TREES GREEN FOR
RAILROAD TIES
Pennsylvania Railroad Has Pur-
chased Large Tracts of Land
for Growing Timber.

Baltimore, Jan: s:-The Pennsylva-
large area of land in Maryland and
Delaware, and is trying to buy more,
for the purpose of growing trees for
railroad ties. To be desirable from the
point of view of the company, land
must be very cheap-$6 to $40 an acre
land is preferred to any other sort. T.
About three years ago the first step
was taken in the matter of planting
trees. for the purpose Of growing them
for ties. A large tract of land was pur.
chased near Altoona, Pa, and $4,000
trees were set out. William W. Mayer
agent Of the real estate department, had
charge Of the work, The trees were
very young young lo o. and spruces, and
burg, Pa. Shortly afterward larger tracts
of land were bought and more trees SET
out until the number Of trees in the
ground was 100000. The experiment
became gradually fixed policy, anc
Mr.. Mayer was sent all over the lines
purpose Of buying up suitable and avail
able lands for tree growing. Mr.. May
er now has several large tracts nea7
Baltimore in view, and if they are pur
chased trees will probably be planted
in early spring.
In 1904, up to the present time, 600,
900 trees have been planted. Afte
planting, it is estimated that a tree will
be ready to be made into ties in abou
planted about, six or eight feet apart
Recently very large tract of land wa
bought in Pennsylvania, very near tn
MARYLAND line, and the company i

San Francisco, Jan. 3.-Major George
o: Squier Of the United States signal
corps, has made an important discov-
cry in wireless telegraphy. He has
found that trees may serve the purpose
Of Marconi g metallic feelers or anten-
nae, as they are called, and that tree
trunks, while serving as masts or tow
ers, also serve as wires to bring. the cleo
magnetic currents down to the earth.
The healthier the tree the better it
serves as a conductor for the highly
oscillating currents. The leaves Of trees
or of plants behave precisely as if they
were made Of metal, and they will
transmit these oscillations from the
ground surrounding them thru their
leaves.
At Fort Mason Major Squier at
tached his Geographic apparatus to the
trees and communicated with the wire
less station on Alcatraz island, about
two miles distant.
The major claims great advantages
for this system Of tree telegraphy IL

Squier found that vegetation was slim

tricity, and was killed by heavy shocks

SOUTH DAKOTA ATTACKED
Bond Decision Cause Much Bad Feeling
in the South. Z.

vERMILLION, s. D.-Altho South Dakota won
its suit in the supreme court against North Caro-
lima to recover payment on $4,000 in bonds, the
state is compelled to bear the brunt Of the hard
things said by the Irish American league and the
solid south, who are loud in denunciation of the
arbitration treaty which the administration is
using every means in its power to secure. 1t is
asserted by the opposition that the proposed
treaty is an attempt to force the states of the
south to settle the bonds issued by carpetbag off
Gals, and that South Dakota, in forcing claim
against North Carolina. has established prece-
dent under which foreign governments can secure
the southern states. .ss.#
:. The suit brought by South Dakota is said
to be the result Of deep laid plot, concocted
score Of years ago to squeeze money from the
bonds thru ' one Simon schafer who. in 1901,
made donation Of ten bonds Of railroad stock
for use of the state university. The bonds were
issued by North Carolina to finance a railroad
which has ever since paid at least 10 per cent
dividends.
