DEFECTIVE INSULATION
CAUSES SMALL FIRE

Defective insulation on the wires
carrying the current to the rear motors
of the Pasadena bound car number
293 caused a small fire on North Los
Angeles street about 2:30 yesterday
afternoon with several fainting scenes
as a sequel.
Three men who were repairing the
street responded to the conductors
call for aid. Several of the passengers
said they had smelt smoke Immediately
after the car had left the Sixth street
depot a few minutes before. No at
tention was paid to it at first, but the
increased volume of smoke caused pc
destrians to call to the people on the
car.
After several unsuccessful attempts
to put out the fire the workmen SHOW
eled sand upon the rear truck and
smothered the flames.

twenty minutes behind hand. His
wife was entertaining Mr.. and Mrs.

effusive cordiality, he said:

II beg your pardon, love; but you
are certainly mistaken this time. You
probably forgot to mention it. On
the whole, I'm glad you did. 1t is a
delightful surprise"
Mrs. Urban was a spirited woman.
Thus unjust accusation came near
overthrowing her courtesy. Her lips
parted. then shut decisively; but a
slight frown fingered on her forehead.
Little Tommy read her face. He
knew all about his fathers poor mem
ory, and he felt it his duty both to
refresh it and to defend his mother.

REMOVED AT LAsT.-A West Point
cadet, some years ago, was told by his
instructor to draw up the plans and
specifications for railroad viaduct 10
connect two high hills, between which
ran a small stream.
In due course an excellent set OF
drawings was presented, one showing
the bridge in its completion with
sketch Of the surroundings, and on
which sat two men, with their legs
hanging over the side, fishing. The
drawing was returned with the request
that the men be removed from the
bridge.
Upon receiving the paper the. second
time the professor discovered that his
instruction had been carried out, but
that the two men were seated on the
bank Of the stream, still in quest OF
representatives Of the finny tribe.
Again was the paper returned, and
this time with positive orders to re-
move the men from the drawing alto
gether. Imagine the CONSERVATION
which overspread the features OF the
Learned instructor" upon receiving
the papers for the third time, to find
two little graves and tombstones, with
appropriate epitaphs, situated near the
bank Of the stream. His orders had
been obeyed, and the men removed al
together.
Needless to say that the cadet was
forgiven for this breach Of discipline,
and the unintentional disrespect to his
senior officer was overlooked.-Har-

Compressed Air In Logging.

Machine saws of practical value for
cutting standing timber have never
been perfected, largely because the nee
essary power has not been available,
and also on account of the danger and
difficulty in handling a machine Of any
kind in rough forest land. The same
is true in the main Of saving the fell
ed timber into standard logs.
An exception to the latter is found on
the lands Of the McCloud River Lum-
Der company, in Siskiyou county Cal,
where a compressed air "bucking-up''
saw has been successfully used for
some years, says the Scientific Ameri-
can. The trees are felled by hand and
cut into log lengths by the machine
saw. The company operates on COM
paratively level land near the base of
Mount Shasta, where the forest OF
yellow pine, sugar pine and white fir
is composed of unusually large indi-
vidual trees in open stands. The
ground cover is a rather dense chapar-
raj.
The machine consist Of traction
engine equipped with an air compress
sor and a storage tank. To the air
tank are attached rubber hose which
give a working radius. Of 300 feet.
The saws, which are similar to a heavy
crosscut saw, are actuated by piston
working in a small cylinder set in a
movable frame, which can readily be
attached to logs Of any diameter
