RE --. PP CANADA'S FOREST FIRES. Since Conféderation the Loss Amounts to Total of Billion Dollars. Forest fires in Canada since Confed- eration have destroyed vastly more of the nation's wealth than all other kinds of fires put together. The fire losses. paid by insurance companies in Canada since 1867 amounted to $272,2560,777, says the Canadian Forestry Journal. The act- ual property loss is ascertainable at about 26 per cent. over the foregoing figure. This refers to ordinary pro- perty, h tents, factories, etc., and includes practically no standing timber which only in rare instances is insurable and that only during the past few years. It has been generally accepted as a modest estimate that for every foot (of timber ever cut in Canada, seven "have been destroyed by fire. Placing government stumpage dues at the very low rate of 60 cents a thousand feet it is not unreasonable to assume that the public revenues have suffered by scores of millions of dol- lars. It may not be fair to accept such g total as a thousand million dollars, as does the Montreal "Finan- cial Times," because Government dues would not have been collected by any means on all the timber that has gone up in smoke, although every "square mile of public-owned forest must be regarded as possessing potential pub- carr'd ford. Animals kept in the back yard will produce manure that must be supplied to the garden, and at the present fear- fully high prices of fertilizers animals are almost worth their keep for the production of manure alone. lic rev f one id. the '| tain cases of spinal wounds with par lis to be ound in a military ward at St. Mary's Hospital, Paddington, Eng-! land It is a special bed for the para-, y "One of the great problems in cer- alysis is how to move the patient suf- ficiently to make his bed and tend his wounds without increasing his ings by moving him. The new bed solves the problem. Surrounding the bed just at the edge of the wattress is a rectangular framework of hollow metal piping. Connecting the two parallel sides are broad bands of webbing, stretched across on top of the mattress, and on these the patient lies. The two short sides of the framework, the one at the head of the bed and the other at the foot, are connected by a geared, wheel with a vertical steel post, so that by simply turning a handle at the head or the foot of the bed the frame- work with the patient lying on the webbing can be lifted off the mattress without his position being changed in the least.

The extensive utilization of British! Columbia spruce for the manufacture of aeroplanes has called into the ser- vice of the Imperial Munitions Board a special staff of technical foresters, among whom are Mr. H. R. MacMillan and Mr. Roland D. Craig, the latter being "loaned" by the Commission of Conservation for an indefinite period. The President of the Canadian Aero- plane Company, virtually a British Government creation, when at the coast recently made a thorough inves-! tigation of the possibilities. He said that there were great tracts of spruce in the province which would exactly | meet the required conditions for aero-| plane construction.

For four years, from 1908 to 1907, the Huns in German Southwest Africa waged a war of extermination against the Herreros, in the course of which some 30,000 natives and over 5,000 Germans lost their lives. It was the seizure of Kino-chau--a warlike act of aggression against a friendly power----which led up to the anti-foreign outbreak of the Chinese Boxers three years later. In the war for their suppression German trcops played a leading part; and, in obedi- ence to the kaiser's orders to "take they were the only ones among the allies who consistent- ly refused quarter to a beaten enemy. Finally, Germany was almost inces- .santly at war in German East Africa between 1888 and 1906, during which period more than 100,000 natives are estimated to have been killed; and she also waged other "little wars" in Togoland and the Cameroons.
