ARE METALS uALIVE7n
Experiments Show Them to Be Sensf-
tive to Irritation Just as
Animal Nerves Are.

BY an ingenious device a visible
and ocular demonstration can be given
OF the fact that a nerve has the power
to convey a message of sensitiveness
II at any intervening part of the nerve
galvanometer be attached, and the
end of the nerve be pinched or other
wise irritated, then Immediately the
needle of the galvanometer will be de-
fected-thus showing that the irrita-
ton of the nerve causes current like
that Of electricity to be sent along it..
1t is upon this fact (now we'll known
to scientists) that Prof. Bose bases his
Investigations.
HE starts" as explained by A. Sa-
rath Kumar Ghosh, in an article on
Life in Metals" which he contributes
to Pearson's, from that known fact
namely, that a galvanometer can re-
veal the sensitiveness of animal mat
ter to external irritation-and makes
ferent metals. to ascertain if they,
also, will respond to similar irritation,
and If that response can be made Wis
IDLY manifest in like manner by means
of the galvanometer. The results he
obtains are startling.
''The first result is that all metals
show visible signs of sensitiveness un-
der irritation, such as twisting or tap
ping, exactly in the same manner as
animal muscles and nerves do-the
greater the irritation, the greater the
visible signs of sensitiveness. Nay,
more; every single popularity in the
irritability of animal matter is exact
ly reproduced in the case of metal"

HUMAN ILLS DUE TO SOAP. !
Interesting Dtscussion-views
of the Specialists

A short letter printed in the London
Times stands out among such all-ab-
sorbing topics as the possibilities Of
war in the near or far east, the fiscal
question and other matters of grave in
terests. The writer of this letter refers
to the announcement that royal COM
mission is about to be appointed to in
vestigate the physical deterioration of
the English people
He proceeds, says the New York Sun,
to declare the conviction that this
deterioration is due to the excessive use
of soap, which removes the natural oil
given by the Almighty to protect the
body, and, thus exposes it to rheuma-
tism, chills, disease and dirt.
The writer boasts that he has not
used soap for 30 years, while all the
time he was doing the hardest kind of
work at sea, and yet he never had a
twinge of rheumatism or any other all
ment
The appearance of this letter was the
signal for general press investigation
into the philosophy Of soap. Physicians,
dermatologists, complexion specialists
and even recruiting sergeants have been
interviewed on the subject, with the re-
suit that soap CONS forth victorious
and is declared to be an absolute neces-
sity of life under modern conditions
The Lancet admits that soap is not
calculated to make the skin supple, be-
~ I'll L.,k
cold cream is a remedy for this.
Nevertheless" said the Lancet, mot
few people manage to maintain per-
sonal cleanliness without the use of soap
at ALL"

CARPENTRY IN THE FAR EAST.
Artisans In India, China, Turkey, and
Adjacent Countries, Do Clever
Work with Primitive Tools.

In our big lumber mills, where great
pine sticks are reduced to kindling in
a few minutes, the millman is merely
required to see that the stick is Sc
cured straight in the carriage He
would be bewildered, says Andrew Ap-
pleton, in Everybody's Magazine. if
compelled suddenly to follow the Phil
ippine method of lumber reduction.
There the largest sticks are sawed by
hand. Even woods as hard as teak
are set up on frame, and two labor
erss monotonously pull big band-saw
through its tough length for days and
days until they have produced the
slabs of which eastern furniture is
made. Our modern carpenter is little
more than joiner of parts. The in
tricate holdings and headings come
ready finished and all he has to do is
to put them together. But the car
penter of the far east receives the
wood in the rough, exactly as it is left
by the bandsawyer. He must carve
his holdings before they can be
placed in the houses. In India, China,
Turkey, Syria and adjacent countries
these clever artisans may be seen
working with tools as primitive al
most as those used in the days before
America was discovered.

The Strength Of American Tlmbers.

Timber tests which shall determine
tho strength Of the principal American
timbers used for construction purposes
are now in progress at Washington,
ID. G.. at Yale University, New Haven
Conn. at Purdue University Lafayette,
Ind. and at the University of Califor.
MA, Berkeley. Cal. These tests are
made under the direction Of the Bu-
,au of Forestry, and are for the bene-
fs of lumbermsn, construction eng1-
neers, ,1and scientific men who are in
terested in the strength of different
wood fibers. The Bureau Of Forestry
plans from the results of its tests to
make tables Of the strength Of differ
ent American woods to which the en-.
glneer may refer when he wishes to
know what timbers to use for certain
purposes The tests will be in CROSS
bending and breaking, compression
with and against the grain, and shear
ing.
No complete and satisfactory series
of tests on large sticks of timber has
ever been made in this country. Lum-
bar manufacturers in the South andthe
Pacific Coast States are especially in
terested in this work, since they wish
to know more about their product.
They have contributed gratis much Of
the materlel used In the tests.
The chief timbers now being tested
are the Southern pines and the red frs
OF the Pacific coast. In the laborator-
les at Washington tests are now In pro-
gress on loblolly pine sticks II feet long
and by IA, 8 by 8. and by inches.
Special attention is given to the effects
of moisture on the strength Of wood.
In the case of loblolly pine which has
grown rapidly, the strength was found
to decrease 80 to go per cent after the
dry wood had been soaked several days
in water. The fact, however, is not
yet established and will have to be
proved by further experiments. The
tim bers tested are of the usual grade
purchased in the market and are no
selected pieces.
At the laboratory of the Yale Forest
School in New Haven small selected
pieces of long leaf pine. wiehout knots
or other defects, are being tested so as
to learn what is the ultimate strength
OF the fibers.
At Berkeley. CAL, tests are being
made on red fir from timbers cOntribut-
ed by red fir manufacturers.
DR.. W. K HIATT, who is stationed at
Purdue University, is carrying on
series of tests there with hardwood
timbers and is preparing for pubIica.
tion the results of all the tests of the
Bureau.

The Useful Alligator.

The value of alligators in the economy
of nature was recently demonstrated in
Florida Hunters having decimated
the alligators, the muskrats on which
the saurians feed began to multiply.
They honeycombed with holes the river
levees. These holes caused leakage, the
leakage caused breaks in the banks and
great destruction of property resulted
California has no alligators, but many
cousins of the muskrat. Hitherto they
have been exceedingly troublesome to
the farmers along the Sacramento. A
remedy for these burrowing rodents is
now announced-oil. 1t not only drives
away the gophers and squirrels, but
according to Stockton experimenters, re-
tards the washing away of the banks
by water and the loss of the loose earth
at the top by high winds. The oil is
applied hot from barge in the river,
and contracts have been let for extern
sive oiling.

 BORN, to Mir. and Mrs. E. H. Patten, on Sept 5th, boy. Being the first white child born in Windham Bay, the miners treated the little, stranger to handsome present.
 The Golden River Placer Company have 40 it. of their tunnel completed. They have 50 it. more to drive, which they expect to finish before winter sets in.
 Ben Johnson is the only farmer in Windham Bay; he has piece ofground fenced and planted in potatoes. Ben says that one bushel of Alaska potatoes is worth five of any other kind.
 The Windham Chief Mining Co. have got their two stamp mill completed. This mill is built on the Apache claim, above timber line and just below the Spruce Creek glacier. The company built this small mill in order to thoroughly sample the rock and find out how large a mill the property will jus tify putting up.
 A dredger from Seattle will be here in about two weeks, to work Shuck river and Silver creek beds. Shuck averages about 20 cents to the yard and Silver creek 30 cents. There is gravel enough in these two streams to keep dredger running for three years. They will also try the flats on both sides; if they can make them pay they will have ground enough to last for five or six years. J. H. K.

Has Troubles Too.

In Spain Walter Williams, who, by the way, is near relative of Judge l.. l.. Williams of Alaska, called upon the editor of provincial journal to explain the press parliament, and asked him to give the subject notice. The Spanish editor said he would be delighted, and on the following day MT. Williams read something like this:
 "Mr. Walker Williams of the United States has purchased the state of Louisiana and next year will give a celebration, to which he invites his fell low journalists of Europe"
 Mir. Williams hastened to the Ameri- can consul and between them they convinced the editor that correction was necessary. The result was the following terse statement.
 "Governor Francis of Missouri has purchased a large tract of land in the great American desert and MT. Walker Williams is here to invite the journal ists of Spain to show which the gov- ernor will give next year.
