LAWS FOR3IDDING THE DESTRUCTION
OF TIMBER IN EUROPE.
Government* Have Supervision Over Pri
vate as Well an National and Couxiaunal
Forests—Reforesting Carried on by Es
tablished Departments.
In Germany the various governments
own and manage, in a conservative
spirit, about 0110-third of tho forest
art a, and they also control the manage
ment of another sixth, which belongs to
villages, cities and public institutions,
iu to far as these communities are
obliged to employ expert foresters and
must submit their working plans to tho
government for approval, thus prevent
ing improvident and wasteful methods.
The other half of the forest property,
in the hands of private owners, is man
aged mostly without interfcrenoe, al
though upon methods similar to those
employed by the government, and by
trained foresters, who receive their edu
cation iu one of the eight higher and set-
eval lower schools of forestry which the
various governments have established.
The several states differ in their laws
regarding forest property. Of tho pri
vate forests 70 percent arc without any
control whatever, while 80 per cent are
subject to supervision, so far as clearing
and devastation are concerned.
The tendency on the part of the gov
ernment hoc bc-er. rather toward persua
sive measures. Thus in audition to buy
ing up or acquiring by exeliange and re
foresting waste lands—some 800,000
acres have been so reforested during the
last 25 years—the government gives as-
Bistaneo to private owners iu reforesting
tlipir waste land. During the last 10
years $300,000 was granted in this way.
Iu Austria, by a law adopted in 1852,
not only tire the state forests—compris
ing less than 80 per cent of the total
forest area—rationally managed, and
the management of the communal for
ests—nearly 40 per cent—officially su
pervised, but private owners—holding
about 82 per cent—are prevented from
devastating their forest property to the
detriment of adjoiuers. No clearing for
agricultural use can be made without
the consent of the district authorities,
from which, however, an appeal to a
civil judge is possible, who adjusts the
conflict of interests.
Any cleared or cut forest must be re
planted or reseeded within five years.
On sandy soils and mountain sides clear
ing is forbidden, and only culling of the
ripe timber is allowed.
Iu Hungary, also, where liberty of
private property rights and strong ob
jection to government interference had
been jealously upheld, a complete reac
tion set in some 15 years ago, which led
to the law of 18b0, giving the state con
trol of private forest property as in Aus
tria.
Under a law adopted in Italy in 1888
the department of agricultm-e, in co-op-
eratiou with the department of publio
works and in consultation with the for-
estal committee of the province and the
respective owners, is to designate the
territory which for public reasons must
be reforested under governmental con
trol.
The owners may associate themselves
for the purpose of reforestation and for
the purpose may then borrow money at
low interest from the State Soil Credit
institution, the forest department con
tributing three-fifths of the cost of re
forestation upon condition that the work
is done according to its plans and within
the time specified by the government.
In Russia until lately liberty to cut,
burn, destroy and devastate was unre
stricted, but in 1838 a comprehensive
and well considered law cut off, so far
as this can be done on paper, this liberty
of vandalism. For autocratic Russia
this law is rather timid and is in the na
ture of a compromise between commu
nal and private interests, in which much
if not all depends on the good will of
the private owner.
A federal law was adopted in Switzer
land in 1876 which gives the federation
control over the forests of the mountain
region embracing eight entire cantons
ami parts of seven others, or over 1,000,-
000 acres of forest. Tho federation itself
does not own any foiest land, and the
cantons hardly 100,000 acres, somewhat
over 4 per cent of the forest area, two-
thirds of which is held in communal
ownership and the rest by private own
ers.
The federal authorities have supervi
sion over all cantonal, communal and
private forests, so far as they are ‘ ‘pro
tective forests, ” but the execution of the
law rests with the cantonal authorities
under the inspection of federal officers.
In France not only doe3 the state man
age its own forest property, one-ninth
of the forest area, in approved manner,
and supervise the management of for
ests belonging to communities and other
public institutions, double the area of
state forests, in a manner similar to the
regulation of forests in Germany, but it
extends its control over the large area of
private forests by forbidding any clear
ing except with the consent of the forest
administration.—Century Magazine.

lotus flower, tho land of the pyramids,
of the obelisks and the Nile, but a story
true iu word and fact.
It is the story of a key, before which
vast treasure houses, impenetrable for
ages, opened their doors. And when the
portals were thrown wide the searchers
gazed upou vistas containing riches of
which their wildest imaginings had
never dreamed.
It is not a key of gold, though its
value is more than its weight in that
precious metal, nor is it shaped like a
key at all. And the wealth it unlocked
is not only for its finders, but for all
that desire to partake of it, for all pos
terity, for you and for me. I speak of the
Rosetta stone, which is now in the Brit
ish museum.
Many ages ago Ptolemy Epiphenes,
king of Egypt, paid the arrears of taxes
and other debts of the priesthood of
Egypt, and in thanks and to show their
respect for his consideration the priest
hood, at a synod hold in Memphis, passed
a decree commemorating it. The decree
was cut into stone, as that was the mode
of preserving a record of historical
events. This happened about 195 years
before tho Christian era.
You must know that the Egyptians
had a different mode of writing from
ours. They used hieroglyphics or picture
writing, and this, after great research,
has been discovered to be the written in
terpretation of sounds.
That a record of Epiphenes’ deed
might not be lost the Egyptians had the
decree written in three different lan
guages, the hieroglyphic, the demotic
and the Greek. This was done as a pre
caution, because, as the country had
many dialects, a language once iu use-
was likely to die out in time. 80 by
making this trilingual copy of the event,
each a translation of the other, it was
likely to be preserved.
Years passed, and the dust of ages
buried from view the stone that was des
tined to play so important a part in
throwing a light upon the shadowy con
ceptions of modern thinkers regarding
the past life and manners and customs
of the Egyptians.
This is the origin of the Rosetta stone,
but no one in the modem world knew of
its existence until the time of Napoleon.
He carried his conquering arms all over
Europe, and not content with his vic
tories there he invaded Egypt, where he
fought the brilliant Egyptian campaign.
While stationed near Rosetta, in lower
Egypt, some of the soldiers with the
French engineer, M. Boussard, found,
while excavating iu the historical soil,
a block of stone of black basalt, about
8)5 feet In length and a little more than
2 % feet in width. On it they saw strange
and unintelligible wirting or drawings.
It was the Rosetta stone, so called from
the name of the place where it was
found, but they did not dream how pre
cious their discovery would prove.
And it was not until about 15 years
had passed that even one word was
translated. Dr. Young in 1815 made
out the word Ptolemy, and he it was
who discovered that the writing was
phonetic and not ideographic, as had
been supposed. But the key bad not yet
done its work, for, like Aladdin and his
lamp, the talisman had not yet been
conquered.
Dr. Young, continuing his research,
deciphered the word Berenice among
the pictorial writings of the frescoes at
Karnak. But it is to Champolion that
most of the credit is due, for he contin
ued the research unremittingly, and
finally his labors were crowned with vic
tory. The translation of the Rosetta
stone was completed—that is to say, so
far as the stone itself is complete, for
one part of it is broken off.
It was not an easy task to conquer,
but one well worth the attempt, and
honor will ever redound to the men that
undertook and succeeded in opening up
the broad field cf the literature of the
east, the field that glows with glorious
deeds and vast achievements, and that
for ages baffled the wisest.—Philadel-
piha Times.
The game wore on.
The banker, who sat at the head of the
1 table, was kept busy selling stacks of
chips. The betting was heavy, und there
were but two men who seemed to be
winning anything.
The blue chips all came tlieir way. It
1 was simply a case of bullheaded luck. Il’
a man held four kings, one of this pair
would bub up with four aces or a straight
flush or something of the kind and spoil
all calculations. It was exasperating,
but it couldn’t bo helped.
Meantime the two lucky players con
versed cheerfully about their luck and
what they intended to do with tho mon
ey. "I shall,” said one, “go down to a
fur store and buy my wife that cape she
has been wanting so long. I know it is
rather late in the season, but this is an
experience cf a lifetime, and I don’t
think that it will spoil by the keeping. ”
“I shall," said the other, "take part
of mine and get a new spring suit. With
the rest of it I intend to take a trip to
New York. I haven’t been down there
in a year, and I'm just about due for
some fun. ”
The game continued to wear on, and
the other players cursed their luck be
neath their various breaths.
It came to lie midnight, and 1 o’clock
and 2 o’clock, and the game was still in
progress. The two men were still win-
1 ning. Nothing could stop them. At 8
o’clock eveiybody was tired, und it was
decided to quit. The table in front of
the two lucky men was covered with
chips.
The banker pushed back his chair and
said, "I am ready to settle, gentlemen.”
It didn’t take long to settle with the
men who had not been lucky. Then it
came to lie the turn of the lucky ones.
"How much have you got, Jim?” asked
the banker.
"Three hundred and forty, ” replied
Jim.
"And you, Bill?”
“An even 400. ”
The banker took a slip of paper and
did some figuring. Then he dove down
into one of his pockets and produced
some thin white slips of paper. "Here’s
yours, Jim, ” he said, pushing two slips
across the table, "and hero’s yours,
Bill.”
“What are these?” askod the two
lucky men in concert.
“1 O. U.’s, ” the banker answered
sententious!}-.
The two lucky men gasped. They
looked at tho papers and saw that the
signatures were genuine. Then they tore
them up and stalked out together.
"By George,” said tho banker, "I
thought they would never get enough
won to pay off those I. O. U. ’s. ”
“What do you mean?” asked the
stranger in the game.
“I mean.” said the banker as lie
smoothed out a big wad of bills, "that
it’s dinged tiresome work dealing big
hands to two jays like them just be
cause they stuck you once with their pa
per. ”
And the stranger in the game saw a
great light.—Buffalo Express.
No More Milk.
‘ There is no more milk in the world, ’'
said an old gourmet us he sat at his
luncheon at tlie Manhattan club. "It has
gone, and not even a bubble of regret
seems to mark the spot where it sank
! out of sight. Milk, the earliest staff of
ail generations, is now a thing unknown
in polite circles. It’s all cream now. It
does not matter whether I dine here or
in Texas or in California, everywhere
the waiters ask: ‘Will you take cream
in your coffee?’ and ‘Will you have
cream hot or cold?’ The good old staple,
milk, is no longer called by name. Even
in Chicago they call it cream. Milk is
tabooed. It has gone out of existence
with the word ‘woman, ’ the word ‘un
dertaker, ’ the word ‘dress’ and a lot of
other noble terms. Now it’s always
cream, lady, funeral director and gown
wherever you go, even in Chicago. And
yet the ‘cream’ is often pale blue and
thin, and if it was not served as cream I
would swear it was milk, and darned
bad milk at that. ”—New York Sun.

The greatest natural wonder of Ha

Seeing Plant* Grow.
In the laboratory the growth of a plant
may be rendered visible by attaching a
fine platinum wire to the stem or grow
ing part. The other end of the wire, to
which is fastened a pointed piece of char
coal, is pressed gently against a drum.
The drum is covered with white paper
and kept revolving by clockwork.
Of course if the growth is stationary
a straight line is marked on the paper,
but even the slightest increase is shown
by the inclined tracing on the paper.
By a simple modification of this ar
rangement, the growth of a plant can
be rendered audible. The drum must be
covered by narrow strips of platinum
foil, say one-eighth of an inch wide and
one-eighth between each strip.
If the strips of platinum be made to
complete the circuit of a galvanic bat
tery to which an electric bell is coupled
up, then the bell will continue ringing
while the plant grows an eighth of an
inch, followed by silence while the
pointer is passing over the space between
two strips, for the next growth of an
eighth of an inch, and so on.
The growth of some very rapidly grow
ing plants and the opening of some flow
ers, such as the compass plant, can be
heard direct by means of the micro
phone. By the above means it has been
proved that plants grow most rapidly
between 4 and 6 a. m.—New York Jour
nal.
Kept Her Word.
Two young ladies were walking in the
woods one day, when they were accosted
by an old and much shriveled gypsy,
who politely offered to show them their
husband’s faces in a brook which ran
near by for a slight remuneration. So,
paying the sum, they followed the hag
to the brook, as they were very curious
to see how she could do so wonderful a
1 thing and also arxious to sec their fu
ture husbands. But instead of beholding
the faces of the men they so fondly
hoped for they saw their own. "We can
see nothing but our own faces, ’ ’ said
one. “Very true, mem,” replied the sa
gacious fortune teller, "but these will
be your husband’s faces when you are
married. ”—Exchange.
