THE FORESTS OF COLUMBIA Regulations Prohibit Cutting Immature Trees for Lumber—Care of Rubber Tree The world-wide movement for protecting forests and developing them has reached South America. The republic of Columbia has promulgated a decree regulating the use of its national forests and a translation has been sent to the United States by Consul I. A. Manning of Cartagena. It has been customary to consider the forests of the central and northern portions of South America as the forests of North America were once considered—inexhaustible. It has been clearly shown that North America’s woods were not inexhaustible, and it appears that the business men of South America are convinced that theirs are not, and measures have been taken to protect them. Columbia has entered upon a forest policy while it yet has plenty of timber. By using it wisely it will always have plenty. It is taking the “stitch in time.” Contractors who cut cedar and mahogany from public lands in that country are required to plant young trees of the same species in the cut-over spaces. Lumbering and planting must be carried on side by side. Much care is given the valuable rubber tree in the southern republic. In Columbia’s national forests the rubber gatherer is required to give the tree periods of rest, when he must bind up the wounds with wax or clay to exclude the air and prevent the wood from drying. Magnificent Library Work is well under way atkeley campus for the library of the Greater university, cost in the neighborhood inion dollars. Already there are nearly completed, and of men is at work daily. Memorial library will be able by 265 feet; fireproof, and nite and steel.

Around this east, west, and south grouped rooms for speech administration and seminar front on the ground floor by two large study rooms and one for women. Applications are provided on the for the Bancroft collection main floor the entire taken up by the general—a hall upwards of which will accommodate readers.

Lumbering and planting must be carried on side by side. Much care is given the valuable rubber tree in the southern republic. In Columbia's national forests the rubber gatherer is required to give the tree periods of rest, when he must bind up the wounds with wax or clay to exclude the air and prevent the wood from drying. The size of the incisions and their location and number are regulated by law. The tree is thus given a chance for its life. The forest produces yet lives. The Columbia regulations prohibit the cutting of immature trees for lumber. They must be ripe for the harvest. Sapplings and sprouts, which will become trees, are carefully protected. The ivory palm, the fruit of which furnishes vegetable ivory, must not be cut under any circumstances, nor must immature fruit be gathered. The value of this tree is in its fruit—not its wood. Columbia has several species of trees chiefly valuable for the bark they produce. Peeling bark from standing trees is prohibited. This prevents waste. The Columbia government does not propose that bark peelers in its forests shall take a little of the choicest bark and leave the rest to decay, even if there may be plenty more at present. Forest resources in Columbia are great. The Magdalena, and several smaller rivers penetrate the timbered regions and provide hundreds of miles of navigable waters through primeval forests which cover thousands of square miles. With the rapid exhaustion of timber in regions whence the world's supply has been coming, lumbermen are turning their eyes toward the forests of South America. The republic of Columbia understands the situation and seems to be proceeding upon the homely but excellent maxim, "Be saving while there's plenty." Aid For Western Banks New York, Nov. 14.—For the first time since the present financial trouble, Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou this afternoon at the Merchants' Association celebration publicly discussed Aid For Western Banks New York, Nov. 14—For the first time since the present financial trouble, Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou this afternoon at the Merchants' Association celebration publicly discussed the financial situation. In part he said: "We have learned some things recently by the trying experiences. "We have learned the value of credit in the business world and of the corporation. "If any man is guilty of violation of a trust making him amenable to the law, we feel confident the processes of the law will be invoked. "The New York banks have had in the past three weeks the severest tests they have ever undergone. "What they have done to stay the panic will be approved by the republic. Now that the financial storm is subsiding, we should turn our attention to the relief of the country at large. "In the south and west and on the Pacific coast and in other sections of the country are heavy demands for the movement of crops. We believe that if the money now hoarded would be circulated there would be a resumption of business within twenty-four hours. "A panic is legislation is worse than a business panic. The various plans for currency reform must be subjected to the rigid scrutiny in the great field of legislation. "We need fewer and better laws, better enforcement and amendments to existing statutes that are admitted defective and will do much to point out the limitations and define the liabili- We need more co-operation with our great enterprises." Magnificent Library Work is well under way on the Berkshire campus for the library building at Greater university, which is to be in the neighborhood of one mill-dollars. Already the foundations nearly completed, and a large force is at work daily. The Doe Medical library will be a building 220 feet; fireproof, and built of gravel and steel. The entire building, completed, will house about one million volumes, which will mostly be held in a great central stack 105 feet wide, having a roof almost entirely covered. Around this stack on the west, and south sides will be used rooms for special work, administration and seminars. The north side, the ground floor, is occupied by large study rooms, one for men and one for women. Ample accommodations are provided on this floor also in the Bancroft collection. On the floor the entire north front is up by the general reading room, small upwards of 50 by 200 feet, and will accommodate more than 400 persons. The building will be arranged house a bindery and a library, in addition to all of the usual reading departments. It is proposed to install a system of carrying books by automatic tubes or mechanical carriages from the stack to the delivery room. The university has come into possession of the money for the building of magnificent structure through the sale of late Charles Franklin Doe in San Francisco. The sum which is devoted to the new library is a quarter of his entire fortune. Doe came to San Francisco in 1857, Tasting the Czar's Dinners. The kitchens in which the food of the "Great White Czar" is prepared are extraordinary for the elaborate precautions taken to prevent any of his household tampering with his food. The kitchens themselves present the appearance of a strong room of a modern bank, guarded by a regiment of soldiers, rather than the culinary department of a royal palace. Even the chef—M. Eugeno Kratz—who presides over the imperial kitchens, enjoying a salary of £4000 a year, and social privileges equal to those of a general in the Russian army, is not to be envied in his peculiar position. As soon as dinner or luncheon is ready to be placed on the emperor's table a very elaborate system of "tasting" has to be gone through; and when the Czar is in residence at Peterhof, not only M. Kratz himself, but also his under chefs and certain high officials of the imperial army are called in to taste every dish that goes to the emperor's table, after which experiment a reasonable time is permitted to elapse to see whether or not the "tasters" are poisoned. This curious survival of other days comes from Ivan the Terrible. When the meals prepared for his majesty are served, M. Kratz himself begins to taste; and after the strange poisoning interval has elapsed the dishes are placed in an electric elevator with a closed shaft, into which the military officials are locked, and up goes the lift to the ante-chamber of the imperial dining room. Here again the major on duty samples the dishes under the eye of the czar, after which the imperial family sit down to dinner. No dish ever served on the czar's table is permitted access to the dining room save through the elevator shaft. for all the world lily. This, however, is not elaborate precautions made to prevent the czar carrying out their life. Caught the "It takes an artist artist," remarked Guis famous team, "Rogers Panama."

"Which reminds me of the soldier who applied for a leave of absence with a heartrending tale of a sick life crying for him. The officer, familiar with the soldier's way, replied: 'I am afraid you are not telling the truth. I have just received a letter from your wife urging me not to come home, because you get drunk, break the furniture, and misbeat her shamefully.'" "The private saluted and started to leave the room. He paused at the door, asking: 'Sor, may I spake to you, not as an officer, but as mon to son?'" "Yes; what is it?" "Well, sor, what I am after sayin' this—approaching the captain and answering his voice: 'You and I are two of the most illigent liars the Lord never made. I'm not married at all.'"
