THE PROTECTING FOREST.
Important Part Trees Play In Prevent
ing Serious Floods.

1t has been shown that forests pre-
vent the rapid melting of ice and snow
and thus avert or modify floods in the
spring. Mountains also play an impor
tant part with regard to floods. By in
%tercepting drifting currents of moisture
laden air mountains are active agents
in precipitating rainfall, and unless
they are protected by forests the wa
tiers pour down into the valley in de
structive torrents. The evergreen
trees, particularly the spruces, are es-
pecially useful in controlling these tor
rents. Under all spruce forests there is
a large deposit of what woodsmen call
duff" This is composed of partially
decayed trees, bark, needles. cones and
m0Sshs.
This duff varies from one to six feet
in thickness and has the power of alb
sorbing and holding water like q
sponge. During the heavy spring rains
it becomes thoroughly saturated with
water, which gradually oozes down the
mountain sides into the streams in
summer. The trees also protect the
snowfall from the rapid action of the
sun in spring, thus restraining floods
from that our also.
The protection of the forests there
fore is the surest and safest way in
which to prevent destructive inunda-
tons. They are really natural storage
reservoirs, not holding back great
masses of water in bulk, which may be
released by the breaking of some dam
and carry terrible destruction before
them, but storing it in the capillaries
of the spongy soil and yielding it gen.
fly and continuously during the season
when most needed.-London Standard

Stricken with Blindness

Lawyer w. E. Zeller is in a precari-
u condition of health. 1t will be four
weeks tomorrow that he was forced to
take to his bed because of a ervou
breakdown. Following this he was
afflicted with rheumatism and then loss
of eyesight dashed all his hopes o fquick
recovery to the ground. He is SO neal
blind that he cannot distinguish figures
and must write his signature by guess,
besides that he is very weak. Itis sup
posed that the rheumatism has affected
the muscles of the eyes. Mr.. Zeller
was an active man and constantly kept
up a business speed that was too much
for him. 1t is hoped that rest will cure
him.-Vineland Journal, March 8

PRIVATE WARS.
Any Pretext Would Serve to Start u
Conflict In Feudal Times.

"Of the many privileges conferred on
the mobiles of Europe by the feudaf
system no. was more jealousy guard
ed or more frequently exercised than
the right of waging private war;"
writes DIR. Macmillan in the Scottish
Review. "This lawless custom was
the cause of untold misery, ~barbarity,
ruin and restitution. Upon the slight
est pretext-often indeed with no ex-
cuse- at all-the feudal baron would
sally forth from his stronghold in or
der to carry fire and sword into the
territories of some neighboring chief.
""This abuse says Cox in his His
tory of the House of Austria" was
carried to so great an extent that not
only sovereigns and states engaged in
hostilities from interest or revenge,
but the lesser b%arons, and even assoc1-
atoms of tradesmen and domestics,
sent ~defiances to each other on the
Most ridiculous pretenses and In q
manner scarcely credible at the pres
ent day.
1--WE find a declaration Of wal from
a private individual, Henry Mayen-
berg, against the emperor; another
from the Lord Prauenstein against
Frankfort, because a young lady OF
the city refused to dance with his I'M
Gle; another in 1850 from the baker
and domestics of the margraye of Ba-
den against Eslingen, Reutlingen, and
other imperial cities; another in 1461

Louis against the cities of Augsburg

Cutting Down Expenses.

1t is expensive enough to put ON a
play and get the true artistic effects
without wasting money on unneces-
sary detail. AS an example of this. a
manager tells the following incident:
A playwright was reading a comedy
to the manager when he came to these
lines:
"Have a cigar"
Thanks; l don't mind if l do"
wait" said the manager. IF I'm
going to produce that play that second
line will have to read, No. thanks;
don't smoke That change will save a
good deal of money every season, for
an actor must smoke good cigars when
1t is necessary to smoke at all."-Kan-
sas City Star.

Mosquito determination Tor
Cane May County

A hearing was given In q last
wee k by the Appropriations Committee
on the question of an appropriation of
SIS. 900 by the State for the eontinu-
ance ofthe mosquito control campaign,
which has been conducted for the last
few years.
The members of the Mosquito Com
mittee of the Chamber of Commerce of
Cape May County Seashore Resorts
had been advised of the hearing and
the result was that a very strong dele
CATION representing every resort In the
County visited Trenton on the day set
for the hearing.
The meeting was called for 2 30 in
the Comptroller's office and lasted
nearly an hour. There were present
from Cape May County Judge j. M. E.
Hildreth and Luther G. Ogden, from
the Cape May Board of Trade, who
have been actively identified with the
mosquito control movement, and
Messrs. Huppert and other representa-
tives from Wild wood, together with
| Messrs. r. P. Risley, Edward B. Ar
| nett and Otis M. Townsend, represen-
ting the Bay Shore. Stone Harbor, Sea
Isle City aud Ocean City respectively
A representative attendance was OH
hand from other resorts along the coast
including Judge Higbee and DR.. OAR
nell, of Atlantic City, aud Mr.. Engle,
of the Hotel Engleside, Beach Haven.
There was a delegation present, also,
from the upper part of the State, where
a successful anti. mosquito campaign
has been waged. Judge Hildreth lined
up the Cape May delegation in front OF
the Committee and having pointed out
the interest in the County, which their
presence indicated, urged In a brief, but
forceful, address that the Committee
include in its appropriation the sum oil
$25, 900 asked for. Judge Hildreth ex-
planned that $4,000 OF this sun was to
be used for general expenses in con-
nection with the work and that 500 ,000
was to be used for ditching and the
actual work of mosquito control. The
presence of the Cape May County Dele
CATION and the earnest request OF its
spokesman made a marked impression
on the Committee.
joseph Camp, of Pierces, also spoke
In advocacy of the appropriation, ex-
planning the results that had been ac-
complished by ditching certain meadow
lands on the bay shore. Several other
addresses were made by visitors from
other sections of the Coast, and when
the Cape May County Committee left,
it was with the feeling that their visit
would be productive of results. 1t is
believed that a considerable proportion
Of money appropriated will be expend-
ed in Ocean and Cape May Counties,
provided these counties make an
appropriation of their own for the work.
