GREAT VITALITY OF TREES.
Story from Utah Tells Of Felled Giant
Which sprouted Young Growths
from Its Sides.

An Illustration of the wonder
lul vitality and reproductiyeness
Of the redwood is reported from
Ukiah as existing in the forests of
Mendleino county. 1t consists
OF the trunk of a redwood tree
felled for the manufacture of shin.
giles, which, after lying on the
ground undisturbed for several
months, sprouted a number OF
young trees whose roots had de-
yeloped in its own body. This de.
yelopment is enormously report
ed, however, as the first case on
record where redwood completely
severed from the stump has pro.
duced a new growth. Instances
have been frequently recorded of
felled redwood trunks reproduc-
ing a growth Of young timber all
along the line of the prostrate
log, and travellers through the
coast forests have frequently OBJ
served the phenomenon Of rows of
well-developed trees growing out
Of the bodies of those that have
lain long enough on the earth to
perish and decay. Some years ago
2 newspaper correspondent re.
ported the strange phenomenon Of
new redwood growth on a bridge
built OF redwood logs across a
Humboldt county stream. The
sides Of this bridge consisted
OF two large redwoods, which had
been felled so that the ends rested
in the soil on each bank. AlIalong
the upper side Of each log a row of
sturdy redwood saplings deveI-
oped shortly after the bridge had
been finished, proving that life
was not extinguished in either. al
though totally severed from the
stumps.

IN THE PALACE or THE COW
Dairy Equipment in Which Perfec
ton Is Reached in the Matter
Of Cleanliness.

The COW barn is Of artificial
stone, with a floor of concrete,
Like the piggery, it is lighted by
electricity at night, says Richard
Powys, in Outing. The partitions
between the stalls are skeleton
bars of metal, extremely simple
but substantial. Arranged in Il
double row, facing the middle
aisle of the building, the animals
take their food from concrete
troughs which run along in front
of the stalls, these receptacles be-
ing filed with drinking water
when emptied Of provender. All
refuse is carried out of the build
ing by an overhead trolley, and
there dropped into carts to be car
ried away. Here, as in the piggery,
everything is cleanliness itself,
and there is not even a suggestion
of a disagreeable odor.
When the cows are to be MIXED,
the men go into the dairy building,
take shower bath, so that it may
be certain that no impurity fingers
about their persons, and put on
clean suits of white duck. Then
they go TO the COW barn, each OF
them carrying a tin pail which has
been previously sterilized and
with a harmless disinfecting fluid
they wash the udders of the ami
mails. Each man has ten to attend
to, and while the milking is going
on no other person is permitted
to 60 through, or even to enter, the
barn. The milk of each cow is car
ried separately to the foreman of
the barn, who stands beside pair
OF scales and weighs the milk,
writing down in a book its weight
and the number of the COW.

vocation off Great Belle island

probably part of the cargo OF
some wrecked vessel, they ap
preached it, anticipating a yalu
able prize, and one of them struck
the object with his boathook,
Upon receiving the shock the dark
heap became suddenly animated,
and, spreading out, discovered a
head, with a pair of large, prom
inent, staring eyes, which seemed
to CLEAN with intense ferocity, the
creature at the same time expos

the encounter.
"One of the arms was, unfor-

vacancy on the supreme court of the

place was asked yesterday as to mis-

He declined to make any positive
statement. When it was recalled to
him, however, that the president had
on his return to Washington from
Oyster Bay suggested that the secre-
tary had practically eliminated him
self from the probabilities, Taft simply
smiled and made no further comment
except to say that the presidents views
were usually correct.

DISTILLERY AND MOTOR WORKS
PLANNED FOR CITY.
RESULT OF FREE ALCHOL
Denatured Alcohol and Engines to Use
Product for Fuel May be Manu-
factured-Gas Engine Man Goes
to Germany to Confer With Eu-
ropeans on Project.

Minneapolis, Oct. 19.-MinneapoliS
may become the center of an i'm
mense new industry as the result OF
the new free alcohol law which pro-
yides for the use of denatured al
cohol in the arts and industries. A
determined effort is to be made to
secure for Minneapolis an immense
factory which will combine the man
ufacture of denatured or industrial
alcohol with the manufacture of
motors and engines designed to use
denatured alcohol as fuel.
D. O'Connor, Jrs, manager of the
Otto Gas Engine company's Min
neapolis branch, left last night and
will sail for Germany Oct. 16. He
hopes to arrange for the establish
ment of a great factory in Min
neapolis. He will spend two months
in Germany studying the denatured
alcohol project and he will con-
fer with German manufacturers who
have announced their willingness
to boom the industry in the United
States. Minneapolis, in the heart of
district in which the ingredients of
pure alcohol are easily obtained, is
looked upon as a promising field for
the establishment of a plant on the
scale outlined.
Denatured alcohol has been manu-
featured and used in Europe for a
number of years. The alcohol, 80
or 95 per cent pure, is distilled from
food products, such as potatoes,
grain and molasses. In the denatur-
ing process wood alcohol, pyridin
bases, camphor, turpentine and
many other ingredients may be used
The process of denaturing has not
been carried on in the United States
to any extent, owing to the tax on
alcohol and to the price which has
been asked for the wood alcohol
necessary to the denaturing process.
Under the present laws it is possible
for the European manufacturer to
ship to and sell in this country de-
natured alcohol at a lower cost than
it can be manufactured in the United
States.
Although incompletely denatured, al
cohol is used in Europe in varniSheS,
rubber preparations, camphor and
chemical preparations. The fully
denatured alcohol is used extensive
ly in producing power, light and heat,
and it is with those objects in view
that American manufacturers are be-
ginning to investigate the denatured
product 1t is believed that the use
of spirits for driving motors, light
ing rooms, cooking food and produc-
ing heat has a great future. Mr..
O'Connor an expert on gas engines,
will investigate the subject thorough
" in the German manufactures

CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY COM
TAINs PRICELESS MANUSCRIPTS.
TELL HISTORY OF NATION
Documents Bearing on Life of the Gov
eminent From Its Birth Are
Housed in Pavilion Constructed for
Them-Papers of Presidents, Com
modores and Others.

On the second floor of the congress
sional library, reached through a
great hall filed with exhibits, the Wis.
itor finds a lofty pavilion, so feet
square, with desks, catalogues and
other special equipments for the con
sultation of manuscripts. This is
the administrative headquarters OF
the manuscripts division. In a room
of equal area above it, six repairers
are continuously at work cleansing,
mending and piecing out documents
that require this and reinforcing with
a mask of transparent silk gauze the
most valuable of them.
To the rear of the main pavilion
stretches the storage room-a hall
more than 200 feet long by nearly 40
in width. It is shelved with three
tiers of metal cases, the lower of
which is enclosed in glass, tightly set,
with locked doors, in the alcoves op-
posite the wide windows are large
steel safes, burglar proof, with COM
bination locks. There are 20 of these,
and others may be added as needed.
In these cases and safes are now
housed the manuscript collections.
Among them are the volumes which.
until recently transferred to the
library, have formed distinction of
the department of state; the papers
of the continental cOngress-in more
than 800 folio volumes-the papers OF
Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Mon
roe Franklin and other statesmen.
Continuing the presidential series are
the papers of Andrew Jackson aud
Martin Van Buren, acquired by the
library by gift, and of Franklin Pierce,
James K. Polk and Andrew Johnson,
acquired by purchase. The papers of
Salmon P Chase and a large collec-
ton of papers of Daniel Webster fit i'll
usefully in their appropriate epochs.
Back of these in date and touching
another side of our history are the
papers-including the letter and log
books-of Commodore Preble and
many of Commodore Barry and Porter.
Brilliant earlier passages in the
achievements of our navy and the ca
reer of the most picturesque of it's
heroes are in the IL volumes of pa
pers of John Paul Jones.
The letter books and diary of Rob
ert Morris as superintendent of finance
0781-84), acquired three years ago,
after generations of vicissitude, in
Guiding the perils of the junk shop,
contain copies of every letter written
by him and a minute of every tran
saction and interview in his Office dur
ing the four years of his incumbency
They have never until now been acces-
sible to the historian. Without them
the final history of the revolution can
not be written.

it would probably occupy about two

investigation, and not until then
would it be ascertained whether a
clerical error has been made or
whether there is an actual shortage.
