Washington.
v There is a piece of wood from the
birthplaoc of Napoleon, tm ths Island of
Corsica, and one from Napoleon's writing

able and acoustonei to doerery
thing a tailor does, esoept going aloft.
But going aloft is an obsolete predion
on a modern war reteel, which carries
no eaile, baring only one mast, called the
"military mast," with two tops, wbeao? ,
rapid-firing guns are designed to hurl n
shower of projoctiios against tho ene ny.

Only a few tailort arc really

defense are best minnod wholly by tot
soldiera. The Naval Ileservo now bolog
organised and trained as a.nortol
ocean militia, la really a body of m irlnos
though the men composing It are dressoJ
in sailors' clothes.
Tne idea which thoy represent Is not
at all an economical one, inas nuch as
they get teamen's wi<os. O Idly enough,
the psy of tailori is noarly twice what
marines roosive. A. marine is alio we i
only $13 a month during his tlrst term of
enlistment, whereas a son n in gots $Jl a
month, and even a lubberly land sin m on
t vessel it worth $15. The reason for
this difference is simply th it sailors are
difficult to got and to koep, so that their
vaiuo is higher in the inirkot.
Thu?, it is readily noon that a groat
saving would bo made by reducing the
number of teamou In tho N ivy an I increasing
the forco of inirinoi.
Experts are of tho opinion that a warihip's
complement of men should bs not
loss than throe-fourths mnrinos. It is

Mr. Sous*, who has mado his reputation
as leader of this mnsicil or'iiiai
:lou, was himself a child of the Mirine
Bind. Hit father was a membor of it,
and he himself was trained in it as a
iranll boy. Twonty-fivo dru umeri an I
buglors temporarily attached to the bind
ire always in training at the barracks
here. They are boys enlistod at the ago
jt fourteen to sixteen, and they serve by
snlistmont up to twouty-ono, when they
ire assigned to ships. It is their duty
in the servlco to sound tho calls to
piartors in the morning, for hoisting or
pulling down the dags, etc., whether on
shore or on board.
During the cholora scare of last summer
the marines encamped at Sandy
Hook kept guard over the poople who
were landed from tho infoctod vo3.sols
and prevented them from getting away
to spread the plague. Fifty of them
wore sent fro n Washington. Within
forty minutes from tho receipt of a telogram
calling for them they had startod
by train from the Navy Yard. During
the frightful hurricauo at Samoa, which
cost tho United Statos Navy so deir,
United Statos marines took charge of
th? town of Apia and held control there
until all danger of trouble between the
Germans and Americans was over.

Statistics gathered from trustworthy

tell us that the United States baa about ?
1,200,000.000,000 feet, board measure, of
tandlug lumber, with a present annual J(
Consumption of about 10,000,000 feet ^
board measurement. This means, says
the Engineering News, nn apparent supply
for 120 years; but the rapidly in- hl
creasing demand for timber may easily F
reduce this period to a century, and possibly
exhaust it in seventy-flvo years. It G
,1s true that Alaska is credited, on very rt
little information, with 60,000,000,000 ^
feet, board measurement, of standing
lumber, and British Columbia with
1,000,000,000.000 feet more; but these
are certainly not to b<: assumed as home 'e
supplies. The Lumberman gives the '

In the above list tho thrco Htntcs of ^
Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota arc
elsewhere said to liavc cut, in 18)2, L
nearly 9,000,000,000 feet, board measure, f<
or over l l per cent, of the nggregato F
ainouut of sluudiug timber of these State', *
as given in the above list. The State of
Michigan alone is credited with an out p
put, for 1892, of nearly JI,H) ),000,< 0? *
feet, board measure, or over l.'r per cent,
of her standing timber. *
While these figures of annual produe a
tiou may be taken as indicating enter- ^
prise on the part of timber cutters, the si
ipicstiou naturally arises as to what the is
people of a century to come are going to T
do for lumber. Cheaper and moro rapid
means of transportation may enable them to
go further for their supply; but it M
would scent wiser for the present genera- ^
tion of Americans to pay more serious
attention to the subject of forest planting
and preservation; and in this way
gain somewhat from the experience and 1
practice of older nations. This action *
was long ago forced on the people
of Kuropu, by tho waste and
carelessness of their predecessors; and
it is hardly in accordance with ni
modern methods for us to wait till- b
til wo are compcllc 1 by similar causes to al
adopt a similar course, witlt all its at- tl
tcndant disadvantages and a short and E
costly supply. Forests limy he made to tj
disappear into the maw of saw-mills at 0
the rate of thousands of acres per year, .,
hut it takes many years to replace this
loss; and one serious forest lire, of a few
weeks may cancel nature's elTort.s of a
century in tree production.
The whole subject of timber nrcserva- J*
tion is one of time, as much as it is one '
of money; and the subject cannot he "
taken up too seriously by the people and
(.1 overiimcnt of the United States. Some E
halting action has already been taken by B
t'ongress, and the President is now t<
authorized to set aside certain parts of
the public domain as forest preserves, si
Hut more active work still is needed, in g
the gathering and dissemination of use- 2
ful and much needed statistics on this q
head of present supply and present con- u
sumption ami waste. It is true that we Q
have a Forestry Hurcau as an adjunct to ^
our Department of Agriculture; but
judging from the difficulty it has in sc- 0
curing from Congress the paltry sum of a
$10,0(10 for the continuation of exceedi
11 g I y interesting and commercially val
liable timber tests, our lawmakers yet
fail to appreciate the true pur|H>sc and h
value of such a department. Hy a more u
liberal policy its scope of action and s
general usefulness might be very much ft
increased, and it was with such a career 1
in view that the department was origin- 0
ally created. n
\Vo have here only treated of the value j,
of timber in its industrial sense; but it
has been proved beyond controversy that ?
forests arc ibsolutelv necessarv as a con
V -J J [
server of water supply, mm for this purposo
their preservation or cultivation is "
even more generally necessary than when
the timher is to he converted into build- a,
iiiys and fences, or used us fuel. Aside *
from the question of first cost, it would w
he better for the safety of nronertv nnrl a
life if timher were less used in out
houses, and the suhstitutcs for timher in fl
construction are becoming constantly a
cheaper. Hut water wc must liiivo f?I- c
ways, and no suhstitutc for it has ever b
been suggested. The destruction ol u
timher in many parts of Kuropc has alto- ^
gcthcr changed the hahitablc condition?
of great areas of territory by reducing g|
tho rainfall and the storage for rainfall always
provided by dense forests; and the
nrid regions of our own country 6how w
evidences of having been, in part at least, 141
once covered by timher, long ago dc- P
stroyed by tire or other agencies. Tim- ^
herless areas permit the rapid evaporation
or escape in surface streams of the
water that falls upon them; arc more
subject to defective windstorms, and are
generally less pleasing and inviting a? 1?
sites for habitation. We have enough o)
territory of this description now in the jt
I'nited States, and whatever the Government
can reasonably do to prevent any
marked increase in its area should bo 11
done, and done promptly and with vigor

researches ia tha field. In bb re*
oeat report oa the Peebody Museum,
Profesaor Putnam giree a summary of
tha results of the work that haa oorered
a more extensive field of tha anthropological
reeearch tha a ?m erer oorered before
la two year*.
Professor Putnam mention* first
among tha results, tha oollactions
brought back by Lieutenant Peary from
tha little tribs of Eskimos in the Wbala
Sound region of Greenland. member
ol the party la about to go to Chicago
fronc this city for the purpose of arranging
tha oslleotlons which will represent
Lie itauaut Peary's work at the big Pair.
The specimens include summer houses of
skins, Kikimo boats, sledges, weapons,
implements, utensils, ornament*, full
eta of their garments, earrings in lrorv,
and also sereral hundred photographs
of indivlduals of the tribe and scenes illustrating
their daily life. There will
also be a complete oonsus of the tribe,
sereral orania, and a full set of anthropological
measurements and observation.
Tao World's Fair is also to hare the
benolt of an Eskimo settlement. The
Skiles ezpoiition to Labrador brought
bao'c rtfty-sovon nsti7es of that country,
who will occupy an Eskimo village on
the Fair grounds with all thoir belongings
until the Fair is or jr.
Dsctor Sheldon Jackson has been
miking large ethn slogtcal collection in
Alaska, nnJ among tho coast tribji of
Siberia, au l Mr. Cherry has made a long
journey up tho Yukon Valley to collect
specimens illus trating tho life and handiwork
of tho Yukon tribes. Seven othor
assistants have bean forming collections

The interior tribes of Canada will all
have living ropreseutativj* on tho Fair
grounds by permission of the Canadian
Commissioner of Oinalian AH airs. T.ie
Oanaiian Fair Co nm'usiou has exortoi
itself to secure an oxcellont representation
of the archie >lo gy of Canada.

of this Stato have assisted
Professor Putnam to socuro a large archie

of tho Ir>*quois tribos.
Families fro n thoio tribes will live on
tho Expnsitssn grounds in baric houses,

Many of tho most interesting an<l
fruitful researches hive boou mile iu
the Latin American ltopublici south of
the Uuitol State?. A number of offijors
?f tho army ail navy were detailed to
fcrouso tho interoit of thoso Kopublici iu
the Exposition, au<l also to make collections
inetanology a id acc'i? >logy. Thoy
took with them full instruction) fron
Professor Putnam as to tho m inner of
colleotiag and tho results have bc.'n
spleudid. Thoy liavo secured many exhibits
from native peoples of Central aud
South America.
A good ininy interesting things e)S>
noctod with tho period of Cortes have
Ixoou found iu Mexico aud will bo aeon at
the Fair. Tho ancient ruins of Yucatan
have been specially explored by Consul
E. H. Thompson. lie made about It),Odd

these moulds, aud thoro will bu soon 04

theso elaborately carved stone structures
of Yucatan, over aud around which
will be the tropical plants native to the
region of tue ruins.
An expedition was sent to Tlonduras
to study tho ancient ruins of Copan, and
though tiio work ins not been conpletud,
many interesting and important
objects, illustrating wonderful carvings
in stoue, frugal mt* if pottery, numerous
ornaments of stone, shells and bono,
?hnnn i rr? rtln npnfa uml ar\ t\r% liaira Knen
secured. Further south G. A. Doraey
m ule extensive exploration in Ecuador,
Peru and Bolivia, where he collectod a
largo amount of this mitorial. Lioutonants
Sagord and Welles secure I rainy
series of garments, weapons and other
objects illustrating the tribes of parts of
the interior of South America. Even
Patagonia aud Tierra del Fuego have
boon drawn upon for callectiois.
In the United States the archn alogical
work of the past two yosra will be fully
reprosontei. Ancient village sites, burial
places, and workshops or quarries have
been brought to light in the Delawaro
Valley and cirefully studied. Similar
fruitful researches have bsen made on
Capo Cod, iu Connecticut, along tho Androscoggin,
and in many other places.
Two siugular burial places were found
iu tho Androscoggin Valley, iu which
the graves were so old that the skeletons
had entirely disappeared, leivinar in the
gravos only mosses of red ochre and implements
and other objects of stone.
D ictor Franz Boas and his assistants
have prepared a presentation of the physical
characteristics of tho native American
peoples. Measurements have also been
taken and observations made of more
than 50,000 children in the public schools
of the United Statos and Canada, as well
as in tue iudiau schools and of many
colored children. The co-operation of tho
authorities in Jnpauese aud Hawaiian
schools was also secured, and we thus
have tho measurements of Japnuoso a id
Kanaka children for comparison.
Tncre is no doubt that tho ethnological
foatures of tho World's Fair will bj
among tho most interesting exhibits.
No euch collections illustrative of the
life and customs of proliistoric and uncultured
peoples has ever before bee i
made in any international exhibition, ?
