serves the pur-
pose admirably. Two eveners of oak
had been previously broken in the
same service proving the practical
utility of the catalpa. The immensity
of the demands for timber by
by railroads may be realized from the
following figures:

Where shall they be obtained? OF
what will they be made? What will be
their cost? These are pertinent ques-
tions but are capable of intelligent So
luton.
The catalpa tree will make the ties, in
sixteen years growing to size that will
make five ross-ties, which will last for
thirty five years.
Upon almost every railway right of
way may be growing $40 trees to each
mile of track, omitting the inside line
of curves, but planting one row of trees
upon each side the track, and 40 to &c
feet from center, trees one rod apart.
In sixteen years this will provide 5000
ties, being enough to relay the mile OF
track.
Since the catalpa renews itself from

shoots grow very rapidly with the we'll
established roots to support the new
growth, the trees would be permanent,
and fully supply all requirements for
ties, fence posts, telegraph poles and
lumber.
By cutting a portion each year the
avenue would remain unbroken.
An avenue 900 miles long! AS many
railway lines are of much greater
length than this, it would be one of the
happiest views which America could
possess.
Transportation of ties for long dist
ances now constitutes a large portion of
the cost. This may be entirely elimi-
mated by growing them where they are
to be used.
One year old trees are always used in
forest planting, and these may be had
at from $500 to $500 per 1000 trees.
The utmost care should be observed
in obtaining the hardy western catalpa

with the seed, by
all means purchase one year plants.
In growing plants the seed should be
drilled in nursery rows about 25 or 30
per foot, with rows feet apart, covered
very lightly, kept clean from grass and
weeds, and transplanted the first year.
There are 10000 seeds to pound.
Thorough cultivation is essential. In
the autumn when the wood has ripened
they are taken up, tied in punches of
100 and heeled in for the winter. In
spring, with the ground well prepared,
furrow out deeply rows eight feet apart,
and plant trees eight feet in the rows,
the intermediate spaces being cultivated
in potatoes, corn, or some non-vining
vegetable. Neither weeds nor grass
should be permitted to grow; sod Of
grass will quickly ruin the catalpa.
The trees will thus form tall upright
trunks, with few branches. After the
fifth year the shade and falling leaves
will protect the tree, without further
cultivation; it may be sooner. By the
eighth year all trees should be removed
except the permanent stand, not closer
than 16x16 feet, in order to give room
for the roots and each it's share of
moisture. This will give ITO permanent
trees per ecre.

evident intent Is to convey a meaning
that three.fourths of the entire Chicago
sewage is entering the river ut the
present time and is being disposed of
by the drainage channel before reach
ing Peoria, for without saying In so
many words that 1t Is three-fourths the
writer of the article endeavOrs to create
an impression to that effect.
The sewage draining into the north
branch Is, undoubtedly, three'eighths or
one-half of the three-quarters OF the en-
tire sewage which the editorial infers
Is disposed of by the drainage channel.
This portion Of the sewage enters the
north branch and has no appreciable
outlet therefrom into the south branch

Is explained by allowing 1t to remain
and accumulate there.
Another portion of Chicago drains
into the south branch of the south

city on the South Side south of TWEEN

the machine. In addition to the gases
generated, these products are obtained
from 1900 pounds of sawdust, namely:
Char, 100 pounds; acids, $50 pounds;
water, 24S pounds; tar, 1872 pounds.
No record was kept OF the gases, but u
test was made Of them for heating

be superior to coal gas, except that
they are unpleasantly pungent. Hhis,
however would not have been the case
had the gases undergone a purifying
process.
While the acl, :, tar and char We're
the products sought, the gases are I'M
dOubtedly of commercial value. Some
twenty establishments In Europe make

six In Germany, twelve In England,
and one in France and one In Belgium.
The sawdust of some wood Is better
than that of others for this purpose.
Yellow ana white pine, dried, contain

cent. There is large planning mill In
North Carolina where no fuel Is used
but sawdust. 1t Is first dampened and

Harry Corson, q mischievous four
year-old was in Loring park at Min
neapolis, Mimi, with his grandfather,
who generally looks after the little
fellow. Harry, sturdy little chap,
was especially delighted with the
swans. The child was playing with
them, having much amusement watch
ing them sail around and poke their
long necks over the edge OF the gravel
beach. After awhile he began pelting
the swans with sticks. they yenturing
close, not fearing the attack.
Suddenly the largest swan ruffied
his feathers, and, mad with rage, made
a dash and seized the child in its
strong beak. Harry struggled for an
instant, but, strong as he was, the
huge bird splashed its wings ia the
water, throwing up water in its rage,
and with swift and sure strokes
dragged the child out into the water
toward the center Of the lake. The lit
tie fellow was too frightened to make
further outcry, and for q moment the
onlookers were paralyzed at what
seemed to be an impending tragedy.
The swan had become thoroughly
enraged and was evidently attempt
ing to drown the child Twice the lt-
tie body was forced under the water
by the strong neck Of the bird and be-
fore rescuers had reached the pair
they were 20 feet out from shore.
Even then the maddened bird strug-
gled with the men, reluctant TO give up
the fight, and blow was necessary to
make it release the child. The little
fellow was carried 10 the office Of
physician. where be was restored 10
consciousness.
