CHEYENNE. Wyo.. April 2.-The funeral
of Mrs. Helen NJ. Warren, the wife of the
senator from Wyoming. took place here to-
day.
Although coming to the capital from far
western state, both Senator and Mrs. War
rem were born in Massachusetts and lived
there until their marriage. Mrs. Warren
was the daughter of Mr. Matthew Smith,
one of the oldest and most highly respected
citizens of Middlefield. and was descended
from distinguished colonial ancestry. She
was endowed by nature with unusual gifts
of intellect and was given the advantage of
collegiate education at Mount Holyoke.
Immediately after her marriage she went
west with Mr.. Warren to Wyoming, where
she shared equally with him in his efforts
for statehood and the development of the
territory. Twice Mr.. Warren filled the
chief executive Office. and the gracious hos
pitality of the governors wife was famous
the state over. When Mr.. Warren under
took the race for the Senate in his first
campaign Mrs. Warren was his able sec
ond. She entertained most generously and
often laughingly told that during that mem
orable February she gave twenty-nine din
ner parties, although there We're only
twenty eight days in the month. While in
Washington their homes, on both Q street
and wyoming avenue, were notable social
Centers.
But Mrs Warren did not confne her ener-
ges to either society political interests.
She was active in numerous philanthropies
and charities. She was a member of sew
eral patriotic societies and was always de-
voted to her church. In the latter she was
president of the Ladies' Missionary Society,"
the everything adviser of its young peo-
pies circle and a most generous contributor
both in her home church and the one she
attended in Washington.
Personally Mrs. Warren possessed those
most desirable attributes of character, gen.
tie. gracious wOmanliness. and with them
she had an efficiency which gave her her
remarkable executive ability. She was an
ideal mother, devoted wife and was the
idol of both her husband and children. For
the past two years her health has been fail
ing in spite of the best medical skill of the
country. A year ago she went to stay with
her only sister in the hills of Massachu-
setts. thinking that thereby she might be
benefited, but the hope was ilIusive After
months of brave struggle, on last Friday
evening, surrounded by family friends, she
consciously but quietly fell asleep, resting
In the faith which reaches beyond the
grave.

To Europe by Land.

In IIarper's Harry de Windt tells
interestingly Of his expedition from
Paris to New York by land. The only
difficulty which he found insurmount
able was the actual crossing Of Bering
Strait on the ice. or this Mr.. dt
Windt writes
"The wintry aspect OF nature around
Boring Strait seemed TO predict a
late summer, and it looked as IL
months must elapse before the re
venue-cutter courteously placed at oul
disposal by the United States Govern
ment could come to our rescue. My
original idea was to try and cross
over the frozen strait at Cape Prince
of Wales "a feat never yet attempted
by a white man. but l found on ar
rival at East Cape, that the passage
is never attempted by the Tchuktchs
and only very rarely by the EslSimos
During the past decade perhaps
dozen of the latter have started from
the American side, but only third
Of the number have landed in Siberia
The distance from shore to shore is
about forty-ive miles. the Diomede
Islands being situated about midway
The strait is never completely closed,
for even in midwinter foes are ever
on the move, which. with broad and
shifting leads Of open water, render
a trip by dog-sled extremely hazard.
GUS. My experiences on the five miles
of drifting ice across which we were
eventually compelled to walk in order
to land on American soil inspired me
with no desire TO undertake the en-.
tire passage between the two con.
tinents."

COOLING A CUTTING TOOL.

The speed at which cutting can be
done in lathe depends largely on the
temperature developed by friction be-
tween the tool and the material. 1t
will not do TO develop so much heat as
to injure the tool Accordingly, water
or oil Is often used to prevent trouble.
An original and ingenious eXpedient is
described by A. l.. De Leeuw in the
American Machinlst Knowing that
the expansion Of a compressed gas pro-
duces cold and that the principle is
utilized in wholesale refrigeration he
made an interesting experiment.
He began by finding short bit Of
metal tube, just big enough TO sur
round his cutting tool for n short dis
tance In this eight holes were bored,
1872 inch in diameter, and focusing on
the tool about an inch from its point.
Then he provided a supply of COM
pressed air, under q pressure of sew
enty pounds to the square inch, and led
this into the holes in such way that
the eight jets would concentrate at one
spot. With a little experiment he adj
justed this apparatus so that the most
intense cold cansed by it would come
at the very point of the tool. Mr.. De
Leeuw thus concludes his story:
"The tool was lathe tool of ordin-
ary MusheU steel. The piece in the
lathe Ga sixteen-inch lathe, by the way)
was a nine inch ram of hydraulic
press, which was condemned to the
scrap heap on account of its hardness.
The cut was 5-l6 inch deep and with
1872 inch feed Gradually the speed
was increased until speed Of 1GS feet
a minute was reached. This proved to
be the limit, but not because the tool
gave out, but because the lathe refused
to pull at a higher speed. l then tried
a piece Of 3b-inch shafting. and ran
the speed up to 210 feet a minute,
when again the experiments had to be
stopped on account of lack of power
in the lathe. The chips coming from
the lathe were cold, and the tool, after
its severe trial, was colder than when
l started"

dial with index hands, which are
moved automatically from the running
gear of the machine.
The indicator is applied at either
front or rear wheel between the wheel
and the body of the vehicle. The
double dials show the speed from
either side. The index hand travels
forward and recedes, keeping pace
with the present speed of the vehicle,
while behind the index hand is an.
other, which travels forward so long
as the speed continues on the increase,

CHEMISTRY OF WOOD.

Varied and valuable work has al
ready been done by the Bureau OF
Chemistry in the Department of Agri-
culture, in Washington, but an extern
sion of its scope has recently been pro-
vided for at the suggestion of the chief
chemist. Dr.. II. w. Wiley. A special
laboratory, the first Of its kind in the
United States, has been opened, whose
object is to study problems immediate
ly connected with wood. These are
more numerous and important than
one might suppose, but a few Of them
may here be specified,
A bulletin from the Bureau of For
estry says that plans have been formu-
lated for the study Of the availability
of certain hitherto unused woods as a
source Of wood pulp. Spruce and pop
lar have so far been used for this pur-
pose, but the supply of these woods is
failing rapidly, and other woods will
soon have to be used. The various
woods will be subjected to the usual
methods Of paper pulp manufacture,
and the pulp produced will be studied
with reference to its yield and quality,
and tested as a basis for papers. A
study has also been planned of the
composition and physical characteris-
ties of the various papers, containing
either mechanical or chemical wood
pulp, which are found OIL the American
market. The ultimate object of this
work is the establishment of n paper
testing laboratory similar to that now
being operated by the German Govern
ment at Berlin. The necessity Of such
a laboratory is apparent when it is
considered that practically all official
publications are now printed on such
paper, and that the life of wood pulp
papers is, in general, very brief. The
need of certain standards Is self-evi-
dent, and it is hoped to establish and
enforce these for American papers, at
least where they are furnished to the
Government
A second line Of investigation which
Is in contemplation relates to the chem
ical composition and physical proper
ties Of American tanned sole leather.
Another will look into the adulteraton
Of turpentine. which is said to be prac-
ticed extensively, with benzlne and
rosin oil.
In connection with the methods of
kiln drying lumber which are now eX.
tensively practiced, the "dendro-chemi.
car' laboratory has been requested to
make a study Of the effect Of dry and
moist heat on the physical properties
of various woods. The information Sc.
cured in this investigation will be OF
practical value in connection with the
use Of lumber in buildings. This worL
