Our First Ioeomotivoo.

The first locomotives In the United
States were brought over from Eng
land by Horatio Allen Of New York
In the fall Of 1879 or the spring Of
1880, and one Of them was set up on
the Delaware and Hudson railroad ut
CarbOndale, Pa, but, being found too
heavy for the track, its use was aban-
doned. The first locomotive construct
ed in this country was built by the
West Point foundry at New York In
1890 for the South Carolina railroad
and named the Phoenix. A second en-
CINE was built the same year by the
same establishment and for the same
road and named the West Point In
the spring Of 1881 q third engine was
built by the same establishment for
the Mohawk & Hudson railroad from
Albany to Schenectady and called the
De Witt Clinton. This was the first
locomotive run In the state Of New
York. The first Stephenson locomotive
ever imported into this country was
the Robert Fulton. This engine was
brought out In the summer Of 1881 for
the Mohawk & Hudson railroad. 1t
was subsequently rebuilt and named
the John Bull.

Having fought his duel and saved
his honor by firing u shot In the Dir.
the editor Of a French provincial
newspaper went back to his desk. and
the incident had quite left his mind
when he felt something strange in his
thigh. He looked and found that he
was bleeding profusely. A doctor was
called. who discovered that a bullet
was imbedded in the editors thigh
some two inches deep and required
extraction. why was this not taken
notice Of on the spot where the duel
took placer he asked. The editor
was as much In the dark as the doc
tor. At the moment Of the duel he
had fred into the air. and his adver-
sary also took q distracted sort Of

reconciliation. How q bullet came to

INSURING NATURAL RE-
SOURCES.

With all the progress that has been
made in the conserving of natural re-
sources, the Nation has not yet taken
the first great step in this direction, SO
far as the saving of the forests is con-
cerned. That first great step would
be sufficient investment in the Forest
Service practically to insure the great
timber lands against fire. No matter
what that service would cost, within
the bounds Of probability, the rate of
insurance, computed along the conven.
tional lines of fire insurance estimates,
would be exceedingly low.
In the recent great fires in the
Northwest, covering a period Of about
two weeks, the loss in matured timber
alone was approximately 200 million
dollars, and more than one hundred
lives were lost. This destroyed timber
would have been equal to the average
cut of timber in the whole country for
two years,or 80 billion board feet. We
deplore the enormous and increasing
consumption oftimber in this country
in view of the inadequate provision
for replacing it to any great extent by
reforestation or original planting, yet
here in one series of fires enough tim.
Der to have supplied the cutters for
two years has been destroyed. The
fires could have been prevented and
should have been prevented.
The fault is not with the Forest
Service, but with Congress for not
making that service adequate to pat
rol all the great forest reserves and,
in cooperation with private patrols, to
cover the great forest areas throughout
the country. The stopping of fire de-
struction is one of the most imperative
duties ofthe government. Asa policy
it is merely that the wise business man
who can have fire protection at low
rate of insurance, with the distinction
that the insurance cost to the govern.
ment would be very much lower than
it is to the private individual for pro-
perty of relative value.-Kansas City

Taking the country as a whole, the
election just past brought an end to
more personal attacks than has been
usual in recent years. In New York
Mr.. Roosevelt has been target for a
remarkable fire of criticism, and he
has not taken it in silence by any
means. In Nebraska personalities
entered more largely than could have
been wished, mainly because of the
extreme personal vulnerability of the
two leading democratic candidates.
The mere publishing of Dahlman's
speeches and of Mr.. Hitchcock's let
ters constituted "mud-throwihg."
More genuine mud was used against
the republican candidate for governor
than against any other candidate,
however. So general has been the
disposition to pick personal flaws in
the candidates that many man will
feel like falling back upon the Epicu'
