Trees Poisoned.

A gardener discovered the fact that
trees are often sent to an untimery
death by poison, usually arsenic. The
reason for this does not appear until
one hears the mans explanations. Sup
pose man has rented a house which
has too much shade, the law win not
allow him to have one or more Of the
trees cut down without the consent Of
the owner AS it often happens that
tenants and landlords hold different
views on the subject of shade. the trees
remain a bone of contention. 1t is then
that the gardener is called to admin
lister dose of poison for when a tree
is dead the tenant may have il re-
moved. Five cents worth of arsenic
is sufficient to kill large tree. A hole
is made in the trunk, arsenic dropped
in and nature does the rest. 1t never
fails.

THE ELECTRICAL CRANE.
A Wonderful Labor-Saver. the Use
of Which Is Daily Extend
ing Itself.

Nothing that has come into machine
shops. foundries, rolling-mills. ETC., OF
late has been anything like SO much of
labor saver as the electric crane. and
Its use is daily extending in a most
remarkable way.
The block Of steel which constitutes
the magnet is suspended from the hook
OF the crane, and becomes magnetic or
loses its power when a direct current
OF electricity is allowed to energize the
magnet or is cut off.
A flexible twin conductor cable is
used to convey the current to the mag
net and small switch operated by the
crane man is usually the only addition
al apparatus necessary. The amount of
current used is small, being from one
to II amperes, according to the service
for which the magnet is designed.
In operation, the magnet is lowered
upon the material to be lifted. and the
switch is closed, thus causing the mag
net to attract and hold the material,
which may then be hoisted by the
crane and transported to the desired
point BY simply opening the switch
the current is cut off, the lifting block
loses Its attracting power, and the ma.

HUNGRY MEN REFUSE WORK

York, Only Two Willing to
Take Country Job.

table garden in summer, were varied
and manifold and altogether unsatis-
factory. He had it firmly impressed
j upon him at last that to get help" in
the country was NO small undertaking.
Then he thought of the bread line"
which formed each night under the
windows of his old studio in New York
the line in which shivering and hun
cry men waited for hours to get the
dole of bread which kept them from
starvation. Mr.. Fleischman, the
founder of the charity, once said that
he was sure that none but deserving
men-men who really needed the food
were his benefciaries. when a
man will stand for two or three hours
waiting in line for loaf of bread, 4"
the philanthropist had said, ''it is a
pretty sure sign that he needs it,
This was the light in which the artist
had been accustomed to view the
members of the bread line and he
glowed with philanthropic fervor as
he thought: "Now here is a good
home and a good job for some poor
and deserving oevil. Why did not
think of it before!"
So he went to Capt Henry, the Off
cial of the Fleischman establishment
who supervises the bread line nightly,
and stated his case.
That night there were 500 men in
the line and Capt. Henry went along
it announcing to all that a good job
was waiting at Darien, Conn, for any
one who wanted it. OF those 500 men
only two. expressed a willingness to
accept the offer, and one of these was
not over-enthusiastic about it. All the
others declared that they wanted job.
and wanted it badly-but not in the
country. In short, of the 500, 49S pre-
ferred to sleep in the parks or cheap
and crowded lodging houses, to live
on charity or by begging, to endure
hunger, rags and misery in the city
rather than go to comfort and plenty
in the country.
The man whom Capt. Henry chose
of the two who did volunteer has so
far proved all that his employer could
wish. and has shown no indication of
a desire to return to the old life of
the city. But the season is young yet
and this man was one out of 500.

JAPAN'S cAMPHoR EXHIBIT.
Great Showing of Product of Far
East Was Made at Late st.

one OF the most interesting exhibits
made by Japan at the late st. Louis ex-

INDUSTRY known as the camphor mo-
nopoly BY provision of the law OF
1913 the sale OF camphor produced in
Japan Is monopolized by the govern
ment through restriction of the sale of
crude camphor and camphor oil
Every part of a camphor tree. even IN
the leaves, contains camphor, says the
scientific American. The forests are
not confined to Formosa alone but are
aso found in Japan proper. With the
extension OF the industry the large areas

practiced to a considerable extent a
Tree requiring 80 years to attain a diam

mere Is still an extensive supply Of ma :
1--WE forest growth, and many huge trees
are to be found in regions still unex-
piored. The supply, therefore, is as
shred for years to come.
Samphor is found in the form of crys-
tais In the wood tissues. and is separat-
ed from the crude oil by double distilla-
uon. From the first distillation is Sc
cured an oxidized product camphogen-
etol, the principle of the camphor oils
OF commerce. The crude camphor is q
dark-colored substance fusing at 10
degrees C.
Among the by-products may be men
toned crude camphor oil, which comes
out simultaneously with the camphor:
white oil, obtained by sublimating the
crude oil, and used in the manufacture
or soap. Red oil is also obtained from
the crude camphor oil, as well as black
OIL which is extensively used in the
preparation of varnishes. A turpentino
is secured from the white oil that is in
great demand for medical and industrial
purposes. From red oil is obtained the
product known as saffrol, employed to
q considerable extent in the manufac
ture of perfumery, and also soap: and i
ddsinfectant is also distilled from red
oil, after the addition of other sub
stances, claimed to kill the cholera
bacillus. Another product is an insect
icide, which, when mingled with 100
parts of water, destroys insects injuri-

The annual export of camphor from

terial is instantly released, being de-
posted where the operator desires.
The magnet will support it's load in
mid-alr for hours and days, and even
endless years, if only the electric cur
rent continues to flow through the
two small wires
Comparing this method of operation
with the common method of connect
ing the load to the hook of the crane,
with chains. hooks or clamps. the saw
ing in both labor and time is appar.
ent. The attachment of the magnet to
the load, as we'll as the release of the
load, may be accomplished by the crane
operator without assistance. thus saw
ing the labor of one or more men for
prying up the material, attaching the
hooks and chains at the point of load
ing and additional men at the point of
delivery for unlocking the load from
the crane.
In nearly all the handling of iron,
no matter what its shape-beams bars,
scraps, ingots or plates-the work is
greatly facilitated by the employment
of the magnets. One magnet built to
lift 100 pounds of pig iron at time
would pick up its load. transfer it to
the place desired. and release it at the
rate of one ton every three minutes.
There are some 40 different kinds of
magnets now built for as many differ
ent kinds of work. One peculiar work
that it is called upon to do is skull
cracking" that is, a ball weighing
from one to six tons is lifted I'D in
the air and dropped upon pieces of
iron that it is desired to break. It
does this very rapidly and accurately.

STUDENTS 60 INTO MINE.
A Chance for Columbia Graduates to
Get Practical Experience With
out Apprenticeship.

A new plan for giving practical ap-
prentice work to Columbia mining STU
dents after graduation will be put into
practice soon. Prof. H. S. Munroe has
completed. arrangements with the own
ers of mine near Monmouth Springs.
in the northern part of the state,
whereby the mine is to- be developed
by students.
About 20 men of the department of
mining engineering. who received their
degrees have agreed to go to work
under the condition made The own
ers of the mine are to pay a certain
sum for the development. out of which
will come the expenses of the opera
ton, and nominal daily wages will be
paid to. the students. The mine con-
tains: gold, copper, iron, lead and
platinum, and thus will give a. wide
field for the specialists.
Prof. Munroe's scheme is modifica-
ton of a. plan put into execution last
year ont west. A sort of intercol-
Iegiate summer school in mining was
established. in: Colorado, and under
graduates from Yale. Columbia, the
Massachusetts Institute of technology
and the Colorado School of Mines got
their regular summer work in the
mine in combinations. There is. also.
prescribed summer work for miners; at
Columbia which involves a. trip west
each summer:
The idea of having the graduates go.
to work for term is something new.
The experience will help them to get
over the rougher part of an apprentice
ship in elementary details of practice
which otherwise would take up xaIu-
able time later.

LIGHT FASTER THAN SOUND
Everyday Incidents Which Go to
Prove the Truth of This
Ass ertion.

About 1000 yards from the window
where | sit is factory which blows
its whistle every noon, writes the au-
thor of Mature and Science" in St.
Nicholas. The steam always comes
from the whistle some little time be-
fore the sound is heard. Yesterday
counted three seconds between the
time when the first steam was seen
and when the sound of the whistle
was heard. The whistle is heard
when the weather is foggy or clear;
hot or cold; windy or calm 1t is
sometimes louder than at other times.
but it always takes three seconds to
travel the 5000 feet from the factory
to my house.
We often hear also an echo of the
whistle. which comes two seconds
later than the first sound. This is
the same sound coming by a round
about journey 5000 feet long. 1t
travels first 1000 feet to a hill beyond,
and then is sent back 1000 feet to
our house.
A few days ago l heard a band of
musicians playing upon the street and
although they were far distant from
me, the high tones of the piccoIo and

me exactly together, showing that
high and low tones travel at the same
speed.

Ants Cowheads.

One of the most interesting studies of
insect life is the relationship between
ants and plant lice, or aphids. These
plant lice supply honeydew from the
juices which they take as food from
plants. The ants are very fond of this
sweet substance, and care for the aphids
in a manner that seems to us surprising
ly intelligent. They sometimes carry
them bodily to a better feeding ground
and drive away certain of their enemies.
1t is claimed that they even build sheds
of mud in the crotches of shrubs and
small trees. On account of this insect
relationship, one may truthfully call the
ants farmers" the aphids cows ana
