the girls of the institution for Il

roundabout way what was causing the
trouble. A number Of thc girls were
summoned to the RECEIPT lon room and
she chattcd with them amiably for Il

flags at present used on rifle ranges
to indicate the direction of the wind.
The vanc above the clock dial is set

How Russia Obtains Naval Stores.

A glance at the way in which naval
stores arc obtained in Russia serves
to show what is likely 10 happen in
this country when the longlcaf pine
forests, from which onr naval stores
for turpcntine. rosin, tar, and pitch.
have been depleted.
Red pine. called by the botanists
Pinus sylveSlris. IS the tree which the
Russians exploit for rosin. as the
longlcaf pine Of the Southern States
is exploited in this country. In So
curing the roSin the Russians chip the
trees much as we do. but far small
lcr yield is secured.
Each years chipping extends about
three feet vertically. and all the way
around The tree except For Il strip Of
bark about two inches wide. just Suf-
flclcnt to keep the free alive. After
five years chipping this strip Of
bark is also cut and the tree soon
dies.
On account Of the col,lncSS Of the
climate where the red pine grows. the
roSm does not flow readily. but hard
ems soon after it cXldes from ,hc
tree. II is necessary. therefore. to
expose large surface in order TO
eci sufficient yield. Nor does the
roSln flow far enough TO be caught
in liquid form in "boxcS' or cups. aS
II does in this country. Therefore il
has to be Sclaped off after it hardcns.
Tie whole product. which amounts to
only about two ounces a year from
each tree. is comparable with the
"scrapc' which forms only small
part Of the yield obtained in warmc:
climates.
Spirits of turpentine and rosin are
prepared from this crude resin bv
distillation with steam in the usual
manner. The tree is utilized further
than this. however. The outside
slabs with Scared surfaces, to which
some resin still adheres, are treated
either in the old fashioned pit kiln
or in closed iron retorts for the pro-
duction of tar, charcoal, and wood
turpentnc. The rest of the tree is
used for fuel and for making the
barrels in which the products are
shipped
1t is possible that after our south
ern turpentine pine becomes CONNER
clally extinct. some Of the resinous
trees OF the colder parts Of the Unit
cd States may be utilized like the
red pine of Russia as source of ma
val stores, although the yield may be
small aud the process tedious.

Gold Brick Industry in Kansas.

1t is conceded that there is high
measure of prosperity and that there
IS plenty Of money to use, if needed.
The crop Of gold bricks harvested has
been enormous. a life insurance fis-
cal agency, just collapsed, took in
100000, nearly all in Kansas, dur
ing the past three years, and all was
lost. One county 200 miles west has
according to a bankers estimate
sunk $4,000 in patent rights, min
ing schemes, land spcculations in
Mexico, &C., practically all Of il lost.
In addition, it has purchased since
May, 1907, over 100 automobiles cost
ing at least 100000. and is shipping
in more every week. All this ac-
counts for some Of the earnings Of
the prosperous WcStcrncrs, and shows
why they are hesitating on ordinary

The purpose of the meeting Is to de-

at present opinion in the committee
Is somewhat divided. 1t Is held by
those against allowing the matter to
be heard without entering a defense,
that the United States smelter con-
tains large number of copper fur
naces, and that the claim that a way
has been found to do away with the
damages from their stacks Is a mere
fiction. The farmers claim that their
case Is very different from that of the

pany, which runs only "A lead smelter.
