strength enough In them TO seize a dog
and hold him In n helpless position.
When chased into the water they will
sometimes seize dog and hold him
until the hind claws can cut him nearly
IN two. They are also good boxers.
and when the natives attempt 10 kill
them with clubs they dodge the lmple-
ment with all the skill OF a profession

expert he may get the worst Of the en-
counter. Quite a number OF hunters
have been severely injured. and some
killed. by attempting 70 corner a

bullet wound. Il Is much better 10 bring
the animal down with the rife bullet.

Instant touch with the man on deck
overhead. To Increase the effective
meas OF this method OF communication
. helmet has been designed. which en-
ables the diver to hear everything that
Is said by the attendant without any
special demands on his attention. The
receiver Il 90 fitted inside the helmet
that Il comes over his left ear. and the
transmitter IL just over his head. His
hands are thus entirely unhampered
and he can carry on a conversation
while In the midst OF his work. The
circuit n formed by two wires. the
lines running through the centre OF a
MANILA rope attached 10 the helmet.
Things are made just as easy Cor the
man on deck. The whole OF this little
KIT IL contained IN box. which "a
strapped 10 his body. 40 that his hands
are free. The contents OF this box are
an induction coil and all the acoessor-
les for telephonlng. including four
cells Of battery. A small switch on
the deck set cuts in the batteries for
both. When the diver Is not talking
TO the man on deck. and wants TO at
tract his attention. all he has to do Is
TO jerk his life line. In this way the
diver IL relieved OF all the concern
about the appartus; the man on deck
runs the exchange" The gain In
speed which the telephone gives In the
apparatus Is insignificant. the deck set
being only four pounds. and the diver
sei adding only eight ounces TO the
weight OF the helmet.

Demand for American Hardwoods stead
ny Growing ON the Continent.
A significant fact In the industrial
world OF Europe Is the steadily inereas-
Ing demand for hard woods that are
indigenous to the soil OF America As
may pc supposed, oak leads the foreign
shi rnts. although tulip, poplar, ash
gun ma black walnut, whenever
good quality can be tecured. are in
some demand. European consumers
like the quality Of American oak, and.
since Il lie known TO be plentiful here,
Il will probably be in increasing de-
mand. Cottonwood has been shipped 20
Germany In considerable quantities.
whore cheap wood is required for fur
nlture and other uses. Much OF this
lumber Is forwarded from New Orleans,
and since a great part Of the oak. ash
poplar. cottonwood and other umbers

the southern states. II is not improba'
be that lumber for foreign markets
will be largely shipped In future from
