BURDENS WOOD WILL CARRY.
Strength and Elasticity Show Singu-
lar Variations.

Some tests which have been made
during the last year lead the Depart
ment of Agriculture (Forest Serv-
ice) to declare that wooden beam
which for a short period will sus-
tain safely a certain load, may break
eventually if the load remains. For
instance, wooden beams have been
known to break after about flf-
teen months under constant load
of only sixty per cent. or that re-
ouired to break them in an ordinary
Short test. There is only little def
mite and systematic knowledge of
the influence of the time element on
the behavior of wood under strain.
This relation of the duration OF
stress to the strength and stiffness
of wood is now being studied by the
Forest Service at it's timber testing
stations at Yale and Perdue univer-
sites.
The experiments of the Forest
Service show that the effects of grad
ually applied loads are different
from those of an impact. or sudden
stroke, provided that the stress ap-
piled by either method is within the
elastic limit of the piece under test.
For example, stick will bend twice
as far without showing loss OF elas-
ticity under impact, or when the load
is applied by blow, as 1t will under
the gradually increasing pressure
ordinarily used in testing. These
experiments are being extended to
determine the general relations be-
tween strength under impact and
gradual loads. AS the case now
stands, however, there would seem
to be a good excuse for those loco
motive engineers who think it wiser
to take weak trestle at high speed
than to slow down for it.
The Department of Agriculture
mentions the common belief among
Dolemen that the continual vibration
to which telephone poles Is subject
ed take the life out of the wood and
render it brash and weak. Nothing
is definitely known as to the truth
or falsity of this idea. Tests will be
undertaken to determine the effect
of constant vibration on the strength
of wood.

Fruit Kept IS Years For Wedding.

"This jar Of ruit will never be
opened until the first member of our
family is married" More than eight
cen years ago well-known woman
of the South Side, while putting up
fruit, sealed one of the jars and
placed it to one side, with the above
remark. For eighteen years and
more it has stood in one part of the
cupboard awaiting the appointed
time. Hundreds of other jars OF
fruit have been put up and opened
again, but the one jar has never
been touched from then till now.
The time for the opening of the
jar is near at hand, however. In
fact, it will likely be opened within
the next week, for the Gath of the
present month is the date which Is
said to have been selected for the
marriage of the eldest son.-Latrobe

HOW THE BROWNIES RAN AWAY.

HOW THE BROWNIES RAN AWA1.
On Paul's birthday a box came
from Aunt Matte with the incest
little brown figures in it you ever
saw. There were four for each OF the
children; for Ruth and Paul always
celebrated their birthdays together,
and thus had two every year.
"I'll take the boys, and you may
have the girls" said Paul. Its my
birthday, and mamma said l could
have first choice"
"Goody!" cried Ruth, clapping her
little hands. II like the girls the
best"
The children called them Brownies,
and soon each Brownie had a name.
Lucy and Nellie and Rosamond ana
Polly stood in the side window, while
Paul's four boys had the place OF
honor in the front window waiting
for papa to come to dinner. 1t was
a bright winter day, so the children
went out to coast down hill after ex-
amining all the presents, and the
Brownies were forgotten for little
while.
80 pap, auntie sent us the incest
little dolls you ever saw said Ruth,
running to meet her father.
"They aren't dolls, they're Brown
ies," said Paul. "Mine are in the
front window"
Papa looked, but no Brownies ap-
peared. Ruth hurried around to the
side of the house, and hers were gone
out of the window where she placed
them. "Some one must have taken
them out of the windows" said papa.
1--WE will see when we get into the
house. Shake the snow off we'll, for
mamma doesn't like to have it on the
carpets"
mo, I didn't put the Brownies
| away" said mamma when they asked
/ her about them. Perhaps Sarah
did"
There were hot water radiators In
front of each window, and the chill
dren stopped down to look under
them, but no Brownies were in sight
"Some one stole them," said Paul,
while Ruth looked ready to cry. u
lust wish | had the thief"
"They couldn't be stole right out
! of the sitting room, children" said
papa. "That is impossible. You'll
find them one of these days just
where you put them for safe keep
ing"
Just then the postman brought In
a letter from Aunt Matte, and NAM
ma laughed great deal when she
read it. "Your Brownies were not
stolen, Children" she said. "They
ran away. Auntie says they are
made of chocolate, to eat, instead OF
being dolls to play with"
But how could they run aWay?''
asked two voices at once.
"See!" Their papa held them up
above the radiator; And there under
each window were four thick, brown
streams where the heat had melted
the poor Brownies. The wall paper
was brown, so the poor little men and
women did not make much show Oh
the wall.
Mamma scraped part of the Brown
les off with dull knife, and the next
places they ran were down two little
red lanes. Can you guess what the
lanes were?-Hilda Richmond, IL

CAR DID NOT STOP
East End Man Just Escaped Inc
 Wheels of Car.

Patrick Mooney. a lifelong resi- dent of the east end, had very nar- row escape from being seriously in- jured yesterday morning while alighting from car going at a fast rate of speed on East Main street. As it was MT Mooney was thrown to the ground and rolled in such man. her that he almost landed under the wheels. MT Mooney signalled the conductor, 50 he says, to stop near the Hackett block on East Main street, but evidently the man on the end did not see him give the sign, so the car did not stop. When MT Mooney saw that the rolling stock was not going to halt he determined to get off even though he had to jump. The car was just passing Bernard Reid's house when MT Mooney dropped from the running board. He landed so that he was hurled along the street and under the running board. It seemed as though he would surely be crushed under meath the rear wheels. When he was picked up he was found to be badly shaken up, but no bones were broken.

WOMEN's WORK AT MINES.
Very Few Work Underground--In Africa They Carry Heavy Loads.

Africa They Carry Heavy Loads. Until recently women were em- ployed in England in connection with surface work in coal mining ard brick works. The women were found to be very strong, but they were
 otherwise unsatisfactory and were
 ultimately dispensed with at the col lieries. The coal mines regulation act of Great Britain prohibits woman
 labor being employed underground. In German Southwest Africa an investigator found many native
 women at work about the mines. They were useful in carrying in loads. especially of firewood. The women labor was cheap and as long
 as they were left alone to take as
 much time as they liked over the work and do it as they wished they were all right.
 His experience was higher up the coast, in West Africa. Labor was
 short and they decided to try women
 to carry stones. They carried the first two loads and then they struck. Those women quite altered tte conditions of carrying stones. They carried them for a certain distance,
 but three or four relays had to be provided. After that they were tried at carrying sand and things like that. They went on for a short while, but did the work in fits and starts.
 In another place also on the West
 Coast, where women had been tried
 against the black men, it was found that for carrying in f1rewood they
 were by far the best and cheapest There, of course, they were on piece work, although their tickets werc
 marked just the Same as if they were Ion day work.
 Their task was to carry in cord of wood day. They used to start about 4:30 a. m. and went on carry
 ing until and from 7:30 till or
 10. Then If they wanted to get off
 early the next day they used to carry another cord of wood in the after
 noon or part of 1t.
 They were decided success, but they were very particular as to
 whether the cord of wood was exact ly in what they called their circle.
 They did not mind how close 1t was
 to the boilers, but if 1t were little
 over their distance they would go to
 the manager and want an increase
 directly.
 Some women used to carry about
 100 pounds on their heads; on an
 average about S5 to s5 pounds of wood.
 Statistics published In the Mining World from time to time show that there are number of women enl- ployed in the coal mines of Belgium
 and Germany, for instance, as pick CTS and sorters. Tn Germany women
 receive from 27 to 2s cents per day.

MILK GOES UP
Seven Cenls a Quart Inc Price
 From Ibis Date.

The Milkmen's association met Saturday night and after long talk decided to advance the price of milk beginning to-day, from four to Ave cents to retail. from six and quar- ter cents to seven cents a quart de- livered from cans. and from seven to eight cents quart, delivered In bottles. This schedule will be :n force until November 1. and prob ably longer. The reason for the new price is occasion by the long drought which has necessitated graining the cows right along. almost the same as in winter. There is no grass to speak of and between hunting here and there in search of green spot and beating of flies the cows have nearly all they can do without producing any milk. Then again labor costs more than in the past so that all things considered the dealers have to hustle to make the business pay.

OFFICER ATTACKED
Offenders in Court - Judge
 Peasley Had a Full House.

John McMahon, William Byron, John Morrissey and Thomas Stack had run in" with Officer Neagle on Baldwin street with the result that all four landed in the police station. Officers Kiersted and Grady assisting Neagle in making the arr rests. In city court this morning be- fore Judge Peasley, the prisoners were accused of drunkenness. breach of the peace and resistance. Neagle said that the men were all ''mulled" when he met them first at the foot of Washington street. He requested them to go home as they were acting in hilarious manner. But instead of going to their homes, they simply heaped abuse upon the officers head, so he said. Later he placed Stack, whose left eye was entirely closed, under arrest for being abusive. Near Stone street one of Stacks compan- Ions, according to the officer, said here's the place to get him." Neagle thinking he was about to be attacked pulled his gun and fired two shots, thinking that he could frighten the men, but this had not the desired enect. A moment later he said that his jaw was the recipient of couple of healthy wallops and for moment he was dazed. Officers Kiersted and Special Officer Grady who Is doing regular duty were on lower Baldwin street. They were informed by Byron and Morrissey, who in the meantime had gone down Baldwin street, that they had been assaulted on Pleasant street by couple of men. But Grady and kiersted hastened past Pleasant street when they heard Neagle rap. Later they came back and got Byron and Morrissey. Byron and Morrissey admitted they were drunk, but de- clared they were not with Stack and McMahon. The latter also stated that the other two were strangers to them. Each was fined $10 and costs on the charge of drunkenness and and breach of peace, and given 30 days in jail on the charge of resist ance. Each took an appeal under bonds of $100.
 Jane Conaty. James Curley and Patrick Creedon were charged with drunkenness. Curley and Creedon were given 30 days in jail while Jane was fined $7 and costs; to report to the probation officer. The woman when asked what kind of ale sne crank. said: Root beer.'
 Lewis Eubare for drunkenness was given $5 and costs, probation officer; Thomas Murphy for similar offense$10 and costs, probation.
 Castro Paolo, drunk, $10 and costs, probation.
 Silavo Curiazo. John Cavasile and Nicola Pietro were charged W breach of the peace. Prosecuting Att torney Meigs wanted all three found guilty, Attorney Frank Guilfoile was working in the interests of Pietro, while Representative Abner Hayes tried to show that Curiazo and Cavasile were not to blame. Each was fined $10 and costs.
 John Bradley was accused of steal- ing set of drawing tools from room in the Corcoran home on Scovill street where he boarded. He entered Jacobs pawn shop on Saturday morn ing and Detective Kennaugh was in the rear of the store. On the advice of the officer Jacobs bought the tools for $1. Kennaugh had not much diff ficulty in learning that they were stolen. Bradley pleaded guilty and was given 30 days in jail.
