Valuable Philippine Forests.

The Philippine commission in Its re-
port on the forestry of the archipelago
says that the timber-producing trees
have been classified In order of their
commercial value as follows: Super
ior group, 10 species; first group, II;
species second group, 40 species; third
group, "a species; fourth group. 200
species; fifth group. 33 species; total
species, 3S5. II is certain that there
still remains more than 80 species not
yet classified. Included in this list are
very hard woods, capable of taking
beautiful polish; woods that resist eli
matte influences and are proof against
the attacks OF white ants: woods es-
pccially suited to use for set piling, on
account Of their imperviousness to the
attacks of teredo nnvalis, or for rail

Electricity on Modern Battleships.

Captain Folger of the Kearsarge
says that electricity does nearly
everything on that battleship except
to call the roll and scrub the decks.
Sixty different motors of 4S0 horse
power and $50 kilowatts furnish power
for every device that was formerly
operated by steam. The ship is wired
on the three wire system, so that the
motors can be operated at two volt
ages-160 and 1S0-which is anal
ogous to the use of 160 and $50 pounds
of steam. On the previous group Of
battleships-the Indiana, the Massa-
chusetts and the Oregon class-the
motors are only SO horse power and
72 kilowatts. On English ships the
use of electricity is still confined to
incandescent lights, searchlights and
signal apparatus. but upon the Kear-
sarge and the Kentucky steam pipes
are almost entirely abolished. All
this makes 1t necessary for the Of
ficers and sailors of the navy to have
thorough knowledge Of the electrical
science. and schools of instruction,
both for officers and enlisted men, with
electrical workshops. have been estab-
lished at Newport and at the navy
yards in New York City. Boston. Nor

Frictional Effect of Trains on Air,

An exceptionally important paper
dealing with the frictional effect of
railway trains upon the air has recent
ly been published by the st. Louis
Academy of Science. This inxestiga.
tion was undertaken by Professor f.
e. Nipher, at the request of a leading
railroad, and was the sequel of law
suit in which the railroad was defeated
In the case referred to boy, standing
near the track, was overthrown by a
rapidly passing train, rolled under the
wheels and killed. The evidence
showed that he was not struck by the
train, but was overwhelmed by the air
suction and dragged under. The su-
preme court of Missouri, however, re-
pudiated the evidence of two leading
scientific men as to the probability of
death being caused in such a way, and
denied, by inference, the possibility of
such effects, with which everybody who
has ever stood by fast moving train
Is familiar. The investigation showed,
as matter of fact, that with trains
going at the rate of 40 miles an hour,
there is an inward pressure of the air
of from four to six pounds per square
foot at distance of 80 inches from the
train. and that still air is reached only
at a distance Of many feet.

German Farmers Rely on Chemistry.

Recent reports to our department of
agriculture indicate that farming Is
conducted in Germany on more i'm.
proved and scientific principles than
anywhere else In the world, says the
Youths Companion. The German far
mers employ less machinery but more
chemistry. They pay very close atten.
ton to the fertilization OF the soil. Yet
with all their efforts and all the ad-
vantages of their advanced science
they are unable to fully supply the
demand of the population of Germany
for breadstuffs. They do supply sew
entlghths of that demand. but the rc-
naming one-cighth. which has 10 he
imported from abroad, amounted in
1899 to more than 50000.000 bushels
of wheat alone.

How Coal Is Made.

An interesting case of rapid trans.
formation of lockwood. or 'lignum
vitae" into coal has been reported by
Mr.. g.. Arth. The lockwood had been
inserted into the bronze footstep of
a 12-horse power Jonval turbine. which
was making 112 revolutions. The re-
vclving mass weighed about 900
pounds. The lockwood, on which the
steel pivot of the shaft rested. was
not always under water. but 1t would
always he wet When the turbine had
been running for six months some re-
pairs became necessary, and 1t was
observed that the lockwood had
turned black In its upper portion; the
wood was brittle. and the fracture
strongly resembled that of coal; many
assures were noticed. The lower por-
ton of the wood was not altered. The
black wood contained 30 per cent. OF
moisture. Dried in vacuo, II yielded
On analysis. 80 per cent. of ashes,
ass of hydrogen. 6o.I6 per cent. of
carbon. and the heating value Of the
dry material was found to he 1,1O6
calorics. The substance would thus
occupy an intermediate position be.
tween Ignite and coal. This trans
formation had been effected within
the short period of six months. and
the temperature could not have risen
TO any high degree. The change
would. therefore, appear to be due es-
sentially to continued friction of the
wet wood. The author concludes that
we need hardly believe in the long
periods which geologists demand for
the formation of our coal fields.-Moni.

Professor Vines of the British asso-
citation expressed recently his regret
that the century had closed without
bringing a solution of the much dis
cussed question of the ascent of sap.
One of the suggested explanations. he
said, requires that in tree 100 feet
in height the Transportation OF force
must equal a pressure of 800 pounds
to the square inch, but there is no
evidence that anything like such a
force exists in a tree. This is one of
the problems in science that the 10Th
century has bequeathed to the goth.
All snakes hibernate during the win
ter and are in so torpid a condition
during the period that they breathe
seldom during the "a hours. Small
ones seek for their winter refuge rot
ten stumps, hollow or partially de-
cayed logs. Larger ones hide in holes
in the ground and in crevices in rock.
Brought rrder the influence of fire
they revive. but usually die afterward
as result. The turtles, too, breathe
seldom while dormant. The land va
rieties burrow under hollow trees.
where there is an abundance of loose
mould, in order to escape the frost.
The water turtles retreat into the mud.
The direction of the rapidly rushing
torrent of air in the region of the high
est clouds is found at each station to
be due eastward across the United
States. and foreign statistics indicate
that it continues thus around the
entire world. If caught in this upper
current of air an airship or balloon
would continue to circumnavigate the
world. The ashes from Krakatoa, the
volcano. continued around the earth
for several years, and produced Won
derful sunset effects.
One of the disadvantages of mo-
tor driven ambuances has been that
they do not get the right of way as
easily as horse driven vehicles. The
familiar changing of the ambulance
gong and the sound of the Gathering
hoofs of the horses was always sure
to clear tn way promptly for an am
bulance. Now the ambulances have
been provided with electric lights
which do not differ materially from
those which other electric vehicles car
ry, and the result is that trucks or
wagons do not get out of the way as
quickly. 1t has been suggested that
compressed air whistles or larger
gongs might be used. A return to the
old foot gong would probably obviate
the difficulty to certain extent.
