Polar Discoveries Only Beginning.

Now that both poles have been dis

that further excursions into the frozen

So much emphasis has been placed upon
the long anticipated feat of finding the
exact point where latitude and longi-

many minds has ceased If polar dis
covery has been Il game to be dropped
after the puzzle was solved. it has
been very costly one, both in life
and treasure.
If the motive has been the enlarge
ment of the worlds scientific horizon
and a broadening Of the basis of gen.

of endeavor after successive failures
until the prize sought for was gained,
and the unremitting pursuit, may be
worth all the sacrifices. The discovery
OF the north and south poles is only
a beginning In fact, that achievement

STATES TURN TO FORESTRY.
1.hirty-four Out of As Doins Active

1hirty-four Ont. of As Doing Active
work-rhirtecn own Forests.
From the few York Times
Among the many hopeful signs that
the American public is awakening to
the necessity of guarding the forests.
where they still remain. and of rcpien1
ishing them where there has been wide
destruction, is the increasing attention
which the States are giving to this
problem.
The national movement to preserve and
restore the forests has been in progress
for some time. In but few States were
any serious steps taken to reforest the
waste places within, their own borders
until the last five years.
AT the present time thirty-four Of the
forty-eight States of the Union. or more
than two-thirds, are showing active prac-
teal interest in Observation-Disclosures, Cali
tornfa, Colorado. Connecticut. Delaware,
Idaho. Illinois. Indiana, Iowa, Kansas.
Kentucky, Louisiana. Maine, Maryland.
Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota,
Montana, New Hampshire. New Jersey,
North Carolina, New York. Ohio, Oregon,
Pennsylvania, Utah, Vermont, Virginia,
Washington, West Virginia, and Wis
consin.
All of the so7called Eastern States are
on the list, doubtless because of the in
creasing appreciation of need for action
in the face OF. the decreasing timber sup
ply.
. Thirteen States own forests. New York
leading with a total acreage. of 1.644. Oss,
with Pennsylvania second. having So, 337
acres. Wisconsin has one forest, COM
prising 10000 acres. and Michigan fifty
three forests. aggregating 2Sl,35O acres
The other State forests range from 50, 900
acres, owned by South Dakota, down to
$50 acres, owned by Maryland.

year in the thirty-four States actively

A Million-dollar Celebration.

Gov. Sulzer of New York has signed
the bill appropriating $4,000 for the
celebration by the Empire State of
the fftieth anniversary of the battle
of Gettysburg. This adds greatly; to
the. importance of the semi-centennial.
The total of the sum granted by the
Federal government, added TO Penn
sylvania's liberal appropriation, New
York's munihcenoe and the amounts
set aside by aher States is .well-nigh
million dollars.
The promoters of this grand celebra-
ton, the equal of which never has been
known in our history, must solve the
problem of caring for and feeding the
vast crowds expected in a town of less
than 5000 inhabitants, with only few
small hotels and limited railroad ia
cilities 1t is large problem, and it
will have 10 be solved on large scale.
