FOREST PROTECTION.
Canada Earliest Saw the Need for It,

Though the American forest pro-
lection service has been pioneer, 1t
has been outstripped by the Canadian
service in point of efficiency. This
is probably in part due to the fact
that Canada has more forests to pro-
tect at the present time. Forest fires
were much diminished in Michigan
last year, and a survey of the whole
continent shows like condition to
have prevailed, perhaps owing to the
favorable climatic circumstances for
the most part, but still, in large part
owing to the superior protection that
is being afforded.
The review of the past is a sad one
even for Canada. For every foot of
Canadian timber used for commercial
purposes, seven feet of equally yalu-
able timber have been destroyed by
fire. The trail of the railroad marked
also the trail of this disaster. Ade-
quate regulations for protection are
being enforced second prolific
cause of disaster are the slashings of
old numbering exploits, and the re-
mains of burt-overs. What to do
with the debris, which sooner or later
will in turn menace the surrounding
forests, is still the big problem. The
people of this continent are beginning
to appreciate the enormous value or
the forests and the task of their pro-
tection.-Detroit News.

odd chances of Names.

There ndS Gu. iouS transformation OF
names among the refugees who locked
10 England after the Revocation of the
Edict of Nantes. In order to shake on
all associations with the country where
they had been so badly treated, many or
the Huguenots translated their names in
to English, sometimes with a slight ali
teration of the sense: Boileau became
Drinkwater; Delamere. Bythesea; JOLT
femme, Pretty man. Loiseau, Bird Lee
fevre, smith; Dubois, \, ood and Sau-
wage, Savage or Wild
Some names became so corrupted as to
be unrecognizable. Chapius became Shop
pee; Beaufoy, Boffin; and Condo, Cundy.
Similar havoc, though on a less extern
sive scale, has been played with English
names in France. Mazarin's successor,
Colbert, descended from an Englishman
named Cuthbert, and the real name OF
the famous artist who decorated Yer
sailles was not LIE Brun but Brown.
And we may counter that with the
Telfers, VINO are the Taillefers of France.

CHANGES NECESSARY
IN THE CHESAPEAKE
BAY FORTIF|CATIONS.

Washington, Jan. l9.--As the result
of a report made at the army war
college, plans for the proposed forti
fications at the mouth of Chesapeake
bay have undergone some important
alterations On account of the in
creased range of modern armament
and the increased draft of vessels the
idea of making an artificial island
at the entrance of the bay has been
abandoned and it now is contemplated
to confine the Notifications to Cape
Henry.
The latest project will provide for
the construction of emplaeements for
eight 12-inc1 morters, four 12-inch
rifles and four 6-inch rifles, the nee
essary mining structures and fire con-
troll and searehlight systems. at an
estimated cost of S1,801, 100. 1t also is
planned to quarter troops for these
guns at Fort Monroe, Va, at an esti-
mated cost for quarters of 100000 and
to transfer armament from less impor-
tant points at cost of $4,000. 1t al
SO has been suggested that on ac-
count of the increasing power of naval
vessels which might attack the forti-
fications it would be advisable to
mount 16-inch guns instead of Pinch
and that mortars of the model being
constructed for the defence of the
Panama canal should be provided.
The total estimated cost of the pro-
ject along the lines now being con-
sidered would be $3.914,700. If the pro-
ject is realized, the river Potomac
river Notifications in the vicinity of
Baltimore probably would be aband-
oned.

Col. Glenn Would Have
An Automobile ''Hike. "
Wants to Transport Troops to
The Pacific Coast and Back.
Els Eslinaiac- Appropriation Of a
Half million Necessary.

Washington, Jan. 19,-Col. e. r.
Glenn, 23rd Infantry, stationed at Fort
Benjamin Harrison, Ind, has COM
pleted elaborate plans to take his regi-
ment on an automobile hike" to the
Pacific coast and back, and while the
war department entertains favorable
view on the general subject this parti-
eular project probably will not go
through as it would require the
acquisition of large number of
trucks. Col. Glenn's plan eontemplates
the employment of not less than 14o
motor trucks. He estimates that the
regiment could proceed 60 miles day
as compared with Is miles a day, the
average for infantry on foot and with
25 miles a day the average for cavalry.
Each car could carry Is men with
baggage and equipment with motor
trucks a regiment could be made ready
TO move within an hour, whereas there
frequently is long delay when regi-
ment is to be moved by rail.
Should the war department approve
Col. Glenn's plan, Congress would have
to appropriate $4,000 for the project.
