VuIcaniZed Rubber.

Experiments made with a view to OBJ
tanning more reliable methods of estimat-
ing the quality of vulcanized india rubber
have recently been made abroad, and the
results recorded as follows: India rubber
should not give the least sign of superficial
cracking when bent to an angle of $50 de-
grees after five hours of exposure in a
closed air bath to a temperature of 125 de-
grees c., the thickness of the test pieces to
be "a. Rubber that does not contain more
than half its weight of metallic oxides
should stretch to five times it's length with
out breaking. Free from all foreign mat
ter except the sulphur used in it's vuleani-
zation rubber should stretch to at least
seven times its length without rupture, and
the extension measured Immediately after
rupture should not exceed IL per cent of
the original length, with given dimensions.
Suppleness may be determined by measur-
ing the percentage of ash formed in the in
cineration of the substance, and this may
form the basis for deciding between differ
ent grades of rubber in their adaptation to
certain purposes. Finally, vulcanized rub
Der should not harden under cold.-New

There was a broken down horse brought
into an auction room. He was stone blind,
his tongue hung from his mouth about 10
inches, the end of it had been frozen and
turned black, and altogether he was the
most woebegone, detected looking species
of equine anatomy l ever saw. He was
sold for 81 to a seedy looking fellow, who
we suppose wanted to kill him for his hide.
In about two hours a man came up riding
a horse with head thrown back, prancing
as though full of life, and altogether good
looking animal. He said that he had just
bought him for $50 and wanted him sold.
congratulated him upon his bargain and
told him we could double his money fol
him. The next morning, before the daily
sale, went to look at the horse, and to my
astonishment he was the same we had sold
the day before. His eyes had lost the bright
ness caused by belladonna, he had forgot
ten the energy put in him by ginger, and
the red pepper pod which had been placed
under his tongue to make him keep it in
his mouth had lost it's strength, and that
organ again hung low. With an invest
ment of S2.1 the fellow had sold him for
$50, and if he had not been in hurry
could have got more. st. Louis Globe

TO DESTROY THE THISTLE,

Minnesota University Agricultural Com
mittee Give Valuable Pointers.
ST.. PAUL, Aug. 13.-The agricultural
committee of the state university is do
ing excellent work looking to the exter-
mination of the Russian thistle in this
state. In July the commit ttee. issued q
bulletin describing the weed, which IS
rapidly becoming serious pest, also
giving instructions as to the best
methods to be pursued in destroying it.
Large numbers Of replies have been
received from all sections of
the state, and - in response
to requests for samples of the weed
the committee is now sending out from
the state experiment station cards upon
which are mounted branches of the this
tie. These are sent to road supervisors
and all others who request them.
Colonel Liggett, chairman of the COM
mittee, said that the RAILROADS have
taken the matter up and instructed their
section foremen to destroy all of these
weeds along the right of way, and by so
doing will materially aid in preventing
the spreading Of the pest.

ARE LOSING MONEY IN MINNEAPOLIS


Many Insurance Companies Canceline
Their Policies on Lumber.
MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 13.-The insur-
ance companies that have lost so heav-
lily in the recent fires of Minneapolis
are canceling their lines Of lumber. Up
to July insurance companies made
money in Minnesota, in 1894, but in
July they lost 1928, 900. Now all COM
panies represented here are becoming
frightened. Some have Cancelled their
living policies on lumber entirely, some
have ordered their agents to reduce the
amount one-half, while a few are yet
writing out policies on lumber. While
the effect of this move may be disas-
trous to the lumber interests of the city
it comes especially hard on the insur-
ance agents themselves. The COM
missions on lumber have been greater
than on grain and the business has been
the heart Of the underwater COM
missions here. Whether it will result
in new companies placing representa-
tives here or will leave lumber men to
carry out their own risks will be
watched with interest.

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 13.-H. v: Jones,
commercial editor Of The Journal, afte1
In extensive. tour Of investigation
through the Northwest, estimates that
the spring wheat crop in Minnesota and
the Dakotas is the second largest those
states have produced. In opposition to
short crop estimates he places the wheat
yield of the three states at 1875, 900, 900
bushels, giving $4,000, 900 each to Min:
nesota and North Dakota and %, ,0OO, 900
to South Dakota, the latter being suf-
ferer from the drought, while the other
two states have apparently not felt it
except as to corn.
Mr.. Jones' estimates for four years
have been found by the seasons re-
ceipts to be approximately correct, al
though they vary greatly from the gov-
ernment estimates and those of Chi
cago experts. Reports of average
yields Of 20 to 40 bushels Of wheat are
coming in freely from Minnesota and
North Dakota: The wheat crop of the
three states last year was about 10, 000,-
600, as against 77,000,000 estimated by
the government.

This is based upon the belief that the

way final adjournment can be brought
about at almost any time. None of the
appropriation bills except the sundry
civil and the general deficiency are yet
to be acted upon to any extent by either
house, and these two are in such an ad-
vanced stage in conference that day
Of jealous work would probably suffice
to put them both in shape to be sent to
the president. The Chinese treaty is
the only other business that would hold
congress for q day and this is also in
condition to be taken up and voted upon.
