ARTIFICIAL WOOD.
Attempts Made to Produce Il From

Attempts Made to Produce Il From
Peat Fibers.
Frequent attempts have been made
to use peat as raw material for the
manufacture of artificial wood. The
material must, for this purpose, be
fully reduced to a fibrous condition, so
as to produce fibrous and mealy
mass. This mixture is mixed with an
emulsion of two parts by measure OF
plaster of paris and ten to twelve OF
water; and is subjected for considera
BILE time to heavy hydraulic pressure
in molds, then artificially dried, pol
ished and oiled, painted and vanished
A more simple process is to wash
the peat, without destroying it's natur.
al fibrous state, and to mix the result
ing moist mass with a mixture of by
drafted lime and an aluminium com.
pound Gas, for instance, aluminium
sulphate, and press it in molds for
short time in the moist state, after
which the resulting plates are allowed
to harden in the air. The resultant
product needs only a comparatively
low pressure, and this for only a short
time; and is then set out to dry in the
air. The resulting artificial wood IL
not hygroscopinc, and in order to use
1t for open air work needs no painting
or further impregnation. In view OF
the fact that the pressing operation
takes only few minutes, considerable
quantities can be manufactured In
comparatively small space of time.-

gets, Then Killed.
The champion gold mining story OF
| the season has gained circulation at
Lead. According to the story, two
men plan to become rich as the re.
suit Of purchasing a number Of chick.
ems, which will carry on the mining
operations for them.
Some days ago, SO the story runs,
Johnnie" Mengel, who is manager
| OF mining company's store at Han
ma town in the gold mining district
Of the Black Hills, purchased some
pullets from Charles Burgess, who
owns some land near Hanna. Mengel
killed and dressed the chickens, and
when he opened their crops he was
surprised to find that instead of being
filed with gravel, they fairly bulged
out with small sized nuggets of pure
gold.
All the nuggets are alleged to have
shown evidence of wear from long
continued use in the digestive ap-
paratus of the chickens. Mengel did
not say anything about his find" to
any one but ]. B. Rhinehardt, who
represents a paint and glass concern
Of Omaha, and who was visiting him
, at the time. He took Mr.. Rhinehardt
into his confidence, and they pro-
ceeded to the ranch of Mr.. Burgess
and purchased all his remaining
chickens, and are now said to be
negotiating for the lease of his prop
erty.
The two men, after getting the
chickens to place where they would
not be observed by curious prospect
ors who are always on the watch In
the hope of discovering gold mine.
slaughtered the fowls and made an
other fine cleanup" of gold from
their crops. This Cleanup" it is an
nounced, has been taken to Omaha
by Mr.. Rhinehardt, where it will be
refined and moulded into a bar. Men
gel refuses to say how much the
cleanup" will amount to in. dollars
and cents. but he volunteered the
Information that 1t would be better
than some Of the "cleanups' made
by many of the small mills which are
being operated by gold mining COM
panies throughout the Black Hills.
Mengel is quite a shrewd man, for
after himself and Rhinehardt had
moved the gold from their crops, he
sold the carcasses to his customers.
thus, as the old saying it, killing two
birds with one stone"
In the event that Mengel and
Rhinehardt succeed in securing a
lease on the property of Mr.. Burgess,
it is stated, to be the intention to
stock the place with chickens to the
number Of several hundred
About every two weeks they will
kill all the chickens, secure from
their crops the gold which they have
in the meantime scratched out of the
ground and swallowed, after which
the carcasses will be sold to butchers
in the surrounding towns.
Then several hundred more chick
ems would be purchased and placed
ON the leased ground, when the proc
ess of permitting the chickens to per-
form gold mining for them would be
repeated Mengel is something of a
mathematician, and estimates that by
this means himself and partner in
this unique mining venture will be
able to get all the gold that Is in the
gravel along the creek without the
necessity of going to the expense Of
purchasing expensive mining ma
chinery.

New Wicks for Oil Heaters.

The discovery of a new wick prin-
ciple-so effective and YET so simple
that it's a wonder no one thought of
It before-has so revolutionized the
manufacture of oil heaters and lamps
that explosions, smoke and smell,
caused by imperfect wick arrange
ment, may safely be regarded as
things of the past. This new wick
attachment is to be found on the
Perfection oil heater. Interesting
tests show that, although theSheater
gives intense heat, the wick cannot
be turned too high or too low-abso-
lutte safety thus being assured. One
other feature which is worthy of men,
ton is the smokeless device which
prevents all smoke and odor. The
portability of the heater also COM
mends it for general household use.
Heater is very light and can be easily
usefulness in heating water and
warming cold rooms make It a most
handy and useful article in any
home. This heater is so far su-
perior to other oil heaters, and is OF
such fair price that its universal
adoption is but matter Of time. The
Rayo lamp. which Is made by the
manufacturers Of the Perfection oil
heater, is without doubt the best
lamp for all-round household use. Is
equipped with the latest improved
burner, and gives a bright steady light
at small cost.
