Forest fires, sweeping over the wood lands of Michigan, Wisconsin, Mlnuc notn, New York, Pennsylvania and other States, havo cntiseil enormous lorfes of liumnn life and of timber, lhr Itf.Hton Transcript says. Figure? to iitow the extent of the dnmnge for the year 1008 have not been compiled, but fie destruction wrought-by forest flrcs in other years, so far ns It hns been possible to estimate It, urges the need of proU-ctlve action. According to the figures obtainable, the loss of life In forest fires In the United States In the last thirty years, not Including 1008, has been 1,050 per sons, or nn average of slxly-llve n year. Tho number of lives reported to have been lost lu the United States and Canada this year Is more than 150. Official census returns for 18S0 show ed nn area of timber lands df 10,000,000 acres burned yearly, with the value of destroyed timber placed at $25,000,000 to $50,000,000, and, although tbo acre age of forests burned lu later years is much less, the los is not, for the rea son that tho timber Is much more valu able Experts estimate that' the damage done to new forest growth by forest fires amounts to $00,000,000 yearly, figured upon- a basis of an additional growth averaging twenty cubic feet an acre a year, 'tills, for a forest area of 500,000,000 acres, would be 10.000, 000 cubic feet Another Incidental Iofs, the result of forest fires, Is the destruction of soil fertility. The humus, or essentlnl vege table mold, In the soil Is devoured by tho flames. What Is lost in this man ner cannot be recovered for a score of years or more. Then there Is the damage to rivers and adjacent farm country, the con sequence of floods and drought which follow the destruction of forests by fire or otherwise The cost to the nation amounts to inillloiiH of dollars. Depreciation In forest wealth and In the value of Vhe land visited by rises also endangers the prosperity of the territories affected and Is a hindrance to commercial enterprise. Upon the basis of the forest service of the nntlonnl government In Its ex perience with the forest reservations, the entire cost of administration of which, lncludlug a flro patrol, amounts only to one cent nn acre, the whole forest area of the United States could bo weir patrolled and protected from devastating "fires for less than ?3,000. 000 a year. Tbls would mean a yearly saving In timber losses alone of $20, 000,000, regurdless of other advantages. By Its fire pntrol the government forest service reduced the burned-over area from 3SS.872 acres lu 1004 to 109,410 In -1007. During the same period the national forests were In creased In acreage from 58,000,000 to 108,000,000 acres. Wit of the Youngsters $ A little glrl.was asked by her teaclier to define the word "sob." "It means when ypu don't want to cry nnd It Just oozes out," she replied. "Oh, mamma," said little Lola, "I've got n awful pain. Wout you please give me some of that medicine with sugar In It? Quick,, mamma, before the pain goes away." "MiuunnC queried Tommy, "is It big amy for a man to have two wives at once?" "Yes, dear," replied the mother. "Then," continued Tommy, "I s'pose It's smallnmy If he only, has one." Teacher Now, children, remember thnt whatever you sow, that shall you reap.

Small Marglo drew the picture of a dog and cat on her slnto und, calling her mother's attention to it, she said: "Of course, a cat ought to havo only four legs, mamma, but I drew this one with six so It could run away from the dog." "Bobby," said the teacher to a small pupil, "what Is the hardest stone ever discovered?" "I don't know," replied Bobby. "Can't you think?" queried tho teacher. "Yes, ma'am," answered the little fellow, "but I can't think hard enough." Serious Interruptions.
