STANDS OF LODGE POLE PINE.

Timber Already Popular for Which
a Larger Demand Is Expected.
The lodge pole pine. gained Its name
from its wide use by the Indians as a
support for their tepees Since the In
dams Of the Rocky Mountain region
dragged their lodge poles to the plains
when on hunting trips, timber of
requisite height but small diameter
was sought, and this the lodge pole
pine provided without trimming.
Lodge pole pine attains an age Of
from 100 to 800 years. 1t quickly sue
cumbs to fire on account Of its thin
bark, but to q certain extent guards
against extinction by this cause by
producing fertile cones at the early age
OF from 6 to 10 years.
The yield runs rs high as 10000
board feet per acre, though 1t does not
often run over 1000 board feet. The
tree Is Of small size, seldom exceeding
1S inches In diameter and 30 feet in
height, but it usually forms dense
stands. 1t is valuable for poles, hew-
ed ties, mine props, stulls, logging poles,
converter poles and box boards. The de-
mand for lodge pole pine for hewed
ties liz especially strong for two rea-
sons; the wood hews easily, and, since
the common size of the tree Is from II
to Il inches in diameter breast high,
there is little hewing to be done. Ex-
| periments on large scale looking to-
ward the use Of lodge pole for paper
pulp will be tried by the purchasers Of
timber from one of the national for
| ests. The rate Of growth is very slow
| after the first few years.
Thirty-eight years ago lodge pole
pine was cut for railroad ties in south
| ern Wyoming. Only the best trees
were taken, and the trees left are now
approaching merchantable size. By
the settlers lodge pole pine Is used for
many purposes especially for house
| logs, fuel and fencing. Because Of its
| tendency to decay when set in the
ground, fences are built on top Of the
| ground and braced thus increasing the
| life Of the post" from three to five to
| fifteen years. Preseryative treatment
is now being introduced, which will
| greatly enhance the value Of the wood
| for posts, telephone poles, ties and
mine timbers. Railroad companies are
already treating ties on a large scale
at Laramie and Sheridan, Wyoming

Soau In pomneif.

A soap-boiler's shop was among the
things discovered in the excavations at
Pompeii, several years ago. The city,
you will remember, was buried beneath
volcanic ashes A. D. 70. It Is said
hat the soap found in the shop had
1ot lost all it's efficacy, although 1t had
ain under the ashes for more than
t,SO0 years. Soap-making was quite a
business in number of the Italian
titles at the time that Pompeii was de-
ttroyed Pliny. the elder, speaks of
soap, and says that because its price
VAS so high, many substitutes were
1sed, among them kind of glutinous
Earth and fine sand mixed in the juice
u certain plants that made lather.
History tells us that the Gauls made
soap, 1000 years ago, by combining
aeech-tree ashes and goats fat.

pointed out by the doubters that the

An odd Place OF Worship.

Burma can show the Oldest place of
ownership to be found anywhere in the
world Some miles out Of Mou1mein,
In the middle Of great plain, stands
a lone rock so peculiar In form as never

the caves which honeycomb this fort
ress were transformed from the hab-
itats Of bats and wild animals into
places Of devotion. Thousands of
images of Buddha are carved on the
walls, and in every chamber buonze,
stone or wooden gods are standing, sit
ting or reclining in endless silence. It
is computed that many millions Of feet
have pressed the earthen floors OF these

A good deal Of prominence Is being
given in the German press to the ques-
ton of machine guns and their place
in the German army, which Is one OF
great and increasing Importance. Ihe
German gun is capable of 600 shots
minute, but rarely delivers more than
from $50 to 400. It has been proved
that the fire Of these guns Is more ac-
curate than infantry volley firing. The
whole theory Of machine guns, as I'M
derstood in Germany, is that of massed
effect. No single gun fire. Everything
Ia reserved for terrible hail when
the attack Is fully developed.

An Achromatfc Lens.

Many of the boys and girls, no doubt,
have read or heard of an achromatic
lens, without knowing exactly what
the term means. It means lens that
transmits light without dividing 1t into
Its constituent colors. A ray Of ordi-
nary light is composed Of the seven
colors of the rainbow, as Sir Isaac
Newton showed us by the use OF the
prism, each color having different de-
gree of refrangibility. When direct
ray Is refracted, therefore, 1t divides
itself into the colored rays, which devil
ate yariously from the straight line OF
the simple ray and thus surround the
object viewed with halo Of those
colors. It was thought for long time
that this defect could not be remedied,
but about 1850 a man named John Dol
land made an improvement that ac-
complished the desired purpose. He
found that flint glass and crown glass
differ in their power of dispensing col
ors. and he made double lens, a con
vex lens Of crown glass, and concave
lens Of flint glass, and the combination
Of the two give an almost colorless
image The achromatic lens is of great
value to astronomers, and also to users

Few Animals I'm Japan.


Japan has few domestic animals
The stranger, in looking on Japanese
landscape, Is struck with the absence
of cows; the natives do not eat meat
or drink milk. There are only few
horses, and they are imported mainly
for the use of foreigners. The freight
ears in the city streets are pulled or
pushed by coolies, and the pleasure
carriages are drawn by men. Only
foreigners use dogs in any way. OF
sheep there are none, silk and cotton
being used for clothing Instead of wool.
There are no pigs, and pork is an I'M
known article of food. Nor are there
any mules, donkeys or goats Wild
animals abound, however, particularly
Bears, some, of which are of gigantic
size.

would be that China was the whole

Reea and BOYS.

In many Of the California apiaries
boys are being employed almost alto
gether to take care of the bees. It is
only tn sWarming time that other help
is needed. After a little experience a
boy can care for many hives, and it is
said that they are not stung as often
as the men.
y It has been figured up that farm
er's boy who Is given five hives of bees
to begin with, and who will work in
dustriously, can make more money in
ten years than his father can on a
farm Of 100 acres. Glover honey brings
a good price, and the market Is always
short OF 1t.
