WEALTH FROM WASTE.
Products in the Pine Woods
of the South.

".The price at which the long-leaf
pine forests of the south are now
held makes it impossible for man
of small means to secure site for
the manufacture of turpentine and
resin," said A. c. Chalmers, of At
lanta. "The drawing of the pine
juice for making turpentine and
resin has been very injurious to the
forests under the system formerly
considered much better. Prof. Harry,
of the government bureau of for
estry, recently perfected a system for
gathering turpentine and resin that
it is believed will be the means of
saving a large number of trees. He
used system of cups, which are
driven into the trees to catch the
juice, instead of boxing in the trees
rs was formerly the case, which
means that millions of dollars can be
taken from the forests and still leave
them intact for lumber purposes.
Even after the turpentine and
resin is extracted there remains a
NINE OF wealth on large portion OF
the territory in the shape of fat
light wood which is to be found in
the limbs, upper part of the trunk
which has not been used for logs and
the stumps and roots of these trees.
This light wood is said to contain
many by-products which can be had
by first subjecting it to a severe heat
in cylindrical retort, the opening
for charging being tightly sealed and
the gases being allowed to escape
from the top of the retort, after
which they are condensed by the use
of copper condensing worms. The
| product thus obtained is separated
in another still and made ready for
the market. The principal product
is about 35 gallons of turpentine
| from each cord of the light wood.
Tar and grades of oil which contain
valuable medicinal properties are
also secured. Plants doing this work
bring thousands of dollars into the
country out of material which had
been SO plentiful that it was not CON
sidered profitable to gather for the
market. "-Washington Star.

eff many people have the same ex-
periences with the scientific branches
of the government that have come
to me- said well-known resident
of this city to-day, Il feel sure there
will be created sentiment in favor
of these institutions that will result
in their still greater development.
In 1893 l made a loan on Mime

of the scientific branches of the gov
eminent, "and put away in my
strong box a mortgage which was to
give me good deal of concern after
Il couple of years. For that length
of time l received interest on the
notes regularly, but then it stopped
coming and inquiry developed the
fact that the farm was worth very
little and that an. attempt at fore
closure could result only in my TAX

value to anyone. AS the years rolled
Ivy | came to look upon the invest
ment as lost. The farm was shown
to be utterly worthless for the rails

by the people in that section as so
much desert land would have been.
"A few years ago the department.
of agriculture went to work experi-
menting in that section of the conn

TUNNELING MADE SAFE.
System of Tubes Employed Which
Freeze the Earth Before Ex-

1t is well known to railway and min
ing engineers that one of the greatest
obstacles TO be overcome in eXcavat-
ing or tunneling is the quicksand and
other soft water-bearing earth, which
fills up openings as fast as the earth
is removed, making it necessary to
employ special means to stop the flow
until the work is completed. There
has recently been invented by New
York man new method of dealing
with soil of the above character, which
makes use of the same principle which
is applied so largely to the cold storage
plants, which have become almost
necessity in maintaining our food sup
ply. In the drawing only a general

the abiding place of these little desert

dead for about year, it splits longi-

little bushes seen all over the ground
in the picture are greasc-wood. To
illustrate this characteristic of desert
foliage, the pepper tree, native of
Peru, found through Mexico and Cali
fornia, rarely presents the dusty ap-
pearance observed on cultivated trees
which have been introduced here
from moist climates. This is due to
the quantity OF volatile oil in the
leaves which constantly explodes, re-
fe4ljng the dust.

MAIL ORDER FRAUDS.
Clever Schemes for Bleeding Guilt
BILE Newspaper Readers.
Post Office Bureau of Inspection Kept
Busy Investigating All Sorts Of
Dishonest and ALLURE
ing ssAds."
Especial Chicago letter.

THE alleged frauds in the post Of
flee department now being aired
at Washington are supposed to
involve hundreds Of thousands of dol
lars. The whole country was surprised
when the enormous sum-$10, 900 here,
$4,000 there-were mentioned as frac-
tions in the supposed corruption fund.
Vet this is but bagatelle compared
with the simply gigantic frauds inves-
tigated every year by the inspection OF
Uncle Sans mail.
Swindles aggregat:ng $15,00O,O00 to
$2O,000.0O0 are unearthed every year by
the post office inspectors, and proven
in court. Thefts by letter carriers or
post office clerks constitute only a
small portion of this. The greater part
of the frauds is perpetrated by So
called business men, who use the mails
for schemes that draw the dollars out
of the pockets of gullible folks month
after month, year after year, by the
same old schemes.
A corps of 200 inspectors, as species
of special detectives, is employed all
over the country hunting down these
swindlers.
The post office bureau of inspection
has Is divisions. BY far the largest of
these has its headquarters at Chicago.
Col. Stuart inspector general here, has
80 inspectors under him and investi-
gated last year 10000 cases of alleged
frauds. New York city, the second
largest, had 10000 cases, handled by 16
inspectors. The enormous work of the
Chicago department is due partly to
the fact that the city handles more
mail than any other.
I'VE closed up the business of thou
sands of swindlers right around Chi
cago last year." said Chief Clerk Il. j,
Holmes, of the Chicago department.
1T is no eXaggeration to say hat the
swindlers got several million dollars
out of the pockets of the people"

the swindles are going on at this very

John Sparks, the only Democratic
Governor elected last fall in any of
the northern states, has been won over
to the side of Theodore Roosevelt
Introducing the president t his aud
fence in Carson, the Governor of Ne
vada said:
Ladies and gentlemen: We have
with US today our president; our SOL
dier. He is not the first president
that we have had that was a soldier.
General Washington was a soldier;
General Grant was a soldier and Am
erica's grand old man, Andrew Jack
son was a soldier. We have. l think,
the second Andrew Jackson with us
today. In time OF war he, too, was
a soldier. In time of peace he is a
peacemaker and a hard worker-a
leader. There is not money enough
in the world to influence or buy one
hair Of his head. AS l say. he is a
leader, and he is leading US to pros
perity. Under his administration we
will continue to enjoy prosperity"
Here are two statements which en-
rolls Governor Sparks in the Repub-
hcan column. First Roosevelt's ad-
ministration makes for prosperity;
second, the president is absolutely
above reproach in his administration
of public affairs. With a few more
declarations of that kind from the
chosen leaders of Democracy there will
be no necessity Of holding a national
election next year. The Republicans
will nominate and the Democrats ac-
quiesce.-Ogden Standard

well prepared for the weather. He was
wearing a broad brimmed hat, a mack
intosh over his suit of clothes and his
trousers legs were in his rubber boots.
The members of the family, wishing to
remember him as he looked when last
he bade them goOdby, employed a man
about the same size and build as Mr..
Reighter to have his photograph taken
in the clothes last worn by the de-

the idea they replaced the head on the
photograph with the head OF a likeness
