Hiiiih'!; for the :uioor;in. They will'
yrazp hi eaeh direction from the trails,

ahout .'t"i yards wide. The wide lnnep
cut nut and L'ruzed hy the oats will
serve ns ideal fire lines in protecting
the forest covered hi nds lying beyond
ami around the chaparral areas, and
also make a place fur reproduction of
luerehnntahle trees.
Largo Benefit Expected.
For the past two years the govern
ment has heen carrying on permanent
improvements in the national forests on
an extensive scale, and the construction
of fire lanes and trails has heen one of
the most important features of the
work. The tak nf clearing the ground
Mid providing land for good forest trees
is, however, perhaps the most important ,
henefit expected to come out nf the ex- j
perimeat.
The proposed work of the angora ,
goats may finally solve the charral prob
' lorn, which has been troublesome in the
state of ('alifornia for many years. The
huphy chaparral growth chokes out seed
lings of valuable coin mere in 1 t rees, :
which may get a sl.irt and when dry is j
one of the worst kinds of fire risks.1
()f;en a small blaze which starts in it
gains such headway in a few minutes
.as to travel hundreds of yards and lick
into valuable stands of merchantable
timber.
The protection to he afforded by the
goat built fire lanes, therefore, may at
last bring relief to the ate. which in
the past ha had its full j-hare of tim
ber os through deslim tive fon-t fire-.
A t the same t inie. a largi- a no -nut of

state police rmimimmnii is made by
the llev,. .M. P. Hoynton.
' The, moral tone of Chicago, ' ' he
Mini, "is tower than that for the state
at large, nt least that part which is
left in the politics of the city. We need,
therefore, the higher power of the state
and the use of state r.nthorily in con
trol of the police of Chicago,
"In the slates where the governor
h::s control of (he cities, police depart
meals thereof have ad :. table ndvaaee
in solving grave problems.
"I feel certain that Denoen would
have a great name In this republic if
he had power to appoint the police head
of this citv."

J LO.VDOX, Fob. 10. llehind the en
dowment by Sir Ernest Cassell and Lord
jlveagli of the new institute for curing
(disease by the means of radium is the
interesting story of how the king him
self will be restored t" health by the
! properties of this wonderful mineral.
The king s recent illness, although
ascribed by court officials to a severe
cold, was a recurrence of his old troll
hie, perityphlitis which nearly cost
the king his life during the coronation
period.
A stubborn inflammation had set in
which the king's physicians found im
possible to subdue hy all known med
ical methods and the king suffered ter
rible pain, both physical and mental.
Ijike ordinary mortals, the king has a
horror of deat h.
It was Ihought an operation was im
perative, but Sir Frederick Treves, who
had been meeting with remarkable re
sults in experimenting with radium, de
termined to try the effects of the min
eral up his majesty.
Within a short time the inflamma
tion had completely subsided and the
king made an astonishing recovery to
health.
