Tesla Ilk vik 4=Nal roxi it,'ri1 Woodman Fell That Tree. One of the great leaders in forest ccn,serzrton says that the most harmful thing ever written about for- estry was the poem beginning: "woodman, woodman, spare that tree." This may seem odd at first sight but the point the forester desired to make was that the object of forest conserva- tion is not sentimental but practical. The forester protects forests from fire and other enemies not for the sake of the trees but • for the sake of men and women.. When forest trees are ripe they should be cut and put to roma use, as quickly.as possible. There Is no more virtue In keeping a forest till it is over -ripe than in keeping a field of wheat uncut when it is fit for the reaper. Uatli a forest is ready for the saw It should be protected, and wheu cut down the soil on which it stood, it not fit for agriculture, should be left In shape for theeJmmediate -starting of another crop of trees. Of course, the commercial forester, while prim drily concerned in growing forests for the saw, does not ignore the immense value, both practical and sentimental, of park and roadside trees. It pains him to see a flue tree butchered be- cause of ignorance or carelessness, at.d he realizes that the cause of farr,:t conservation gains much from the support of men and women wboso Interest is not so much in the forest es a whole as in seine individual tree or grove. Thus all citizens, whether they think of the commercial side, or of the condition of the trees around their homes, can join wholeheartedly in the work of forest conservation. Paying With Fish -Hooks. In odd corners of the world many queer things aro used as money. In Minn you may find in circulation. lumps of gold or silver bearing marks which show that they were first issued hundreds of years ago. In shape they are square, oval, or oblong, and they weigh anything up to one and a halt pounds. The Chinese use small strips of brass or oopper, some of which are worth less than a hundredth of a pen- ny. Some of the Mongol tribes pay their bills With little cubes of com- pressed tea, In Burnie one finds the cowrie shell used as money, while little porcelain coins take the place of halfpence. The Inhabitants of some of the districts bordering the Persian Gulf do their buying and seling with Ilse -hooks Of various sizes. Africa provides a_ weird assortment. Beads, elephant tucks, and spear heads are all used as coins. - 1n Oceuila flint axes aro the most comment means of exchange, but we find considerable use made of parrots' feathers woven Into ropes.

In the last few weeks items have been going the rounds of the Canadian press doubtless clipped from Milted States papers advising farmers to atop erosion iu the gullies on their terms and render these waste places produc- tive by planting longleaf and shortleaf pines, The advice in regard to the gullies is good but if the ferment want to grow longleaf and shortleal pines they will have'to put a glass root over the gullies and apply artificial heat. The native home of these pines is "way down'In Tennessee" and they do not grow aatistactortly north of Vir- tela. But Canadians neednot be downhearted, because they can grow better trees than these southern pines: Th'bre le a large amount of information available in Canada as to what trees to grow. Provincial lereeters are glad to give information and the Dominion Foreetry Branch hag Welshed two bending 'Mitch may be had flee upon application to the Director of Forestry, Ottawa. .They aro No. I, "Tree Plant, ing on the Prairies,' for the Prairie Prdvinces'; and No. 00, "Care of the 'S'Voodbat," tor the other,provinccs. Fish aro believed to }lave a keen Whatever the toudenotes of mod- ern, business and industrial methods are, one thing is certain, the hearts, of the people ere right, Allthe profiteer- ing, labor disputes and social unrest that we see to -day are unnatural con- ditions, disliked by everybody. 13rcught into being largely by the dis- location of the whole world during the years of war,. these social ab normalities most pass- away. Thny cannot possibly endure; they will not be tolerated by the thinking peoples of the earth. Profiteering and labor disputes work towards destrudtion, but the world wants service. Every- where we go this idea of being of ser- vice to our felows is gaining .ground. What a splendid example of this is afforded by the Rotary Clubs, a new. organization which already has jump- ed into tete forefront of the fight for human hapiness and betterment, These splendid 'clubs are now formed in most of our large towns and cities, and as their watchword is "Service," no drones or lazy folk are admitted to membership: You must be a worker or you stay outside. Even after join- ing, oining, if you fail to attend the regular meetings or take part in the club's activities, out you go. These clubs being non-sectarian, all the most energetic men in the com- munity are eligible `for membership, and rarely is there any worthy cause that the Rotarians hill not endorse and help forward by every means in their power. One of the most inter- esting features of the notary Club. meetings is the promotion of 'Cheerful - teas and frienil'shiip, All eonvcritlens ale set aside and Members arecalleU by their Ohristian names. After the soupis served there is a •ding -song in whieh everybody must join. Good- fellowship without formality reigns supreme, promotes digestion, and rests the mind for, an hour from the worries and concentration of business or professional life, Above everything the purpose of the Rotary Club is to bo of use and service to others and to themsolves. Thele creed is pro- gressive and rings true, Here it is: "My business standards shall have in them a note of sympathy for our cortf- znonhuinanity. My business dealings, ambitions and relations, shall always cause me to take into consideration my highest duties as a member of so- ciety—to consider my vocation worthy -and as affording me distinct opportunity to ' serve society—to improve myself, increase my • effi- ciency and enlarge my service, and by so doing attest my faith in the funda- mental principle of Rotary, that he profits most who serves best" Surely nothing could be more in line with the Social Service program of Public Health than this creed of the Rotarians. May these clubs grow and prosper! World's Biggest Saw: There has just been fashioned for one of the big lumber mills In British. Columbia the largest circular saw ever made.

Tito secret of ebtafning eggs with. white yolks has been solved, it is stated, by two poultry breeders. The yolk derives its fine, yellow color from a natural dye, carotin, which also constitutes the pigment of carrots. This carotin produces, as well, the intense yellow coloring in the beak, the earlaps, and the legs 01 Leghorn, an. Italian breed. By eliminating ail carotin from !tile feed it was.poseIble to .produce per- fectly white Leghorn hens, and these hens in turn laid eggs .with. white yolks; their fertility was net, how- ever, limited in the least. Tho frequent disappearance of the yello v pigment from carhops, legs, etc., which has been observed in Leg- horn, during the laying period, is caused by the fact that during this time carotin is excreted, first of all is the yolk. In the case of laying hens which produced eggs with whit° yolks, the carotin contents of tete different feeds could be examined very easily. . It proved that carotin Is contalied in greatest amount in Indian corn and green feed. Will It Be Fine? Do you know how to tell if it will keep fine, no matter where you hap- pen to be? It is quite simple. Just watch the herds and the animals. Their actions will give you as good a weather fore - oast as you need for everyday pur- poses. If you are at the seaside, watch the gulls. When they fly inland you may be sure there will be rain. As the old proverb has it: "Seagull, seagull, sit on the sand, It's never flee weather While you're. on fife land." Weather changes have curious ef- fects upon cows. A conning shower will make a cow try to scratch her oars. If a thunderstorm is on the way, her tail will thutnp vigorously against her ribs. Black snails on a country roacl at dusk indicate rain. The humble rooster, too, is a good weathercock. He usually can �s�ent a coming shower well in advance. "If the cock goes crowing t0 bed Ile will certainly rise with a watery head." It is easy to read the weather signs of the sky. A halted moon always foretells rain, The stars, too, have a misty appearance before a shower, "When ilio stars begin to huddle, The earth will soon become a pud- dle." It, when the rain does come, it ar- rives from the east, it will usually re- main for two days. It rain threatens for a long time, it will remain for a long time, Flying Torpedoes. Experiments, throwing a new Iight on the problems of aerial war, are re- ported as having been taking place with great secrecy near Paris. Small beavier•than-air machines, really torpedoes with wings, are sent up into the air under their mu power, and entirely pilotless, and are then controlled by wireless telegraphy. Machines are flown for considerable distances and made to carry out manceuvres while under wireless di- rection from the ground, A further development contemplated Is for a method to be perfected by moans of which a pilot in an aero- plane can control the movements of one of Wiese air torpedoes. This would mean that after a tor- pedo had been launched and controlled up t0 a certain height by the land sta- tion., its direction would be taken over by a pilot In a speoial areoplane, who would send It on ahead until he had gulled it to its target, he htmselt re- maining at s'onie distance.

It is interesting to note that the ream which won the Howison trophy in the Brockville junior baseball com- petition was entirely composed of Boy Scouts.

Taking up the slack fn a boy's lei- sure time is one of the most serious problems of the home. The program of activities of the Boy Scouts Associa- tion has stood the test of twelve years as one of the most practical solutions of tho problem ever devised. Some men accept literally the bibli- cal warning: Spare the rod and spoil the child. Others prefer the promise: Train up a child in the way he should. go and when he is old he will not de- part therefrom. The Boy Scout Move. meat is based on the latter principle and should be encouraged through in- creased leadership by men able to de- vote time to this great work. Canadian Forest investi- gations.
