Ibis close spacing is necessary to form a dense shade and ground cover quick- ly. Italso makes the trees grow more rapidly in height, and provides for early money returns from thinning the stand, The allotments of trees for the other counties in which - tate forests are Ic- cated are as follows: Uamerop, 334,- 300 ; Clearfield, 274,000; Clinton, 530- 000 ; Cumberland, 271,5000 ; Elk, 52,- 000; Franklin, 100,000; Huntingdon, 73,000 ; Lycoming, 118,000; Petter, 1,- U=3,000 ; Somerser, 310,000; Tiogs, 433,000; Union, 255,000. Including Centre county allotment, this makes a total of 5,160,000 trees to be used for reforesiation on the Btate forests this year. In addition to thie, from 1,000, 000 to 1,600,000 trees will be distributed to private individaals who will use them for reforesting, ing.

A Man Worth Knowing, The following is taken from * The Lafayette,” official weekly organ of Lafayette College, and concerns a man who 13 known by almost every resi- dent in this place—Dr. MeCluney Radeliffe : Dr. Radcliffe may be described as a regular Lafayette man, He comes of a good old Pennsylvania family, in good circumstancer, but not wealthy. He prepared for college in the old fashioned academy at Kishacoquillas ; then took the regular classical course in Lafayette; was a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity and of Franklin Hall. He was graduated with the class of 1877. He studied medicine at the University of Pennayl- vanie, being graduated there in 1882, with honorable mention. He was married to Mary E. Funk, Jan, 1, 1885, and has one daughter, Mre. Barash Cunningham Mackay, and one grand- 80D, & Very recent acquisition, Dr. Radcliffe has practised his pro- fession steadily in the same city for over twenty-three years, He is still a Democrat, and, for many years has been a deacon in the Presbyterian church, He is a very prominent member of the Masonic fraternity. Lafayette claims bim as a most loyal slumnus and one of ite most efficient Trustees, There is absolutely nothing irregu- lar about ‘* Raddy.” If you know what a reasonable, generous and inp- telligent man ought to do in any glv- €n case, you may safely bet on '' Kad- dy " doing just that thing. When we erect his monument—may it be long hence !—we will carve this ss his memorial : “In him was no variable- ness nor the shadow of turning.” But the regularity of his course does not imply stagnation or extreme con- servatism. On the contrary, his rec- ord is a remarkable example of the su- perior efficiency of a steady and un- swerving pursuit of the best things in professional and personal life. His stminments and rewards have been as regular as his pursuits, Few of our alumpi—few men from soy college— bave bad a higher degree of success in their profession or have won the respect and aflection of so large a cir- cle of professional colleagues and per- sonal friends. The following incom- plete list of positions held and formal bonors conferred, gives some idea of his success ; Clinical Assistant, Eye and Esr De- partment of Penns, Hospital, 1853- 1883, and in the Wills Eye Hospital, 1583-1887, Assistant Surgeon Wills Eye Hospi Lal 1507-1901. Attending Physician in the same since 1501, Elected Ophthalmic Surgeor, Phila delpbis Presbyterian Hospital, 1014, U. ¥. Exsmioiog Burgeon since 1892. | He is First Vice President of the Philsdelpaia Medical Club and Presi- dent of the Puiladelphia Medical So- ciety. Helis a faithful and honored member of the Masonic fraternity of which he became sa member in Potter Lodge, No. 441, in 1891, He was made Worshipful Master of his lodge io 1888, High Priest of Palestine P. A. Chapter, No. 240, in 1900, Illustri- ous Master, Joffa Council, R, & 8, M., No. 46 in 1909, Eminent Commander, Bi. Alhans Commandery, No. 47 K. T.

He was made uonotary 33¢d degree, October 1, 1912, No doubt ne weeps because there are Lo more worlds to corquer, Bat bis honors are not confined to fields of professional aud fraternal dis- tinction, Pennsylvania College recog- nized his worth by conferring upon him the degree of LL. D. in 1914. For some twenty years be has been one of the most active and useful members of the Lafayette Board of Trustees, Petbeps the nicest thing about it all Is tbat the honors heaped upon his bead and shoulders have not spoiled bim in the least nor has the winning of these distinctions disturbed his nerves or shaken his faith. He has perfect health, good temper and sbounding enthusisem for everything worth while ia life. When he comes back to Lafayette, as he does most frequently, we find him just the same good-hearted, reliable, iriendly being that we knew iu the Bophomore class some forty years ago.
