WARDS OFF The LIGHTNING,
Newly Invented Clothing Warrants
TO Protect dhe Wearer from
Electric Strokes.

1 Thanks to the researches of Rus
sian savant, man may now, like
Joye, defy the lightning's stroke. He
has invented a garment that is said
30 be a certain protection against a
stroke of the electric fluid. 1t IS
light and flexible and does not IN the
least interfere with the movements
of the wearer. The garment is made
of fine gauze, of brass threads, and
consists of a shirt and trousers that
reach below the feet. The sleeves

Boiled 1t Down.

An amusing story is told of the editor of
a go ahead London evening newspaper, who,
IN the eternal rushing to press to get
ahead of the opposition, was constantly I'M
pressing upon his reporters the necessity
for condensing all news.
A terrific boiler explosion had taken
place, on board big ship lying at Ports
mouth.
Get down there as hard as you cam
the l1:4O from London bridge you'll be
there soon after two and can just wire
us something for the fifth edition, but boil
it down"
And the reporter went. Soon after two
o'clock that afternoon they got wire from
him.

CAUSE OF sUNsCALD.
Trouble Due to Neglect in Protecting
Trees on South and West Sides
in winter Time.

We do not appreciate sometimes
what it means to neglect our trees.
Take q tree which is headed high, for
instance. The trunk of the tree is ex-
posed to the rays of the south and west
sun during the winter season, and
many persons think nothing OF this.
Yet tests have proven that the temper
allure of the bark on the southwest side
of tree trunk thus exposed is % de-
grees higher than the temperature OF
the atmosphere. This has been dem
onstrated by inserting a small Their
mOmeter beneath the bark. Now, sup
pose the temperature of the atmos-
phere is so degrees, which is frequent
ly the case in some days during the
winter, when the sun is bright. Add 23
degrees to this, and you have the tenn
perature of the bark at 70 degrees.
Now, at his atmosphere the bark can
start to grow, and the sap become ac-
tive. This condition exists during the
day, ont at night the temperature
drops, the bark is bound to be affected,
and damage results. A few days of
this condition, and by relaxing and con-
tracing the bark has become loosened
from the trunk and dies. Thus we have
the condition known as sunscald,
which many persons have supposed
was caused in the summer season,
when as matter of fact the damage
was done in'the winter. A sun-scalded
tree is then apt to be attacked by fiat
headed borers and other insects, and
the decay of the tree sets in. To have
protected the south and west sides of
the tree trunk from the direct rays of
the sun in the winter time would have
prevented this trouble.-Prof. Whit
ten, in Farmers Review.

Tho Passing of Forests.

Senator Alger recently sounded
note of warning about the rapid dis
forestation of the province Of On
tario. The enormous growth of the
pulp industry is one Of the causes OF
this. The pulp mills at Sault Ste.
Marie turn out $50 tons of finished
products day. which is itself an enor-
NOUS drain on the forests in that neigh
borhod. 1t is interesting to know
that the amount of lumber and tim
Der used each year by the railways of
this country is greater than the entire
annual manufactured output Of the
state of Michigan. Senator Alger says
that unless Ontario speedily passes
laws making it necessary to replant
land as soon as the first growth is cut
off the day viii soon come when the
Canadian forests will be like Michi-
gan's, practically worthless.

No determination was reached at the
meeting of the Eastern league at the Vic
toria hotel at New York yesterday as TO
whom the Baltimore franchise in the
Eastern league shall be awarded TO. The
court has decided that Hanlon, who
bought the property OF the American lea
que club in that city, is the owner. and

pected to appear at the meeting OF the
league today and present their case

chise in that city Goldman. who has an
option on the Montreal team, Will hold
the franchise in that city. The Mon
treal people do not want that city to be
dropped from tho league and have offered
Inducements TO remain. Hanlon wants
an Eastern league franchise. however.
The proposed new constitution was care
fully considered yesterday and Il was
stated the report Of the committee that
drafted this measure was acceptable as
whole to the members. but IL will not
be determined until the next meeting OF
the league. when the matter OF circuit
will be decided. Buffalo does not want
to enter into 10-year agreement, and
one other club does not regard the pro-
position with favor Manager StaIiings
says Buffalo will not enter into such an
agreement.
There Is rumor that the American
league has not been able TO secure
grounds at New York and there is
possibility Of Buffalo getting into the
American league, but this Is not seriously
considered. Among the rules decided on
yesterday was on limiting the number OF
players TO be carried by any club after
July to 10. and another was that within
80 days of the close OF the championship
season buy or secure the release of any
other Eastern league club and use that
