WONDERFUL NATURE FORCES.

New forces in nature are being con
stantly discovered, and nobody but an
expert attempts to describe them with
accuracy. Some Of the experiments
border on the miraculous. There is
that one, for instance, with liquified
air in which quicksilver Is frozen.
The mercury is poured into a mould
having a hammer shape, and is sub
jected to the temperature Of liquid air
two hundred and forty degrees below
zero, from which IT comes out In so
solid a form that 1t can be used TO
drive nails. For an hour It's solidity
Of form is preserved. Then there is
another experiment, seemingly still
more marvellous. Liquified air is
brought into contact with a lump Of
ice. and the latent heat In the lee boils
the iIquifed air. Yet water freezes
at thirty-two. Compressed air has
been developed as great power, and
is soon to be put into practical opera

SOME NEW TIMBER RESOURCES.

converting 1t into marketable pro

changed their views In this particular
and now some Of the large concerns
that have grown wealthy in the pine
business have begun to develop their
timber resources other than pine
Many have nearly reached the end OF
their pine operations, but yet have
vast amount of timber OF various
sorts which can be worked up at q
profit. BY thus doing they can
utilize their mills. their logging rail
ways and camp outfits for several
years longer. Preparations are being
made for more thorough utilization
of timber products. Hemfock opera
tions will be carried on in connection
with hardwood numbering and cedar
cutting, all working together to main
tain the general industry. In the Ella
boration OF the hemlock business tan
neries are being erected so as to use
up the bark and thus enhance the
profitableness OF the timber Alto

next 10 years there will be an enlarge

compensating for the decline OF the
pine industry. Our timber barons

VALUE OF THE
SOUDAN.

How soon can the Soudan be made
to meet its own share of expense and
relieve the Egyptian exchequer? II
must prove, at first, costly acquisi-
ton. For the reasons already given
a numerous local force must be main
tanned. and although the Egyptian
army estimates may be relieved by a
certain reduction OF the native Egyp-
tan troops, the military establish
ment in the Soudan will still con
stitute severe tax, to which the
province can contribute little. Even
in more fourishing days, before 1t was
wasted and depopulated by the pltiless

chief product was gum arabic. There

was that the desperadoes themselves

legs colored the exact shade OF bun TO

fathers-she trippeo along down to

OF course We all went out to meet
her, and explained to her, as did Ar

thought very muchly OF her. she
sprang up on the roof of the outdoor
cellar back of the cabin, and from
there stepped up on the roof OF the
kitchen, along the whole length Of
which she meandered to the front
where she posed at length, the lovely
little monarch OF all she surveyed
One OF the boys then slipped up be-
hind her and gave her sudden scare
when She jumped from the root,
alighting in the snow seven or eight
feet below, and trotting off out OF
danger, waited until the coast was
again clear, when she repeated the
whole interesting performance, minus
the final leap for life"
All this was very interesting, to be
sure; yet, when the tiukling of thai
wretched bell sounded at intervals all
through the following night, and the
patter Of tiny hooEs promenading the

laugh to see her bounding off through

CURED OF FALLING OVERHEARD.
Skipper of the Pirate Changed the an

Jack loved the sea like Nor

most Norweglans he does not know
how to swim. He had been sailing
with me in Jamaica Bay and in the

yet he hardly knew the difference

because of his lack OF knowledge
about boat. but because he had the
falling-overboard habit. Whenever he
went aboard Jack was almost sure to
Sometimes he lodged the boom when
1t swung over, and sometimes the
boys grabbed him by the legs ana

times the boom Knocked Jack over

Then we had to bring the Pirate
around before the wind and put after
him. He usually was nearly half
drowned before we reached him, and,
after fishing him out and rolling him
on a beer keg (Which Is a good Ing
to take as ballast when You have n
man along with the falling overheard
habit), we dosod him with whisky,
which we always carried for medici-
nal use. Jack would never revive
thoroughly until he had at least n
half dozen pulls at the bottle We
noticed as the falling habit
grew on him. it required more and
more whisky to bring him to. He
got to be very expensive. Often there
was no liquor for medicinal purposes

he had dropped through into the

some OF that down Jacks throat. To
