Preservation Of PlIing Against
Marine B0rerS.

The length of service of piles in
wharfs and other marine structures is
greatly shortened by the attack OF ma
rine borers, or shipworms. A method
of protection, both efficient and cheap,
is much needed, the more SO because
the timbers best suited for plllng are
becoming very scarce and are lncreas-
ing rapidly in price. =,
Marine bOrers are found as far north
as Maine and Alaska, though they are
more numerous and destructive in the
warmer waters farther south. Since
they require only small exposed sur
face i'll order to gain entrance and com
pletely destroy pile. any effective
means of preservation must protect the
wood from high-water mark to a point
in the mud below which the bOrers do
not 60.
A number of excellent methods have
been devised for protecting piling by
external coatings or sheathings, any OF
which, properly applied, will increase
the life of the pile. Three factors
which decrease their efficiency are the
corroding action of salt water, the
wash of the waves which Injuries and
often breaks the casing, and the dan
gers from floating timbers and debris.
Thick iron cases resist damage from
these sources for loug period, but
they are very expensive.
The injection of preservatlves
through holes bored in the top OF the
pile, or near the mud line, has failed
to secure distribution sufficient to
adequately protect the outer layers of
wood All soluble salts have also
shown tendency to leach out when
exposed to salt water. Improvisation
with creosote, a coal-tar product, has
usually proved highly efficient with
suitable kinds of timber properly pre-
pared, when a sufficient quantity OF
good creosote is used.
The principal timber used for pillng
are longeaf, shortleaf, and loblolly
pine, and white and red oak on the
Atlantic coast and Gulf of Mexico, and
Douglass fir on the Pacific coast.
Spruce, redwood, cedar, cypress, euca-
lyptus, and palmetto are used locally.
All of these woods with the exception
of palmetto are subject to damage by
borers. Hardness is not a complete
barrier to their attack, although boring
is probably slow in dense woods.
Southern pine and oak can be lmpreg-
mated with creosOte, and this promises
to be one of the most efficient means
of resisting the borers. 1t is probable
that some of these timbers can be sue
cessfully treated by the open-tank
process. However, if a very heavy alb
sorption is desired, treatment under
pressure may be the more efficient.
Circular 12s, just issued by the For
est Service, gives detailed description
of the most important marine borers
and their habits, together with a dis
cussion of the different forms of me-
chanical devices in use for the protec-
ton of piling and of protection by
chemical preseryatives. This publica-
ton will be sent free upon application
to the Forester, Dep rtment of Agri-
culture, Washington, D. c.

CAMDEN SAVINGS BANK SOLID.

VIM. B. Shelton, tine State bank ex-
aminer met the trustees and depositors
of the Camden Savings Bank in Cam
den Feb 10th. The unsettled conditions
which prevailed generally in the late
fall had led to demands for Withdrawals
which were in excess of the amount
that the bank could pay out without
either borrowing money at high rates
or sacrificing on the securities held by
the bank, and the bank examiner and
trustees, after canvassing the situation,
determined at that time that the inter
ests of all the depositors would be best
served by requiring the statutory notice
of intention to withdraw. Notices
were accordingly given and would begin
to mature in about two weeks. A meet
ing was called for Feb. 10th, invitations
to attend we're published in the local
papers and sent personally to those who
had signified their intention to with
draw their deposits, and the meeting
was very largely attended. The presi-
dent of the bank, Hon. H. E. Shepherd
Of Rockport, and the bank examiner,
explained the condition of the bank and
demonstrated its absolute solvency.
The depositors discussed the situation
with the bank examiner and voted en-
Enthusiastically to stand by the bank and
permit it to proceed without further
unusual demands.

How Maine Banknotes We're Made in the
Year 1900
Mr.. Joseph Wood of this city, grand
son of Major Abiel Wood who was first
president OF the Lincoln and Kennebec
bank, has presented to the Maine His
torical Society an engraved copper
plate, made in England, from which
were printed the six, seven, eight and
nine dollar notes issued by the Lincoln
and Kennebec bank at Wiscasset in the
year 1900.
At the end of each note is an engrav-
ing showing a river scene, saw mill: a
lumber yard, a waterfall, ship on the
stocks with pine forest in the back
ground, thus representing the leading
local industries of that time. The
notes of the different denominations
picture many types of vessels among
which are included a brig, ship, a
schooner, topsail schooner, sloop
and barque.
The value of the notes is indicated by
figures which are printed on engravings
of a fish, and the engravings on the diff
ferent denominations very much i'll de-
tail.-Portland Press.

Moving Sidewalk for Augusta.

gusta will be interested to know that
prominent men of that city contem.
plate the construction of moving side
walk, on the principle of the escafator
which is used in many large buildings,
by means of which the ascent of the
heights will be made easy-one merely
steps on and gets a ride, either wav.
The sidewalk will be built by stock
company and will cost, with the neces-
sary capital to put it in running basis,
in the neighborhood of $5O,OOO Joseph
Williamson and Lewis A. Burleigh are
indirectly interested in the project. A
location was given some time ago by
the municipal officers and a charter
was granted by the legislature of 1903
for the formation of such company to
place a sidewalk of this kind upon

Coffee as Remedy for Asthma.

Coffee is a very excellent remedy fol
asthma. Those who do not know how
to cut short their attacks and have moi
tried coffee should do so by all means
1t often succeeds admirably when al
most everything else has failed. There
are one or two little points to be at
tended to IN taking coffee for asthma.
In the first place, it should be very
strong-in fact, perfectly black. Weak
coffee does more harm than good. II
made very strong much of it need not
be taken, large quantity is positively
n disadvantage, for it is less rapidly alb
sorbed and only distends the stomach.
Then it should be given without sugar
or milk, pure cafe noir." 1t should be
given on an empty stomach, for when
taken on full stomach it often does
harm by putting a stop to the process
of digestion.-From the Family Doctor.

FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN.

the entire region about with Ice ana
water. We decided to stop here for
while and ate our lunch by the forest
hordered banks of the deep, still river.
Oh historic region! AS we breathe the
delicious summer air, sweet with the
aroma of pine and spruces, what
memories are brought to mind. 1t was
in this vicinity that Arnold and this
starving and ragged army suffered such
frightful hardships Oh the icy waters,
and where his sick and dying soldiers
lost heart. In my mind could see this
starving, pershing army in this far-otf
| wilderness. But hark Arnold is speak
ing to his officers in council. With that
courage which never failed him, he
points his sword towards the north and
gives the word of command: For
ward, we will live to fight with Mont
gomery on the blood swept Plains OF
Abraham" Just as he laid his sword
down near Burr, two of Morgan's rifle
men who were, picked men, and whom
he had sent down the river to learn the
condition of detachment OF soldiers
who were ill and whom he had left in
charge of one of his otfjcers, came run
ming up to him and reported that the
horrors of the march was too much for
them and that they were already on
their way down the river i'll full retreat.
"What!' Numbered Arnold, as his brow
grew black, ''GeserterS i'll our army?
May God nerve Washington's arm to
hang them as traitors! Though L may
face death in a thousand forms at every
step | will proceed" Then turning to
Captain Daniel Morgan, he ordered him
to take a few boats and picked men and
press on up the river with him to the
first Canadian parish on the Chaudiere
where he would gather supplies for his
starving army. Then with few words
of instruction to his officers to follow
along with the utterly destitute army
as best they could, he jumped into
boat in which stood Capt. Morgan and
a few picked men and was roWed up the
swollen, icy river, through the wild
storm.
After spending an hour at this place,
we left the Dead river and followed an
other tote road along Alder stream and
arrived at the Lawrence and Page farm
late in the afternoon. We were in
deed glad to find a large house with
modern Improvements hidden away in
a heavy thunder shower came up and
etsfulI, and rivers of water were soon
running past the house into the muddy
stream. After it let up, stepped out
of the house to look around bit. The
climate is ideal here in the summer
time; neither too hot nor too cool. OF
course we had some warm days, but
nothing uncomfortable. There is never
a night in this section in summer but
what one can go to bed in comfort by
s O'clock and then need sheet or a
light puff over them.
IN my next article will write of our
trip from this farm through the wilder
ness to the chain of lakes over which
General Arnold crossed with his army.
These lakes, nesting among the Kilby
mountains, are among the most wild
and beautiful have ever seen, outside
the Lakes of Killarney in Ireland.
