if men would be alone let him
look at the stars. The rays that
come from those heavenly worlds
will separate between him and
what he touches. One might
think the atmosphere was made
transparent with this design to
give man in the heavenly bodies
the perpetual presence of the
sublime. Seen in the streets Of
cities, how great they are! If the
stars should appear one night in
a thousand years how would men
believe and adore and preserve
for many generations the remem-

had been shown! But every

ARE SPARED FOREST FIRES.

people of the country feel gratitude.
both those who would have been d.
rectly as we'll as indirectly concerned.
that so far this season there have been
practically no forest fires IN any part
of the country. In any event. If there
have been such report of them has
not been made In the newspapers of
the country. Without question this
satisfactory condition referred to has
been chiefly due to an unusually heavy
fall Of rain In most of those states
where extensive forest areas are To-
Gated Added to this Is doubtless the
fact that methods OF organiza ton and
equipment of one kind or other for
fighting fires have been perfected.
while the heavy loss from forest fires
in recent years has resulted In caution

ness on tile part Of forest RINGERS.
