the buoyancy is much increased while
the bather is in an upright position
and treading the water. As will be
seen, there is a toe cap, to be slipped
over the end of the foot, with an anklet
to hold it in place and aid in support
ing the right bar to which the propell-
ing wings are attached. A moments
study of the picture will make it plain
how the wings are operated by the mo-
ton of the feet through the water.
These wings are hinged on either side
of the central support, and when the
foot is being drawn up in position for
the next stroke the fiat blades fold to-
gether, and offer little or no resist
ance to the water. When the return
movement begins, the water opens the
blades and they present a broad, fat
surface, with which the swimmer can
obtain great leverage on the stroke.
AS the device is constructed almost
entirely of aluminium, the weights not
great enough to Inconvenience the
wearer when he is walking, and the at
tachments offer no discomfort while
in the water, rather affording enjoy
ment by the increase in speed which is
thereby attained.

WEALTH FROM WASTE.
Manufacture Of Turpentine ana b..
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 q 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
In vogue, but which now believe is
considered much better. Prof. Harty,
of the government bureau of for
estry, recently perfected system for
gathering turpentine and resin that
it is believed will be the means of
saving 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
as 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
mine 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 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 IS 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
Observation-Disclosures Star.

In the meantime the young aristo-
erat who had taken her home in his
buggy called to ask if she had recovered
from the accident, and had fingered
for half an hour, cha tting with her and
watching the wonderful play Of color
in her cheeks. Upon leaving he had
asked her if she would not like another
spin behind the handsome team which
had so nearly caused her death.
ooh, that would be lovely" she ex-
claimed. <.
So it happened few evenings later
she enjoyed long ride in the stylish
turnout and her pretty little head was
nearly turned with the Joy of it all.
Only once or twice she observed him
looking at her in way that brought
the blood to her cheeks and gave her
touch of uneasiness.
Thomas Knapp was sober over the
ride-so much SO that she became
trife angry and they had quite tiff
about it.
"There is never any good comes from
the attentions of such as he to girls in

This made her furious and she dis
missed her blunt admirer with scant
courtesy. But she thought Of what he
said great deal and it rested like
great weight in her heart and con-
science. So when he called again, she
was all smiles to make up for her
frowns and Tom was transported to
the seventh heaven. And when some
days later Chester Eddy sent servant
with note saying he would call for
her for another ride on the following
evening she sent back word that she
could not 60.
In the meantime Tom Knapp had
been pressing his suit assiduously and
she grew to like him better every day.
He was good mechanic and made am
pie wages. She began to think now and
then of little white cottage in the
suburbs with green blinds and lace cur
tains, and rest from that dreadful
store.
Some days after her rebuff Mr.. Eddy
appeared and playfully demanded an

Joined quietly, but we cannot meet as
equals and any other relationship is
dangerous misunderstanding. You
would not want1y your associates or-or
your family to see You with me-"
His gray eyes looked into the black
ones questioningly-then the line of
vision changed to the window through
which they glanced thoughtfully. He
changed the subject abruptly and soon
after departed and she saw him no more
for many days.
In the meantime she evaded
Toms opportunities to give him
an answer to the all-importan ant
question he had propounded.N The
step into the other world had given
her glimpse of life which had upset
her contentment with her own sur
roundings and associations She could
not bear to tie herself forever to the
life she had always known. Still she
liked Tom immensely and knew he
would ever be her willing slave.
In the midst of these cogitations
Chester Eddy came to her one evening.
Depositing his hat and gloves on the
table he came straight across the room
and took both her hands in his.

there was new light in his eyes, -

It 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'a 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 q

III many people have the same ex-

of the government that have como

of this city to-day, II feel sure there
will be created a sentiment in favor
of these institutions that will result
in their still greater development.

strong box mortgage which was to
give me good deal of concern after
couple of years. For that length
of time I 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 taxi
ing possession of property of no
value to anyone. AS the years rolled
by / came to look upon the invest
ment as lost. The farm was shown
to be utterly worthless for the rais-
ing of wheat and it was looked upon
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 coun-
try, the result of their investigations
being that that particular farm. to.

clared to have the finest soil and

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

The first effort to make steel by U.S.
ing electrical heat was that by Sic
mons, in 1879. he designed for this
purpose an electric arc lamp furnace,
in which the arc was formed between
coal and the metal contained in q
crucible OF graphite as electrodes.
A scientific examination Of the oil
deposits i'm the great coast prairie ex-
tending from Louisiana through Tex.
as to Mexico, distance of several hun
dred miles, has recently been made by
Prof. r. T. Hill, who describes his re.
suits in the Journal of the franklin
institute. The oil was first struck in
1901 by drill hole driven 100 feet
deep, through clay and quicksaid. More
than 200 wells are now in operation.
and one has been sunk to a depth OF
more than 5000 feet. Sometimes hot
water is struck below. the oil, and
sometimes the oil itself is hot. The
deeper it is found the more salt the
water is.
A most striking example of delicacy
in weighing has been referred to by
Mr.. J. A. Brashear, the widely known
instrument maker. At the interna.
tional bureau of Standards near Paris
is balance mounted in q vacuum in 4
heavy glass case, and provided with
mechanism for handling the weights
from a distance great cough to give
security against influence of the heat
of the body. So perfectly made are in.
strument and accessories that when
two kilogramme weights are placed
side by side on each pan the indicator
finally comes to rest at zero. But when
one of the weights in one pan is placed
upon the other the indicator shows
the opposite pan to be slightly the
heavier, the almost incredible explana-
ton being that one weight is made
lighter by its slight increase of dis
tance from the earth's center.
