The value of the whole Is estimated

Most parts of Great Britain have
idiomatic expressions to denote left
handedness and they are often prefixet
to the unfortunate left-handed child's
name. In London the term is knack-
handed, the word being also equivalent
to awkward. In Lancashire it is k
paved, in Yorkshire gallock or gawk-
handed, an expression dating back to at
least the seventeenth century. In
Derbyshire are used the terms keg-
handed, cork-handed, or corky-handed
while in the Teesdale district cuddy-
handed is common, and in Nottingham
shire wallet-handed. In the south of
England special terms to denote left
handedness are also found. In Dorset
it is scrame-handed and in Devonshire
coochy-handed. In Scotland gawk-
handed is used and in the west cawry-
handed. In Ireland a left-handed man is
called kithogne.

TURPENTINE INDUSTRY.
Operators In the South Adopting New
Method Of Extracting TurpentIne.

The discovery of new way Of ex
tracting turpentine. made two year.
ago by DR.. Charles H. Herty. working
under the direction of the Bureau o
Forestry. is resulting in complete
Change Of methods by turpentine ope
ratore all over the South.
In a bulletin published last spring
by the Bureau of Forestry the claim
was made that the experiments with
the new cup and gutter system of tur-
pentining had resulted in an increase
over the old boxing system of % per
cent. in the amount of the product ex
tracted. This figure has now been
raised to more than 35 per cent. In
orher words, Dr.. Herty's system, when
universally adopted in the South. as it
is bound to be Sooner or late, will have
raised the turpentine production of
this country by more than third.
p nvided the same number Of trees are
used. Two years ago when DR. Herty
first made known bis discoveries he
put 10000 cups into operation. Last
year this figure was increased to about
400 900. This year conservative esti
mate places the number OF cups to be
used at 5000, 900. The figure give some
indication of the rapldity with which
turpentine operators are adopting the
new system. The change Of methods
has been so rapid that the pottery
company which undertook to supply
operators with earthen cups has been
unable to keep up with its orders and
has been obliged to refuse contracts
for over two million cups. 1t is safe
to say that the majority Of the large
operators in this country
have given up the boxing system and
will extract their turpentine by means
of cups and cutters.
The economic saving Of this new
discovery is enormous. 1t not only
great increase in the amount
of turpentine produced, but il is a
most important factor in saving the
pine forests in the South. Every one
knows that trees from which turpen.
tine has been extracted by the old
timber it is called
loon die from the wounds inflicted Oh
hem. The cup and gutter system. on
;he other hand, is not fatal to the life
II the tree, and does very little damage
% the timber.
The Bureau Of Forestry has arrang
d to give the personal assistance of
)r. Herty to turpentine operators who
lesire to install the new system.
