Ameliat Folsom Young, widow of the
famous Mormon prophet and leader,
Brigham Young, died at her home here

Mrs Young was born in Buffalo. n.

Salt Lake City when his daughter was
p years Of age
Her first meeting with the church
leader was when as a child she had
seen him in her fathers home in Illi-
nois. Nearly 20 years later she met
him again and those familiar with the
early history of the church declare it
was a case of love at once. They were
married January "a, 1858, and short
time thereafter the construction of the
palace was begun. Following the
death of her husband in 1877, she sold
the palace and later travelled in Eu-
rope.

Taking Exercise.

The worst error of exercise, the
most dangerous fad of physical cul-
ture, is not to take enough of 1t, and
to sheer at every form that does not
bear the dollar mark. BY one of these
cynical poetic justices of nature the
very men who denounce all physical
culture and recreation as fads are
those who pay the heaviest personal
penalty for this delusion. They use
the vigor that they have gained to
chain themselves in dungeonlike of
fees or airless workrooms twelve or
fourteen hours a day. They feel

live to be 100; but one day, to their
astonishment. a little artery, whose

BABY PLANETS NUMEROUS
Asteroids, All Moving In Orbits Be-

IT is related that when the one hun
dredth asteroid, or minor planet, was
discovered, many years ago, certain as
tronomers organized a celebration of
the event and that while the solemn
ties were in preparation two or three
more asteroids were picked out In the
sky by the diligent observers.
These bodies. so far as recognized
and off cially mapped, now number 659
They all move In orbits between those
of Mars and Jupiter and may be eth

results of an abortive attempt OF ma
ture to form a planet
The development OF astronomical
photography has added large numbers
of these minor planets to our lists. In
the Harvard observatory at Arequipa,
Peru, sixty-four separate asteroids
were photographed between 1898 and
1901, and forty-seven of these were
new discoveries.
AS may be imagined, the number of
these bodies is now so large that 1t Is
a difficult matter to tell whether one
of them is new or Is to be Identified
with a previous discovery. In several
instances mistakes of this kind already
have been made. The swarm of plane
toids Is a numerous one. and II has be-
come kind of astronomical sport to

CONQUERING THE WASTE SAND
European Countries Solving Great
Problem by Planting Vast Areas
With Trees.

Europe is conquering the waste land
problem by planting trees. Every year
thousands of acres of land are being
reclaimed in this way by the leading
countries and put in a condition
preparatory to a profitable timber har-
vest in the years to come.
Not only many previously forested
areas which have been cut over have
been planted up, but a number of the
countries are also devoting their ener-
gies to establishing a forest cover on
dunes and other waste lands, and, in
fact on all land which is more valu-
able for producing timber than for
other purposes.
France has been one Of the foremost
European countries in reforestatiop,
especially in the mountains, where
planting has been a powerful factor in
controlling torrents and regulating
stream flow. The state each year buys
pncultivated lands. in the mountain
regions, and up to January, 1907. It
had acquired $4,000 acres in this way.
Communes, associations and private
individuals are also assisted in re-
forestation work by grants of money
and by supplies of plants and seeds.
Altogether $4,000 acres have been
planted through this public assistance.
Complete exemption from taxation for
a long period of years is granted in
the ease of plantations made on the
tops of slopes of mountains. A reduc
tion of three-fourths for all land plant
ed or sown. whatever it's situation. is
also made.
