DESTRUCTION OF HAWAII'S FORESTS IS A MENACE | Peculiar Conditions With Which the Forester Must Deal. The Territorial Government of the Hawaliian Islands will appoint as su- perintendent of forestry this winter a man furnished it by the Bureau of | Forestry, who will take charge of im- Lpflrlnnt projects for the betterment of the islands’ forests. The man appoint- ed will have the responsibilities first of determining the location and the boundaries of a system of forest re- serves, and later of superintending a great deal of forest planting both on public and private lands. The forest conditions of the islands that prevail in this country. Mr. William L. Hall of the | Bureau of Forestry, who has just re- | turned from a two months’ examina- | tion of the islands, reports peculiar and | interesting problems which forestry California Stock end Oil Exchange 1 must solve there. The islands contain scarcely any forests capable of yield- ing timber of value for lumber. Nearly all the lumber used for building pur- poses comes from the Paclific Coast. But there are several hundred thous- and acres of forest land of the greatest value for protective purposes. Indeed, | so great is the importance of these for- ests that on their preservation depends the existence of the sugar industry, and that is equivalent to saying the con- tinued prosperity of the islands. The sugar exports of the last fiscal year amounted to $25,000,000, and sugar is | practically the only export. The rals- | ing of sugar | amount of water, nearly all of which requires an enormous irrization, the in flumes and ditches from the wet, mountainous parts of the islands to the dry plains on which the sugar cane is grown. The must be supplied by | rainfall of the islands is nearly all con- | fined to the northeast and east moun- tain slopes, where it is tremendously heavy, some years 'more than 200 On the other side of the divide, more than 15 inches of rain a year. The forests are largely confined to | the rainy side of the mountains, and | are necessary as a protective cover, to | keep the ground from washing from | the slopes and the rain from rushing | back too rapidly into the sea. The presence of the forest cover, since it makes the stream flow regular, pre- venting both floods and periods of lol;‘l the success of irrigating projects. The value of this forest, strangely enough, consists not so much in the trees it contains—for they are frequently low, crooked, and sparsely scattered—as in | the impenetrable mass of undergrowth beneath them. This undergrowth, com- posed of vines, ferns and mosses, is of so dense a character that it shades the ground absolutely and holds water like It is, however, exceedingly delicate and easily destroyed. Let cat- tle into such a forest and they will speedily eat or trample down the un- | dergrowth till the bare ground is ex- posed. ' The soil then rapidly dries out and 'becomes hard, and the trees soon die.- Grasses, insects and wind usually the destruction. Cattle and growth. The Hawaiian public lands consist of 1,772,640 acres. All of these lands, which are in forest, and many forest areas privately owned which the Gov- ernment can gain possession of by ex change, will be put into forest reservi cleared of cattle and goats, fenced, and Some compensation must also be made for the great areas of for- est already destroyed. It will be part of the work of the forester to plant to valuable trees large areas of this de- ! nuded land upon which forests are of most vital importance to the agricul- tural interests. Mr. Hall, who care- | fully examined the climatic conditions, believes that species of the Pacific Coast, such as redwood and red fir will do well in most places at the higher elevations on the islands. An example of how a foreign species may succeed | in Hawail is furnished by the mesquite of our own Southwest, which was in- troduced into the islands some 50 years ago and now covers about 100,000 acres, furnishing quantities of valuable fuel. in Hawail, however, bt goes by the name of algoba. —————— With the Mind’s Eye. A man blind from birth, speaking of the mental pictures which unfortunates like himself have of external things, said: “We get some idea of shape, more than we do of size. Of color we have an idea of black and white and of red, but I think few, if any, of us can com- prehend any other hue. ‘We picture the sun as an immense mass, with red rays shooting about it, and daylight as a million white shafts floating above the earth. “When a blind man dreams his dreams are not like those of other peo- ple, but consist almost entirely of sen- sations of sound. He cannot dream of scenes and places, for he has never blind of the objects which appear in the visions of the night to those who can see. I speak of those who have been blind always, for, of course, with idly to them in sleep. But one who has been blind always cannot dream of see- *
