AT the opening of the Spanish war
there was one thing in which General
Miles was allowed to have his own
way 2utof the $4,000, 900 appropriated
by congress for the national defense
certain sum was allotted to the gen
eral OF the army to be expended as he
thought best A part of this sum
Miles devoted to carrying out an
original scheme OF his own. He CON.
ceived the idea of furnishing his army
OF invasion with a device which he be-
LEVIED would be of great efficancy in pro-
tecting them against the bullets of the
Zoe. He ordered the construction
cording to plans of his own of two
hundred shields the like of which had
never been seen in war. These shield.
were bullet-proof steel plates haunted
on an axle which a few men were to
push ahead OF them in the advance

OUR WOODED AREA.
Redwood Forests the Densest in the
World.

World,
The total wooded area of the United
States is said to be 1,094,496 square
miles, or 81 per cent. of the entire
area The lumber product is worth
annually 81 100000. The extent
of the lumber interest and the vital
connection between forest area and
climate, streams, water power, etc,
cause increased attention to be given
to forestry and to schemes such as the
proposed Appalachian forest reserve.
According to Pacific Coast Wood and
Iron the percentage of woodland areas
In the different states is as follows,
the areas given including the natural
timber in both farms and forests:
Maine has 20 per cent. of her area
covered by woods; New Hampshire,
5S; Vermont, 43; Massachusetts, So;
Rhode Island. 40; Connecticut, 80;
New York. SO; New Jersey, 49, Penn

Much of this woodland is of no use as
a source of lumber, but constitutes
part of the great firewood supply OF
the people.
Generally a rainfall map of the
United States is also a forest map,
for wherever there Is abundant rain
there is generally large timber. The
California redwood is a forest curios-
ity. 1t grows on comparatively low
country. where snow does not lie on
the ground Ia winter and where in
summer time the sea fogs keep it's
leaves moist. And It has never been
known to grow anywhere else in the
world. The redwood forests of Cal
ifornia are the denSest tree growth in
the world and the largest timber. A
single acre OF redwood timber has
yielded 100000 feet of lumber, and
trees have produced as much as l00.-
600 feet of lumber each.

popular estimate of their value is also
continually enhanced as time goes on.
Among the daintiest and most in
teresting of these highly distinguished
antiques may be classed the venerable
receptacle for tea. The old-fashionee
tea-caddy-or tea-chest as it sheuld
rightly be called-is now but seldom
seen, save as a curiosity. In days
gone by, however, the caddy was a
most important piece of domestic fur
niture. 1t was compact and strong,
and ofttimes deliberately wrought.

'Phoning Afar.

On very long circuits, and especially
in cables, where the capacity is much
higher than in overhead lines, this
blurring becomes so great that when
certain limits are reached speech be
comes unintelligible. For instance,
on the ordinary cables such as are
laid under the streets of New York,
about 40 miles is the limit Of easy con-
versation; beyond this distance con-
versation is more and more difficult,
until point is hortly reached where
it is impossible.
The essential point of DR.. Pupin's in

circuits until the evil effect of capacity
is balanced out. In other words, he

Elective MaiI-Box.

An electrician of Albany has applied
for a patent on an electric mail-box
which is intended for houses. 1t is
small, and is so arranged that when
the letter-carrier deposits a letter in
the box he presses a push-button,
which is connected with an anunciator
within the building. A drop comes
down showing the word Mail" The
household knows at once that the mail
is at the door. ANY mail for the car
rier is placed on the box, where there
is a wire rack for papers. The bat
terry is in the top of the box, and rot
in the house. It is readily accessible,
and requires but little attention, no
more than an ordinary electric door
bell.-New York Evening Post.

Liquid Air.

In creamery at Oswego, N. Y, an
experimental plant has been installed
and is being used in connection with
the making of butter. The plant con-
sists of apparatus for the liquid air,
an engine, a refrigerator, cooler and
a churn and separator. The liquid air
was placed in large tank and was re-
leased by valves from this tank to
generator, where the oxygen and nitro
gen are separated. From here it passed
to a 10-horsepower engine, which it is
stated operates satisfactorily. Before
the liquid air reaches the generator
it is conducted into a large refrigera-
tor, where the temperature is reduced
to 20 degrees below zero. The exhaust
from the engine, which is nearly pure
oxygen, may be used in connection
with the fuel On the end of the ex-
haust pipe being turned into a coal
stove in the room as an experiment
much heat was developed in brief
time. A small piece of live coal placed
in bucket full of coal and the ex-
haust turned into it very soon set the
coal in blaze.-Railway and Engi-
neering Review.

pipe greater so that the effect of the
collapsihe walls is lessened.
This is accomplished in practice by
inserting small coils in the circuit at
calculated intervals, the result being
the possibility of wave transmission
over it without distortion of the form
of the electric components. A land
line connecting New York and San
Francisco built on this principle would
probably work just as well as one
few miles in length does today-Ex-
change.
Electric Cooking.
Although cooking by electricity is
generally conceded to be the ideal
method. it has not been adopted to any
great extent chiefly because the APP
pliances have been expensive and not
because the current costs too much to
compete with coal, oil or gas. During
the last few years, however, there has
been good deal of improvement in
the cooking and heating apparatus,
and their cost has been materially de-
creased. One method of cheapening
is curious. Formerly a resistance
coil of metal wires was used as the
heating agent, and, while it was cheap
it was not durable. In the place of
the cheaper metals, gold and plati-
mum are employed, and while it may
appear strange that in order to les
sen the cost of apparatus the precious
metals are employed, when it is I'M
derstood that the method of using the
metals is the same as in glass and
chinaware decoration-that is, the
metals are laid on in solution, and are
SO thin that they are but from 1-3 to
ITO of millimeter in thickness-it
is not surprising. Notwithstanding
their thinenss, however, they are cap
able of sustaining high voltage or cur
rents and a degree of heat that would
consume ordinary wires.-Polytech-
nische Centralblatt.
