RECENT NEW TIMBER TESTS
Government Agents Endeavoring to
Ascertain Best Material for
Variouy Purposes.

| It was announced q few months ago
that the bureau of forestry, in Wash
ington, intends to resume a series of
| tests OF the strength of various kinds
of timber which it began several years
ago. Information of that character
is, OF course, of great practical impor-
lance both to lumbermen and to build
ers. Some question has been raised,
however, concerning the quality of the
work already done. The Engineering
| Record, for instance, feels that the
tests previously made do not possess
the value they should. The proposed
| resumption of the investigations was
talked over at meeting of the Amer
lean Society of Civil Engineers last
summer, and the impression there pre-
vailed that no special change in the
| character of the work was necessary.
The periodical just referred to thinks
that that view Is a mistaken one. 1t
believes that the limited selection of
specimens for testing ION account Of
inadequate appropriations) was un.
fortunate. It goes on to say:
What is needed is not such a mar
row selection OF sticks of timber for
testing as to make it practically GER
tain that their quality will be mate
rally different from and better than
that of merchantable timber which the
engineer or architect must use in his
work. If there is one class of engi-
neering material in which the full size
pieces are more imperative for testing
than in any other, timber is that class
Whether beams or columns are the
subject Of investigation, not only full
size sticks should be used, but they
should be secured from dealers pre-
cisely as the owner of a building or q
contractor must purchase them. 1t is
we'll enough, indeed advisable, that
sticks seasoned by various methods
and to various degrees should be test
ed, but, above all, the green and i'm
perfectly seasoned conditions of actua.
use should not be avoided. Further.
more, such dimensions of full siz;
members should be employed as will,
develop the various phenomena OF re.
sistance and failure as they are found
in the actual use of timber in struc
lures This observation applies to sucl
features as the failure of relatively
short beams by longitudinal shearing
the independence Of the ultimate re-
sistance Of comparatively short col,
umns of their lengths, and other sim.
liar phenomena developed by testing
to failure"

Vaccination in Ancient Times.

A writer in the Madras Mail cites the
following passage from an ancient Hin

showing that Jenner was anticipated by
many centuries: Take the fluid Of the
peck on the udder of cow or on the
arm between the shoulder and elbow of
a human subject on the point of Ian
Get and lance with it the arm between
the shoulder and the elbow until the
blood appears; then, mixing the fluid
with the blood, the fever Of the smallpox
will be produced" s.s,4ss.szs.s.

back toward the big birch from whose
dark shadows she could have sworn

They set a watch in Mrs. behring's
room, which overlooked the grounds
to the south and the river to the west
but the apparition failed to appear.
They watched again on the following
night. Midnight, and nothing came.
Just as they were breaking up the
watch Aunt Phoebe, who had been
sitting by a west window, called ex-
eitedly.
Look! Look"
One of the young men sprang to
the window. He could see nothing
but Aunt Phoebe declared that she had
seen the white thing leap into the
shadow just beyond the tulip tree.
The whole household was by this
time becoming so demoralized by the
constant dread of some dire calamity
that Mrs. Deering determined to take
Atwood into her confidence.
The author laughed at first, but see

promised to make the ghosts &C

The closing days of Col. Frank A. Dill
linsham's stay in clarksburg have been
marked by some very interesting de-
velopments in connection with tie gem
era1 use of his splendid remedies by the
people Of this section.
Last Saturday afternoon Col. Diliing-
ham and his entertainers were holding
forth on Pike street, when a gentleman
who gave his name as G. A. Baker and
stated that he lived in Wetzel county,
came to the stand and requested Ter-
mission to make a public statement to
the crowd assembled. This was an un-
usual request, and one that is not often
made of Col. Dillingham;, but without
knowing what the gentleman wanted 70
say, he readily gave his consent and Mr..
Baker stepped up on the platform. He
began by saying that his wife had been
i'll for more than five years, that he
had spent hundreds of dollars for medi-
cincs and medical treatment, all to no
purpose, and that she gradually declined
until he had almost given up hope OF
of the Plant Juice remedies sold b. Col.

Plant Juice, and prevailed upon Mrs.
Baker to try it. She willingly did so,
but with the usual misgivings created
by the continual failures Of all other
medicines she had taken in the past
seven years. A few doses seemed to
give her relief. She kept up the treat
