FOREST FIRES.
There Are Three Kinds, of Which the
 "crownr Fire Is the Worst.

There are three kinds of forest fires the surface fire" waich E:egciy ru..s in the leaves and ground litter; tha ground fire" that covers the under brush of the dense forests, and the crown fire," the most dangerous and terrifying of all. A crown fire is usu ally caused when the ground or surface fire reaches the top of ridge or knoll, and the increased draft carries the blaze up the trunks of the trees to the tops of the crowns" It is the crown fires which have made the great forest fires of history.
 Surrounding the burning area by a the mineral soil has been removed is the only kind of fire line which will stop a ground fire, and it will often stop n surface fire. For surface fire whip ping" or using brush branches or water soaked sackins to whip the burning leaves at the edge of the fire back into the burned area is most effective. Sand as well as water is valuable in lighting this kind of fire too.
 There is only uue way to fight a crown ire-;hat is. by "1acktring"- fighting fire wi;lI fire. This method is extremely dangerous. consisting of set ting a counter fire far enough from the main body uf the original fire 50 that all inflammable material will be burn ed by the time the fire reaches that point, and ;he tire will die from lack of material to feed on. The backfire is set far enough from the main fire to escape the draft which is flaming the blaze.-New York Tinles.

ENGAGED IN
 TOUCHING MATtH

DUBLIN, April 27.-All Ireland appears to be engaged in one vast ploughing match. Ploughs are being drawn by every available type of ami nal while men and women who never
 put their hands 10 a plough before have learned to do the work II tEe submarine emergency. The Irish de- partment of agriculture has thrown all it's executive machinery into tile effort to increase the tillage eno'-
 mously and has obtained d decree ul- der the defense of the realm act lnak- ing certain minimum percen, age of extra tillage compulsory on every far
 mer in Ireland holding more than 10
 acres of land
 This novel law requires that eye Y
 farmer must till at least 10 Ter Cent of the arabic part of his holdings iii addition to whatever amount he t'll-
 ed last year unless he is already cul- tivating 30 per cent of his land in which case he is not obliged to 1o more. There are 350,000 holdings to
 which this regulation applies. with an arable area of 14,50O,0OO acres
 The departments county commit tees, which have for years been or- sanized in every country of lreianG. have stopped all other work and put their experts and administrative s' ifs on the sole work of food production. They have organized special commit tees in every parish and are mobiliz- ing all the available supplies of seed, manure and implements. Machinery for saving labor is to be made to go
 as far as possible by d system of local exchance.
 Few people realize what tremen- dous asset Ireland has been to Eng land during the war as a reservoir o' foodstnfs.
 Ireland has been next to the United States in feeding England. out the ralance is somewhat disturbed at the
 present time, but with lre'aEd in- creasing her output and the i'm .n: $
 of food from that island in 19io. the latest figures available show total
 of 46,OO0,OO0 pounds.

THEY WERE ALL INSANE.
Even the Expert Witness Himself Must
 Have Been Pretty Mad.


 Dr. Allen McI.ane Hamilton. in his "Recollections of an Alienist." relates the following incident which occurred in an Italian murder trial in which he appeared for the state:
 The defense was based on the shape of the murderer's head. and much tes- timony had been given by an anthrO- biologist and craniologist in regard to the shortness of the head of the man on trial.
 So improbable was the testimony oi the head expert" that Dr. Hamilton during the noon recess. went to hat ter and secured several conformateur tracings which he gave to the district attorney.
 "Dovtor. extreme length of the head is also stigma of insanity, is it not:' asked the district attorney.
 The quack asSpnted.
 The district attorney showed him the tracinys and asked his opinion of them. The fellow examined them and declared that the persons from whom they were taken were undoubtedly in sane.
 Well" said his merciless cross ex- examiner. would it surprise you to kl.uw that the first series were taken rr, Ill the heads of William H. Wander Lilt and his sons and that the last is from tn" head of his honor the judge wlo preSidcS in this caSe?'
 It goes without saying that the wit. ness "experl' testimony was prompt ly ruled out.
