Wood ArtificiaIIy Hardened.

After prolonged series of expert.
ments method Of treating timber SO
as to secure even from soft wood a
largely increased toughness and hard
ness has been found. The process
has been described as vulcanizing,
comparable in some respects to that
OF the Bessemer process for convert
ing iron into steel, and is the inven-
ton of Mr.. Powell, a Liverpool mer-
chant.
Roughly speaking, the treatment to
which the timber is subjected is that
of saturation at boiling point with a
solution of sugar, the water afterward
being evaporated at high temperature,
The result is to leave the pores and
tinterstices of the wood filled in with
solid matter, and the timber vulcan
lied, preserved and seasoned.
The nature of moderately soft wood,
1T is claimed, is in this way changed
ito a tough and ha,d substance, with.
out brittleness, and also without a
tendency to split or crack. It is also
rendered remarkably impervious to
iwater. Hard wood similarly treated
derives similar benefit. It is claimed
that the process may be completed and
the timber turned out ready for use
n few days.

The Only WAY.

The Boston Herald says little re-
Election has brought the Democracy to
realize that not all the protectionists
are in the Republican party. This is
true. Many Democrat has seen the
efficacy of protection demonstrated
time and again until he has come to
see that, after all, it is the desirable
policy for this country to maintain.
Still. the leaders who will control the
course OF the Democratic party are
most of them committed to the very
opposite tariff theory, and If we are
to have any assurance of maintaining
the tariff protective policy, the only
way is to keep in power the party
that established it as the policy of the
government in opposition to the deter
mined resistance of the Democratic
leaders, shelbyville (Ind.) Republic

Peculiarities Attending and Preceding
Thunderstorms Noted.
A great cumulous thunderhead
cloud, towering up on the horizon
like huge flamboyant iceberg, is
often higher than the highest Alps
would be if they were piled on top Of
the Himalayas.
It is not unusual for these clouds to
measure five, six and even eight
miles from their fiat, dark base, how
ering mile or two above the world,
to their rounded, glistening summit,
splendid in the sunlight. And in these
eight miles the changes Of tempera-
ture are as great as those over many
thousand miles of the, earth's surface.
These clouds contain strata of tenn
perature, narrow belts of freezing cold
alternating with large distances OF
rainy mist and frozen snow and ice.
particles.
Hailstones, which are formed from
snow particle that falls from the up
per strata and is frozen hard in the
freezing belt and coated with added
ice on the wet belt, are often found
with a series of layers in their forma-
ton, showing that they have passed
through this succession of cloud stra-
ia more than once on their way from
the upper air to the earth.

LEARNING THINGS

We Are All In the Apprentice Class
When simple change Of diet
brings back health and happiness the
story is briefly told. A lady OF
Springfield, ILL.,, says: after being
afflicted for years with nervousness
and heart trouble, I received a shock
four years ago that left me in such
condition that my life was despaired
Of. ! could get no relief from doctors
FOR from the numberless heart and
nerve medicines tried because |
didn't know that the coffee was daily
putting me back more than the Drs.
could put me ahead.
Finally at the request Of friend I
left off coffee and began the use of
Postum and against my convictions I
gradually improved in health until for
the past 6 or months I have been
entirely free from nervousness and
those terrible sinking, weakening
spells Of heart trouble.
my troubles all came from the use
OF coffee which I had drunk from
childhood and yet they disappeared
when I quit coffee and took up the
use OF Postum" Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Many people marvel at the effects
OF leaving off coffee and drinking
Postum but there is nothing marvel.
GUS about it-only common sense.
Coffee is a destroyer-Postum is a
rebuilder. That's the reason.

little book, "The Road to Wellville."

GETTING HAIR CUT IN JAPAN.

Peculiar Doings of Very Serious Bar.

On returning to the hotel I INDUCED

time. Here you don't go to the barber

A very serious looking young Jap with
sober-hued kimono waiting upon me
at my room at the hotel, and undoing
his barberous instruments, deftly and
skillfully executed very good mod
ern hair cut in a very short time.
He did not tenderly rub his hand
over that little bald place on the
back of the head (most all old boys
have it) and enlarge on the virtues
of his inimitable hair restorer, and
tell you how much brighter life would
seem to you if you would only invest
in bottle of 1t, nor did he enlarge
on various themes to display his con.
versational powers, but confined him
self strictly to his professional work.
In some respects Japanese BARRIERS
are preferable to those of our coun-
try.
Possibly this superiority may arise
from the fact that as they do not
know our language they could not
indulge in the customary FAIRY per-
sifage" II they wanted to.-Brooklyn

Must Protect All Alike.

Those Republicans who are urging
free trade with Canada or with other
countries can scarcely accept the dec
iaration that protection is cardinal
principle of the Republican party.
Protection must protect all alike or it
is unfair. Reciprocity that proposes
to swap one industry away in order to
benefit another is not the reciprocity
declared for in the Chicago platform,
where it commits the party only to a
reciprocity that shall work no injury
to American agriculture, American la
Dor or American industry.Adel (Ia.)

TREE MOSQUITOES sHuN.
Native Of China Which Should Be
Worth Importing.

worth tmCorttu8s
M. de Parville, in the Journal des
Debats. announces a discovery which
should be Of interest to Jerseyites and
other dwellers beneath the curse OF
the mosquito-a tree which makes
things so unpleasant for the pestifer.
GUS little insect that it will not come
within radius Of q hundred yards
of the vicinity in which the tree
grows.
The tree is a native of China, and
its effect on the insect was discovered
by accident. In the English settle.
ment on the banks of the Si-Kiang
river one Of the houses surrounded
by these trees (called papaya) was
found to be free from the pest, while
the other houses In the neighborhood
were infested by mosquitoes. How
ever, after a cyclone, during which
the papaya were demolished, the in
sects appeared there in full force.
The papaya has also the property
of making meat tender when hung
in it's branches, and this, together
with the fact that the sap Of the
tree is used in medicine as an aid
to digestion, would seem to indicate
that its effect is semi-digestive.
