G1DT is the height of boys ambition
MlI to own horse. A bicycle is a capi-
EsA@ tai steed, that stands without ty-
I4sMSRI ing, and will not "eat its head
off" when not in use; but, after
all, every boy prefers something
alive.
You cannot talk to bicycle as you can to
horse. and there can be no interchange Of
affection. Of course, every boy cannot own
horse, or, if he comes in possession of one,
it may prove white elephant" on his
hands for lack of space to keep him. But
to those happy boys who not only have a
horse, but place to keep him, this article

Secretary Garfield yesterday took the
first step in the direction Of a complete
reorganization of the Interior Department.
A number OF divisions that have been in
existence many years, having TO do
largely with land ana Indian matters,
were abolished, resulting in the transfer
Of many officials who have heretofore ex-
.ercised a strong influence in directing the
business of the department.
Announcement was made that the Rail-
road and Land Division what has been
known as tho Indian Division, and the
division handling correspondence relating
TO affairs IN the Indian Territory have
been put out of commission.
James /. Parker former chief OF the
Railroad and Land Division and principal
adviser to Secretary Hitchcock in the
prosecution of the land frauds. has been
named as private secretary to Secretary
Garfield
Luther r. Smith. chief Of the Indian
Territory Division, and Joseph c. Glenn
ents. in charge Of the Indian Division,
will be transferred TO the Office OF the
Commissioner Of Indian Affairs
The reorganization Of the department
thus effected is the OutgrOwth largely
Of suggestions made by Z. A. Hitchcock,
VINO retired from rhe post or secretary
Of the Interior on March l. About a year
ago Secretary Hitchcock invited a thor
ough examination of the department by
the Keep Commission, which. after com
pleting its work. recommended the abol-
ishment Of what was known as the "di-
vision system.
Under this system, which had grown
cumbersome with the cumulative growth
of business in the department heads of
bureaus were compelled 20 go through
division chiefs in their negotiations with
the Secretary of the Interior Instead of
addressing the Secretary direct. bureau
chiefs wrote their communications 10 the
intervening divisions. which in turn sent
other letters to the head Of the depart
ment.
This red-tape method was severely ar
raigne1 by the Keep Commission and
Secretary Hitchcock agreed with the COM
mission that IL should be abandoned. As
member Of the Keep Commission,
Secretary Garfield famihaFized hiTaseif
with every branch Of the Interior serv-
ice, and IS proceeding 10 reorganize and
introduce modern business methods. A
shake-up has already taken place in the
Land Office. Other bureaus OF the de-
partment win be visited later.

An interesting method OF applying
a preservative to railway sleepers
and timber IS described in LIndus-
trie E1ectrique OF Paris. The process
consists OF the artificial metalliza-
ton Of the pores OF the wood. the
metal being deposited electrically.
In brief, the method requires. first.
the application of a solution Of some
sait-sulphate of copper, for exam
ple-by placing the wood immersed
in the solution in a closed chamber
and subjecting It TO pressure The
wood Is thus thoroughly impregnated
with the solution II IS then taken
out. and piled up in layers in con-
crete reservoir. The first layer Of
timber is immersed in the same cop
per sulphate solution, and also rests
on a layer OF jute or other fibrous
material. which is supported BY an
eIectrode made Of woven strands of
conner. Similar electrodes are placed
between each layer Of timber as they
are piled up to the desired height
Alternate electrodes are then con
nected TO the opposite poles Of ar
alternating current supply, and the
current is allowed to pass The ac-
ton ig said 70 decompose the solu-
ton and set free metallic copper in
the pores of the wood. Besides the
preservatiye action In thus closing
the pores. It Is said that a certain
amount Of copper sulphate IS perma-

an additional and a decided pre-
seryative effect
