Doors and Thinkers.

Edison's recent announcement that
he has at last solved the problem of
the electrical storage battery is skep-
tically received by the practical man.
In the face of all that has been
wrought by the sheer force of mind
man Of action is still inclined to claim
that all the success which is worth
having Is gained by making the most
of things as they are and wasting no
time in dreaming of what might be.
And now and then practical man
says that anyway the limit of inven-
ton has been reached and the proper
thing is to "let well enough alone"
But the record remains with the one
who holds that the brain of man is
given him to keep busy. His dominion
over the world has not been secured
~ simply eating the fruit that grows
on bread trees. The practical man
scrap heap and installs a new one, and
that is just what the man of brains is
doing when he tackles the new way,
the new thought, the new doctrine and
the higher law" Had the practical
mans advice been followed we would
now be toothless race Of beings.

ancestors from silhouette portraits
and have no music to cheer the spir-
Its, no art to inspire the soul and no
literature to direct and adorn the mind
There may be inventions dreamed over
which would not be worth while. but
it is noticeable that all great inven-
tons, all substantial reforms even,
have come through pegging away on
practical lines, with the practical needs
of human nature acting as the spur
to ceaseless effort, to unconquerable
faith. to courage that leaps all obsta-
Giles and knows no such word as fail.

Land of the Toughest Wood.

Hickory ranks only twelfth among
the hard woods in the country's annual
timber cut, according to the census re-
port for 1906. So far as quantity is
concerned, it is not to be compared
with white oak or yellow poplar. But
1t is used today for a number of pur-
poses which require toughness and
great strength, and no other wood oc-
curing in considerable quantity COM
bines these properties in a greater de-
gree than do some of the hickories.
Peculiar interest is given to the status
Of the available supply Of hard woods
by the fact that hickory is distinctive
ly an American genus. 1t occurs only
in the eastern part of the United
States. and large quantities Of hickory
handles, spokes, wheels and other parts
Of vehicles and farm implements are
exported each year to all parts of the
world.
During the past two years the forest
service has been conducting a study
of the vehicle industry, supplemented
by large number of tests to deter
mine the relative effect Of various de-
fects upon the strength Of vehicle
stock and to ascertain the relative
strength OF white and red hickory. The
results of these studies have been
made the subject of forest service
publication, which will be issued
shortly.
