San Diego, Cal., is said to be the first American city to take up scien? tific forestry as a municipal enter? prise. The city owns 7,000 acres of waste land, a heritage from the time when it was a Mexican pueblo. This tract Is now set aside for grow? ing eucalypti, and last sptlng 40,000 seedlings were planted. Eucalyptus is very valuable and takes the place of many of the more familiar hardwoods that are becoming so expensive; it grows with truly trop? ical rapidity; it will stand an enor? mous amount of cutting and seems to thrive under it, and a grove once well started apparently will last forever. In San Diego, says the Survey, the more optimistic taxpayers are looking forward to a time when the forest will relieve them of all taxes and perhaps even pay them for being citiaens of San Diego! They are not the only people In an American city to be con? gratulated on doing good municipal business. July 6, 1911, the Detroit house of correction passed its fiftieth milestone. During the last 32 years over $1,000, 000 in profits were turned over to the city of Detroit to the families of pris? oners and to the prisoners themselves. Since 1880 the city of Detroit has an? nually received sums ranging from $9,016.83 to $52,711.64. The original expenditure by the city of $189,841.36 has been turned back into the treasury of the municipality, the institution has paid its own way and in the 50 years show a fine bal? ance of $1,254,178.15. In addition to this showing, the prisoners since July, 1901, have been receiving financial benefits ranging from $5,958.14 to $9, 670.38 annually. In addition to amounts paid the pris? oners, some of which are sent by the men to their families, provision is also made for the families of those who are imprisoned on the charge of aban? donment. This is accomplished under a statute which provides that $1.50 a week for the wife and an additional 60 cents for each child under 15 years of age be paid them out of the funds of the institution. GOOD LESSON FROM GERMANY There Municipalities Exercise Mild Form of Despotism Over the Ownere of Property. A common exercise of the individ? ual fancy is to decide with a wealth of detail what one would do if one had, say, $10,000,000, declares the New York Tribune. The movement for "cties beautiful" which the public hears of every now and then resem? bles this pastime. When Chicago, Pittsburgh, Boston, or whatever city It may be, considers becoming Chi? cago Beautiful or Pittsburgh Beauti? ful or Boston Beautiful it is making up its mind what it would do if it had $100,000,000. There is even a profession of telling cities what they might do if they had $100,000,000, and the experts are kept fairly busy about ft The Tribune hopes that Brooklyn, the latest to consult one of these ex? perts, will have millions enough to make her as beautiful as she wishes to become. This consulting about what might be done to make Ameri? can cities more presentable Is a good sign in itself. The public Is not so content as formerly to trust their de? velopment to haphazard. Its result has been bad in respect of beauty, of health and even of business economy. But In determining their own future development American cities are sad? ly behind those of Europe, where, especially in Germany, municipalities exercise a sort of benevolent despot? ism over the uses to which the Indi? vidual property owner may put his property. Oversea Invasion. If it takes 35,000 troops almost three weeks to carry out an oversea attack, with no opposition whatever, how long would 200,000 or even 70,000, take in the face of some very dangerous opposi? tion, even if the bulk of the defending fleet is out of the way? Our coastal torpedo flotillas are always on the spot. As far as the events of this (Italian) war afford an indication, we should incur no undue risk if we dis? patched our battle fleets in the Cape of Good Hope or Indian ocean, except to our trade routes near home waters.
