Pays Tribute OF Grief.

While the nation paused in its daily
tasks and honored his achievements and
his memory. George Dewey. late Admiral
Of the United States navy. was laid to rest
in Arlington Cemetery last Saturday.
The funeral rites were such as the living
accord only to one Of the immortals. If
the services lacked the pomp and pageantry
of European monarchies, 1t was because
this is a republican government and be-
cause Dewey himself preferred the simpler
tribute.
And yet. not since the body of the mar
tyred Mckinley was taken through the
streets Of the Capital has there been such
a manifestation Of national grief. The
muffied drums, the music Of marching
bands, the tread of uniformed men. the
tens Of thousands Of uncovered heads along
the way to Arlington, the presence Of the
nations greatest men, the boom of guns
on the battleships, and the very outpour-
ing of a mourning people-made this one
OF the most impressive funerals in all his
tory.
Before the body Of Admiral Dewey was
escorted up Pennsylvania avenue. where
pageants Of joy and sorrow have followed

Some Originate, Others Copy.

The human heart. that mighty engine Of
our existence, runs sometimes for a hun
dred years. sending the life giving fluid by
valvular action to all parts of our system
to have it return and again sent forth /;
the process being continuous as long as
the shell containing it remains in condi-
ton to support its pulsations.
We do not find in all the handiwork of
man piece of machinery capable Of with
standing anything like the constant strain
and wear consistent with the working of the
human heart. The nearest approach to
the mechanical action of the heart, as
given to the world by the ingenuity of
man, we find in the pulsometer; this in
strument is operated without the interview
ton of piston for the circulation of fluids
by valvular action and is mans copy of
the construction and working of the human
heart.
We have learned much from the study
Of animal life and the natural conditions
surrounding our existence. Man has cop
led many Of his achievements from the
works of his Creator. The silk worm taught
us how to spin and the spider how to
weave; the wasp how to make paper from
wood. In the dragon-fiy we find the oriei-
nal Of one Of the successful types Of flying
machines the propeller Of the modern
steam turbine is copied and patterned in
shape corresponding to the tail of the
| shark; in the crab we see the principle of
the graphing hook; the CLAIMS shell has
a hinge; the Holsters claws resemble our
pinchers or tongs; in the long legs OF the
grasshopper we find all the action of the
modern hay-tedder; the many legs of the
centipede resemble the teeth in the farm
er's hayrake the glow or FREELY. with its
intermittent show Of light. is quite like our
present lighthouse. giving out its intermit-
tent flashes Of light to warn the lonesome
mariner; the elephant blows his trumpet.
and like mighty engine the whale spouts
forth tremendous stream Of water; the
crocodile possesses that vice-like grip so
often required in our mechanical pursuits
the treeborer cuts its way like a carpen-
ter's auger the mole. the gopher and the
hare are subway and tunnel builders; the
swallow builds an adobe house, while the
tarantula lines the walls Of its home with
soft. downy substance and places a hinged
door over the entrance and fastens the
door on the inside when at home in pro-
portion to its size. where do we find in all
creation greater producer OF an article of
commerce than the little honeybee Con-
slider the system and precision with which
all the work Of this busy. little insect Is
carried on; Il builds its storehouse, then
fills il. colonies and is ruled by queen.
Who taught the beavers to dam the stream
and hold back its waters for use in its
playful hours
In the animal we find a student Of the
Creator IN man. copyist.

President Urges That U. s. Aban don
Hands-Off Policy.

President Wilson, in a personal address
to the Senate last Monday. laid down the
question Of whether the United States shall
depart from its traditional policy Of isola-
ton and no entangling alliances. and take
part in world league to preserve peace
after the war.
Shattering precedent of more than a
century. the President, regarding the Sen
ate, with its treaty-making power. as his
counselor in foreign affairs. explained why
he believed the time had come for the
world to know Americas position, and dis
cussed the underlying causes on which he
believes permanent peace of the world
can be maintained.
While President Wilson was speaking
directly to the Senators. after the manner
OF Washington. Madison and Adams, his
address was in the hands of all foreign
governments or on its way to them.
No such history-making event. with such
far-reaching possibilities to the United
States probably ever had been seen in the
Senate chamber.
In the background Of the fundamental
proposition Of whether the United States
should alter the foreign policy laid down
by washington and carried out by a Ions
line of Presidents. was the prospect that
out Of some such league of nations might
come way to end the present war.
The Praeidapft. o1J.nnz
elaboration of his peace note sent to the
warning powers December IS last.
Summing up his proposals, the President
said:
Il am proposing that the nations should,
with one accord, adopt the doctrine OF
President Monroe as the doctrine of the
world that no nation should seek to ex-
tend its policy over any other nation or
people. but that every people should be
left free to determine its own policy.
81 am proposing that all nations hence
forth avoid entangline alliances which
would draw them into competition of
power. There is no entangling alliances
in a concert Of power. When all unite to
act with the same sense and the same
purpose. all act in the common interest and
are free to live their own lives under a
common protection.
Il am proposing government by the con-
sent Of the governed; that freedom Of the
seas which in International conference
after conference representatives of the
UnitedStates have urged with the eloquence
OF those who are the convinced disciples of
liberty and that moderation of armament
which makes of armies and navies a
power for order merely. not an instrument
of aggression or selfish violence"

White Pine Menace.

Unless the ravages Of the white pine
blister rust are stopped the country
stands to lose more than 6l,0O00OO-
this being the present value of standing
white pine timber alone Inasmuch as the
blister rust affects all other fine-leaved
conifers as well as white pine. the above
estimate of loss may be greatly exceeded.
This new tree disease was the main topic
Of discussion at the International Forestry
Conference held at Washington on Thurs
day and Friday last. There is no known
cure for the chestnut blight. which has re-
duced, and is further reducing. the avail
able supply of one Of our most abundant
and useful hardwoods Neither has any
remedy been discovered for the blister
rust, which is creating havoc amid our
already sadly diminished supply of build
ing lumber
Only by heroic measures can the spread
of the white pine blister rust be stayed.
The disease has appeared in all the New
England States and in New York. New
Jersey and Pennsylvania it has gotten a
start in Wisconsin and Minnesota and in
Quebec and Ontario. Every infected tree
must be destroyed-burnt But this is not
all. 1t has been discovered that the spores
of the blister rust terminate only on the
leaves Of currant and goosebeny bushes
The infection. therefore. is not carried d.
rectly from diseased pine to a healthy
tree it goes by the currant and GOOSE
berry route. and can so by no other. The
wind blows the spores several miles from
pine to gooseberry bush and from goose
berry bush TO pine. II follows that all
gOoseberry or currant bushes within COM
municable distance of an infected pine
forest must also be destroyed.
We can dispense with gooseberries and
currants more readily than we can dis
pense with pine lumber. II we must choose
between the complete destruction Of our
raw material for eoosebery pie and cur
rant jelly and the loss Of the most valuable
of our soft woods. the former would doubt
less be the lesser evil OF course, the
owners Of bushes would have to be ade-
quately compensated but all State Fores-
tiers should be clothed with the necessary
destructive powers.
