THE TIMBER SUPPLY.

One hundred and sixty-fve billion
feet of pine has been cut in the States
of Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota,
during the past "a years. 1t takes at
the present time twenty billion feet
each year of all kinds of lumber to
supply the mills of the United States.
OF this about nine billion is white pine,
seven billion fir and the remainder
various kinds of timber.
There is but twenty billion feet of
pine left in Minnesota; ten billion in
Winconsin; fifteen billion in Michi-
gan; ten billion in Pennsylvania, and
in all the remaining Eastern States
only enough to make up 400 billion,
but little more than half as much as
was cut in the past "a years.
On the Pacific Coast it is estimated
at nearly 1000 billion. These figures
are all taken from the report of Chief
Fernow, of the Division of Forestry.
They are supposed to be correct. One
thing though is evident, that the
timber on the coast is overestimated or
the amount of white pine is underes-
timated.
But let us take these figures as cor
rect and what a startling result faces
us! Only 1,40O billion feet of lumber
to supply nation using at least 20
billion feet annually, it takes but little
figuring to discover that the whole
body of timber in the United States
will be cut in 70 years.

THE WALK OF WOMEN.
French Women Walk the Best-HOW
TO Improve the Carriage.

How women walk" has recently
been the subject of discussion in a
Partisan journal. According to this
authority, the palm must be awarded
to French women. The English wo-
man, it states, does not walk; she
travels. Her limbs appear to be
moved by the engine of a steamer, and
her feet have the proportions of an
Atlantic liner! Concerning the gait
of women of other countries, this in
teresting journal goes on to remark
that the German is heavy, one feels
the earth tremble beneath her tread !;
the Spanish woman "prances," the
American resembles the pendulum of
a clock, the italian skips," the Rus
sian "skates," the Dutch woman
"rolls," and the Belgian tramps
about.
Now, although these remarks are
ungallant and uncomplimentary to
our own nation particularly, we cam
not but own that there is certain
amount of truth i'll them. Numbers
of women do not seem to care how
they walk so long as they cover the
distance they wish to traverse some-
how. But if they could only see
themselves as they appear to the cas-.
ual onlooker, how very differently
they would cOmport themselves! How
often is pretty face and figure
spoiled by a stoop of the shoulders and
a wriggling, bustling walk!
Certain women are models of queen.
ly grace, and the reason is plain.
They have curious custom of carry
ing burdens, water-pots, ETC., on their
heads. 1 noticed a Corsican woman
going OH board steamer at Marseilles
not long ago, carrying her baby in her
arms and her rortmanteau on her
head. AS nearly all the water in
Corsica is carried from wells by wo-
men in waterpots, the women acquire
from youth the practice of carrying
burdens ON their heads. An hours
practice of this exercise a day with,
for instance, book or pillow on our
head, would do wonders in the way OF
making us into types of grace and
ease, when before we were the exact
opposite.

HERE'S A NEW IDEA.
CAN THERE BE ELECTRIC LIGHTS
WITHOUT DYNAMOS?
cian of mil Valley, Cal.-With
Ordinary Batteries lie Produces
a brilliant Illumination - His
Secret Embodied In the Fluid with
Which the Cells Are Charged.

w hnC <hbC - eus
Deputy Sheriff John F. Magner, who
is also an electrician for the San
Rafael Electric Light Company, at
Spring Valley, Cal, has made q dis
covery which bids fair to create sem
sation in electric circles and yield a
fortune to the discoverer and inventor.
Mr.. Magner has, by careful study of
over two years, discovered 4 method
by which he is able to produce an arc
light by the use of a simple battery.
He has had his apparatus in working
order for three days in the laboratory
at his residence in Mill Valley.
"Two years ago." said Magner,
"while in the employ of the Midwinter
Fair in San Francisco, l was at work
on electrical apparatus in connection
with the big tower which stood i'll the
center of the grand court. There l
made the discovery which this week /
have put in successful operation.
While l was attempting to get
method of running the electrical
elevator in the tower by means of
battery instead of motor, l accident
ally ran across something that set me
to thinking, and for two years l have
worked on this proposition-to pro-
duce a cheap, strong, steady and bril-
liant light without the use of dy-
namo.
"Two months ago while mixing the
solution in the cells produced an arc
light. At last after my labors had
put the theory into practice, but l was
not satisfied. The light while brilliant
was small, and thinking to make it
larger, put more of my solution (the
of which are known only
to myself, for it is in this that the
entire secret of my success lies) into
the cells, and the light went out.
at seemed as if the work of two
years had gone for nothing, and l i'm
mediately tried to solve the mystery.
Three nights ago success again
crowned my efforts, and ! can at any
time demonstrate by actual operation
that my discovery is genuine.
"I use four cells, producing about
five volts each, connected by wires. In
each cell are two poles of carbon and
zinc. Other batteries are similar, ex-
cept that they have only one pole
each; but it is not in this that the
results are produced. 1t is entirely in
the solution with which the cells are
filed.
"Of course l intend to Immediately
take steps to protect my discovery. I
reckon that six.room house can be
lighted for about 81 month by this
and 1 am now at work in
IN attempt to bring the cost down to
! minimum. When I have accom-
plished this, as feel certain I shall in
a very short time, the mixture can be
sold around the streets as a milkman
now delivers his milk from house to
house. 1t would be served in rubber
pails."
Mr.. Magner attributes his good for
tune more to an accident than other
wise, but it is nevertheless fact that
he has been laboring to produce the
results obtained this week for long
time. He has been engaged in the
ask without assistance, and what
benefits will be derived from the intro
luction of the new fluid will be en-
sirely his own.

Does Your Dinner Add 10 Your
Weight?

In WilliamstOwn reside two young
men of scientific turn of mind.
They have been discussing whether a
man weighs more after eating than
before, and have decided that eating
adds nothing to the weight, while
drinking makes itself known in
avoirdupois. The other day, they
weighed themselves just before going
to dinner. Mr.. Porter weighed 191
pounds, and Mr.. Wheeler 165. They
also weighed what they ate for dinner,
and the experiment showed that the
smaller man was the better feeder, fol
according to the scales, he got away
with three and half pounds of vege'
tables, while his companions capacity
was only two pounds. The mel
weighed themselves again directly
after diuner, and both declare thai
their weight was not increased at all.

An Ohio Chemist Discovers Remedy that

! DiHetlSt''
Since DR.. Richard Bright first described
Bright's disease in 1927, the medical world
has given more and more attention to the
study of the kidneys as a source of disease
and have demOnStrat ed beyond doubt that
! they are the direct cause of many of the
! ills of mankind.
Nineteenth century methods of living
