Woyld Reads, and
Asks "Whof's Next?''

How time and events verify the
adage that truth is, indeed, stranger
than fiction
We travel under the seas and high
above the clouds. We talk through
the air and send pictures via space.
Things that would have sent anyone
who proposed them years ago to death
for witchcraft are the commonplace Of
everyday life, familiar to every boy
and girl, observes the Philadelphia
Bulletin.
Two men with only leg between
them commit burglary. A locOmo-
tive kills a huge eagle. A dog with q
wooden leg goes through a fire with
only the loss of the leg. The tones
Of harmonica bring memory back to
a wandering mind that had lost it's
identity. A thief promises to give back
100000 of $500,O0O he STOLE A wom-
ans car plunges $50 feet and she
lives. A horse hurts an opera singer
on the stage. And a man who built
a $7,000,000 business in twenty years
gives it to his employees.
These are only the oddities of q
moment, the flashes of fancy on The
screen of lifes daily moving picture
in the United States. 'Tis a strange
world, my masters. And it's all in the
days news.

Whales Don't Spout
Water From Lungs

In telling over the story heard down
in BuenOs Aires from man who is
trying to sail around the world in a
30-fOot boat, Captain Penric Of the
S. S. VOItaire quotes the lonely voyager
as saying that when whales came
close to him, as they did off the Cape
of Good Hope, their spOutings fell over
him like a shower BATH"
There appears again the ancient and
apparently deathless myth that the
spOuting of whales is a spouting of
water We all have seen numberless
pictures of whales sending streams of
water high in air, to fall over in a
graceful curve. Yet nothing of the
sort ever happened. What whales
spout is the air from their lungs, pre-
paratory to taking in a new supply.
No more than any other mammal
does the whale take water into the
lungs or pump 1t out therefrOm. The
breath mist does rise, but it does not
fall, %nd therefore all the pictures are
wrong and the imitation of a fountain
is not nearly so close as most of the
people who have seen it insist on be-
lieving.

Ohio introduced two new elements into
it's celebration, making it a school fes-
tival and inaugurating the practice of
planting memorial trees. Under the
leadership of John 3. Peaslee, super
1ntendent of schools, 10000 children
paraded through the streets and at
Elden park, Cincinnati, took part in
the program and in planting trees In
honor of distinguished citizens This
plan, known as the Cincinnati plan,"
did much to make the idea popular
In 1888 the American forestry con-
gress met in st. Paul. Hon. B. G.
NOrthrOp Of Connecticut introduced a
resolution recommending the observ-
ance of Arbor Day in all the schools
of the country. A committee was ap-
pointed to press the matter with Mr..
NorthrOp as chairman. In 1884 he Sc
cured the adoption of the following
resolution at the annual meeting of the
National Education association.
Resolved, That in view Of the
valuable results Of Arbor Day in
the six states where such a day
has been observed alike upon the
school and the home, this associ-
alton recommends the general OBJ
servance of Arbor Day for schools
in all our states
Since then the observance Of Arbor
Day has spread beyond the United
States. In 1887 the first Friday in
May was set aside in the province of
Ontario for tree planting. Spain
adopted the plan officially in 1896.
Hawaii took it up in 1905, and it is
now observed in all the dependencies
of the United States and in Great
Britain, Canada, Australia the English
West Indies, South Africa, New Zea-
land, Norway, Russia, Japan and China.

The great trees that one stands rev.
erentIy in awe Of are not attained in
A.
centuries. The grandchildren of our
grandchildren can know nothing of the
sublimfty and the charm of the kind
that grow in the open unless we plant
them.
That is one of the things that the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture has in mind when it says that no
community can afford to neglect Ar
Dor Day. But it has a great many
other things in mind, too. Nothing
helps more to beautify a city or a
town than trees, and few things so
educate the people in public spirit and
foresight as the care Of trees.
What the trees do for the roads they
do also for the fOrested hillsides.
Wherever there are no forests on the
hills and mountains the rain and melt
ed snow rushes off in a torrent, dig
ging out great gullies and carrying
away the fertile soil. Where there
is forest the trees protect the soil
from the beating of the rain; the
roots lead the water deep into the
ground, tU be stored up there and
gradually fed out by springs all the
year round; the leaf litter absorbs
and holds the water like a sponge; the
trunks and roots prevent the rapid
run-off of the water and bind the soil
together. The forest is Of tremen-
dous benefit In preventing both floods
and drought; 1t is in reality a mats
ural storer of water.

commemorate the birth of Arbor Day
as one Of the days set apart for spe-
cfal notice by busy Americans. That
day was first given place among the
days we are expected to take notice
of, in a large way, back in 1872. 1t
has gained ground ever since, ard the
need of such a day for tree planting
Is increasingly apparent as the years
go by and the forest areas are dimin-
ished
Looking ahead to the Arbor Day
centennial, in 1912, it is evident that
the ideal way to celebrate that event
will be tree planting, not then, partic-
ularly, but all the way along from this
time onward. And at about the half
way mark between the first Arbor Day
and the one hundredth it is especially
fitting that many trees should be plant
ed to stand as living Witnesses some
40 years hence, that Americans were
vitally interested in the reforestation
problems of their country.
Any lover of trees, any man or wom-
an who feels the beauty and the lure
of the chief attractions of America,
can make even a small space of
ground, we'll chosen, a green and al
together charming memorial Of this
nearly halfway year, along the road
from the first ArbOr Day to the cen
now which will be in their glory half
a century hence, big enough to be i'm
pressive, young enough to be full of
growth and vitality.
Could there be a finer example of
truly constructive looking ahead and
making provision for the needs and
the happiness Of the years still far in
the distance? Have not millions of
Americans of these times thought with
gratitude and admiration of the service
rendered the America Of today by the
men who set out many rows of trees
along the highways, so years and more
ago?
Only God can make a tree, but we
can all plant one, and care for it, and
Arbor Day is a good time to do it.
1t was not until after the Civil war
that people awoke to the necessity of
planting trees, on anything like a gen.
kral scale. At a meeting of the state
board Of agriculture Of Nebraska, Jan
9eYy 4, 1872, Hon. J. Sterling Morton
1<roduced a resolution that Wednes-
day the tenth day of April be espe-
cially set apart and cOnsecrated for
tree planting in the state of Nebraska" !"
The idea took" and more than mil
lion trees were planted in Nebraska
that first ArbOr day. From that day to
this Nebraska has regularly promoted
the movement. More than 100000 acres
have been planted to nearly a billion
trees, making Nebraska a leader In
tree raising. Since 1895 the state has
been known as "Tree Planters State"
Kansas faced the same treeless con.
ditions as Nebraska, and In 1875 she
observed the day, and Tennessee
Joined her that same year. In 1870
Minnesota fell in line, alarmed by the
ruthless destruction of her white pine
forests. Missouri first observed the
day in 1886.
1t was not until 1882 that North Da-
kota and Ohio took up the movement.

Early Doctors Fees High

In the Fourteenth century doctors
fees were very high, as, apart from
the sum paid down, the patient con.

Yukon Railroad lines at Skagway, and through the latter with the Canadian Government lines at Whitehorse, Yu. kon Territory. Also arrangements have been completed recently with the Canadian Government for the ham, ding of radio traffic between the Sig nal Corps station at Circle, Alaska, and the Canadian Government station at Dawson City, Yukon Territory, Can ada. In addition, the Alaskan Ca ble System connects with nine pri- vately owned commercial telephone companies in Alaska, all of which han dle telegrams, and with the naval ra- dio communication service, and thru the latter with the radio stations op- erated by the various salmon canning interests.
 Cable Vs Radio.
 The question of the replacement of the submarine cables now in use on the Alaskan system by radio has been thoroughly studied by the Signal Corps in conjunction with the leading communication engineers, and it is the consensus of opinion that such re- placement could not be advantageous ly made at the present stage of devel. opment of the radio art Both the ra- dio and cable have distinctive fields of service, while radio may be used advantageously to supplement the ca- ble service it cannot entirely supplant it today These two services are not destined to absorb each, but, like the telephone and telegraph, each will find a full sphere of usefulness.
 Finances.
 Inasmuch as the Alaskan Cable Sys- tenn is owned by the Government. Con- gress must appropriate for it's upkeep. and for this purpose authorizes an ex- penditure of s14O,OOO each year. It should be understood that all money received for the transmission of tele- grams on the system must be deposit ca ln the Treasury of the United States and that no part of such receipts may be expended on the system except by congressional appropriation.
 Personnel.
 The military personnel employed in the maintenance and operation of the Alaskan Cable System, consisting of commissioned officers, 3 warrant of. ficers, and 203 noncommissione and lesser grades, are paid from the Army appropriations, and their salaries form no charge against the upkeep of the cable system. In addition, A civilian employees form a part of the system. and their salaries are charged to the system
 Traffic.
 The purpose of the Government in the past has been to keep a system of communication open which would an. sWer it's own needs and at the same time be benefit to the people of the Territory. That the system has been ln the development of the Territory IS shown by the annual message growth, as set forth in the following table:

points without the service of electri- cal communications. Social necessi- ties of the modern world are such that persons travelling to distant points are their connections at home or other points; and modern electrical commu- nication systems have enabled such contact to be maintained Hence, it is logical, and, in fact, necessary that the residents of Alaska should, and do, maintain considerable exchange of messages with friends in the home land. The cable system long realized this necessity and very early establish ed a night letter system, which was one of the first cable systems offering such advantages to it's users.
 The Alaskan Cable System is avail able for commercial as we'll as gov ernmental use, and handles day mes sages, night messages, night letters, and press matter on the same basis as telegraph companies throughout the United States. At the more i'm portant offices a telegraphic money transfer service is in operation. Wea th- CT forecasts and market reports are transmitted over the Alaskan Cable System and are posted on bulletin boards for the information of tha pub lie. In smaller places where news papers are not maintained, the Signal Corps telegraph office is the center of the educational, social, and political life of the community, as here the news of the world is received and posted on bulletin board where it is read and discussed by the residents of the will lage.
 Future Pacific Gable Projects
 The future will undoubtedly see the cable system involved in further ex- tensions. There is at present but vne cable across the Pacific Ocean from the United States to the Philippines, China, and Japan, and another cable from Canada to Australia. There are IF cables across the Atlantic Ocean, and it is easy to foresee that the day is not far off when one or more addi- tional cables will be laid across the Pacific Ocean. The present Alaskan Cable System may form a part of, or may be otherwise connected with such additional cables. The recent flight of the round-the-world flyers across the Pacific indicates that the shortest route over this vast expanse of water is by keeping close to Alaska and the Aleutian Islands. The Aleutians may be utilized for the location of relay stations should a new Pacific cable ever be laid along this route to the Philippines, China, and Japan.
 Connecting Systems.
 At the present time the Signal Corps maintains and operates in the Alaskan Cable System 2,655 statute miles of submarine cable, 20 radio stations, and $40 circuit miles of telegraph lines, connecting A offices. This system connects with the Government railroad lines at Seward, Nenana, and Fair. baks, and with the White Pass and

BEVANS BROTHERS
GIVEN LONG TERMS
Andrew Gets Twenty Years
For Assault And Luther
Fourteen.

Snow Hill.-Ending one chapter OF
the sensational charges against An
drew and Luther Bevans, Chief Judge
Patterson sentenced the former to
twenty years in the Penitentiary and
the latter to fourteen.
The brothers were found guilty Of
assaulting and attempting to kill War
den w. w. Davis and Deputy Sheriff
William L. Purnell, whom they at
tackled in making their escape while
on the way to Baltimore city jail.
They were soon recaptured and Sat
urday were sentenced under one in
dictment, being tried together.
A crowd of several hundred persons
packed the Courthouse and kept their
seats even through the noon recess,
many eating luncheons prepared to
meet this contingency. When the
court pronounced its verdict OF guilty,
the auditors sat breathless, awaiting
the sentences which Immediately fol-
lowed.
The convicted brothers showed no
emotion when sentence was pro-
nounced, spectators appearing far
more affected.
The trial Of the Bevans brothers in
the arson case is expected to come up
in few days, either here or in Cam
bridge.
The various angles of the case have
aroused the Eastern Shore as never
before and every episode Of the hear
ings and trial, as we'll as the prospect
of further action creates intense in
terest. !
