From Garden and Forest
~ The demand for American hardwoods in
Europe Is growing. and oak leads the for
eign shipments. although tulip poplar. ash.
gum and black walnut whenever a good
quality can be secured. are in some demand.
European consumers like the quality of
American oak. and. since it is known TO he
plentiful here. it will probably be in incre as
ing demand. Cottonwood has been shipped
to Germany in considerable Quantities.
where cheap wood is required for furniture
and other uses. Much of this lumber is
forwarded from New Orleans and since a
great part of the cak. ash, poplar cotton
wood and other timbers demanded by the
foreign market is in the southern states
1t is not improbable that lumber for for
eign markets will be largely shipped in
future from the gulf ports In speaking of
this matter, the Northwestern Lumb-rman
says that the European market requires
lumber cut of exact thickness, and OF ac-
curate length. trimmed so as to have the
butts square and true. Space for piling in
the yards of the old world is an object SO
that random uneven lengths are objection
able. and. since the foreign buyer insists
that he shall have just what he bargains

ELECTRICITY IN WAR.


As a Means of Defense 1t Can lie Used

From the Bosteu Giel,e.
Who will say that electricity may not vet
be brought into use to turn aside even the
heaviest projectiles that may be sent hurt
ling from the largest and most accura tely
aimed modern guns?
At an experiment with army rifles near
Berne Switzerland. it was found that all
the bullets went wide of the targets In
vestigation showed that. parallel to the
range. and at short distance from 1t.
there was an electric line, which had
caused the bullets to defect from their
course. In order to test the matter tie
military authorities laid four steel cables
at distance of about forty yards from
the range. which was little less than
300 yards In length. The cables we're then
charged with a strong current and the
firing was resumed. 1t was then ascertain
ed that the detection for the distance, $50
feet, was about 20 feet; when a longer
range was used the detection was propor-
tionately increased. In some expert
ments with artillery at a range of 5000
yards 1t was found that the DETECTION
amounted to no less than II degrees

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
There is one man In the league who be-
lieves that Chris Won der Abe has disposed
of his franchise In whole or part He is
Frank DeHaas Robson of the Cleveland
club, and he has hgured 1t out to his own
satisfaction in a talk with an Enquirer
man. Mr.. Robson said
II believe that when the league meets in
Chicago next month that Vonderhorst of
Baltimore will show up the greatest base
hall deal of history. 1 began to suspect
that something was in the air about the
time that the Temple cup games were
played in this city. Mr.. Vonderhorst came
here with the club. and remained nearly a
week after they had gone. While here ne
made me an offer for two of my players.
l will not state the amount, but is was
larger in comparison than the Breitenstein
price. One of the players asked for was
Cy. Young. After consultation with
Stanley Robson declined the offer, for the
reason that l did not care to hopelessly
cripple my club VOnderhorst still re-
maned here, pretending that he was In
love with the city. One day a message
was received at my office asking if Mr.. Won
der Abe was in the city. ! believed that a
mistake had been made, and told the in
quirer that Mr. Vonderhorst was. For my
pains l was told that the inquirer knew
perfectly well that the Baltimore man was
in the city, but he seeking the St.
Louis man. The next morning l learned
that Mr.. Brush had bought Breitenstein.
and that some kind of a deal had been
worked under my nose The next thing l
Knew VCnderhorst was gone.
"Breitenstein was a good stroke. He is
the best left-hander in the business, and
only last season / offered $1,000 for him
But about the other matter. Baltimore is
stale on base ball. Its team has won the
championship three times In succession.
Next year a tenth place team will make as
much as the champions in that city. St
Louis is one of the greatest base ball cities
in the circuit 1t has not had a champion
ship team since Comiskey'S days, and Is
fairly wild for a good club. New York Is
not the place for team. The lease on the

strongest by far.
1T was the sale of Rreitenstein that con-
tirmed me in the belief that a deal had been
made, for, recol!ect that for about iive ur
six days prior to that time no one could
locate Won der Abe. That able gentfema Il
