 A peculiar eoincidepee happened this morning in connection with MT. Bal lard's return to the city with the news that the man he came from London to find is dead. He is a jolly sort of Englishman-clever, too-so some friends at the Cawthon had planned a joke for him. They had picked out an old man of about 80 years, whom they intended to introduce to Ballard as the missing heir. They were about ready to make the introduction today when they stumbled on the informa tion that Ballard had found his man to be dead, and the ship was saved at the expense of some promised fun.

WILKINSON PLEASED
COMMISSIONER WRITES
 TO WASHINGTON,
Tells Department of Agriculture of Successful Experiments With Cre0sotfng Pine Posts by MT.
 fiIl nt Maplesvi1le.

l Washington, Sept, 13-(Special)-- Reports from Alabama indicate that excellent progress has been made in the cooperative experiments in wood preservation which are being carried on between the State and the Forest Service of the Department of Agricui- ture.
 Tn letter to the Forest Service re- ceived yesterday Hon. J. A. Wilkin- son, Commissioner of~Agriculture and Industries of Alabama, says:
 The experiment of creosoting posts at Maplesville conducted by MT. c. L. Hill on September 5, was great suc- cess. There was a grand barbecue given and at least 5000 people were present. The lecture on creosoting timbers and preserving the forests by Mir Hill was very interesting and In my opinion will do a great deal of good. The posts were creosoted. and afterwards some. of them were sawed into several pieces, others were split and Mir Hiil had these samples on the platform with him and explained the method of creosoting to the satisfac- tion of the large crowd.
 "we are very much pleased with the co-operation. so far. with your depart ment and think a great deal of good is beifg done in our State and we be- fieve from our experiments at Naples vile, that the old field or marsh pine can be successfully creosoted without much heat simply by allowing them to lie in the coal oil for twenty-four hours. We placed some of these posts in the cold oil vat and allowed them to remain over night. about twelve hours, next morning we found that the oil had penetrated at least one inch. which indicates that this can possibly be done with this species of wood without much heat
 "Mr. Hill says it Is the most porous wood that he has ever seen and Is now inclined to believe that posts made from this wood can be successfully creosoted with the cold oil process.
