NOVEL TRUCK.
Designed Especially for Handling
Cases on Stairways.

In buildings where there are no ele-
vators the problem of transferring
large packing cases and similar bulky
articles to the upper floors is per-
picking one.
Generally it is necessary to open the
case on the ground floor and transfer
the contents In sections. The ordinary
two-wheel truck is practically useless
in such emergencies, and only of slight
use in hauling the cases down the
steps. A truck that should prove sue
cessful for either hauling cases up or
down steps is shown In the accom-

California man. The inventor utilizes
six wheels. three on each side. Each
wheel revolves on an extension of the

WAGE WAR ON THE
WHITE-PINE TREE WEEVIL

By A ID. Hopkins, In Charge Forest Insect

The white-pine weevil is a some

4 to 5 nm. in length, having the
thorax and elytra marked with irreg-
ular spots of brown and white scales
Gig. 1, al. The winter is passed in
the adult stage, evidently in the
ground. The beetles come out of their
winter quarters and fly early in May,
and after feeding for a few days on
the bark of the living white-pine
terminal shoots deposit their eggs in
punctures in the bark of the shoot of
the previous years growth, placing
one or two eggs in pit or cavity in
the inner bark made by the beak of
the mother beetle. In from six to ten
days the eggs begin to hatch into
small white grubs Qarvae), which at
first are usually found in large num-

WOMEN IN MEDIEVAL TIMES.
In Many Ways They Had Easier Lives
Than Their Descendants.

The women of the sixteenth century
and earlier times had easier lives than
those of our generation. To be sure,
there are a hundred labor saving de-
vices to-day which were unknown to
them. But in at least two important
respects they had the advantage over
their descendants. They waged no
conflict against dirt such as we carry
on from morning till night. The Eliz
abethan had no prejudice against gar.
bage in his front yard, vermin in his
bedroom decaying rushes on the floor
of his banquet hall, oi soiled lace in
his sleeves. The strenAth of arm and
spirit which now goes to keeping clean
was left to the medieval lady for other
tasks. Moreover, although her cloth
ing was gorgeous-rich with embroid-
cry and lace, and heavy with jewels
it was not subject to rapid changes of
fashion. The cut of a sleeve or the
hang of a skirt was settled for five
years rather than five months. Life
was then free from the modern terror
of looking like a last years rag bag"

surface. The first evidence that the
terminals are infested with larvae is
the stunted, unhealthy appearance OF
the young growth at the tip, which
will gradually die, the needles turning
yellowish and later brownist.
The time of development of the
broods to adults will be indicated by
the first appearance of dead tips.
The damage and loss, as affecting
the commercial tree, consists not only
in the death of the terminal shoots,
but in subsequent abnormal develop
ment of the trees so injured. The
dying of the leading shoot throws the
next years growth into the upper lat
eral shoots, which results in forked
and many-branched top. Each branch
produces a vigorous terminal, and all
compete for leadership in forming the
crown. In succeeding years the more
vigorous terminals Of the topmost

USE OF BUILDING TILE.
The Method of constructing Fireproof
Buildings.

The elimination of the fire hazard
in modern buildings is based upon the
principle that all supporting iron or
steel girders, columns, and beams
must be protected from fire by some
material which is poor conductor of
heat and not easily disintegrated or in
jured by high temperatures. Burned
clay materials, such as fiat, hollow.
porous. and semi-porous terra Gotta
blocks, and certain grades of burned
bricks, are commonly employed for
this purpose. Owing to the relative
llghtness of these materials and their
high flSe-resisting qualities, most steel
frameworks of large buildings are in
cased in hollow or fiat terra Gotta
tiles laid in cement mortar. Many of
these clay tiles and blocks are burned
in the making to 2,000-2,500 degrees.

Caution in Electric Traction.

Attention Is called In the Electrical
Review to certain sources of danger
in electric traction which may easily
be avoided by experienced drivers. One
of the most insidlous of these is the
high rate of acceleration possessed by
the electric motor. Engineers accus-
toned to steam locomotives have to
learn TO allow for this. For instance,
in rounding a curve it is often neces-
sary to throw on power TO overcome
the increased resistance. An engineer
trained TO use steam may be uncon-
scious of the rapid gathering of speed
by the electric motor. and throw on
the power too soon or too strongly,

that the lower the speed the greater
the power that can be delivered to tho

POLISHING Small Articles.

1t is said that a high polish may be
obtained after nickel plating on
small steel articles, such as screws,
by tumbling them with leather and dry
rouge. The articles are placed in a
tumbling barrel with leather scraps.
Some dry rouge is put into the barrel
along with the screws and leather and
the whole is tumbled for some time.
The rouge coats the surface Of the
leather, and causes It to act like a
polishing wheel. Canvas scraps may
be used in place of leather.

speed of from ~ to Is miles, and is
handled on the road under regular
train orders.
Tanks carried on the car platform
contain enough gasoline for a days
run. Through rows of burners spread
ing well beyond the rails, the flaming
gasoline is forced downward into the
weeds, killing root and branch, while
the old process did not stop future
growth.
1t is not uncommon on western
branch lines, sidings and commercial
tracks to see weeds from three to
seven feet high, which form a great
obstruction to train movement, cause
slippery rails and make operation dif,i-
cult. The weed burner is therefore a
solution Of serious railroad problem.
