The Forester and the Lumberman By GIFFORD PINCHOT, PoitMre I'uited Males Daparltnent of Agriculture. Ip, oUI idea that the forester was the enemy of the S |j lumherman, and. above all, the enemy of cutting I timber, disappeared long ago from the minds of |f foresters, or rather friends of forestry—for no .Jrak. I true forester ever held it—and is rapidly dis:ip pearing from the minds of lumbermen. And that B S ' s P cl 'haps the happiest aspect of the whole situa- B tion, for the perpetuation alike of the industry and of forestry depends upon their attitude toward this single question: Do they or do they not intend to get a second crop? I am very far from wanting to discuss the supplies of standing timber or the prospect of a timber famine —questions with which the lumbermen are more familiar than I am; but it is perfectly obvious that tlie supplies of certain kinds of timber are rapidly disappearing, that the lumber trade is falling back year by year on poorer material and longer hauls, and that the question of its continuance is already de manding an answer. This is purely a business proposition, to be considered, accepted, or rejected 011 a business basis. Forestry deals with the forest in some ways with which the lumbermen have but an indirect interest. I am not talking now about the effect of forests on the flow of streams, on winds, or 011 the general prosperity—matters of vital importance in their places; but the question I want to bring is simply this: Is it worth the lumbermen's while, from a commercial point of view, to consider the forest as a part of their plant, and from that point of view should they cut off their timber and let the land go back for taxes? ( The bureau of forestry offers certain assistance to lumbermen .n preparing the basis upon which such questions can be most intelli gently decided. What it does is simply to put a certain amount of trained skill at their command. They pay the expense and we prepare for them the necessary figures. The way we do it is to send a man to the spot who finds out what there is on the ground, with special reference to the smaller sizes—how fast each diameter class of trees grows, how much will be left of certain sizes after cutting out others, and how much will be standing to the acre after a definite number of years. We put the thing purely and entirely on a business basis. These methods of forestry are not at present as fully applicable everywhere in the United States as they will be later on, and it is as far from me as possible to want to urge any man to adopt the methods of forestry unless they are going to pay. The arrangement we make with timber owners is never that they shall be compelled to apply the plans we submit, but always that they shall apply them or not as they find it wisest to do. I would be exceedingly sorry if any man should take up a proposition in forestry and apply it if he was not confident it would turn out well, because this is not a question of a few days or merely for present conditions. There has been too long a feeling that the foresters were trying to force the lumbermen to do something or other against the lumbermen's will. I think it is time for the lumbermen to give the bureau of forestry a chance to do some things which they would like to have it do. Cruelty an Indian Characteristic By GEN. ANDREW A. BURT, U. S. A. mT.L that the United States authorities and the various societies of the country have done and arc doing toward the civiliza 3k. tion of the redmen of the plains cannot and does not take from i'.r the Indian that cruelty in his composition. Ie cruelt y die Indian is inexplicable except on the hypothesis.that cruelty is a normal trait of humanity. Wild beasts are not cruel; for. although the wolf may tear and devour the entrails of a deer while the animal is vet alive, he does it from greediness alone. The members of the cat family play with and torment their victims, but they undoubt edly do this as practice in catching. Besides, if we are to believe the men who have been in the jaws of these animals, nature has kindly com pensated this exceptional apparent cruelty by inflicting on the victims of the feline race a nervous paralysis which not only deprives them of any sense of pain but pervents a realization of the horror of their position. The cruelty of the Indian is inborn and inbred, and it clings to him through life as a distinguishing characteristic of his humanity. As a boy his special delight is the torture of every bird cr animal he can get hold of alive. As a man the torture of a human being gives him more pleasure than any other act of his life, and at 110 time is his laughter so joyous and heartfelt as when some special ingenuity wrings a groan or cry oi anguish. Shortening the By PRESIDENT ELIOT, of Harvard University. iIE question of a three instead of a four-year course 1 I for the degree of A. 1!. has arisen. Tf s<jch degree in H R arts or science is to I".* required ior admission to um | A J versity professional schools, the road to such degree should be as smooth and broad as possible. It is the inU ' nt of society and the interest of the individual t ' !at . voun £ nicn should be enabled to enter, well trained, upon the practice of a profession by the time they arc 25 years old. and it follows, therefore, that the period of train ing preliminary or preparatory to professional training should come to its end by the time the young men are 21 years old. The principle on which tin- Harvard faculty has acted is this: They propose, in reducing the time required for the A. B. degree to three years, to make 110 reduction whatever in the amount of work re quired for the A. I>. degree. In other words, they propose that the tl< ;r« of A. 15., taken in three years, shall represent the same amount of attainment or power acquired, which the A ii. taken in four vears lia; heretofore represented.

AUGUST 13 1903 THE AMKULANCK CAR] useful New Feature in German Railway Equipment. Wrrrka Along Any Part of Govern ment l.iiien t'nn He ItenolifMl in 4B Mlnulra-ltrllrf Trn «■ at 77 Station*. There may be more luxurious and faster trains in the United States, but Germany leads the American railways in one particular—a perfect ambulance system, by which quick relief can be afforded to the injured in disasters on the rail. In a report submitted by the minister of public works it is shown that the or ganization of the ambulance service, es tablished upon the recommendation of Emperor William on all German gov ernmental railroad lines, has been com pleted. Relief trains are now in instant readiness at 77 stations, so situated that any place where a serious accident may occur can be reached by an ambulance train within 45 minutes. They possess the highest speed possible and have the right of way along every line. The trains consist of a physician's car a wrecking car of the type that has been in use for many years, and coaches for the transportation of assistants and the accommodation of the wounded. The physicians' ears have only two axles and double doors at. the front sides. They are equipped with a West inghouse brake, steimheating appara tus and two gasometers, so that enough light may be secured and the car heat ed by gas, in case the engine is de tached from the car. To facilitate the , receiving of the stretchers the platform railings are hinged and a sort of step ladder is added. The interior of the car is divided into a small compartment for the use of the physician and a larger one for the re ception of the patients. The latter room can be divided by a curtain, so ihat | male and female patients can be accom- j GIiU.MAN AMBULANCE CAR. (Interior View, Showing Arrangement of , Cota and Chairs.) modated at the same time. There are j large windows and a skylight of wire glass in the physician's room, an oper ating table, an apparatus for the heat ing of water, a closet for bandages and instruments, a refrigerator and a large assortment of surgical instruments. The folding and adjustable operating table has detachable cushions, and both lable and cushion are covered with wa terproof leather cloth. The water heat er, a few seconds after the gas is light ed, furnishes a continuous streajn of warm water. Distilled water is in the water box of the heater, in several cans and a special barrel containing 20 gal lons. In the patients' room there are two lower and two upper beds on every side, each bed consisting of a stretcher with a mattress and head rest, two woolen quilts with linen covers and linensheets. In order to allow the patient to raise himself, braided straps hang on the walls and from the ceiling of the car. in addition to the beds two chairs are in the car for those whose injuries are slight, so that at least ten patients can be accommodated in the physicians' car. The stretchers are made from ma plewood, strengthened with handirons, turned at the ends into handles, so that they may also serve for putting the stretcher upon the frames in the car. The frames are arranged with springs and rolls, so that, the wounded will not even have to suffer by the vibration of the cars. The physicians, officers and assistants of the ambulance trains must be ready for work at a moment's notice and it is the duty of a special officer to see that the cars and their equipments are al ways ready for use. When an accident occurs the conduc tor of a train or another train man sends word to the nearest flagman, in whose booth there is a telephone. Ar rows painted upon telegraph poles along the line indicate the location of the booths, which are marked with a T (telegraph), from where the message may be sent to the next station. As soon as the character of the accident has been learned the physicians and as sistants are called, fresh water secured and r< freshments taken aboard for pa tients as well as for the crew. Warm clothing is taken along also. In the meantime the time table has been fixed so that the line is clear for the relief train, and if the accident is of a more serious charaettr two or more are or dered from the next station. The ar ran? intents are so perfect that the am bulances succeed lii getting away in a short time. Ii! jili t ln*r in OrtDN I Ih l.onix.

('■liine It fill tie nr*e lloilt by n ft# •oarreful Miner Inn Tretlf*» Town. Tonopah, Nev., aside from being famed on account of its vast mineral ! resources, also occupies the unique din- j tine tion of numbering among its inhab itants a man who is able to live in a glass house and throw unlimited quan tities of stones at the same time with out suffering any of the serious incon veniences popularly supposed to sur round such an association. Not a tree grows within CO miles of the great mining camp, and very nat urally building material and fuel bring all sorts of lancy prices, the commonest \ kind of lumber selling for sf>s per thou sand feet, while inferior grades of scrub cedar command $22 a cord. Consequent upon this condition, various subterfuges jD ' 'isßi - —V- —■> THE BEER BOTTI.E HOUSE. (Architectural Freak Erected by an In genious Nevada Man.) are resorted to in the architectural makeup of Tonopah. There are houses made of straw, of burlap sacks trimmed with blue jean overalls, of tin from five j gallon oil cans; of dry goods and crack- I er box lumber; of mud, stones, tents, i cloth—in fact, almost every sort of con | trivance is resorted to as a makeshift | for a place of habitation; but it has re mained for William F. Peck, a miner, to devise a house in a class by itself. He has constructed of empty beer bottles a house 1G by £0 feet in the clear, with ceilings eight feet high, and con taining two rooms. It was built in October of last year by Mr. Peck en tirely unaided, at such odd moments as he could spare from his regular duties at the mine. Water was then selling at $1.50 a barrel, hence the principal ele j ment of expense centered in the supply of mud that was employed as a mortar between the bottles comprising the j edifice. Ten thousand empty beer bottles were | incorporated in the structure. Theinside I walls are plastered with mortar which I is spread to a depth sufficient to cover I the protruding bottle necks, thus mak | ing a smooth surface. Mr. Peck lived all last winter in his peculiar abode with his wife and two children, a girl of seven and a boy of three years, and says that while the wa ter in many residences of Tonopah reached the freezing point quite often, j his family found their glass house ex ceedingly comfortable at all times. He has sufficient bottles on hand for an other room, and it is his intention to utilize them at his leisure in building an addition to his premises. Mr. Peck removed with his family from Prescott, Ariz., to Tonopah, last winter, and it is quite evident he will get along all right wherever his lot may be cast. BISHOP SCHWEBACH.
