little Cost.

from any hardware dealer who
sells paints and the like for interior
decorations you will be able to get
moor cleaner and filler. If you cannot
bear this expense and have an ugly
moor to be treated you can have the
rough boards planned and fill the wide
cracks with a paste made with news
papers. Soak the papers in a tub of
water until they are reduced to a
pulp. This takes from one to three
days. Macerate them and mix with
common Hour starch in which some
glue is boiled. If you have a thin mix
ture you can add sawdust. This is
medium smooth paste which can be
put into the cracks with the aid of
small trowel or steel knife. Smooth
the paste as evenly as possible. In a
lew days 1t will dry. Then give the
entire floor coating of yellow ochre
or ground filler. 1t can be purchased
by the quart. 1t is a dull yellow when
dry. When perfectly dry cover the
noor with floor varnish or use paint
thoroughly without the ochre. All d.
recuons can be obtained from the
dealer. When boards are of differ.
ent width fill the cracks and paint a
cold color to hide the defects. Do
not expect rough board floor to look
ike one of waXed hardwood.

IN CONSTANT FLOW
SAMOAN VOLCANO PoURs LAVA
INTO OCEAN.
Only Four Years Old, But Il IL Easily
the Titan Of Them All-New
Coast Line 10 Being
Created.

In the island OF Savaii, in the Sa-
in the year 1905 there arose from the
midst Of peaceful cocoa plantation
a volcano that in four years Of its
still ceaseless activity has sent forth
more molten lava than has any vol
cano OF which there Is record.
Today this flow Of Lava, in some
places 700 feet in depth, Is Alling up
the sea along frontage OF more than
seven miles, has destroyed about so
villages and as many square miles OF
what was once the most productive
area in all Samoa. From Apia, about
80 miles away on the island OF Upolo,
1t is sometimes possible to read at
night by the glare CT the Savaiian vol
cano, whose twin pillars OF vapor by
day become columns Of red.
Above the ever seething lake OF IRE
within the crater hangs a great GRIM
son cloud, while eight miles distant
from the volcanic cone appears a less
or cloud, sometimes divided into many
columns Of apparent ire. II II but
the steam arising from the sea, col
cred by the red glowing lava that
pours Niagara Of fire over the cliffs
that the ceaseless torrent OF molten
rock builds higher and higher every
day. The ocean steamers touching at
Apia pass within close hailing dis
lance Of this dramatic spectacle.
Scientists who have seen the most
recent flow say that every minute
100000 tons of lava flow over the
lower rim Of the crater; and this not
resembling In any way the other Ia
va. but like molten iron spreads over
the old field and beyond until at the
sea there IL Niagara OF IRE full ten
miles in width. As this molten lava
falls into the ocean, says Harper's
Weekly, It turns to q fine black sand
and sinks, and so & new coast line Is
being built up In water 500 to 400
feet deep.
This moving molten lake advances
at the rate OF four miles an hour. AS
1t pours itself into the sea columns
of water are raised In steam to meal
culable heights, and this, descending
In a fine rain of brine, destroys vege-
tation and corrodes the galvanized
iron roofngs OF churches and trading
stations for miles around.
AS the torrents Of boiling lava
break against the basalt cliffs or hum
mocks left by the old flow cliffs are
melted by the heat, hummoeks disin-
tegrated and carried forward by the
flow to be hurled into the sea, where
they explode like Titanic bombs, and
this Is taking place every moment
along an ever widening sea front of
ten miles at least. For more than q
mile out In the ocean the water boils.
and from the crater still flows a
steady stream Of lava greater, ii IL
said, than man has ever seen in the
past issue from any volcano of which
there is record.
Never once since that night four
years ago, when this volcano was
born in peaceful valley, has 1t re-
NAMED for a moment ouiesoent.
