WOOD FOR BOXES

Bureau, Natlonal IumDer
 Manufacturers Association.
 It is calculated that about 15 per cent of all the lumber produced in the United States is consumed in the manufacture of wooden boxes. This is an item of large enough volume to make it quite a problem as to the sources from which box lumber shall be obtained in these days of decreas- ing lumber production.
 A few years ago when wood was much cheaper than now. basswood. poplar and cottonwood were very commonly used for boxes. In later years there has been much use of the gum trees in box making. Now the cabinet workers and furniture makers are beginning to complain that red gum is too good a wood to be. used in boxes. The tendency is for the box manufacturers to be driven to lower and lower grades of lumber. Notwithstanding the intro duction of various substitutes for wooden boxes and packages. the de- mand for them keeps up and no suit able substitutes are in sight for many purposes. Florida alone requires about 15.000,000 boxes for the annual stock of the citrus fruits and Califor- nia requires about the same number for the same purpose.
 More than two-thirds of the low grade product of the North Carolina pine region is ordinarily used for box purposes. Nearly 50 per cent of lob- lolly or North Carolina pine goes into boxes; 35 per cent of shortleaf pine in the same territory; about 8 per cent of longleaf pine and smaller per- centage of the other softwoods in that region. Most of the other pine box lumber used in the east comes from the second growth pine of white and other species in New England territory.

LAWLESS AMERICA

Cornelia J. Cannon, in The North
 American Review.
 We are regarded among nations as a lawless people. If we cannot put away an attitude so characteristic of racial childhood our feet are AS surely set on the broad path of de- struetion as those of the undisci- plined boy who knows no will but his own. It is not enough to teach our people to accede to the will of the majority and to respect the law. We must weave into the very texture of their moral attitude a tolerance for other mems opinions. We may never be able to train our fellow citizens to enjoy differences, but we can teach them to be aware of the fact that differences will exist until there is left but. one survivor of the human race.

SAW THREE PRESIDENTS KILLED

B. c. Forber, in Forbes Magazine.
 Here is the amazing. the eery. ex- perience of Robert T. Lincoln. son of President Lincoln, and now in his eiyhtieth year. He related it recent 1y to a ftiend and, so far as l know it has never before been published: Young Lincoln was in the arr and stationed in Virginia when he re- ceived an order to report at Wash ington, He got into the theatre just in time to see his father receive his fatal wound.
 Young Lincoln was Secretary of War under Garfield. He was asked by the President to meet him at the station and he reached there just as Garfield was assassinated.
 MT Lincoln received an invitation to attend the formal opening of the American Exposition al Buffalo, and accompanied by his family. got there just in time to see President Mckinley shot by Czolgosz.
 A friend happened to be with Mir. Lincoln when he received an invi- tatien 10 attend presidential func- ton ata Washington a few years ago. He then remarked something to the effect that, "If they only knew. they wouldn't want me there" And he re- cited his experience as here revealed.

It might be called "The Portrait of Man" The story begins when he is a little boy, and presently the reader knows this Stan Hilgert, knows him in- timately. sympathizes with him as he makes the great effort-the effort that every one of us must make--to fit himself into the pattern of life, to find the road to the world.

 MT. Alder is an American who was educated for an engineering career, but became interested in the tech nical end of motion picture produc tion. After building several pro- dueing plants. designing cameras, etc. he was caught by the wander lust and began a long series of in- formal and explanatory travels.
 When he proposed to penetrate. with his party. into the wilder parts of New Guinea, he received an off, fieial warning from the Gesaghebber (the civil representative of Dutch domain in West and South New Guinea), that that official would not be responsible for the consequences if Alder should proceed finland to mere than few minutes walk from my Headquarters. the country being,

"PIpE oRGANn HEARD

A giant pipe organ" with strange medley of notes is found by the long barbed-wire fence that guards the 1000 foot bluff at the summit of Stone Mountain, near Att lanta, Ga.. says the Popular Mech anics Magazine. The hollow iron posts supporting the wires of the fence have in them slits of about half an inch on the side facing the bluff These form series of whis- ties when struck by the. wind. And as the slits are at varying heights and every shift of the wind includes a new group of posts, a weird, ever changing sound is produced The fence was ordered built after several persons had fallen to the rocks, nearly 1000 feet below.
 On the side of the bluff, Gutzon Borglum, the American sculptor, is now engaged in cutting the man. moth memorial to the southern Con- federacy,~ the plans for which were described and illustrated in the Pop ular Mechanics Magazine for April. 1916.

"IN THE MORNING OF TIME" By Charles C. D. Roberts. Frederick
 A Stokes company. publishers, New
 York city.
 A novel of prehistoric times, full of spleodid imagination and artistry Of style -built on q scientific knowledge but presenting it's story in fascinating human terms.
 It is intensely exciting to go back to the morning of time with this mas tery story teller and tC feel with his prehistoric hero the awesome thrill of the discovery of the use of fire, the power given by his first crude in- Nention of the bow and arrow, and the curious beginnings of romantic feeling in the winning of the woman he loves almost shamefaeedIy and who loves him.

THE GREATNESS OF pAsTEuR

Willis Fletcher Johnson, in The
 North American Review
 Nothing could be said that would be more pertinent to the centenary of Louis Pasteur, or more accurately descriptive of the essential qualities of that illustrious man, than what, writing on an entirely different sub in another part of this Review; to wit, that if one is not man of vision
 he will never be a great scientist and again Ideal in aim, but realst perhaps above all other scientists of his age, man of vision; his op- ponents called him visionary, an im- practical dreamer of impossible dreams and not in spite of that fact but. as Professor Kellogg suggests, because of it, or at least in ae- cord with it. he became indisputably che of the very greatest scientists ot the nineteenth century. It might not be extravagent to reckon him the greatest of all. because his achieve ments4 had to do with the science of human life. which we must surely tSlttu tIlt HlEltSl pt ttli ScIeHteS. u would be difficult to imagine a man more ideal in aim than he; aiming at the elimination of all zymotic and probably Tall communicable diseases of any kind from the world, It would be not merely difficult but impossible for anybody to be more realist in method, His conceptions were like those of spiritual creator; his working out of them yied in prac- tieality and thoroughness with the ireXoraDle processes of nature. In one supreme respect his work was l write with all possible reverence like unto that of the Creator of the uriverse namely. it's runity or at least harmony of design. He began as chemist dealing with what we may call the mechanics of chem istry: he became biologist. at once denying most effectively the ehemI- cal origin of life and no less effec- lively demonstrating the command ing influence of life upon chemistry; and while showing forth as few others have ever done the almost in- comprehensible wonders of the ma terial world, he was ever the most resolute and devout of believers in the spiritual world. There is no de- partment of human philosophy which may not fittingly and gratefully pay tribute to his fame.

RAGTIME, GREAT AMERICAN ART

Mary Cass Garfield, in The New
 Republic:
 Say 1t with music" So far Ameri- ca, the hoi polloi, if you will tbut the hoi polici is the nation), has not said anything except with music Ma tional restlessness lives in the ten- flicting rhythm of jazz. In the pre- else insouciance of ragtime, leap out America's own efficiency and lack of reflection, it's good nature, it's self conscious smaFtness. it's childish and oddly pathetic craving for gaiety.
 Ragtime is the noise that fills a too empty room, it is the drunken ness of prohibitionists the longing for movement and color of those who sit on packing cases and look in vain for beauty and rhythm up and down Sfain street. It is barbara cally fierce in it's effort to conquer vacuum and the horn of the talking machine is it's loud mouthed inter- preter, generously underscoring the violent cheerfulness of its staccato. Barbaric it is and yet subtle, a med Icy of strange minor graduatiCns running through the major implica- tion >of it's tone, like the disQuiets, the doubts, the melancholy. distress- ing the American's determined at titude of optimism.

ADVICE FOR THE RICH

From What Else Did Father Do?"
 hy Edward Box, in Scribner's.
 What the average man cannot get through his head is the idea of diyid ing his life between two periods ore of acquisition and the other of distrib button. John D. Rockefeller sensed this and has reached the age of eishty-three doing it and playing golf. with his mind active enough with his distributions so as to keep him vitally interested while all his other associates in Standard Oil who failed to do it have passed off. But MT. Rockefeller had the divination to see that time comes to man who has acquired when he must cease taking out of the world and begin putting something into it. A mans life is like the soil Of a farm, the point comes when he must put into the soil what he has taken out else life becomes barren and unpro- ductive.
 We need not amassst the fortune of a Rockefeller. His is an extreme case Of enormous wealth. It is not so much the man who has made money in large quantities as the man who has large executive ability, who has used this gift from God to build himself up and his family-who, hav- ing acquis.'d ample means. is entirely able, if he wishes. to turn his abili- ty from further personal aggrandize- ment to similar achievement in a field where he will build up some effective instrument for others. The sooner this man realizes that no in- ner and complete satisfaction will come to him if he persists in his self-eentered course, the sooner he gets the truth into his mind that from those to' whom much has been given much is expected, the sooner it comes to him that what his today has come to him from the public and should in a measure go back to that public; the sooner he realizes that we, who are the fathers, will In children. not by the money we were able to make and pile up, but by what we did with it when we got 1.-the sooner we will see a more contehted race of American men iD- stead of a growing proportion of men who. in offices and on the streets and on the golf courses, are dropping in their tracks from strains on their hearts, overworked in the race for more power, more money, and more self-centered achievement.
