ADIRONDACK CAMPING.
Fine Recreation For Women Who Are
willing to Rough It


PAUL SAITH s. N Y Sept g. -Adiron-
dack camping for women is not what it
was eight or ten years ago The woman
camper in those days wore a regular
camp costume, with short skirt Of fan
mel and bodice to match; leggings of
cloth or leather, strong low heeled shoes
and felt hat Sometimes women thus
equipped went into rough camp with
rifle and fishing rod and lived as nearly
as they might the life of the hunter
eve don It do that now, y said a camp
er, smiling from beneath her saucy
sailor hat, land every year we are more
and more like the women that loll about
the hotel porches and take care Of their
compilations. y
As matter of fact, there has been
change in many respects for the better
and some for the worse as to the man
ner Of camp life for women. A woman
may still, if she chooses, live in rough
camps and scorn conventions, but most
women do the other things There are
camps of all degrees, from the enormous
establishments of the millionaires,
where fashion still has her way and ev-
erybody dresses two or three times day,
to the simple camps of sensible folks,
where the women dress in outing cos
tune when they rise and seldom appear
in anything else, save perhaps on Sun
day. It's easier to do this in your own
camp or as a guest in some friends
camp than in the boarding camps, where
to some extent there is such a thing as
the conventionalities of town life. The
boarder, however, who has the courage
to be peculiar may, if she will, enjoy the
luxury of dressing but once a day. The
woman who comes camping to the Adj
rondacl1s, whether as guest OF as
boarder, needs an outing costume to con-
sist of sailor hat, shirt waist, serge
skirt and jacket to match, russell shoes
and the proper sort Of neclztie. The
provident woman viii fetch along at
least two outing gowns skirt and jacket,
and half dozen shirt waists Is none too
many. Fashionable women are likely to
have several dozens Of the latter and five
or six of the former, and it is the thing
to have hatband, necktie and belt to

BRITISH PRISONS.

Treatnent Awarded to American Con-
vfcts UnISnown Across the water.
s'Convicts who are confined in Amer
lean prisons are allowed many more
comforts and privileges than the same
class of unfortunates in England"
said Howard L. Abbot of London. "A
man. in an English prison IS almost as
dead to the world as he would be in
his tomb Nothing in the way of food
or reading matter can be sent him by
his friends and he is never permitted
to see a newspaper. Only at long in
tervals can he write or receive letters
and he is never allowed to speak I'M
less he is addressed by an official Of
the prison A prisoner sentenced for
three years may see a visitor once in
three months and he is allowed to
write one letter. To men whose
terms are longer such privileges are
granted less often For the first
month the prisoners bed consists sim
ply of broad board, raised a few
inches above the floor He has no
mattress and the bed clothing con
sists of a blanket, pillow, and
couple of sheets At the end of
month, if his conduct has been all
that IS required, he is given a mat
tress three nights a week. Later he
mas mattress I'VE nights week and
still later, if his department con-
tinues absolutely perfect, he is al
lowed a mattress every night His
food is also regulated by the length
of time he remains in prison. He
commences with the poorest and most
meager fare at first. which is gradual
" changed for that a little better if
his conduct is unexceptionabie but
no matter how we'll he NAV conduct
himself his diet never EQUALS that
given to the ordinary prisoner in
America.

match every shirt waist. Along with
these things it is we'll to fetch light
muslin gown for the occasional hot
midday, when one does not stir about.
and some sort of more or less drcssy
gown of warm material for the frequent
cool evenings.
All these latter things for the woman
who has not made up her mind to brave
it out day and night in outing costume,
a thing that may be done IN perfect
comfort and safety. Several wraps
light and heavy; a few cushions and a
hammock help out wonderfully in camp
and are likely to be almost necessities
to the boarding camper. IF the camper
is rich enough, it is most convenient to
buy or hire for the season one Of the
light Adirondack boats They may be
had at secondhand as low as $50 and
new for $50 or $40 There is nothing to
prevent an advantageous sale of the
boat at the end of the season.
The woman campers outfit may cost
what she Will The skirt and Jacket
may be had ready made as low as 81
or made to order as high asrssI25. The
latter price is absurd, anC the former
probably too low for good wear. An al
together suitable skirt and jacket may
be had for $40 and worn perhaps the
had ready made as low as 40 cents and
made to order at the most fashionable
places for as much as So each. Reckless
and rich women order the latter by the
dozen Clever women buy one al 50
and make others OF the best material on
that pattern at q cost Of about 81 each.
Hats and shoes may be had at prices
that range from almost nothing up to
So or 81 for the former and %6 or IS for
the latter. A serviceable hammock need
not cost more than So, though some
come at 500 or more
The joys Of the sensible woman who
camps IN the Adirondack are both
physical and intellectual The well cho-
sen camp is always on a lake. and the
modern outing costume is just the thing
for rowing. Any woman can learn in
three days to manage an Adirondack
boat, and before the season IS over can
row five miles at a stretch without over
taxing her strength if she be in fair
health The average young woman in
pretty outing costume Is not a specially
successful fsherwoInan, but fish are
queer things, and a wary old trout
sometimes takes the hook of a giddy girl
that welcomes his appearance above wa
ter with shout that would madden the
true fisherman. There is moonlight

long all day expeditions up and down
the crooked and beautiful Adirondack
streams. There are trips of two or three
days that one takes for many miles, al
ternately rowing through the lakes,
marching overland while the guides
carry the boats or padding cautiously
where a narrow stream completes the
lake chain. There is mountain climbing,
not of the perilous Alpine sort, but de-
ightful IN its way, with a night in
rough camp on the mountain top and
breakfast cooked at dawn over camp
fire. Then there Is the delightful ease
of the hammock and a book, or the Au-
gust evening about the roaring camp
fire, indoors upon the hearth or outdoors
on a headland overlooking the lake and
its always wooded shores.

The common notion that beech
trees are not struck by lightning SO
often as other trees is supported by
experime nts made by Jonesco Dim
itrie, who passed the spark Of Haiti
machine through blocks of different
kinds of wood. The spark passed
through oak after one or two revOlu-
tiOns of the machine. while five were
required for black poplar and willow,
and from twelve to twenty for beech.
1t was found that the difference was
due to the richness in fat. Pine,
which is rich in fat in winter but
poor in summer, showed a resistance
corresponding to the time At which it
was selected for the test

PAPER POLES.
They Are Lighter, Sitter ana Stronger
Than Wooden Ones.

They Are Lighter, Sitter and Stronger
Than Wooden Ones
One of the latest uses to which pa
per has been turned is the making Of
telegraph poles. The paper pulp en-
ployed is saturated with mixture of
borax, tallOv and other substances.
The mass is cast in a mold with a
cone in the center, forming a hollow
rod of any desired length, the cross
pieces being held by wooden keys
driven in on either side of the pol e.
The paper poles are said to be Ugh tie r
and stronger than those of wood
and to be unaffected by the many
weather influences which shorten tn e
life of a wooden pole.
1t is doubtful. .however,w whether the
paper pole will come to be anything
like a rival to the iron pole, which is
now high in favor for the carrying of
all kinds of wire lines. The value of
iron telegraph poles has been well
tested under the most trying
conditions on the lines between
Europe and India, and again across
arid stretches of country in Australia.
Insects that eat out the core Of
everything in the shape of wood ,
leaving the shell only. and bird borers
that drill holes in the toughest of
trees, let the iron poles pass, and
even wandering tribes cannot chop it
up for fire wood, although down in
Australia they have not yet quite got
over their trick of making arrow
heads Of the insulators it carries.
