Human Motive Force.

According to the researches of F'isch-
er, the latent calorific energy stored in
the food absorbed by an adult man q
day is 5000 to $500 caiories of heat.
A notable part of this energy is used
within the body for determining animal
activity, respiration. digestion, elimi-
nation, etc. The excess may be ex-
pended in mechanical work. A day of
eight hours and average of continuous
work is equivalent to a work of $4,000
kilog-am-meters, or 300 calories. or a
little less than one-half- horsepower.
Under these conditions the cost price
of 160-horsepower may be thus calcu-
lated: Man, $50 workmen at three
frances per day, $50 francs; horsepow
er. 16-horsepower, all expenses includ-
ed, so francs; engine, steam, six francs;
engine. gas. $50 francs. Human mo-
tive force is therefore 100 times dearer
than mechanical motive force.

FRUIT TREE TIMBER.
ft Is Far Too Valuable to Use as Fire
yyood-


r. Is Far Too Valuable to Use as Fire
wood
The wood of our fruit trees is by nc
means of as little value as supposed by
many farmers. Trees are occasionally
rejected from every orchard, on ac-
count OF age, disease or unfruitfulneSS
and attention should be called to the
uses to which the wood may be put.
1t IS universally known that walnut
finds extensive use in fine cabinet work
and commands a good price. 1t is used
in large quantities for making gun
stocks.
Cherry wood is also used in furniture
and gives limitations OF mahogany, TAX
ing beautiful color when polished.
Apple-tree wood is remarkably well
adapted to turner's work and is In de-
mand for making cog-wheels, on ac-
count of its great strength and dura-
bility. The cogs of wooden mill-wheels
are often made of apple wood. 1t is
also extensively used for fruit presses,
where It proves very durable.
Plum-tree wood is valuable for max
ing spigots. wooden moldS and the
handles of kitchen knives.
Ounce and peach tree woods are
highly valued for fine furniture and
technical implements. The dark color
and beautiful grain of peach wood
make it much sought after.
Pear-tree wood is utilized especially
for making rulers and the shafts of
looms, as 1t does not warp or bend when
exposed to the air. OF late it has been
used In the place Of beech wood for
cuts, confectionerS' molds, etc. 1t
makes excellent limitations of ebony.
II can be seen from the foregoing
that the different kinds of fruit trees,
when not dead or too dry can be put
to much better use than for flrewood,
for which they are altogether too val
ua ahle.
The National tribune., 1906-03-22
Preserving Wood.

Editor National Tribune: I see in
your last National Tribune that Mr..
A. E. Mansfield wishes to know how
to preserve wood so it VIII not decay.
I can give you a good wood preserver
recipe. Take five gallons of water and
bring it to a boil, then add one gallon
of siIicate of soda. three rounds of
potash and five pounds Of pnlvarized
rosin stirred in while boiling: then ap-
ply a coat of this. When dry, apply
the second coat. Wood coated with
this will last three times ss long as
without IT. It will also make all con-
crete work last far better.
I also saw a request to know how
to polish wood In a lathe. Take a
heavy piece of poplar bark and
smooth the end. then hold IL hard
against the work, and Il will make 1t
a glossy polish which will last until
the work is put In use.-G. w. New
ton. Hubbard, o.

Thin Hogs In Arkansas.
(Kansas City Journal.)

w. j. Fleming, of Holton, partici-
pated in a raZorback hog hunt in
Arkansas recently. He says when they
go out to hunt hogs they take a boy
along on a horse with a sack to gather
up the dead hogs and when his sack
is filled he takes it to the house, where
the women have water boiling. And
when the boy empties his sack they
scald scrape and clean them and when
dried pack them in a cracker box first
putting layer of salt and then layer
of hogs. and then another of salt, and
then more hogs, until the box is full.
The boy in the meantime has returned
to the hunt with his sack for more dead
hogs

Mr.. Hearst's Ambition.
(Rrooklyn Times

Mr.. William Randolph Hearst should
lot make the mistake of taking himself
too seriously. Above all, he should be
very careful not to permit the candidate
habit to become chronic. 1t may be
admitted that there is some excuse for
him at present. The extraordinary vote
he received last November might we'll
have fired the blood and stimulated the
ambition OF less aggressive man than
Mr.. Hearst, and tempted him to put his
popularity to the test In q wider field.
But il Mr.. Hearst acts under good ad-
vice he will await the result Of his
friends efforts to put him into the
Mayors chair and keep out Of the fight
for Governer.

thority. Though a Scotchman by birth,
he is an enthusiastic American, and In
nothing so happy as in bringing TO the
attention of every one the beauties and
worth of our native trees and flowers
Last year he sent TO the Corporation
of Glasgow and to the Botanical Gar
dens in Berlin a large number of
American oaks, NAPLES and other trees,
which he was sure would be desirable
ornaments, but which they have been
unable to grow because the seeds sent
across the ocean would not gerninate.
For this he has received a vote of
thanks from the Corporation of Glas-
gov, and suitable acknowledgment
from Berlin. With reference to this
he says:

ticularly if there is an effort to
foist any corporation stool
pigeons on the ticket.
We are foolish enough to think
that we have everything to gain
and nothing to lose by being
honest. We observe that no
crooked votes are cast out in
the rural districts. Here the vote
is an honest one and we are very
tired of losing its effect through
the dishonesty of Denver.
Every crooked act has lost us
ground. We gerrymandered the
state and tied every doubtful
county to Denver for Legislative
purposes and lost the legislature
thereby. This editor voted against
that crime-made speech
against it-and got in bad odor
with the party managers for not
blindly following their orders.
In the light of the past few years
experience we are pretty well
satisfied with our position at that
time. And that infamy was or
dered by the Denver gang who
boasted that they could vote
grave yards enough to carry all
of them.

ocrats exercised little indepen-
dence. For our own part it is

FAvORING THE BANKS.

Why does the administration
issue S30,000,000 of Panama canal
bonds, when there is. according
to the official statement, $4,000,
600 of available cash in the treas
ury of which over S500O0,000 is
in the favored banks and not
drawing interest? Is the reason
for the issue of bonds because
the banks require them to put up
as security for more money? The
fact that the taxpayers of the
United States will have to pay in
terest on the new issue after July
20, does not hinder a Republican
administration from saddling the
load on the people while the
banks go free. The game of
finance as played by the RePub
licans is all one-sided and the
banks always get the best of it

WE respectfully dissent from
the atement in the Denver
News that calls Russell Sage a
"breeder of dollars" He nearer
resembles the man who hovers
alongside a chicken ranch and
steals the product. Breeder!
Rats! He was merely sponge
that absorbed what other and bet
ter men produced. The dis
patches credit him with being
married twice but not even rails

have the News mention anything
that Russell Sage produced. We
consider his chief virtue the fact
that he did not reproduce his

News came in the dailies this

He had amassed S1O0,000,000 and
had also accumulated millions of
bad opinions. Probably his death
will be received with about the
same amount of JOY as would

has been published he possessed
not one admirable trait. He was
once threatened by "a a..Tbomb

held him between himself and
danger. The clerk was danger
