An official report OF the North Carolina
Pine Association in Norfolk, Thursday
says:
THE trade situation was fully dis
cussed and, upon tho whole, 1t was found
to be more encouraging than a month
ago, there being more inquiries for lum-
Der and more orders, both domestic and
foreign. together with a very small in
crease ot stock over that reported at tn"
meeting last month.
Taking it upon the whole it was not
deemed necessary to reduce prices, but
out OF caution and to make the situation
still stronger. it was decided to reduce
the output for next month 80 per cent.
This Will be done By closing down the
mills of Eastern North Carolina and Nir-
ginia two days oGt Of each week

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

The electric organ Of the Malapteru-
rus electricus, the formidable electric
fish Of the Nile, is situated in the skin
enclosing the entire body, and consists
OF rows Of compartments. each having
a peculiar protoplasmic disc with pro.
jecting stalk. The total number Of these
leaf-like discs is 100000. Each half
OF the organ Is connected TO a single
nerve fiber, and late investigations
show that the power OF the shock
reaching a maxium OF 200 volts In a
fish eight inches long-is due TO the
simultaneous development OF similar
electromotive changes in all the discs
The electrical disturbance in single
disc Is about the same as that In ordin-
airy nerves The shock consists OF a
rhythmlcal series Of rapid impulses, and
the interval between the shocks In
creases from tenth OF a second TO sew
