Big TREES Topped
Of GLORY OF AGE
Scientist Says Admiring Poets
Crown Sequoias With I'm
deserved Centuries

BERKELEY, June 27.-The Califor-
MIA big trees only antedate the Chris
tian era about 500 or 500 years accord
ing to the statements of Prof. Willis
l.. Jepson, of the botany department
of the university, whose book on Trees
of California" has just appeared on the
campus Professor Jepson declares
that the admirfng contemplation of the
forest giants by poets and writer's has
unduly heightened the age of the big
trees. He continues:
When one considers that the oldest
logged trees were seedlings 500 years
before the Christian era, it would seem
that such heightened period of life
were sufficient to afford food for the
reflective mind. But those popular
writer's, and likewise the poets, whose
figures are based solely upon an ad-
miring contemplation of the bulk and
stateliness of these forest giants, are
not satisfied with attributing to them
ages less than from 5000 TO 5000
years"
ONCE GREW IN ASIA
The university botanist declared that
the sequoias were the only survivors
of large family of trees, fossils alone
of which remain Untold centuries ago,
he declared, their species were growing
on the mountain sides of Alaska and
Asia, and only the California species
of the family is alive today.
The despised digger Indian of the
northern part OF the state is given
credit by Professor Jepson for the
development of some of the finest
groves OF the state. He declared that
these people, few of whom are now
alive of many thousands, had forestry
system Of their own which accounts for
the remarkable growth of some kinds
of trees in the state.
In defining what he considers true
policy of conservation of forests, Pro-
fessor Jepson declared that there was a
great confusion between the preserva-
ton of trees and the preservation, OF
forests.
IRRATIONAL FORESTRY
The former, he said, was true only
in small parks where the loss of a
effect, but in large forest areas, he
believe that single trees. or groups
of trees. mature or overmature, should
not be cut. He said:
The logging of trees is carried on
under such methods and with such safe
guards that a new stand of trees is
assured and that already established
protected. Thus the forest yield will
be eventually increased in a state of
nature. This is the preservation of
the forest by wise use-this is ra-
tional forestry
He concluded by remarking that the
forests We're also suitable and should
be used as grazing lands, subject how
ever. TO certain restrictions.

a priest has been assigned to say mass
in the church every second Sunday III
each month. AS 1t is on the top of
one of the highest hills in the Della

hood Of any but members of the MUIR

this was found extremely difficult, the
family decided to bear the expense of
the erection of church If the bishop
of the diocese would permit priest
to say mass in the church once a
month, the Murphys being willing to
walk the fifteen miles to church on the
other Sundays.
The church has been completed and

CANCELLED STAMPS
Are Used by the White Fathers fo'
tho Ransom Of Slaves in Africa.

The work of cancelled postage
stamps. though apparently an humble
one, is in fact a source of great deal
of good in the African missions. for the
ransom of slaves. The White Faith
ers, established in Quebec for recruit
Of the Dark Continent, are making ant
urgent appeal to their readers in their
monthly magazine, The African Mis-
sons. begging them to collect the
postage stamps and send them to their
address in Quebec, in as large guam
titles as possible. The proceeds they
derive from these stamps go to their
missions in Africa. and are devoted
towards the freeing of slaves.
An illustration OF the good they ac-
complish by such an humble means
is the fact that during the past year
thirty one slaves, boys and girls. were
ransomed with resources exclusively
derived from the cancelled postage
stamps. This represents II or 10 mill
ion stamps collected during the year.
Who will refuse to contribute to such
a good work. when the means is with
in the reach of everybody" Our read
crs will be glad to help the White
Fathers in their ransom work, by
saving their own cancelled stamps and
collecting some from others. and send

Reverence.

Restraint from wrong doing is not
the most efficient way of cultivating
the spirit of right doing. But it is not
easy to teach, any one to be reverent
who does not spontaneously and nat
urally revere, Neither is it so diff
cult to restrain the fo,itward show Of
reverence in the presence of things %
be revered. And this spirit of rever-
ence is one to be cultivated by every
means of greater or less efficacy.
"In reverence" says Ruskin. "is the
chief JOY and power of life-rever-
]'ence for what is pure and bright in
your own youth; for what is true and
tried in the age of others; for all that
! is gracious among the living, great
among the dead. and marvellous in the
powers that cannot die" There are
things to be revered that seem to es.
)cape those who count themselves mos
reverential. The school of reverence
is one from which Sno pupil should
ever go out.

INDIAN CENSUS
Shows a Decrease Of Approximately
Two and Ono half Percent.

A difficult task was apprehended in
suits revealed it to be far less so than
was at first foreseen, despite the plac-
ing of all extra task upon the special
agents-that of obtaining tribal data.
These will be probably the last to be
taken, since a decade hence there will
probably remain no Indians who are
not citizens instead Of dependent wards
of the National government. AS had
been calculated from observation, the
returns show decrease in number in
the decade ended in 1900. That de-
crease is from 2736O7 to 266,76O, or 2.5
per cent. But in 1880 the care of the
Indians cost the government $780,
1903; in 1909 that cost had increased
more than three times, to $15.724, 16o.
4 More important is the evidence pre-
scented as to advancement in industry
and education. The total attendance of
Indian children in schools, both under
1 government aud missionary manage
ment, is 25,777. 1t is an interesting
feature of these schools that special
effort is made to teach the Indian child
some specific industry by which he
4 may hope to win self-support. Thus,
4 In Michigan the cultivation of the su-
4 gar beet is taught, and in California
IN q chief subject of instruction is fruit
\ growing, picking, and packing. 1t is
4 well to be assured also that there is
inculcated the theory of self-respect
OF labor and of the disgrace of idleness
YEA noteworthy example of such labor
lis that performed by Apaches upon
n reclamation projects, at which they
learned $4,000 in 1909 for service in a
climate where it would have been diff
sscult, IL not impossible, for white men
to endure the requisite physical strain
