Sgepreng Mc FORESTS BATTLE. Two Well-Known Societies Discuss the Destruction of Trees. Secretary Morton and Prof. Fernew the Speakers—Need tor Forest Pro- tection im This Country. _ A {joint meeting of the National Geo- | i graphic Society and the American Forestry Association Was held at National Rifles’ Hall last night. It was well attended by the members of the two organizations and their friends, and it is safe to say that the hall never held a more intelligent and scien- tifle audience. Mr. Gardiner G. Hubbard, president of the Geographic Society, pre- sided and in a few well chosen remarks in- troduced Secretary Morton of the Depart- ment of Agriculture, who also made a short address, in the course of which he spoke : of the deep personal interest he felt in the efforts being made for the preserva- tion of the forests. Recognizing the great influence of physical enyironments in the development of the resources of the country, he said, the one great thing lacking in the states of the interior Was forests with their manifold benefits. He referred. proudly to the arbor day celebrations of his own state, Nebraska, and expressed the opinion that the absence of forests was mainly respons- ible for the cyclones and droughts that have caused so much devastation in the unpro- tected prairiw lands of the west. One of the saddest and most significant sights he had ever looked upon was the vast treeless tracts of the west, upon which the sunshine of summer poured down and the biting winds of winter mercilessly swept to the destruction of vegetable growth, the dis- comfiture of animal life, and, consequently, the injury of the farmer. For'such a state of attains man sk et Bott 2 But the tnception and universal spread of the observance of arbor day marked, he be- lieved, a new era in forestry, and was for the benefit of “those who will come after us.” Secretary Smith of the Interior Depart- ment, wha wes expected to make an ad- dress, was unable to be present by reason of the illness of his son. Prof. Fernow’s Lecture. The address of the evening was made by Prof. B. E, Fernow, chief of the forestry division of the Department of Agriculture. lt was a Jecture entitled, “The Battle of the Forest,” and consisted of a word picture illustrated by beautiful stereopticon views of the struggle for existence that the trees have waged against the forces of nature and man since the beginning of the world, con- cluding with a fervent appeal for assistance in the efforts of the forestry ation for the preservation of the forests in the inter- ests of natural beauty and humanity. Forestry, he said, was one of the mutable elements of geography and was perhaps the only element in the hands of man. Tree growth ought to predominate everywhere. Arborescent flora was in active competition with the forces of nature in all parts of the world, and its ultimate triumph rested with man. It is questionable whether a tree ever dies of old age. When it gets old it renews its and seems peren- nial. Trees are the oldest inhabitants of the globe, and the pyramids and other human monuments are young in comparison. ‘There are trees whose existence undoubted- ly began somewhere about 4,00), 5,00) or possibly 6,000 years ago and the sequoias of California have a record of 3,500 years. A Hard Struggle. The lecturer gave an interesting history of the different species of trees and told of their conflicts with glaciers, volcanoes and other destructive forces of the earlier ages of the earth and of their successful strug- gles for existence under all sorts of condi- tions, climatic, volcanic, &c. The virgin forests had withstood many attacks by storms and floods, but were now in great danger of destruction by the unintelligent acts of the lords of creation, whom they had most t befriended and who were thought- lessly doing irreparable country in their a race for rapid wealth, comsequences. Many intererting errs ‘were given of the soil- making properties of trees and the great in- were described by vidual merits and uses commented upon. The trees of the. United States were de- scribed in detail, from the palms and man- cacti of the extreme south to the hardy oak and hickory of the north, and the locust, pine, willow and juniper of the Atiantie to the sequoia red wood and cy- press Pacific. Phe giant sequoia of the Pacific is dying out, but the monarch of the east—the locust—seems still v and thriving. Investigation has shown that the western of our mountain ranges are better led then the eastern slopes and that the mountains themselves have exercised potent influence in the battle of the forests. Protection Needed. Of the 425 arborescent species in the United States not more than forty or fifty are utilized in the purposes of trade. The best trees are destroyed and the more worth- less are allowed to remain. This is a short- sighted policy and ought to be corrected at once. Ordinary intelligence would sug- gest that it is better to take the bad and leave the good so as to exterminate the former and perpetuate the iaiter. The lec- turer showed how the interests of the coun- try were suffering from the willful and wasteful destruction of forests and said it was almost inconceivable that intelligent men would permit such a deliberate inj to the fertility of their country. Mat million dollars have been spent in restor- ing the forests and many millions more are required to repair the injury done in the ruthless destruction by the acts of man. The efforts of France and Germany for the protection and preservation of their forests were contrasted most unfavorably with the lack of action of the United States in this most important matter. The lec- turer gave a brief description of the meth- ods in vogue in France for the restoration of forests on the denuded mountains of that country and closed with an appeal for assistance in protecting our own forests from further inroads by the ill-advised woodchopper and destroyer. Service of Song. The choir of the 19th Street Baptist Church, assisted by Miss S. R. Squires, Ma- dam A. Lee Slade and Mr. H. B.

It is a well-known fact that the generals of the revolution were, many of them, ex- | ceedingly illiterate men and far from model letter writers. A very cursory view of their epistolary efforts is svfficient to convince | one that they had as little regard for the king’s English as they had for his subjects, and that they murdered the one while tell ing of the killing of agen other. This, how- ever, detracts nothing from the value of their autograph letters. Jn fact, it is pain- ful to note, but none the less true, that the autograph collector is continually paying a@ premium on illiteracy; for the jetters of a man whose feats of bravery entitle him toa high place among the notables of the land, but who finds it less of & task to win a battle roe to wp mph mo make the most valuabie part of a collection, they are so rare and so difficult.to obtain, t i i ! i i g ii i i é U ! : nd i ie ae: 5 i It, WwW.
