Decay in timber is brought about
tn three ways-by the action of bac-
terra in the albumen III the sap, by
;he absorption of water and by the
action of insects. An ordinary fir tele-
graph pole, without any chemical prep
aration, will become rotten in seven
years. Creosote is most effective
preservatlve. \ line of 31S creosoted
poles erected in 1913 was examined
thirteen years afterward and only two
showed the slightest sign of decay.
In 1883 the poles were still in use,
and apparently sound. Another line
of forty miles of poles were put up in
1861 in groups of three. The first in
each trio was plain pole, the second
had been treated by patent lotion
and the third had been creosoted. In
1870 all the plain poles had been re-
moved, thirty per cent. of the spec-
tally treated poles were exhausted,
while the whole OF the creosoted poles
were sound.

SOLDIER A POOR CORRESPONDENT.
Why tho Love Letters to Manila Were
Not Answered.


The Postoffice Department has re-
Gently been stirred up in remarkable
manner by young woman in Iowa.
She happens to have lover in one OF
the regiments now on duty in tho
Philippine Islands, and recently made
complaint Of the inefficiency of the
postal service, directed to the Post
master General and also to the mem-
ber of Congress from the district i'll
which she lives. She was boiling With
indignation because she had written
twenty four times TO her lover in the
Philippines aud had received no re-
ply; indeed, she had not heard word
from him since his departure on the
troopship from San Francisco, and
was confident he had written her
regularly, as he had promised to do,
and that his letters had either been
destroyed or were lying in some
corner where they had been over
looked or were lost on the way, or
that he had been killed by the Fill
pinos and General Otis had neglected
to report his death. She denounced
the expansion policy of the admins
tration, declared that it was cruel
and wicked war, and demanded that
her lover should be sent home at once.
AS the young ladys father is II per-
son of some prominence in a political
way, the Congressman took up. the
matter with the Postoffice Department,
and cablegram was sent to the Super
lntendent of the Postal Service in the
Philippine Islands at the cost OF $3 a
word, ordering an investigation.
The report has just been received.
Tho special agent to whom the case
was assigned says that he found the
girls lover without any difficulty, en-
,oying good health and an average
state of happiness. He promptly adj
mitted that he had received lot OF
letters from his sweetheart in Iowa
he couldn't remember whether the
exact number was twenty three or
twenty-four-but they had come in
lunches by every transport and had
been duly delivered at the camp of
his company. He also acknowledged
with equal candor that he had not
answered any Of them because the
weather was too hot, and he wasn't
much of writer, anyhow. He liked
to receive letters, but hated to answer
them, and declared he had told the
girl so before he left home. There
fore, he did not see why she was max
ing such fuss about it. He would
write her by tho next mail and scold
her for making an official matter of
their love affair.
A copy Of the report was sent to the
member OF Congress, with the request
that he forward it to the young lady.

Hunting For Penrls.

Pearls enter so largely into the COM
pletion of the fashionable woman's eve
ming dress that the pearl hunting indus
try is on the increase. The dealers in
pearls from the Concho River, in
Texas, are profting from this in
crease in the demand for pearls, and
the harvest brought from that locality
finds ready market in New York and
other large cities.
The demand for pearls from the
Concho River is of recent daGe, it
having required several years of hard
work to create market for pearls
from comparatively unknown local
ity. Men who are engaged in the oc-
cupation of pearl hunting along the
Concho find it profitable, as do others
who hunt along the tributaries of the
Upper Colorado River.

The city gardener of Springfield,
Mass, recommends that sidewalk
trees should be planted on the lawn
sides, and not on the curb sides of the
avenue, in cases where the houses are
set back, so as to allow of a small plot
in front of the sidewalk line. This
has some advantages. On the other
hand, with tree trunks so near to the
lawn, the roots would make the lawn
so dry, that not even grass would
thrive during hot summer weather.

trees could not be distinguished until
the travellers were close upon them.
Lions prowled about the party. one Of

as to have an alarming effect on the

seen, but they could be heard on all
sides. Reaching a tree. the men found
one of their comrades with rifle cooked
peering into the darkness, trying to
discover the whereabouts of the ami
mais. that could be plainly heard walk
ing among the leaves. A second man
was trying to relight half-eXtin-
guished torch. Still the lions could
be heard coming and going in the
darkness. At this point the ma
tive servant whispered the advice
to initiate the cry of wolves In
the distance. The party at once be-
gan barking and shouting. "Hu! hu!
hui" in an undertone, as if the pack
were still at a distance, while the man
at the camp made the same well-imi-
tated cry. The effect was instantane-
Gus. There was the sound of a rapid
stampede across the dry leaves. The
lions decamped in a panic, driven OH
by the supposed approach of a pack
