Father Slocum is fond of sea voyages,
but states that he has crossed the co

there is too little novelty in it now to
induce a trip to any but southern
points during the cold months.
He goes alone. He will sail via. the

a return voyage by way of Santiago-
de-Cuba and Havana.
When asked if he were susceptible
to seasickness. Father Slocum said
that he is seized with an attack but 0c
casionally. "Only when there is a
great deal of,rnotion," said be. “And
the last time that I experienced that
motion was two years ago this winter,

FORIITS OF THE PHILIPPINES.
Their Character and Extent—Oppor-
tunities for Government Forestry.
Mr Gifford Pinchot. Chief of the
Bureau of Forestry, in i aahlngton.
has returned from the! hllippines.
where he was sent last August by
Secretary Wilson. at the request of
the Secretary of War. to report on
the forest policy of the islands.
A personal examination of the Phil-
ippine forests and a study of market
conditions have convinced Mr. Pinehot
oi the value of the timber and of the
very great opportunities on the islands
for government forestry. "Both for
forestry and for forestera," he says
“the Phllippin offer the finest ileld
i know of. {like Forestry Bureau of
the islands. or Capt. George P.
Ahern has charge of the development
of valuable forests composed of trees
the names of which are mostly un
familiar to Americans and of whose
habits we know comparatively noth
log. An unlimited field for profits
ble study ls offered the young forest-
ers now entering the Philippine ser-
vice. The obioction that the islands
are dangerously unhealthy is a mis-
taken one. I believe that a man who
takes care of himself may work with
entire safety in the Philippines."
On a grrnboat placed at his disposal
by Governor Taft, Mr. Pinchot, in
company with Captain Ahern. made a
trip of 3,000 miles among the islands.
The sailing was done at night, when
possible: landings were made in the
day and the forests of all the larger
islands and of many of the smaller
ones were examined.
"Probably more than half the area
of the islands is in forest " says Mr.
Pinchot. \“Tho boot timber' i saw
was in Mindanao. on the road built by
the army from the coast 'to Linao.
where the fighting with the Marco has
been going on. There the besttrees
are 150 in 175 feet high. with clear
lengths of 90 to 100 feet and diameters
of 3 to 6 feet. The forest is dense and
interwoven with creepers. and pro-
gress through it is often impossible
without cutting a way. The islands
contain large areas without forest. as
along the railroad from Manila to Da-
supan. Nearly the whole island of
Cebu and parts of Pansy are without
forests. On the other hand. Mindano
and Paragon are nearly all in forest,
“The pins of the Benguct province
is about the only tree which an Ameri
can in the Philippines will recognise.
l Although nearly 700 species have been
described and classified. doubtless
many Philippine trees still remain on
known. Very many of the timbers
are tine cabinet woods; nearly all are
heavy. and many sink in we or. At
present their use is limited entirely
by their ability to withstand the at-
tacks of the teredo and the white ant.
“Lumbering is a problem on the
islands. The death of nearly all the
caribou has in some places reduced
the industry to the employment of
hand labor entirely which is scarce
What lumbering
is now going on is of the most primi-
tive sort. l have seen heavy logs
hauled with tackles by hand. A can
slderable part of the timber used on
the islands is imported from the Unit-
ed States." .
Mr. Pinchot journeyed to the Bhilip-
pines by way of Russia. where hi:
found an ancient and highly developed
system of government forestry. He
visited the forest schools of St. Peters-
burg and Moscow, met the forest offl-
cials and made trips with them into
the woods. He also observed the
planting on the steppes.
0f the Russian forests Mr. Pinqhot
says: “They are very good. as a
whole, though not to be compared with
those of our own Pacific coast. Across
Russia and Siberia. from Moscow to
the borders of Manchuria. one is never
out of sight of trees."
Mr. Pinchot will make u complete
report on his observations in the Phil-
ippines.
1003.
They tell me 'tls a brand new year.
And yet I am suspicious.
Already it doth much appear
Like other years capricious.
Each January. as it came
With cold to test endurance
'lne poets offered me the same
Remarkable assurance.
And yet with blustering in March
And flowers to deck the Mayday. ,
And roses over the porch's arch.
When June was in its heyday.
With ills enough. and yet with cheer.
With thorns. and yet with clover.
it is 1 fear the same old year
That they’ ve been working over.
