BUSINESS COLLEGE, Macon, flt Forrestry a Coming Profession. Forestry is one of the coming professions, according to all accounts, says the American Cultivator. Many of the States are just beginning to got fairly awake to the need of skilled care of their forest resources, and are hiring foresters and assistants at from $1,200 to $2,400 a year. During the past year about seven members of the force employed by the Government Bureau of Forestry have left their positions to take up work with private timber owners, and four others have accepted public positions m foresters for States and Canadian provinces. The demand seems to exceed the supply, as only a limited number can be trained in the Bureau of Forestry and through college courses in forestry. MODRST YOUNG MATDEN.

Oyslcr Bay, L. I., Special.?President Roosevelt has made public the report of the Keep commission on its recent investigation of affairs in the Government Printing Office at Washington. The inquiry was made by special direction of the President on account of a pretest which lie had received from a protest whiohhehad received from officials of the Mcrgenthaler Typesetting Machine Company against the award of a contract by Public Printer Frank W. Palmer to the Lanston Monotype Company tor 1'2 machines of its make. The President decided, after an examination of the Keep report, that the contract for the Lanston machines should stand. The Keep commission reported that if the contract could he set aside, "such a course would be advisable," although the commission states expressly that "no corrupt consideration, payment or promise passed from the Lanston Monotype Company to tlie public printer or to any person in the government service." It was developed by the investigation. however, that two important assistants of the public printed were indirectly Interested in the Laston Company, "their wives being stockholders therein." The commission shows that a fair and impartial test of the Lanston and Mergenthaler machines was not made, and reports that the purchase of so large a number of Lanston machines wns "improvident" and indicated "great partiality and bias on tlm nnrt ?f public printer." The commission regards the purchase as "maladministration." The text, of the President's memorandum upon the report follows: "Oyster Bay, Sept. 9. 1905. "The conclusion of the committee are hereby approved. save the latter part Of conclusion first. It does not appear that there is any question as to the validity of the contract in question. If it had not been for the conduct of the Mergenthaler Company in preferring the charge discussed by the committee in conclusion two, that of corruption. 1 should agree with the committee that it would be desirable to set aside the contract, if such course were legal. But second only to corruption in a public office in point of inquiry, comes making a baseless charge of corruption, and this is what the committee finds the Marganthaler Company has done in this case, its comments being in part: " 'In the light of the failure of the company to produce evidence of such corruption, it must be held that the charge was made recklessly and the Mergenthaler Company should be severely condemned for including such a charge in a formal communication to the president of the United States made as a basis for official action on his part. It is fair also to the Bans ton Monetype Company to say that no evidence was produced by the Mergenthaler Company, nor was any obtained by the committee in the course of its hearing, tending to show any promise, payment or consideration of any kin;l whatsoever made by the l.anston Company. or any of its officers or agents to any person in the government se: vice." "Had not this charge of corruptio been made i should have ontirel agreed with the conclusion of the con mittee that if it were possible twhic it is not) it would be desirable to cat eel the contract in question. "Public Printer Palmer lias been r> moved from office. The cases of ti f iuoKiuiaics auuued to in the repo must be taken up in connection wi the discipline and re-organization the bureau when Mr. Palmer's su cess or assumes office. THRODROHK ROOSEVELT.

Cases under treatment, 29C.; discharged, 1/177. ^ The unfavorable part of the Sunday report is the unusually large number of deaths. Another distinguished member of the Roman Catholic clergy is in the list. Father 1,. 12. Green, of the Jesuit College, lie died at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon, after being iil caetly a week. He was struck with a chill last Sunday just after delivering a lecture, but nothing was thought of it. The next day he visited a room in the college which had been screened and made ready for emergencies in accordance with the suggestion of Dr. White, and jokingly remarked to one of his colleagues that they had the room ready now and only needed the first patient. A few hours later he was the occupant, lie was later transferred to the Hotel Dicu. He suffered from other complications which caused the fatal ending. He was 28 years of age and a native of England. He had been here about two years and was a teacher in the branch school conducted by the Jesuits on St. Philip street. There was not a single Italian name among the other deaths. One occurred in the Emergency Hospital, one in Algiers and one in the French Asylum, on St. Ann street. Since the Marine Hospital Service has been in charge, the officers have discovered 57 foci infections, which has hern of some standing and were unknwon except through the secondary infection. The district officers have been especially diligent in thus tracing up infection and this has been the means of checking what threatened to be serious ne3ts in different neigiiberhoods. 19 MEN BLOWN TO SHREDS.

A gentleman who has acquired n Judicial turn of mind from experience on the bench out in the Sunflower Stnte, writes a carefully considered opinion as to the value of CIrape-Nuts as food, lie says: "For the past Ave years Grape-Nuts has been a prominent feature in our hill of fare. "The crisp food with the delicious. 1 nutty flavor lias become an indispensable necessity in rny family's everyday life. "It has proved to be most healthful and beneficial, and has enabled us to practically abolish pastry and pies from our table, for the children prefer Grape-Nuts and do not crave rich and unwholesome food.

The natural forces attending the formation of diamonds seem to have been more complicated, and so far the diamonds resulting from the efforts of the scientists have been very small, but still the.v are positively identified as the carbon crystal-the diamond. They are remarkably clear and bright, and on a small scale as line specimens as nature's own product. The electric furnace has enriched chemistry with a whole series of new compounds. Probably the one of most value to mankind at large is Calcium Carbide. The simple application of water to Calcium Carbide generates the gas Acetylene, whieli is now being commonly used for lighting. The peculiar merits of Acetylene light are its brilliance and high candle power, ease of installation, economy and its adaptability for lighting buildings of every description, regardless of their location.
