FRENCH WOMAN A SCOUT.
Nine. May Risked Her Life to Gain In
formation and Carry Dispatches.

An application for a license to open
tobacco bureau has brought to public
notice in France a forgotten war heroine,
Nine. May. who in 1870 distinguished
herself by series of daring exploits.
She was bon. II 1914 near LIE Mans
and was living al Metz at the time the
war broke eat. Sac offered her services
as a scout ANA was accepted. At first
she drove about the country in cart
and after some time adopted masculine
attire, which would permit her more
easily to move about among the soldiers.
Her cleyerness in avoiding detection,
as well as her courage, was soon recog-
nized and she was charged with carry
ing important dispatches to the furthest
outposts along the frontier villages,
which exposed her constantly to the risk
of being caught and shot as a spy.
She was in fact captured one day as
she was carrying three important mes
sages through the enemy's lines to the
commander of the besieged forces at
Thionville. She was searched by the
Germans, who, to their honor be it said,
treated her most decently and sent her
away free but with strict orders not to
cross their lines again.-Paris Cor. Lon

WILLOW WARE INDUSTRY.
Ten Per Cent. of Manufacturers Grow
Their Own Willows.

Investigations made by the forest
service show that there are about one
hundred and sixty manufacturers OF VIII
low ware in this country. Ten per cent.
of them grow their own willows and as
many more grow part of their stock.
The manufacturers assert that the will
low rods grown in the United States are
superior to any that are imported. 1t
is contended that willow farm prop
erly handled will pay proht the hrst
year, with much larger profits IN sue
ceeding years.
At this time the average price of IN
peeled rods is about S1.25 per 100
pounds, while peeled rods bring cents
per pound. If properly managed viii
low farm will produce about $500 pounds
of rods annually to the acre. The cost
of planting and harvesting is compare
lively low and the small grower need be
at no expense for hired help.
Detailed instructions for the growing
of basket willows will be furnished free
to anybody ON request by the forest
service, and it will also supply gratis III
the early spring cuttings from all APP
proved basket willows.
A willow farm should be established
in connection with every institution for
the blind. as basket weaving is an ac-
complishment which those unfortunates
may acquire readily. AS the labor is
not hard, basket weaving might prove of
physical, mental and financial benefit to
the inmates of institutions for the aged
and infrm which are maintained at pub
lie expense or by religious denomina-
tons.
When to get a product it is necessary
only to stick a willow slip into the moist
soil beside any stream, there is no rea-
son why this country should not supply
all the material for wickerware needed
here. There is no danger that we shall
grow too many trees of any kind. With
so many reasons why we should plant
more of them, it is indeed strange that
so few willows are set out.

DOUBLING LIFE OF TIMBER.
Experiments by Mining Companies Hav;
Produced Important Results.

Plants for treating mine timbers ans.
railroad ties are to be erected by the
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron
company and the Delaware, Lackawan
ia x Western Railroad company, in the
Pennsylvania anthracite region.
This action follows 4 series Of tests
with wood preservatives made by tht
coal and iron company. The tests showed
that by the proper application of creosote
and zlnc Chord the life of peeled, sea-
scned timber was more than doubled.
Indeed. much of the timber treated may
last throughout the life Of the mine.
AS consequence of these tests. which
were made with the cooperation of the
forest service, the companies are about
to treat round and square mine timberS
and railroad ties on Il large scale. The
forest service is supervising the construc
ton of the necessary plants, and will
place them on satisfactory working
basis.
The preservative treatment of mining
timbers has become an important matter
for anthracite miners because of the
growing local scarcity of the supply.
The chestnut and oak, near at hand,
have been practically exhausted, and the
Pennsylvania pitch pine can be used only
i'll small quantities. Birch, beech, and
shortleaf pines from Virginia and South
Carolina are now being drawn into use.
At the same time economy of conSump-
ton is being sought through using pre-
servatiyes to reduce the decay of tim
Lers in the mines. and cutting over waste
to save and utilize sound portions.
Transportation of timber from remote
forests means high freight charges. a
great loss of time, and an uncertain sup
ply. Decay in timber shipment has fire.
Quently forced the suspension of opera
tons requiring timbers Of peculiar size.
Closer utilization and adding to the life
of timber in service by means of chem
ical treatment afford the best ways of
solving the problem.
With a view to widening the field OF
supply. several additional kinds Of tim
her have been introduced in mining work.
For example. for shaft and breaker-cOn-
strUctiOn timber Douglas fir has been
procured from the state of Washington,
at lost not greater than the price of the
longleaf pine; round cypress props have
been purchased at shortleaf pine prices;
and market has been found for black
gum in the pulleys and rollers of slopes
and rope haulage ways.
BY way of utilizing partially decayed
timber, round gangWay props have been
sawed into short planks and small dimen-
sion material, with profitable results. 1t
il said that a surprisingly large amount
- sound lumber may be cut out of
discarded mine props formerly considered
rotten and worthless.-New York Even

WHEN THE WHALES EAR ACHES
Leaps Out of the Water Due to the Tor
ture bV a Parasite.

LuIG NY EdkdSAISs
It was a story told by whaler who
retired from the sea when the catch of
the deep sea game had so fallen off that
there was no longer any profit in cap
tain's lay even with the added earnings
from the slop chest. But as it has been
confirmed by the biologists of the fish
commission the truth Of tile story is I'M
assaila BILE.
When the whales were still frequent
along the lanes of passenger travel
across the western ocean nothing was
more common than to see the great
beasts hurting their tons of bulk clean
out of the waves and after a fight
through the air falling back into the sea
with an enormous splash and jets Of
foam, a spectacle never failing Of inter
est to the ocean tourist but not due to
any gleesome sportive disposition ON the
part of the leviathan of the deep.
Quite the contrary, Che preaching of
the whale is no fun for the beast, it is
n frantic effort to rid himself of the tor
ment Of carache. There is marine
crustacean whose aim in a maritime ca
reer is to poster, whales to the verge of
endurance, and there seems reason to be-
lieve that some whales have been driven
insane by their tiny parasites. 1t is a
crab of about the size of that which is
found in the oyster. When it lodges on
the whale it infests the inner surface of
the eyelids and the ear. By swift rushes
on the surface the whale is able to clear
his eyes, but the crab in the inner ear
ear cannot be dislodged by any such
means. One can only imagine the ninety
foot anguish of a whale when one or
more of these tiny foes walk with needle
pointed claws up and down the drum Of
his ear. Hence in the effort to dislodge
the pest the performance which seems so
picturesque to the voyager.-New York
