excess of the total coniferous stumpage
estimate of the Census in 1880.
These are some of the remarkable
statements made in Circular 97 of tbe
Forest Service, which deals with the
timber supply of the United Stales and
reviews the stumpage estimates mad»
by all the important authorities. A
study of the circular must lead directlx
to the conclusion that the latent which
forest products in the United States
have been and are being consumed is far
l»»o lavish, and that only one result can
follow unless steps are promptly taken
to prevent waste in use and to increase
the growth rate of every acie of forest
land. This result is a timber famine.

tion with regard to forest resources as
Germany 150 years ago. During this
period of 150 years such German Stales
as Saxony and Prussia, pmticularly (he
latter, have applied a policy of govern
ment control and regulation which has
immensely increased the productivity
of their forests. Tbe some policy will
achieve even better results in the United

“Of these three unspeakable climates
I give the palm to the strait of Ma

a year round of raw, bitter days of

“Next comes Sierra Leone, on the

Special Knowledge Required to Run a
Wild Animal»’ Hotel.
“To run a wild animals' hotel—for
what is a zoo but that?—requires a lot
of special knowledge," said an animal
keeper. “How would you, for In
stance, know how to provide for a
rhinoceros or a tapir? If you don’t
eater right for your animal guests. If
you don't give them what they want,
they pack up and quit the hotel, you
know—that Is to say, they die. It
amounts to the same thing.
“Yes. It takes special knowledge to
feed a zoo. You wouldn’t know, would
you, that an elephant requires 150
pounds dally — no more, no less — of
rice, hay, straw, roots, bread and bis
cuit?
“A hippo wants more. Give him
roots, hay and grass, 200 pounds of
them, and he won’t register a single
kick.
"A giraffe with Its dainty appetite,
asks only for fifty pounds a day of
chaff, salad, grain and clover.
“But don’t offer vegetables to lions
and tigers, Eight pounds apiece of raw
horseflesh, with plenty of bone and
gristle, is their ration, year in and
year out.
"We have our farms, too. to supply
our table, Just as lots of other hotels
do. Only our farms are queer ones,
One is a mouse farm. In it, with the
help of traps, we raise a tremendous
annual crop. Another is u worm farm,
where we produce yellow meal worms
by the thousand for our birds.”—Ex

Tlie climax came when the quarter
master saw a minister ot tbe gospel on
the rail trying to lower the bow of one
of the ship's boats. 1 ran to him and
ordered him to come down on deck.
The minister paid no attention, aud I
seized his coat tail to drag him down
by force.
Perhaps It was an old coat, for tbe
seams parted, aud a second later I had
the ministerial coat tail in my hands.
He came down then. He was angry
and was likewise a spectacle to look
upon.
He started to call an Indignation
meeting, but most of tbe passengers
bad recovered from their fright by this
time aud were inclined to be merry at
the reverend gentleman’s expense.
He went raging to the captain, who
summoned me to appear. I came, still
carrying the coat tail in my baud.
“Mr. Osbon,” he said, “what are your
orders In case of a false alarm of
fire?”
“My orders,” I said, “are to stop It
by any means necessary. I may knock
a man down, throttle him or split him
wide open.”
The captain turned to tbe Irate min
ister.
“Those are Mr. Osbon's orders.” he
said. "You are fortunate that it was
only your coat that was split open.”
The danger from the false alarm of
fire on shipboard is second only to
the real thing and is always a peril to
be met promptly.
SPEED OF FISHES.
Tarpon, Shark and Mackerel Are the
Swiftest of Swimmers.
When scientists desire to find out
how fast a certain bird flies, It le nec
essary only to set op poles and note
by stop watches the time the bird re
quires to cross the Interval. The speed
of fishes Is more difficult to ascertain.
Nevertheless, as the Saturday Even
ing Post explains, estimates have Keen
made showing that the mackerel, con
sidering its handicap in size, comes
close to being the champion racer.
Unquestionably the mackerel travels
sometimes as fast as an express train
at high speed-say, at the rate of sixty
or possibly seventj- miles an hour.
Other things being equal, the larger
the fish the faster It swims, Just as the
huge steamboat Is able to travel at a
speed much greater than the little har
bor tug.
Undoubtedly the energy employed
by a fish of great size, such as a thirty
foot shark, when traveling at Its l»est
gait Is something tremendous. An or
dinary tug, which represents a maxi
mum of energy In a minimum of bulk,
utilizes about 200 horsepower. Of
course It Is only a guess, but It would
not seem to be over the mark to sup
pose that a seventy foot whale makes
use of 500 horsepower when It propels
its huge bulk through the water at a
rate of thirty miles an hour.
A whale, which Is a mammal and not
a fish, might be compared to a freight
train If the shark Is a cannon ball ex
press. but it can beat the fastest “ocean
greyhound" In a speed contest.
The tarpon is probably faster than
the shark. It Is believed that a tarpon
In a hurry can travel at the rate of
eighty miles an hour.
An Interrogation.
ance It resembles somewhat the wild
chestnut. It grows to the height of
forty or fifty feet and has dark green
leaves, many of them two feet In
length, which are deeply divided Into
pointed lobes.
Hidden among the great leaves the
breadfruit grows. It la a sorosls, Is
nearly spherical, often weighs four or
more pounds and has a thick yellow
rind. This fruit is the chief food of the
south sea islanders. They seldom eat
a meal without It. The eatable part
Iles between the rind and the core mid
when fully ripe Is yellow and Juicy,
It is better for fruit before It has fully
matured, and the natives gather It
while the pulp is white.
Before It Is ready for table use It
must be roasted, when It looks like
wheat and bread and is both palatable
and nutritious. Usually the fruit Is cut
Into three or four slices and roasted or
baked In an oven.
Frequently the people of a village
Join In making a huge oven. In which
several hundred breadfruits may be
baked at one time. Thus they are all
supplied with bread without Its cost
ing any of them much labor. Prepared
In this way, the bread will keep for
weeks.
The breadfruit Is In season eight
months of the year. When the season
finally draws to a close, the last fruits
are gathered and made iuto a sour
paste called “tnahel." This paste will
keep good for months and Is mail«

Bread Is not the only product of ths
hreadfrult tree. From tt cement,
cloth, tinder and lumber are also ob
tained. A glutinous, milky Juice oozes
from the trunk of the tree, which
makes an excellent cement when boil
ed with cocoanut oil. From the fibrous
Inner bark a kind of coarse cloth 1»
made, aud the big leaves make good
towels. The lumlier Is used for build

Besides all this, the dried blossoms are
used as tinder when fires are kindled.

The expression “putting a wltnesi

The courts had an unpleasant way of
putting a refractory or unsatisfactory
witness on the rack, which was -tn
open wooden frame, upon which »*•
laid the victim. His wrists and nnkle«
were tied to two rollers at ..ppoolts
ends of the frame. The rollers wet»

the frame, and then questions were
addressed to the witness. If he »till

refreshing, the rollers were moved
slowly until the wretch’s bones started
