ARTIFICIAL WOOD.
Attempts Made to Produce IL From
Peat Eibers

TcdI flOcrSs
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 f1brous condition, SO
as to produce a fibrous and a 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 artifcially dried, pol
lshed 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 n.y.
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 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
it 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

CHICKENS AS GOLD MINERS.
How They Are Made to Pick Up Mug.
oets 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 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, a 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
filled 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 APP
paratus of the chickens. Mengel did
not say anything about his find" to
any one but j. B. Rhinehardt, who
represents 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 a 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 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 shrewd man, for
after himself and Rhinehardt had
slaughtered the chickens and re-
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
chinery.

says:

ANTIDOTE FOR WAR.

eff ignorance is bliss, It's folly
to be WISE Now, really, here
is a proposition wherein the first
suggestion being correct the sec
ond is doubly certain to be. But
learned men tell US that the ma
jority of evils spring from ignor-
ance. This seems a well-ground-
ed contention, and if true, the
greatest safeguard against evil
would be education.
But how about war? Is it an
evil? and does it spring from ig-
norance? The great masses are
becoming better educated and
more enlightened as time rolls
On, yet during the past century
we appear to have witnessed, in
civilized countries, quite good
ly number of wars. In every
war there is a large religious
following in the ranks of both
sides who devoutly believe their
cause to be right. These people
claim to be highly enlightened,
profess faith in the same God,
and petition Divine Providence
to grace their arms with the
blessings of victory.
Is war an evil? If so, perhaps
when our education is on a little
higher plane we may be enabled
to exist in state of bliss that is
unconscious of imposition, either
given or suffered When people
reach such a state they will be
getting pretty good for this
world and if it comes about
through education they will most
likely be entitled to boast a pub
lie school system the peer of
WhaC We now possess, Which IS
pretty good.
The boast has been made that
no great movement for good has
ever proved enduring without it
was founded on education. But
the task Of educating against
war seems appalling, especially
when we consider that some of
the greatest minds of the day
are at present engaged at the
work of building more destruc-
tive machines for the navies and
armies Of the world than at any
other period of the worlds his
tory. If these men were better
educated, more able, they would
create more destructive ma
chimes than they are at present
capable of. At least so it seems,
but let us hope that education
may prove an antidote for war.

Used as ingredients of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, Black Cherry

for bronchitis, laryngitis, chronic coughs,

The above native roots also have the
strongest possible endorsement from the

of the diseases named above but also for
Indigestion, tofpor of liver, or bilious
ness, obstinate constipation. kidney and

You don't have to take DR.. Piercc's
