Hith'rto the government has been content to acquire and administer | lands which were alre:dy wooded. The very definition of the words forest reserve woull seem to imply that the land reserved con- tained timber of some sort, no matter how small and scattered But In undertaking the Nebraska work thq bureau has declared its policy of grow- ing forests as well as administering thoss which already exist; it has undertaken the task of creating sources of timber supply on land that cannot profitably grow field crops. If the undertaking succeeds, or even if it shows In the next few years the proof of its ultimate success, its result is sure to be manifested in the creation of more reserves in the prairie lands of the middle west and the planting of forests on [ & far greater scale, A “Forest” Reserve. A forest reserve was once regarded as land which actually bore timber; now it may not bear a stick of timber, and still be a forest reserve. And it may be far more valuable for a forest reserve if eu- tirely barren of forests than if heavily wooded. There arc few places in this country in which trees cannot be made to grow, and there are millions of acres which will not profitably grow fleld crops, but will produce valuable forests with very little care. The sand-hill country of Nebraska comes | within the latter classification. The land 18 utterly useless for field crops, and the grazing value of most of it is inconsider- able. But it will grow forests, and grow them with profit to the owner, as the government has proved by experimental wlanting. This idle waste contains within it sources of great wealth and usefulness, ‘ this desert of shifting sand has the capacity } for producing timber crops wheré every tree finds a ready market. Around the sand-hill district is a wide 3 belt of rich agricultural lands populated 5 by prosperous farmers. The one great need 1s for a convenient and cheap source of timber supply. The farmer must have wood for fence posts and poles, and lum- ber for his house and barns. Timber is a rare article in the middle west; It must be transported for long dis- tances, and prices are high. A forest in | the sand-hill country would cheapen the cost of wood for the farmer, and thus be of great and general benefit; and it would be a lasting benefit, for under the manage- ment of the goverument's foresters it would \ ROt be swept away in a few years by the lumberman, but would be made to yleld crops perpetually. Profitable Planting. Until very recently practical American foresters have regarded the planting of trees for profit with disfavor. Many ex- periments have been made of tree planting | in the mliddle west by private enterprise, but seldom indeed have they met with su cess. The cost of settng out the planta- tlons has been great and the results gen- erally bave not justified the expenditure: But within the last few years experts of the bureau of forestry have found methods Sent Fres Free Trial Pa:kage of this New Dis. covery Mailad to Every Man Sending Name and Address— Quickly Restores Strength | and Vigor, Free trial ages mos 4 | able remady ‘arc Hing malleq 10wl vhe Write the State Medical Institute.

Nine hundred and seventy-three people were killed by lightniog In the United States in the year 1900. Of this number 201 per- sons were killed in the open, 158 in houses, under trees and 56 in barns, while tho circumstances attending the death of the remalning 151 are not known. Besides this large mortality list there were 973 persons more or less injured by lightning during the same time; 3 were injured while in houses, 243 in the open, 57 in barns and under trees, and the location of the re maining are not known. From these sta- tistics, which are compiled by the United States Weather bureau, it can easily be seen that of the entire population of the United States one in every 40,000 is killed by lightning during a year. A eafe and reliable guide to reduce to the minimum the danger from stroke by lightning s to be drawn from these figures. When a severe thunder storm is raging the safest place is in the open, close to the earth. If the body Is erect it acts as an excellent conductor for the lightning to find its way to the earth. For this reason it s dangerous to take refuge under a tree. Doubtless most of the persons who perished while under trees would be alive today had they remained in the open. It is also in- Judicious to huddle under threshing ma- chines, sheds or in the grandstands of race tracks or country fairs, especially under or near the flag staffs which usually adorn such structures. Men, like animals, are killed, not singly, but in bunches, when they huddle together. Avoid standing in doorways, near chimneys and fireplaces, close to cattle or near the ends of a wire clothes line during a thunder storm. On the other hand, there is not much sense in golng to bed or trylng to insulate one's selt ln feather beds. Small articles of Ever eince the eruption of Mount Pelee the question has been asked many times, Was it an eruption of the Mount Vesuvius type, a raging torrent of lava boiling out over the lips of the crater and engulfing all in its path or was it an eruption more on the Krakatoa order, a grand explosion of pumice and ash, accompanied by earth- quakes and tidal waves? To obtain, an answer to these questlons a Washington Post reporter called on Robert T. Hill, who is better able to give an opinion on the subject of the Mount Pelee phenomenon than anyone else in Washington, having arrived on the island of Martinique a few days after the eruption, where he spent several days studying the situation. In anewer to questions Mr. Hill sald: “The Mount Pelee phenomenon was neither of the Vesuvius nor of the Kraka- toa type. It was of the ‘Pelee type.” That is to say, it was of a type to itself, dis- tinctly original and pecullar. All things cousidered, however, I feel safe In saying that the explosive action of Mount Pelee, on the whole, bore a closer resemblance to that of Krakatoa than it did to that of Vesuvius. “The features that characterlzed the Mount Pelee eruption and which render the phenomenon peculiar to itself are that, up to date, the action of this volcano has been unaccompanied by any cataclysmic effects, such as the destruction of the physiography of the country by elther serious earth- quakes or large tidal waves. What I mean is that the topography of Martinique re- mains the same today as it was before the eruption. Houses have been burned and the trees and follage killed, to be sure, but the coast line remains the same as it was before the eruption, while the natural features of the land, the hills, valleys, etc., bave not been disturbed in the elightest. “In the Krakatoa eruption and the sels- mic disturbances attendant thereupon felands were divided in half, valleys ap- peared where hills once stood, and vice versa, while the coast of nelghboring islands was changed for miles, so that they were no longer recognizable to navigators, but no such thing has taken place in Martinique, where the topography rematns today what it was before the eruption. “Moreover, throughout all the eruptions of Mount Pelee that have taken place dur- ing the last month there have been uo steel or iron, as a knife, kettle or key not tract lightning, as it believed o is popularly It is established that lightning does not strike as often in cities ‘as in rural dis- tricts. The reason for this is based on a scientific principle. During a thunder storm the molsture in the air is surcharged with electricity. This electricity is attracted to the earth. When the force that is drawing it toward the earth becomes strong enough the electricity follows the easiest path, and because upright objects, as trees, houses and men, are better conductors than the surrounding air and are therefore the easiest path, the electricity passes through them into the earth. In citles the elec- tricity in the air is attracted to the earth by hundreds of conductors in the shape of sky-scrapers and high chimneys. There are Bo such conductors in the country and the electricity in the clouds is allowed to ac cumulate so that when It gives away it breaks with great force. The country is a theater with but one exit, while the city is the same theater with many exits. When these facts ere considered tha wonder is not that so many people are struck, but rather that so many people escape. The flash will not Inflict harm, as one who lives to see the fire need concern himselt no more with that dis- charge. It one has been struck by lightning the first thing to do Is to go to work to re- store consclousness, as lighting oftener bpings about suspended animation than somatic death. The condition of a person struck by lightning is much the same as that of a person rescued from drowning. Try to stimulate respiration and circula- tion. Do not cease in the effort to restore Pelee Sets New Style | lava flows. The volcano ejects ash (lapilla), eteam and bofling-hot mud, and of tae vast volume of ash and pumice shot into the afr it is estimated by observers to have risen seven miles and, while most of it was dropped within a radius of twenty, miles of the voleano, vast quantities of the loose ash were carried by alr currents northwest to Barbados and Antigua, westward to Ja- malca, and southward to Granada. In thus ejecting only ash, mud, steam and pumice stone and being accompanied by selsmic actiorf the Pelee phenotenon differed from any other volcanfe eruption so far as known. “Other features of the eruption were the gases sent forth by this volcano. These gases were of a kind that did not ignite until they reached the outer atmosphere. Coming up with the high temperature of subterranean depths, the mass was charged with mineral substances ready to flash into burning gas or to oxidize on contact with the air; and the more vo- latile materials, being of less density than the average, were more abundant in the upper portions of the mass. Such, in brief, Is the nature and character of the Mount Pelee eruption, a phenomenon strictly peculiar to itself, the results of which should be seen to be appreclated. “I traveled over the island alone, eat- ing and sleeping in the huts of the half- caste peasantry, and a more hospitable, honest and cheerful set of people (once that you are away from the rabble of the town) I never met in my life. I noticed this on every hand In Martinique. The people are taking the matter very phil- osophically, and 1 dare say that before an- other year they will be settled. within the devastated territory as unconcernedly as though nothing had ever happened. They are already returning to their byrned and ruined homes, to begin life anew, while in several places in the neighborhood of the volcano the people remained through- out the eruptions. “This was notably the case at Morne Rouge, where the priest and his little flock braved the storm of fire and have thus far escaped unharmed. Many, if ngt the greater portion, of those killed were the victims of gas that took fire when it reached the air. The gases of which I speak come out of the crater with a puff and ascend skyward In the form of a - of the Carib Indians on St. animation in less than an hour as you value the life of the sufferer, The method used to restore respiration is immaterial. A good way is to imitate the motion of respiration by alternately compressing and expanding the lower ribs. Do this gently but persistently at the rate of twenty times per minute. Keep the body warm by the application of hot flan nels, botties of hot water, hot bricks, or in case of an emergency warm clothing from bystanders. Rub the limbs upward so as to force the blood to the heart and brain Two or three persons n do this, re. membering all the time to make but one stroke, and that toward the body, so as to force blood toward the heart. Rud firmly, but energetically. Three things are to be borne in mind; do mot give up, keep up the effort to restore respiration and keep the body warm by rubbing and hot applications. When swallowing ia es- tablished a teaspoonful of warm water, wine, diluted whisky or brandy, or warm coftee, should be given. When consclous. ness is restored encourage sleep. Do not give up, keep at work, and send for a physician. Of the vislble effects of lightning stroke upon the human body little more can be sald 'than that sometimes burns have been noticed, and frequently red markings, which are localized congestions of the small blood vessels of the skin. These, because of the branchings and net work, have led to the fanciful idea of photo- graphs of trees. The effect of lightning is to cause a temporary paralysis of the respiration and the heart beat, which, it allowed to continue, will deepen into death, but when treated as above desrcribed will generally pass away. Destructive Features of the Martinique Eruption. thick dense cloud. The people of Mar- tinique, the negro and mulatto peasantry, are the most thrifty and prosperous people in the West Indies, and wherever 1 went through the districts not affected by the eruption I saw the evidences of their thrift in the shape of clean, neat and comfortable homes, well-tilled flelds and good cattle and domestic animals. “In this same connection I want to say that the story has gome the rounds of the press to the effect that the last remnant Vincent wi destroyed by the eruption of Soufriere is a mistake. These so-called Caribs were negroes with a drop or two of Indlan blood in their veins and were not all destroyed There is another remnant of the Caribs living on Dominica, but the most of them are in Honduras and the Orinoco valley of South America, 8o that as a tribe they are not destroyed by any means. “Thoee In the Orinoco valley are the purest representatives of the race and are living in the original home of the tribe. The Caribs of Honduras were transported thither many years ago from St. Vincent and Dominica by the British, just as that nation transported the - Acadians from Nova Scotla, for the reason that they were too troublesome on the islands. So you see the Carib stock is not in any immedi- ate danger of extinction and that there ie more than one remmant of the tribe be- sides the so-called St. Vincent Caribs. “Apropos of the St. Plerre disaster it is worth while to read that part of Lafcadio Hearn's description of Martinique dealing with Mount Pelee. This book appeared in 1887 and in it Mr. Hearn says: “‘Is the great volcano dead? **¢ ¢ Nobody knows. Less than forty years ago it rained askes over all the roofs of St. Plerre; within twenty years it has uttered mutterings. For the moment it appears to sleep, and the clouds have dripped into the cup of its highest crater till it has become a lake several hundred yards in circum- ference. The crater occupled by this lake hae never been active within human mem- ory.

This is es- peclally true in the middle west, where timber s ecarce and there is a good market tor all forest produce. The principai tree selected for planting in the sandhill country, the tree in which bull pine, scopulorum of the Rocky mountalns. has been found growing naturally, and it seems speclally adapted to the soll and climate. . A dosen years ago the Bureau of Forestry made an experimental planting of bull pine in Holt county on land that ehowed the |average conditions of the sandhill country. Although the plantation was partly de- stroyed by fire, what trees escaped showed a remarkable growth. Exposed to the dry, hot winds which sweep over the country, in a place where the rainfall is seldom above twenty inches a year and often as low seventeen inches, this hardy western pine has grown from fifteen to elghteen teet. The minimum rainfall under which trees will grow s reckoned at twenty inches and under such a condition they are usually dwarfed, scrubby and unfit for timber. But in the sand hills the bull pine has shown a rapld and even growth and promises to develop into a fine tree. The reason for this lies in the peculiar nature of the sofl and in the drainage conditions of the coun- try. Once n Sea Bed. The sandhill country ocuples about s third of Nebraska and lies in the center of the state. Geologists belleve the country was once the bed of an inland sea whose sandstone deposits, under the wearing in- fuence of the prevalling northwest winds, have crumbled into sand and been heaped up in drifts and mounds. The sandbills have been piled at right angles to the wind, that is, from south- west to northeast, and this is the cour taken by the rivers which flow through the country, It is the general belief that a great underground flow of water passes through the sandhills and drains the entire area. It has often been observed that no mat- ter how dry the season may have been or haw long the hot winds may have been blowing the sand only a few inches beneath the eurface 1s always moist.

The Bureau of Forestry has planned to the government puts its confidence, 1s the | or rock plne—pinus ponderosa | In | the wet valleys along the rivers this tree | | hole it draws out the sand and plant up the sandhill reserves gradually with trees by making small plantations of four or five acres in the most fayorabls parts of the country, and gradually extend- ing them until they ultimately merge to- gether in a continuous forest. Thus wide- spread mistakes will be avolded, and the conduct of one plantation will affect the treatment of the rest. The most serious 'problems with which the bureau will have to deal in the sand- hill reserves are the prevention and sup- pression of fires and the regulation of grazing. Poor as the country is for graz- ing purposes, it does support many herds of cattle whose owners have acquired by long occupancy & certain title to the public range. The country is, however, too severely grazed, the range is growing steadily poorer, and conflicts between cattlemen over grazing privileges are more frequent than formerly. Mr. Gifford Pinchot, chief of the Bureau of Forestry, sees here an opportunity to benefit both the government and the cattlemen. He has planned to co-operate with cattle owners in such & way as to grant rights for grazing privileges on certain parts of the reserves for a small rental, with the understanding that the cattlemen shall as- sist the government In keeping out fires or suppressing them when tbey do occur. This should prove more satisfactory to the attlemen than the present condition of affairs, for while he now pays no rental, he is constantly annoyed by intetference from other rangers, and he would willingly pay the emall sum required to gain a graz- ing title which he could defend in the courts. As for alding in the suppression of fires, that is to his interest also, for fires are disastrous to the cattlemen in the sand- hill country, as well as to the government with its forest plantations. Whenever the grass ls grazed too close or burned off the wind begins to tear holes in the sand and change the topography of the country. Hills Blown Away, The thin, wiry grass forms a sort of mat over the hills which holds the sand in place, but when the grass is grazed or burned off the wind gets In and eats a hole into the sofl. This phenomenon is called in the sand! country & “blowout.” The ‘blowout” usually starts at the bottom of the hill, always on the windward side, and works upward. As the wind eats into the atters it over the side of the hill. The forest planting in the sandhill coun- try is watched with friendly interest by the people of Nebraska, who feel confident of its success, now that the government is be- hind it. The work means much to them, for if it succeeds on the limited area in- cluded In the forest reserves it should sue- cecd anywhere in the 15,000,000 acres of un- productive land in the entire sandhill country and thus inoresse tremendously the value of the state's arel \ PRATTLE OF THE YOUNGSTERS.
