PRODUCTS OF FORESTS Problems of Conserving Trees Now Engaging Attention The United States is now facing the problem of forest conservation which must be solved by every country some time during its history. The original American forests were unexcelled anywhere in the world. Not only did they cover a vast area, but they were characterized by trees of great age and size, and by an unusual variety of valuable species. Heretofore we have drawn chiefly upon the original supply of timber, and the bulk of the lumber used in this country today is still from trees over 150 years of age. In spite of the rapid rate of cutting and the destruction of forests by fire, ample supplies have been made available by the opening of new regions through the extension of railroads and through the development of logging engineering. The process, however, cannot be continued indefinitely. Already the end of the virgin supply of timber is clearly in sight, and all thoughtful men who are familiar with the conditions appreciate that there is before us a problem which very profoundly affects the welfare of the country. The problem of forest conservation must be worked out from two standpoints; first, by securing the greatest possible economy in the utilization of forest products, and second, by producing new supplies through forest growth. At present, there is a great loss in the utilization of forest products, and the production of new supplies is en-market in the most suitable condition for their various uses. The next problem is the study of how to treat wood products so as to improve their natural qualities. One of the most important line of work at the laboratory will be the study of the treatment of wood to prolong its life. There is required in the first place a thorough study of the various preservatives. Then follows the investigation of the methods of treating the different species with reference to their peculiar specific characteristics. There are a multitude of problems of wood utilization, but among the most important are the investigations of the possibilities of the different species for the manufacture of paper, and the study of the by-products which can be obtained by various processes. The laboratory is especially equipped to make these investigations. I have given special emphasis to the fundamental and scientific character of the work to be done at the laboratory. Every investigation, however, is directed to the solution of some practical problem. Many experiments are conducted at the laboratory on a commercial scale, or commercial tests are made in cooperation with private concerns. In many cases, the work at the laboratory is supplemented by extensive field experiments. Through cooperation with private companies and trade associations, the investigations will not only be brought into the most practical lines, but the results will be given an immediate application. The branch of forest products has been established at Madison. The laboratory is the center of its work. It concerns itself, however, with the preciate that there is before us a problem which very profoundly affects the welfare of the country. The problem of forest conservation must be worked out from two standpoints; first, by securing the greatest possible economy in the utilization of forest products, and second, by producing new supplies through forest growth. At present, there is a great loss in the utilization of forest products, and the production of new supplies is entirely inadequate to meet the requirements of the people in the future. Within recent years great progress has been made in the protection of forests from fire. The loss from that source has been greatly reduced, although there is still an enormous amount of destruction of young growth by fire, and in some sections fire has almost entirely prevented forest reproduction. One of the most important aims of the forestry movement has been to bring about not only the protection of standing timber from fire and other agencies, but also the replacement of forests as they are cut and the establishment of denuded lands. Forestry, however, does not stop with the growth of trees. It concerns itself equally with the disposal and utilization of the products. The two branches of forestry, forest utilization and forest production are inseparably related. The market for products is one of the factors most controlling the selection of species to be grown and the methods of handling woodlands for forest growth. The study of forest products is, therefore, one of the most important lines of work of the forest service. In its work in products, the forest service keeps in view two objects: first, direct aid to the various wood-using industries, and second, forest conservation in its broadest sense. The interest, cooperation and support given to the service by practical men engaged in different industries is proof of the appreciation of the work in products which has been done and is projected. The science of forestry in this country is at its very beginning, said Henry S. Graves, United States forester, in a recent address. While the American species of trees are well-known botanically, the study of their life-history, their behavior in the forest, and their possibilities of production has only recently made much progress. It is equally true that our knowledge of the products of the various species is still very inadequate. The branch of forest products has been established at Madison. The laboratory is the center of its work. It concerns itself, however, with the whole field of forest utilization. There are special branches of its work in the various districts of the national forests of the west, and there are two subsidiary laboratories, one in the state of Washington, and one in Colorado. It is the design to bring the work into the closet relation with all the wood using industries. I doubt if this situation can be met at once or by the application of any one remedy. It is clear to my mind, however, that in this case, as in other conservation problems, there must be some present public investment for the future welfare of the country. This investment will take two forms: first, an increased price of products which must approach the cost of producing these by growth, and second, direct investment in public forests and forestry. So far, the public has not appreciated this condition. There have been public appropriations for the administration of the federal forests, but the various states are now making the investments necessary to solve their local problems of forestry; the general public is apparently not yet prepared to pay more for the products in order to cover the cost of conservation. One of the first necessary steps is public education regarding our resources and the conditions of their utilization. A better appreciation by the public of the conditions of forest production, logging and manufacturing of lumber is essential to work out this phase of conservation and bring about a proper adjustment between the limited resources and the needs of the people. I have felt justified in calling attention to this problem because it is very closely related to the work of forest products and the application of the investigations in this branch of the service. As I have only recently become connected with the forest service, I feel that I can speak without reserve in praise of the work which has been undertaken. I wish especially to compliment the work of Mr. Hall, Mr. The board and allotment among the general recourses 1911 to 1918 to supplement projects which have distribution objectives to share in Yuma, $2,238,000; Uncompahka, $528,000; 435 Huntley, $2,950,000; Sunwer Yellowstone te, $2,185,000; 7000; Rio Grande Pumping,$270; $480,000; Okane shone, $2,000,000.

Graves, United States forester, in a recent address. While the American species of trees are well-known botanically, the study of their life-history, their possibilities of production has only recently made much progress. It is equally true that our knowledge of the products of the various species is still very inadequate. The first necessity is to determine the fundamental properties of the various woods. This information is essential as a foundation for the study of the suitability of the different species for specific uses. At the present time there are many species which are little used or not used at all because of ignorance of their properties or prejudice against them. Many of the common commercial species are for the same reason confined to only a few of the possible uses. It is the aim of the forest service to show the possibilities of all the species and to demonstrate the uses to which each is best adapted. The demonstrations at the laboratory today have illustrated many of the special lines of work and the methods of conducting the investigations. You have seen the methods of studying the fundamental physical, mechanical and chemical properties of wood. A further aim of the work at the laboratory is to study the methods of handling wood products so as best to adapt them to certain purposes. Studies will be carried on at the laboratory to show the behavior of the various woods under different conditions. One of the important problems is to determine the influence of different conditions of moisture on the strength durability and other characteristics of wood. This work will form the foundation for the investigation of the best methods of seasoning wood in order to bring the products into the needs of the people. I have felt justified in calling attention to this problem because it is very closely related to the work of forest products and the application of the investigations in this branch of the service. As I have only recently become connected with the forest service, I feel that I can speak without reserve in praise of the work which has been undertaken. I wish especially to compliment the work of Mr. Hall, Mr. Cline, and their associates in their work of forest products. I wish at this time to express my deep appreciation of the support and cordial cooperation of President Van Hise, and other authorities of the university who have made possible the forest products laboratory. I regard the cooperation with the university of the greatest value. It is not only in the general educational work in forestry that the forest service will be greatly aided, but the association with the university will be very valuable in the conduct of the scientific work at the laboratory. We wish to maintain among our workers that spirit of search after truth which characterizes this great institution. The science of forestry is still in the creative stage. A great deal of the research and of the work of establishing the practice of forestry must be done by the government. To carry on this work, I consider it of the greatest importance that there be no lessening of that spirit of individual initiative, personal responsibility, and high ideals which has characterized the members of the service.

WORK OF RECLAMATION Money Apportioned for California and Other Coast States President Taft submitted to congress this week the report of the special board of army engineers, appointed by him last June, as a result of legislation passed that month, to examine the various reclamation projects upon which work had been started by the government and to recommend which of them should be given a share in the $20,000,000 of certificates of indebtedness authorized by the same act which gave the president power to appoint such a board. The board recommended and the president has approved the allotment of the money among the following projects: Salt River, Ariz., $495,000; Yuma, Ariz., and California, $1,200,000; Grand Valley, Col., $1,000,000; Uncompahgre Col., $1,500,000; Payette-Bolse, Idaho, $2,000,000; Milk River, Mont., $1,000,000; North Platte, Wyoming and Nebraska, $2,000,000; Truckee, Carson, Nev., $1,193,000; Rio Grande, New Mexico, Texas and Mexico, $4,500,000; Umatilla, Or., $325,000; Klamath, Or., and California, $600,000; Strawberry Valley, Utah, $2,272,000; Sunnyside, Yakima, Wash., $1,250,000; Tielon, Wash., $665,000. The board also made a tentative allotment among various projects of the general reclamation fund for the years 1911 to 1914, inclusive. This is to supplement $20,000,000 to carry on projects which do not participate in the distribution of the loan. The projects to share in this money follow: Yuma, $2,238,462; Grand Valley,$500, FILIPINOS IMPROVING May One of These Days Be Able to Govern Themselves The annual report of Brig.-Gen. Clarence R. Edwards, chief of the bureau of insular affairs, indicates that the condition of the people in the Philippine islands is steadily improving and the islands advancing toward a condition which will make them productive to a high degree. The railway mileage is increasing, thus opening up to the markets larger tracts of rich agricultural land; the telegraphs and telephones are increasing; education in the islands has been developed to a point where it is the ambition of every bright boy and girl to come to the United States for an education; and in a general way the islands are showing in very marked way the impress of American civilization. Perhaps the export and import figures will give an idea, as may be had in brief form, of the way the islands are advancing. In 1899, when the United States took hold, the import trade aggregated $13,113,000; for the fiscal year 1910 the aggregate was $37,067,630, a gain of almost 200 per cent in 11 years. Trade with the United States—imports—increased during this period from $1,150,613 to $10,775,301. The export figures are equally significant. In 1899 the Philippine export trade totaled $8,826,018; in 1910 it totaled $39,864,169, a gain of more than 300 per cent in the 11 years. "The effect of free trade," says General Edwards, "so far as exports are concerned, was shown in higher prices for sugar and greatly increase." POSTERS WILL EDUCATE Society for Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis is Active During the next three months the billboards of the United States will display 20,000 educational posters on tuberculosis, according to an announcement made this week by the National Association for the study and prevention of tuberculosis. This will conclude the campaign begun a year ago, when the national billposters association donated free space to the tuberculosis cause, the poster printers association offered free printing, and nine paper manufacturers gave the paper for the posters. The combined value of these several donations for this three-months campaign is nearly $100,000. The posters are in six different designs and are all printed in three colors. They are 7 feet wide and 9 feet high. Already nearly 2500 of these posters have been hung on the billboards of 46 different cities, and it is planned to distribute 30,000 more before April 1st in over 400 towns and cities. Any anti-tuberculosis society in the United States may receive free of charge, except for transportation, as many of these posters as can be hung on the boards in its territory. The national association with the tuberculosis committee of the national billposters and distributors are conducting the campaign. The posters show in graphic form how fresh air, good food, and rest cure tuberculosis; how bad air overwork, and closed windows lead to consumption; and how the careless consumptive menaces the health of his THE CENSUS AND GOOD ROADS The slump in population in Missouri never touched those counties enjoying the advantages of a system of good roads. The Kansas City Star has been making an analysis of the census figures and it finds that the decrease in rural population was confined to those counties that have been least inclined to improve their roads. That is as might have been expected. There are nine counties in Missouri which have a mileage of improved roads of more than 100 miles. These counties and the mileage in each are as follows: Cape Girardean 180, Gaconade 200, Jasper 158, Jackson, outside of Kansas City 280, St. Louis, outside of the city of St. Louis 410, Franklin 200, Perry 140 and Pike 140. The population increased in all these counties and the aggregate of increase is 39,667. The figures include only the country districts in the counties in which St. Louis and Kansas City are located. The increase, therefore, can not be attributed to the growth of these two big cities. But the Star offers further evidence. There are four other counties in California, with $600,000; Strawberry Valley, Utah, $2,272,000; Sunnyside, Yakima, Wash., $1,250,000; and Tielon, Wash., $665,000. The board also made a tentative allotment among various projects of the general reclamation fund for the years 1911 to 1914, inclusive. This is to supplement $20,000,000 to carry on projects which do not participate in the distribution of the loan. The projects to share in this money follow: Yuma, $2,238,462; Grand Valley, $500,000; Uncompahgre, $2,054,000; Minidoka, $528,000; Payette-Bolse, $4,585,435 Huntley, $110,000; Milk River, $2,950,000; Sun River, $3,278,000; Lower Yellowstone, $578,000; North Platte, $2,185,000; Truckee-Carson, $1,594,000; Rio Grande, $1,855,000 Missouri Pumping, $270,000; Belle Fourche, $480,000; Okanoran, $13,000; and Shoshone, $2,000,000. Of these amounts allotted to Grand Valley, Lower Yellowstone and Missouri Pumping are conditional. The total amount of this fund will be $25,351,897. The president's approval was again "subject to the condition that the amendments allotted to the various projects may be adjusted and modified from time to time as is found necessary for the intelligent prosecution of the work and the advantage of the service." THE CENSUS AND GOOD ROADS General Edwards speaks of his trip to the islands in company with the secretary of war, and of the careful study they made on the ground of the problems which confronted the United States in these dependencies. The tone of General Edwards' report is hopeful in a high degree, and it is very apparent that he continues to face his duties as chief of the bureau of insular affairs with an optimism and intelligence which count for efficiency and sympathetic insight into Filipino affairs generally.

"The effect of free trade," says General Edwards, "so far as exports are concerned, was shown in higher prices for sugar and greatly increased production of cigars to meet the demands of the newly opened American market. "The price of sugar advanced so as to show an increase in value of more than two and a half million dollars in the trade of the last year. The sugar market has shifted from Hong Kong to the United States, and the American purchases were 92,668 tons out of a total output of 125,699 tons. There are 45 Filipino students at American educational institutions, 15 of them in institutions in and near Chicago. One is at Yale, three at Cornell, three at Columbia and the majority of the remainder at institutions in the Central West, in Illinois Wisconsin Iowa Indiana and Nebraska. Returning home these students from time to time are employed by the island government or take up the work of teaching. So far as it is possible, it is the plan of the government in Washington to fill public positions in the islands with natives, and therefore when Americans resign places or vacate them for other reasons, natives are always considered for appointment or promotion. In this way it is the desire of the Taft administration in time to turn practically all of the minor civil positions in the islands over to island people themselves. The effect of this policy has been good from every standpoint.

CHIN BEAUTY Schemes Pursued by the Women Of Many Climes with that in View "But，of course，she must know how to make her chin becoming as well as her lips. We are doing a great deal of chin bleaching. The patient is told to sit with her feet in hot water for fifteen minutes each night；这 draws the blood down from a reddened nose and chin," said a beauty expert to a New York writer.

These changes are the result of a careful field examination made by the U.S. department of agriculture in pursuance of a general plan for the correction of all national forest boundaries. The eliminations comprise a number of areas adjacent to the exterior boundaries of the forest which were found upon examination either to be heavily alienated or to be not suitable for national forest purposes on account of having no stand of timber. The largest and most important addition comprises the Heyden hill region southeast from Big Valley and south from Adin. Another addition is made northwest from Pittville and one south from Canby. A narrow strip of exceedingly rough country is added to the southeastern portion of the Warner Mountains division southeast from Middle lake. The unappropriated portions of the lands eliminated by this proclamation will be restored to settlement and entry after they shall have been advertised in the local papers by the Secretary of the Interior.

It Was the Gem of the Wedding Gifts He Assured the Bride. Bored, unspeakably bored, he found himself in the room where the gifts were displayed. But then he might as well be here as any place else, he argued, for everything connected with a wedding was a bore. His gaze wandered listlessly over the collection of silver, meat forks, cut glass berry bowls and onyx clocks till it fell on a faded little old Japanese print almost hidden behind a hideous chafing dish that looked as if it might have been handed down by the cliff dwellers. In another moment he was before it, tingling with excitement, the spirit of the collector rampant. "An Utamaro, sure as you're alive!" he exclaimed, looking about for some one with whom to share his joy. Anybody would do, so he tapped a stranger on the shoulder and announced with the air of reporting the discovery of a diamond mine, "It's an Utamaro, the real thing!" "A what?" asked the man, adjusting his glasses. "It is by Utamaro, the master of Japanese artists," he answered as he fled in search of his wife. She would understand. "To think of wasting it on those denkeys who won't know it from a signboard!" he grumbled. He found her shaking hands with the bride, so she rushed up and rung the girl's hand enthusiastically. "I have just been admiring that peachy Utamaro!" he exclaimed excitedly. "A peachy Utamaro! What's that?" asked the bride, mystified. "That rare old Japanese print up there. It's the gem of your whole layout." "Oh!" exclaimed the bride faintly, looking a little queer, so he thought, as she turned to greet another guest.

Perched on the cupola of Faneuil hall is a grasshopper weather vane which is not only one of the oldest vanes in the country, but is famous as the product of one of America's earliest woodcarvers and artisans, Shem Drowne of Boston. Drowne's shop was on Ann street in the north end. Of the many vanes he made only three are now known to be in existence—the one on the Shepard Memorial church in Cambridge, which formerly was on the steeple of the New Brick church on Hanover street in this city and known as the revenge vane; the one in the collection of the Massachusetts Historical society, a relic of the old Boston province house, and the one on Faneuil hall. This grasshopper of copper, hammered out by hand, has large glassy eyes, which in the sunlight shine like fire. It was made in 1742 at the order of Peter Faneuil when the hall, his gift to the town, was nearing completion. It has not, however, lived a life of unbroken peace, for several times it has been near destruction. In 1755, when Boston was shaken by an earthquake, the vane fell to the ground, but after being supplied with a new leg by the son of the man who made it it was replaced. Five years later Faneuil hall was seriously damaged by fire, but the vane remained intact, and when the hall was rebuilt the grasshopper was once more given the place of honor. Another disaster befell it when in 1889 a flag was being raised to celebrate the anniversary of the evacuation of the city by the British. The hopper hopped to the street below. But in a few days it hopped right back again, and there it has remained ever since, with the exception of an occasional removal for repairs. — Boston Globe. When Solid Iron Floats. Experiments have shown that if a When Solid Iron Floats. Experiments have shown that if a ball of solid iron be lowered into a mass of liquid iron by means of a metal fork the ball at first sinks to the bottom with the fork, but that in a few seconds it will leave the prongs and rise to the surface, where it continues to float until it melts. The rising is explained by the expansion of the ball, due to heating, whereby it becomes bulk for bulk, less dense than the molten metal.—St. Louis Republic. Kipling's Corncob.
