to tell how hard up he was for little

the only sound that came was noisy

from side to side in self-pity. To add

his fingers spell out his troubles at

beggar with return volley of finger

Victory of Push and Publicity

Push has made American men what
they are to-day. 1t is the great Amer
lean spirit condensed into monosyl-
liable. Hand in hand with push goes
publicity as a motive power toward
success. The two are so close that it
is difficult to know them apart. The
man of push is champion of pub
licity. If he has good thing he
wishes the public TO know about it.
Shiner gazette. [volume] (Shiner, Tex.) 1893-current, 1906-09-26

If he has goods to sell there must
be push and publicity If he would con
vert those goods into income, What
is the use of having the goods to sell
If no one knows of them? How are
the buyers to be found? Push and
publicity will provide the articles to
be sold and the persons to buy them.
Push and publicity are the antidotes
of stagnation and starvation.-Louis-

PRESERVATION or Wo, }.
New Sulphur Process Which Entirely
Fills the Pores.

Consul r. NJ Bartleman, writing
from Seville, says that the faculty of
wood to withstand atmospheric pros,
sure Is 50 small, compared with It's
mechanical resistance, that close
study of new systems aiming at its
preservation Is OF great interest IN
dustrially.
All the wood preseryatlye methods
now employed are defective In SO far
as they make use OF solutions tho
eYaporatiYe nature OF which makes
their action upon The wood errectual
only for certain time, The new
method in question, which has been
patented in Germany, goes further and
utilizes fixed body which becomes
solid upon being instilled into the
pores of the wood. This substance is
sulphur, the physical properties of
which offer interesting advantages,
being fusible at about ll5 degrees,
temperature which the wood can sup
port without any nerceptlble change
The sulphur is applied in liquid form,

passive resisting not only the influ
ence Of water but also that Of acids,
concentrated or diluted, and alkaline
solutions, If cold The reason why
the utility Of sulphur In the direction
indicated had not been recognized ere
now was on account OF its small me-
chanical resistance, pure sulphur be-
ing very brittle and pulverous But
as wood possesses the quality Of me
chanical resistance of which sulphur
is devoid, the compound of these two
bodies may, under the proper condi-
lions, easily acquire valuable indus
trial properties. as, for instance, the
vulcanized caoutchouc, which the
wood, impregnated with sulphur, re-
sembles good deal.
