things, bat they have no differences re­
specting the Immediate causes of severe
colds which develop Into pneumonia.
They agree that colds are, paradoxical­
ly enough, due In most cases to beat.
The patient becomes overheated and
then goes into the open air. sits In a
draft or otherwise cools off too rapid­
ly. and the mischief Is done. The des
lgnatlon "cold" is really a misnomer.
A cold Is not a cold, but a fever w hich
results from congestion, more or less
general, of the mu.-otis membrane.
When the congestion la confined to the
nasal passages and the upper throat it
is called "a cold in the head." When
ft gets farther down It becomes a
“bronchial cold" and when it reaches
the pulmonary tract it is "a cold on
the lungs." but, whatever tlie popular
designations of these colds, they orig­
inate. In nine cases out of ten, in sud­
den alternation of lwat and «•old. Some
people declare that limy "take cold"

may be true, but that Is only another

through his pores. People who are
said to lie "subject to colds” are In
the same category. They are no more
subject to colds than they ar«‘ to other
diseases. Their resisting ¡tower Is
weak and if they did not have colds
they would be suffering from some oth
er ailment. It wouhl be a mistake,
however, to assume that even the most
rugged constitution Is ¡«roof against
“catching cold" unless care and vigi­
lance are exercised. The somber rec-
ords of the pneumonia scourge show
how the strongest succumb like weak-
lings once the disease obtains a foot-
hold. The man who Imagines that his
health and strength are so perfect tha t

most favorable subject for a cold that
Is likely to end his life. Eternal vigi­
lance is the price of health as well as
of liberty. Overheated dwellings and
offices are the brt*eding places of "bad
colds" and "bad colds" are forerunners
of our most dangerous troubles.

GROWING NEW FORESTS.
HE English are known to be a phlegmatic
people. They are also noted for their pa
tient common sense. At the present time
they are going about the solution of the
problem of disappearing forests, aud In a
manner to challenge the wonder as well as
the admiration of the people of the haste
ful and wasteful country known us the United States.
Americans wouhl probably laugh at the Idea of planting
150.006 actes of forests annually for sixty years, at a
cost of $450.000 annually at the start and Increasing to
$15,000,(100 a year at the last. But the British realize
that after forty years the forests would be self-support­
ing, and after eighty years would be worth nearly three
billion» of dollars, yielding In round numbers $10 an acre
annually, where they now average only 50 cents an acre
per unnum.
Americans have not the patience to look forty or sixty
or eighty years into the future on any proposition. They
spend ¡it the bri.ghole and save at the spigot. There
used to be forests which were seemingly illimitable, coal
and Iron di posits which w ere apparently Inexhaustible,
resources of all kinds which, so far as limited vision
could discern, would never give out. But they are glv
Ing out nil the time, though the people do not take the
matter seriously, and would probably rise up In angry
protest If they were taxe«l heavily to conserve the na
lion's resources. They prefer to let posterity do the wor-
rylng whlle they themselves waste the patrimony of
their ancestors. They may and should learn a great
deal from the far-sighted English cousins who realize
that such a purse is not one of Fortunatus. and who
look ahead to the time when it will be empty unless
timely measures are taken for refilling.-—Kansas City

FUEL OF THE FUTURE
NDL'STRIAL development is making Im­
mense drafts on the «-oal supply of tins
country. The ocean steamers, battleships,
railroads and great manufacturing plants
are eating up enormous quantities of coal
annually and the supply in time must be­
come exhausted.
With the coal mines
worked out and the forests denuded, from whence is to
come the supply of fuel in the future for domestic and
Industrial use?
One scientist suggests that hydrogen may be utilized
as a substitute for wood, peat, coal and oil for fuel.
Hydrogen Is known to develop four times the heat of
coal, it makes no soot, and could be used for heating
purposes. Hydrogen is also known to be Inexhaustible,
as it la cue of the chemical elements of water, The
product of combustion is aqueous vapor, which can be
condensed and subjected to the proper treatment for
fuel.
While hydrogen presents the possibility of combustion,
Its segregation from oxygen presents a problem to be

u»»d hb a substitute for coal for fuel Its production must
be economical to make it possible of universal consump­
tion.
Consumers of coal, wood, i>eat and oil as fuel have
used these materials because no adequate substitutes
were offered. The great Industries' and domestic con­
sumption of coal Is not condoned because this material
is held by syndicates to sell as a profitable ludustry. but
rather betause science has not yet discovered an efficient
and cheaper fuel.
While consumers have protested
against the price of coal, they are always grateful that
fuel can be had. It Is one of the great economic proo-
lems to be solved for the needs of future generations, as
the present supply of fuel at current rates of consump­
tion must in time become exhausted. It is time that
scientists were seeking to discover an efficient substitute
for coal, and Invention may reduce the cost of hydrogen
to a level that will admit of general consumption for
heating purposes. Nature has made adequate provisions
for the comfort of her children, and in her laboratory
probably will yet be discovered fuel for domestic and
industrial use when the present supply becomes exhaust-

The management of a large New York department store,
