FOREST FIRE LOSS
IN VERMONT SMALL
Total Damage This Year Will Not Ex-
coed Average of $4,000
Year.

In spite of the fact that as many
forest fires have started in the state
this year as in the five preceding years
combined, the loss will not be much
over the average reported yearly loss
Of about $4,000, state Forester w. g
Hastings said to-day. The dry summer
made forest fires almost inevitable, but
the efforts of the state forestry de-
partment employees, working with the
town fire wardens, have kept them
| from doing much more damage than
years fires generally cause. Contin-
ued education of the public against for
est fires and constant circularizing of
the town wardens have been two fac
tors in the small loss.
A cent an acre a year would give
Vermont timber adequate protection
against fire, Mr.. Hastings said. This
sum, which comes to $4,000, would en-
able the state to make a necessary ex-
pansion of the lookout force At the
present time there are only - en-
ployed to watch for fires from look
outs. This number should be tripled
to give adequate protection, in Mr.
Hastings opinion. II this number of
lookouts could be hired, he thought,
there would be no evidence within
generation of the ravages OF forest
fires in Vermont timber.
The lookouts watch for fires and no
tify the fire warden of any town in
which they see a fire. The state also
employs fire pstrolmen who patrol the
most frequented trails on the noun
tains to see that care is taken by
campers Mr.. Hastings has received
from Captain Herbert w Congdon, a
New York member of the Green Noun
tain club, commentator of the work
Of these patrolmen.
Supervision of all forest fire proven
ton il in the office of the state for
ester. Besides the employees mentioned
above there is a state fire warden and
number of district wardens.
At the present time, the state sp-
propriates $4,000 year for forest fire
prevention. The Vermont Timberland
Owners association assesses It's mem
beers a cent an acre a year on their
property, adding $4,000 to the funds
used in the state They employ 10 TO
Is patrolmen separate from the state
The federal government gives about
SO 900 a year for forest fire proven
ton in Vermont. The inadequacy of
the funds used in forest fire prevention
in Vermont is shown, Mr. Hastings
holds, in the fact that Pennsylvania,
with 10 million acres Of timberland. ex-
ponds a million dollars year on pro-
tecting it, while Vermont, with four
million. spends only $4,000 as state
on its forests.

In Partial Explanation.

Commenting on our recent para
graph in which we quoted funny
epitaph and inquired if it was not a
sign OF increasing reverence that we
don't write snch things nowadays, IAN
English lady, resident in Boston, re-
marks that sometimes, perhaps often,
those morturay jokes were written by
other than relatives. To prove this
she quots an epitaph she saw in Camb-
bridge, England. 1t run:
Hehere in the dust the Wondering cast
OF Eleanor Shalner is shoven;
Well versed in the art of pie, pastry
and tart
And the lucrative skill of the oven.
When she'd lived long enough, she

A puff by her husband much praised;
Now here she doth lie and makes dirt
pie
In hopes that her dust may be raised

SPooNING AN ATAvISM.
Men and Monkeys Alike Perhaps In
herit Habit from Common Ancestor

So hand holding is an atavism. ac.
cording to DR.. Raymond L. Ditmars OF
the Bronx zoo. who has been playing
seems more than likely, considering
how naturally spooning comes TO hui
man beings.
The common dream of falling, ter
ror stricken, through space is said to
be an inheritance from the days when
our ancestors lived in trees. The
dreamer never crashes, which is right
enough since if the ancestor had struck
bottom there would have been no one
to inherit the subconscious memory Of
the experience. The ancestor managed
to hook on to a limb on the way and
so lived to transmit the impression of
his terror.
So the instinct to spoon comes right
fully. The hairy Adams who held
hands with their Ewes in the flowery
branches of the Eocene forests and
gibbered sweet nothings were ances-
tors. The misogynists were not. That
is why, according to this theory, the
spooners are so numerous and the
misogynists so few. 1t sounds rea-
sonable.
But there should be no misogynists.
The only explanation to account for
them is that they are accidentally i'm
perfect humans. The world likes to
spoon, and particularly in the spring
time, when the breath of flowers
evokes the racial memory of the warm
fragrance of the tropic forests where
the human RAGE was evolved and
stamped with its ineradicable in
stincts.-San Francisco Chronicle.

A TRUE BEAR STORY.
And 1t Is Of the stranger Than Fic.
ton" Sort.

The other day there came for re-.
pairs to one of the yards Of the Todd
Shipbuilding corporation in this har-
Dor, an ocean steamship which had
7 been damaged in collision with an
\ iceberg A hundred tons Of ice
crashed down upon the deck and
\ stove in the bow Of the vessel. but
] fortunately not below the water line.
The collision occurred in thick fog.
in consequence Of which the speed Of
the ship had been greatly reduced, but
the iceberg could not be perceived by
the officers on the bridge until a mo
ment before they struck it, Luckily for
him. the lookout in the bow had inst
been called back 10 the bridge; other
wise he certainly would have been
killed by the falling masses of ice.
This. however, is not the whole
the confusion which followed one Of
the ships firemen wha had come up
deck 10 cool of. was observed excitedly
making his way on a full rum toward
the stern Of the vessel. and those on
the bridge perceived to their utter
amazement that he was being pursued
by polar bear!
At all events. the stoker believed
that the bear was after him. and acted
accordingly. The animal had evidently
been i1voluntarily carried 70 sea on
the iceberg and had been thrown on
the deck by thhe force Of the collision.
He was as much frightened as the fire
man was He speedily realized that
the deck Of a ship was a less desirable
berth even than an iceberg. and quick /
az a wink he was over the side swim I
