At Pendleton, Ore, and on several
farms in the eastern part of the state
of Washington, dynamite Is used TO
break up the hard pan" stratum just
underneath the surface. Good soil
and moisture are under the hard
pan"
In the sagebrush and alkali regions
this stratum of "hardpan" will not
let the moisture come TO the surface,
nor can tree roots and alfalfa roots
reach the moisture. So the surface is
dry alkal the mother of sagebrush
and nothing else.
The dynamiters believe that by
smashing this barren and rebellious
stratum they can make the moisture
come up and the roots go down.
Crops have been planted over a con
siderable tract of dynamited ground.
In the fall we shall know how good a
farmer dynamite is,-Eyerybodys

New Idea In RattleshIns-

United States authorities are serious
Iy considering the building of Col
Cuniberti's ideal battleship, which was
described in last years "Au the

laughed at, but it probably had a good
deal to do with our Lord Nelson class
armament, and after the Lord Nelson

Protection for x.Ray Operators.

Mrs. l.. Fleschman-Aschheim OF
San Francisco Is said to be the first
photographer to use a glass screen in
X-ray practice. She says a double
plate glass screen Is the most serv.
iceabIe device for preventing injury
to the operator and that it can be ap.
piled equally to radiotherapy and radi-
ography. After some experimenting
she ordered the construction after her
own plans of vertical plate glass
screen, 2 feet in width and reaching
to height of five and one-half feet
from the floor. During the last four
months the screen has been in con-
slant use in her laboratory. While
operating she keeps it between her
body and the tube whenever II Is pos
siblc, her exposed hand being pro
tected by the usual rubber glove. She
has found that the heavy plate glass
screen possesses all of the advantages
of lead plates in preventing the pass
age Of the rays, with the important
addition of permitting an unobstructed
view of the subject and of the X-ray
tube in order TO Judge of the intensity
of the ray. Glass is Opaque to the
%-rays in greater or less degree &C
Cording to its thickness. Lead, alum
inium, iron and copper resist the rays
to a great extent. Even the clothing
has slight protective effect

RattIesnake seminoIes' Messenger.

Great CONSERVATION was created
among the members of the Seminole
council at Wewoka yesterday, when
large rattlesnake glided into the
tent where the assemblage was being
addressed by the attorney OF the ma
ton, Capt. A. J. McKennon. Capt. Nc
Kennon was about to kill the snake,
when one of the councilmen stopped
him, explaining in broken English:
Him rattlesnake; he come down to
Seminole council; no other snake do
that. He sent by Great Spirit. He
go South; that mean Mexico. We
must all go Mexico soon"
The captain was told that the rat
tlesnake had long been a messenger
to the Seminole tribe from the Great
Spirit. They told him that just be-
fore their fight with Jackson in the
South. many moons ago, a great rat
tlesnake crawled from the bank of a
lake and came into camp. The medi-
cine man assembled and told the
members of the tribe that great trou-
BILE was about to come upon them.
They would have a great fight and. IS
the snake went west, a part OF the
tribe would be driven west. They
said that the rattlesnake had been
looked upon as messenger ever
since.-Muskogee correspondence of
