This plea touches me because I remem-

experience when q request like this was
made and answered so generously that ever
since have felt a new appreciation Of the

Heliographs supplied with lights for use

The idea of discovering forest fires in
their inception by means of the aeroplane
has been long considered by the govern
ment. But II was quite a while before an
opportunity presented itself to test the
airships in practical manner Last
winter at an aviation meet in the West
this unique means of detecting forest
fires was given a thorough trial. and the
report Of this test has Just been received

officials now claim the flying machine
will furnish the only practical solution
Of the great problem of protecting the
vast forests Of the United States.

approval of Congress" said one of the
men who took part in the trials. But
1t means ultimately that by using the
aeroplanes millions Of dollars will be
saved to the people of the United States

and consequent easy extinction Of the

Of the national forests Of the country" :"
Prof. Piummer has been making some
recent Investigations Of the smoke
phenomena Of forest fires. and he tells
of many curious things in connection
with smoke caused by the great forest
fires Of the past. He said: "A thrifty
forest purifies the air we breathe. but
II il an irony of nature that, when II
goes UP in smoke 1t causes pollution
of the atmosphere. Forest fires are the
most frequent causes of foul atmos-
phere. and the volume Is exceeded only
in the case Of violent volcanic eruptions.
They not only cause an uprush OF heat
ed air. usually with cyclonic effect, but
1t furnishes at the same time the ma
terial which is lifted to the higher
strata. Under such conditions forest
fires may jump several miles; in fact
as far as a live brand can be carried.
The phenomena Is similar to local winds
which, sometimes assuming cyclonic
form. suck UP water. sand. dust. and Eli
kinds Of small objects, which later rain
down. The forms of wind which raise
heavy matter are the centers OF cyclonic
action like whirlwinds. sandspouts, and
waterspouts. They are the causes or
many of the so-called prodigies. like the
shower of oranges which occurred near
Naples in 1893. This was considered

This Is a serious charge, indeed. 1t

three or four meals a day. milking the
cows. feeding the chickens, tending the
children, darning the socks. making
most of the kids clothing, and keep

have nothing to do.
OF late years much has been done
by the farmers themselves to make
life on the farm less burdensome to
women. The social side of farm living
has been emphasized with the disap-
pearing necessity OF pioneer hardships.
The agricultural gentleman in Wash
ington now views all this with alarm.
The old home products of picked pigs
