ONE MeR F.

The material for exclusive and high toned societies isn't all absorbed yet. A movement is on foot to establish French branch of the Society ot the Sons of the American Revolution. The proposition is being encouraged by President Roosevelt, Secretary Hay and other high officials of the administra- ton. The matter was brought to the at- tention of the Washington authorities by Representative Martin of South Da- kota, who has a constituent of French ancestry and who is interested in the of the offshoot Of the American society. Some three years ago the French government undertook to collect the names Of the men who left that country to aid in the American Revolution. The work is now complet- ed and the list contains the names of over 10000 patriotic Frenchmen who fought with Lafayette and Washington together with the regiments and ships in which they served. The record is said to be complete in every detail, and will enable the present generation ot Frenchrnen descended from those who came to this country to fight for Ameri- can independence to trace their genealo- gy and establish their right to member ship in the proposed French branch of I the American society. A copy of the document printed by the
 French government has been placed i'll
 the hands of Secretary Hay, and 1t has | been proposed that it be printed and
 distributed to all the libraries through
 out the country. Representative Mar
 tin has conferred with the French am
 bassador in regard to the matter and
 has announced that he will introduce bill in Congress providing for the pub' Ilication of the list Of Frenchmen who
 came to the United States to fight in tht
 revolution.

AHANSAs PROBLEM.

Not long ago New Haven had a more or less complicated problem to solve be- cause the selectmen got things to eat and drink that some people thought ought not to be paid for with public money. Lyon county, Kansas, is now wrestling with a somewhat similar problem. The county commissioners refused to pay for some meals supplied to district court jury which had been kept in charge of bailiff by the orders of the judge. The case was referred to the county attorney. The county attor- ney said that in a matter so profoundly affecting the precious liberties of the people he must have the opinion of the attorney-general The attorney-gen- eraI handed down an opinion in which he said sensibly that the county is as much obligated to pay for food for the jury as it is to pay for fuel to keep them warm. But this only complicated the Lyon county situation. It plunged the county commissioners and the coun- ty attorney into perplexities which can only be unraveled by the attorney-gen- \ eral or the Supreme court of the United States. They cannot find in the consti- tuition any authority for paying for the fuel which keeps jury warm. They | will send delegation to Washington to demand hearing upon this vital ques- ton without delay.
 It is to be hoped that the question can be settled without an extra session of congress.

aooD WoOD FOR RAILROAD TIES.

The need of a substitute for wooden railroad ties is becoming more impera- tive e7ety year, because, although there has been a great increase ill demand the.e has Leen. no corr ,sDondir-g in- crease in the number of Iirst-class ties. Much ingenuity has been expended in search of the substitute in the last twenty-five years, and thus far without success. The railroads have been fore ed to make use of inferior timber, and of kinds which formerly would not have been accepted. There has, however, been an extended use of treated ties, the endavor being to make inferior wood more valuable. It is said that the life of a white oak tie has fallen from nine to Sour or five years, because of poor quality as well as the harder service. California redwood is rapidly worn by sand under the rails. Beech is worth less. Red oak is good for only four years. though by chemical treatment this and other woods may be made to last from ten to fifteen years, but it is difficult to secure thorough treatment which will last.
 Under such conditions Arboriculture thinks it strange that one variety of wood, native of the United States, has no. found wider use, as this wood is practically immune to the attacks of rot fungus. This is Catalpa speciosa, a pid-growing tree. The earliest rail- roads of southern Indiana, southern Illi- nois, and southwest Missouri were con- structed near the catalpa swa1nps, and whenever possible made use Of this wood, and engineers on these roads now have samples of ties which were in use
 fifteen or twenty years ago. Many Of these older ties have been removed, be-
 cause they were not thick enough for the new heavy rails, but when removed
 few of them were found to be badly de- cayed. Some of these ties have been
 in use thirty-one years, during which
 time five sets of white oak have de- cayed and been removed, but the catal-
 pa is sound to-day. Poles of this wood
 were also made use of for the telegraph
 lines and several hundred of them still lremain in use
