TWO CHURCHES MEET.

rhe Presbyterian General Assembly
Works Toward Union.
There were two features Of the open
ing sessions OF the 10th general Assem-
bly, of the Presbyterian church. which
convened at Memorial Hall in Column
nus. Ohio One was the annual sermon
" Rev. Or. Ira Lan,lrith of Nashville,
moderator of the last Cumberland Pres
byterian assembly. which took place in
che afternoon. Nloe than 9o0 dele
gates answered the first roll CALL and
several thousand visitors looked on at
She opening sessions. The election of a
moderator was reduced to a formality
by the withdrawal of all the candidates
except Rev. William II. Roberts Of
Philadelphia. iwho was chosen by accla-
nation The keynote OF DR. Landriths
sermon ut the devotional service in the
morning WAS an appeal for concerted
effort toward the complete union of
the church.
In his plea for extension of the
church work, Dr. Landrith expressed
the hope that the church ultimately
would be united with the Southern
Presbyterian church
The war is over. said DR.. Land
rith. Southern Presbyterianism with
out our cooperation. can never over
take the Presbyterian possibilities and
demands of the South in general and
the Southwest in particular. The
southern church win welcome our co
operation. and it will hasten the con
summation 50 deveutly to be wished
the ultimate union of the two
churches
Touching upon the race problem in
the South, DR.. Landrith said:
THE certain remedy for all racial
ills lies in the direction of good schools
and churches good but racially separ.

sectional hatred, are preached"
The forty-seventh annual general as
sembly of the Presbyterian church in
the United States (Southern Presbyte-
rians) opened at Birmingham, Ala. DR..
Allen G. Hall of Nashville called the
assembly to order. DR.. J. K. Howerton
of Montreal, n. c., was elected mod
orator. He delivered the opening SER
mon.
A quorum of commissioners of the
general assembly of the Cumberland
Presbyterian church went from Dick
son, Tenn, to Bethlehem church, which
stands on the site of the~old Meadow
log cabin, the birthplace of the church,
and there formally constituted the sew
enty-seventh session of the general as
sembly. Rev. ]. L. Hudgins, retiring
moderator, preached brief sermon. On
returning to Dickson the general as
sembly was constituted and Mr. Hudg-
ms delivered the opening sermon. He
made a most vigorous and caustic ar
raignment of the leaders responsible
for the union of the church with the
Presbyterian church.

The cry that girls of the present
day do not marry is, Of course, only
partially founded on fact. Still, If it
were strictly true. no one ought to be
surprised or indignant. Whatever a

Dorous nature of the wood makes II

DISCOVERS WAY
treat Problem of the Preservation of Telephone
and Telegraph Poles as Timber Becomes
Scarcer is Solved---Few Realize the Impor-
tance---3O, 100000 Telephone and Telegraph
Poles---Interesting Facts.

Washington, Oct. 1S.-Throwing
the locomotive out of consideration,
no agent has taken more prom
inent place in the material devel-
opment OF the Rocky Mountain re-
gion than the telephone and tha
telegraph. improvements in over
land transportation furnished by
steam roads and in rapid communi-
cation made possible by the use of the
wire for delivery of messages have
gone hand in hand in making the
great West thoroughly accessible
and in Fastening development.
A person seldom realizes the i'm
portant part which the telephone
and telegraph play in his daily life,
and few know the enormous amount
of capital invested and material that
is required to construct and main
tain the extensive liLes.
Thirty million poles are used in
the United States on 100000 miles
of telephone and telegraph lines.
This does not include the large num-
ber of poles which are required by
electric lighting and transportation
companies. Most of the poles are
cedar but throughout this Rocky
Mountain region this is not availa-
BILE. and Douglas fir is substituted.
Douglas fir, while not so durable
as cedar is so much more lasting
than the other available timbers.
that its use has been widely eH7
tended
AS the telephone and telegraph
lines increased to meet the demands
of business brought about by the
growth of the railroads and towns,
1t became necessary TO cut large
areas of timber lands to supply the
poles holding the wires. For long
time timber was so plentiful, that
suitable poles could be easily OBJ
tanned without going far from the
lines under construction. Now, how
ever. the considerable distance that
the poles must be transported in
many cases and the general search
ty of timber has tended to raise
the cost Consequently. pole users
have been compelled to find some
cheaper, more abundant timber to
replace the expensive Douglas fir or
discover some inexpensive way OF
making 1t last longer by fighting OF
decay.
The decay OF wood is caused by
the action of low forms OF plant
life called fungi and bacteria. These
live upon the wood and in time com
pletely destroy 1t. In order to grow
they require sufficient amount of
heat, air, moisture, and food. All
The daily sentinel., 1907-10-19

of these requirements are met in
most parts OF the United States
When the pole is set, however, air
and moisture generally exist in re-
quisite amounts only in that por-
ton of the pole near the surface of
the ground. The portion of the pole
buried several feet underground does
not furnish them with necessary air.
while the part above the ground, in
most cases. contains insufficient mois-
ture for their development If the
part near the ground line can be
protected from their attack. the life
OF the pole can be materially in
creased.
Many methods have been tried at
various times to protect this vital
part of the pole. Most of these
consisted in applying oils or paint
or similar substance with a brush
to the butt. With few exceptions
they have been largely abandoned
as one giving the desired protect
ion. The substance applied remained
almost entirely upon the surface of
the wood and as a result, seasoning
checks and wind shakes ruptured
the coating and exposed the untreat-
ed wood to attack by fungi, which
soon destroyed the pole.
The Forest Service OF the United
States Department of Agriculture
has spent considerable time in devel-
oping a method by which the butts
of poles can be successfully and eco
nomically preserved against decay
with a consequent increase in the
life of the whole pole. This con-
sisss in immersing them In alter
nate baths of hot and cold preser-
vative, such as creosote or zinc
chloride. The poles are placed in
tank of hot preservative to depth
of one foot above the ground line
when set, and kept there for few
hours, depending upon the species
and condition of the timber. The
pole is then placed in bath of
cold preservative for a short period
which completes the treatment
When the wood is heated in the
first tank, the air ami moisture in
the wood cells and intercellular
spaces is expanded. and some of 1t
is driven out Upon immersion in
the cold preservative, the difference
in temperature causes the expanded
air and moisture to contract, thus
forming n partial vacuum, which
causes the oil to penetrate the wood
to the desired depth. The wood to
be treated should be air seasoned.
