How Many Matches?
The American people use up the
enormous total of seven hundred bil-
lion matches a year, but a statement
Of the number of cubic feet of wood
actually converted into matches con-
veys a very indefinite idea of the nttm
iter of trees required for the industry.
It Is the general belief that matches
are the by-product of planing mills
and other wood working factories, but
as a matter of fact the best grade of
two-inch lumber is u*«d for mulches,
whilst sash, doors and blinds are 'he
by-products of the match-timber saw-
mills. In a single year the manufac-
turers cut 335.000,000 feet I board
measure t of pine in the Great I.akes
region; and one of the 150 odd fac-
tories used up 200,000 feet of sugar or
jrellow pine logs every day. The de-
duction is that, in common with other
Industries of the United States de-
pending upon exist lug forests, the
matchmakers are within sight of a
shortage in the wood supply, declares
Technical World Magazine. When
the present Unifier holdings have been
depleted they, of course, cannot lie du-
plicated In a generation, and the peo-
ple of thiB country may have to get
along with fewer than twenty five or
thirty matches a day cacti as at pres-
ent. In their insistent way they will
probably demand that the practice of
Germany and France be followed, that
foresters plant and grow timber espe-
cially for matches. Tills could readily
be done If forests were placed under
management and were no longer left
to run wild, and produce eordwood and
bruah to fall before the devastating
forest Ares, instead of growing mer-
chantable timber.
GERM-GATHERERS IN GOTHAM
' In the issue of November 36 the
Tooth's Companion told of trees In
this country which had been named
kfter famous Americans. In each case
they were so named because of some
pemonal connection with their name-
sakes. A correspondent from Seattle
writes that at Ravenna park somewhat
the some custom prevails. In thin case,
however, a tree is selected and named
much aa a monument might he reared
In honor of a great man. Paderewski,
Roosevelt—"the largest fir tree In the
State"—and Adam are some of the
jnost recent ones to be chosen. The
laal, unfortunately, "Is beyond chris-
tening, as he Is very dead.' Qen. Rob-
ert E. Lee was to be named on the
birthday of that famous soldier, Janu-
ary 19. The exercises at the Oodles
tlon of the last tree Included un ad-
dress of welcome, a speech on "The
City of Seattle," on "The Slate of
Washington" and on "The United
States," ufter which came the cere-
mony of naming the trees.
The promotion of Frank A. Vander-
Itp to the presidency of the National
City bank of New York, said to be
the largest flduclary Institution in the
United States, adds another to the list
of young men for whom Secretary
Gage opened the way to successful
careers in the world of finance. Mr.
Vanderllp went to Washington in 1897
as Mr. Gage’s private secretary. Hav-
ing been a financial writer on tine of
the Chicago newspapers, Vanderllp
had attracted Mr. Gage's attention in
Chicago as an exceptionally brilliant
young man. The treasury department
is becoming in its various brunches a
great traiuing school for men for the
privately owned financial establish-
ments of the country.
Toadyism has seldom been more fit-
tingly rebuked, or the right perception
of doty more fittingly recognized, than
by the king of Italy al the scene of
the earthquake tragedy. On his ar-
rival at Messinu a man met him with
the remark, "Your majesty's presence
will go far lo coaipensale the people
for the disaster." “Stop!" commanded
the ktug. "Don't talk nonsense!" To
a grout) of photographers he remarked
(that they ought to bo ashamed of
themselves to be taking pictures when
hundreds of persons were dying for
want of assistance which they might
render.

took part In the British museum Ru-
wenzorl expedition In central Africa
in 1905-1906, A. F. R. Wollaston, has
Just published one of the best books
of African travel that has yet ap-

The Mountains of the Moon are
represented by a range of at leaBt five
distinct groups of snow peaks, of
which the highest has been deter-

"From the settlers," suys.Mr. Wol-

Iho country on a different footing from

spoken of as 'a white man’s country,'
but It can never really be a white

the officials nnd employers of labor
are European.
And In any case the extent of health-

For some time pact, New York hee been making elaborate efforte to keep
Ita atreete clean. Varloua appllancee have been experimented with, and the
reeulte have been teeted bacteriologically. Platee similar to those used In the
laboratory for making bacteria-culturee were exposed in the streets in differ-
ent localities, and the number of bacteria-coloniea which developed on them
during exposure at particular apota before and after the streets had been
cleaned gave a ready, If scientifically rough, Idea of the effectiveness of the
apparatue. Thue, in Fifth avenue, between Seventh and Eighth streets, a
plate exposed on a windy day before the street was cleaned gave 320 separate
colonies of bacteria. These were not necessarily of a harmful nature. After
the atreet had been cleaned, another exposure of a bacteria-culture plate at
the same spot revealed only 120 colonies.
FACTS ABOUT AFRICA
trypanosomiasis; by the yet more for-
midable name of sloeping sickness in
Iho vulgar tongue. The chief things
known of It, beyond its hideous symp-
toms, are that it Is infectious; that It
le invariably fatal; and that Its geo-
graphical distribution corresponds
with that of a tsetse fly.
European victims have thus far been
few; their prejudice against native
nakedness no doubt amounts lo de-
fensive armor against the assaults of
the plague-laden foe. But why should
there have been such a wholesade in-
crease of tho pestilence In recent
yearB—why should ItB extent be ceas-
ing to be limited by the regular hab-
itat of the fly?
It Is a lamentable fact, hut cannot
be gainsaid, that civilization must be
held responsible In no small degree
for the spread of sleeping sickness
during the last few years. In the old
dnys. when every tribe nnd almost
every village was self-sufficient, and
had no Intercourse with its neighbors,
except In the way of warfare, It might
very well happen that the disease be-
camo 'ecnllzed in a few districts,
where its virulence became dimin-
ished.
Nowadays, with the rapid opening
up of the country, the constant pas-
suge of Europeans traveling from one
district to another, and tho suppres-
sion of native warfare, it is becoming
Increasingly easy for natives to movq
beyond the limits of their own coun-
tries, and by their means sleeping

tho country to another. And the out-
look at the present time is at the best
u gloomy one.
Washington.—Immunization against
typhoid in army camps by vaccination
is to be undertaken by the military
authorities.
The wnole matter is to be frankly
put before the army, and Individuals
are to be Invited to volunteer for vac-
cination. No soldier or officer will be
compelled to submit to anti typhoid
vaccination against his will, hut an
effort will be made by lectures and ex-
amplea to show the soldier the advan-
tage of availing himself of such a sim-
ple and easy way of escaping one of
the worst and most dreaded of army
camp diseases. These measures are
to he taken as a result of the recom-
mendations of the board of eminent
physicians appointed to consider
measures for preventing typhoid fever
in army camps. It was named at the
Instance of Brig. Gen. Robert M.
O'Reilly, then surgeon general of the
army, and included In its membership
were Drs. Victor C. Vaughan of Ann
Arbor, William T. Councilman of Bos-
ton, John H. Musser of Philadelphia,
Alexander Lambert of New York,
Simon Flexner of New York, and Wil-
liam S. Thayer of Baltimore.
A summary of the board’s oncluslons
were made public recently. Thin
points out the well-known fact that
both during the civil and the Spanish-
Amerlcan wars typhoid fever prevailed
to a great extent among the troops,
especially among the younger men in
regiments recently recruited. Old sol-
diers were not often affected, and as
regiments learned how to take care of
themselves the disease tended to di-
minish.
in t.mes of peace when the army
Is stationed at Its various garrison
postH throughout the country, the re-
port says, there Is less than half as
much typhoid among soldiers as is
found among that part of the civil pop-
ulation of military age. But, unfor-
tunately, the moment the troops go
Into camps and large numbers of new
and untrained men are recruited and
mobilized the conditions change for
the worse.
It has long been recognized, says
Iho report, that a person who has
onco had tho typhoid Is practically In-
sured against a second attack and the
medical profession has now found in
anti-typhoid vaccination a simple and
harmless way of artificially inducing
almost this same amount of protec-
tion. In the last few years 15.000 men
have been treated in this way with ex-
cellent effect and without a single un-
toward result.

The situation was almost ludicrous to
Allan himself to be hemmed in on the

Knee from Corpee le Successfully
Grafted on Living 8ufferer.
Washington.—Doctors it the George-
town university hospital witnessed a
remarkable operation performed there
several days ago by Dr. George Tally
Vaughan of this city on George A.
Kelly, aged 29. The bones of Kelly’s
knees were so badly diseased that Dr
Vaughan decided on amputation.
In tho hospital was a man about to
die. Dr. Vaughan obtained permission
from the dying patient's family to
remove tho left le*, in the event ol
death, and it was decided that the
knee of the dead man should be graft-
ed to the leg of the living Bttfferer.
The transfer was duly made. The
bones wore riveted together by slen-
der, strong wire and the most delicate
phase of tho operation, that of Joining
the ligaments, caused the surgeons to
work as they probably never labored

Needs Dilution,
Various are the reasons for a man's
sentimentality, and wlso Is the maid
who swallows all he saye with just
a grain of ealL
'ng. It was subtllely familiar. Editha!
I Gilbert was such a miserable joker.
I Mian pushed hack his hat just In
time to see a girl, perfectly strange to
| him, turn her laughing eyes aw^iy. He
i had but a moment to notice that she
was very nice to look at; and then
confusion overcame him. The uncom-
fortable sensation that his ears were
glowing brightly possessed Allan. If
she would only speak and let him ex-
plain!
As If in answer to his despairing
thoughts, the girl said gravely, with
exaggerated penitence in her voice:
"There was no other seat, or I
should not have disturbed you.”
"Oh, you did not," Allan began
eagerly. "You see, at first I thought
you were a country woman, so—”
A nterry laugh cut him'short.
"That was not what I thought,
either," lie essayed again, desperately,
to find his companion was leaning to-
ward the window at his side, waving
gayly to some one on the galloping em-
bankment outside.
"Now, then," the girl said as she
dropped hack against the cushions,
"do go on. How seldom Is II that one
gets the benefit of a person's first Im-
pression! You thought I was a coun-
try woman,” encouragingly, "but,
now—”
"I don’t think at all. In fact, 1 doubt
that I ever really did." he burst out
hopelessly.
"It may he unseemly to confide fam-
ily affairs of strangers," she said with a
charming air of hesitation, “hut 1 must
tell you that my sister offered me—
well, a good deal more than it cost for
this dress.”
"She has good taste," he was warm-
ly assured.
"If you will listen to my explana-
tion.” Allan protested.
"My meekest attention is yourR. Be-
ing called ‘country’ has crushed a nat-
urally high spirit.”
"When I am finished you will see
that no thought of you—”
The girl flashed her gray eyes into
his. "Have I assumed undue airs of
Importance?" she demanded with
ntock seriousness, shrugging her shout-
derB tcasingly.
Allan laughed; and then mimicked
deliberately;
"It may be hard to believe, and un
seemly to confide such personal af-
fairs to a stranger, but I must tell you
that there have been lots of folks who
have puld me—well, a great deal more
than It was worth, to defend their per-
son and property.”
"Youra Is a growing fame, indeed,
if you are as successful in squelching
your clients' opponents as your chance
companions."
"I seem to do a little better for iny
clients than myself," he admitted mod-
estly.
“Since you are competent to give le-
gal advice, according to your own
statement, if you will help me, I’ll over-
look your calling me 'country.’ "
Meanwhile an Idea, hitherto foreign
to him, wm revolving in Allan s mind;
self out of trouble?”
"You were never In ;»ny." she laughed.
"Don't you know if I'd thought
you really took nte for a country worn
an 1 should never have spoken to
you. When I sat down here I imag-
ined that you were unused to girls, ami
so was slllj- enough to resolve to tease
you. I am just ashamed," she con-
fessed remorsefully.
"You are the first young lady I've
talked with since—in a long time; so I
you can trust your intuitions further." \
How do you know that I’m not a
bothered widow or a married lady j
seeking a divorce?" The merry glint |
shone again in her eyes.
Allau waited unsmiliugly.
"Well, I've felt safe—that is in a \
way,” she continued. "You see I have
a friend, a very dear one, who insists
upon marrying me off to her husband's
chum.”
"Happy fellow!” Allan ' hoped that
the relief he felt was not voiced too j
plainly In his tone.
"1 hate him!”
"Is he so bad as all thut?’
"I've never seen hitn, nor even his
picture. That dislike of the camera is '
the only redeeming trait tjtat I can
imagine his possessing. My friend," I
she went on, "has been married so
short a time that the illusion still
forms a haze about her; and if some-
thing isn't done a very sweet woman
is going to be spoiled. Isn't there
some kind of writ—is that what It's
called?—which I can have served op
her to bring her to a normal state, and
relieve her suffering girl friends?" she
asked smiling—smiling sweetly, Allan
thought.
"Just now I can think of none;
hut rest assured that I shall consult '
the best authorities. It' 1 am unable,
after some time, to find warrant for j
any such act. perhaps 1 can suggest a i
satisfactory arrangement, one, at any j
rale, that will give her solicitude an- 1
other direction."
"If j'oti will, 1 shall be ever in your
debt.” She missed Allan's quizzical
smile. “There the conductor has j
called my station!"
As she prepared to leave the train !
pulled past the depot to the water-
tank. "Why, there is Editha,” the girl j
cried. “She telephoned that she was i
not well."
Allan looked over the girl’s head j
into the fast-gathering dusk outside. |
"This is mine, too, I see,” he said |
gladly. “Well, now what do you think
of that! I wish you’d notice Gilbert |
Ainsley out tli^re; and he suffering |
too much to leave the house this morn- :
ing!”
Allan hud risen and was taking pos-
session of her satchel as If he had not
heard her exclamation.
The girl faced him accusingly; “I do
believe you are Allan Davis yourself!”
Their fellow passengers were too busy
peering out in the twilight, or else dis-
gorging themselves front the crowded :
car, to notice (he little scene that was
being enacted.
"Yes,” the man assented wondering
ly; then a smile of comprehension
broke over his fai 5.
"You are—”
"I am," she Interrupted scorchingly; ;
"why couldn’t you have slept sound- !
er!" But the contagion of her co- |
victim's amusement could not be re- I
slsted, and the girl burst into a j
merry laugh.
"They will be charmed with them- '
selves," she whispered confidently,
between their gales of mirth. “Do
please, let's not gratify them,” she 1
pleaded.
For a moment he hesitated, a joy- '
ful light in the eyes that swept her :
flushed, entreating countenance, then !
he acquiesced.
Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Ainsley had i
reluctantly but silently decided that ;
an expected guest had failed them, !
and were about lo drive away with the '
one who had arrived when they dis-
covered Allan Davis making his way
hurriedly toward them. "The train
was so packed," he explained breath-
lessly, throwing In his bag and mount- |
ing the back Seat with the disap-
pointed hostess, who occupied It
alone. “I had to ride the whole way
ou the back platform of the rear car—”
When Mr. Ainsley took it upon him-
self to leave one guest to assist the
other, and handed his wife from the
car. he also look it upon himself to
console her:
"Perhaps, after all,” he observed |
tentatively, "they were not Intended
for each other.”
"Perhaps," she answered.

Sicily’s Wheat and Fruits.
Sicily was the "granary of Rome" In
former days. Wheat grows to an enor-
mous height, and the ears seldom con-
tain less than 60 grains. The rice Is
the finest on earth. I buy It at ten
cents a pound to make that famous
dish—"rlso el buterro e fromaglo.”
No other rice answers the purpose.
The most bountiful crops of Ger-
niauy and France, of England nnd
Austria-Hungary, present to the Sicil-
ian the image of sterility. A Sicilian
watermelon is a dream. It was the
original nectar of the gods. No Geor-
gia rattlesnake variety is in its class.
Indian figs and aloes are wonderful,
the former serving as food for the
IKior. The pomegranate reaches its
highest perfection along the southern
coast, and is shipped to all parts of
the world under the name of "punica,”
In honor of the Punic war; It was
brought from Cnrihage Into Italy by
the Romans.—New York Press.
