Remarkable Invention

A curious little machine has been
invented whereby. when the heat Of
a candle is applied to it for the frac-
tion of minute, a man weighing $50
pounds can be raised several inches.
This wonderful piece of mechanism is
known as the regitherm, and it's pur-
pose is to control the temperature in
houses by closing and opening the
drafts in stoves and furnaces Her
metically sealed within the regitherm
is a small amount OF volatile liquid, the
vapor of which changes its pressure at
the rate of one half pound per square
inch for each degree Of change in tenn
perature. A change of a single degree
in the temperature develops a force of
Is pounds within the motor. This force
acts to expand the vessel through a
distance OF half an inch. and this move
ment is magnified eightfold in being
transmitted to the dampers. thus I'M
parting to the latter a movement of 4
inches-London Globe.

IA ". Hansen, the California animal
painter. whose work has for some time
been exhibited exclusively in the Pot
ter art gallery, Santa Barbara, has met
with great appreciation, his output for
last season being entirely sold, most
of the pictures going to big private
collectors in New York and Chicago.
An art lover Of st. Louis bought re-
Gently six canvases worth $4,000, two
Of which were forwarded to his chill
dren in Europe. A translation of two
letters received by the curator of the
Potter gallery shows the estimation in
which Hansen's work is held by Euro
pean critics. Being of interest to the
art public they are given in full:
The painting by H. w. Hansen is
now being exhibited In Heinemann' S
galleries in Munich and draws daily
large crowds, all anxious to see Indian
life as it is in your far western coun-
try. Kowalsky, the noted Russian
horse painter, living in Munich, pro-
nounced il a perfect gem and could not
understand why Hansen does not live
here with his famous compatriot, Toby
Rosenthal

GOVERNMENT WINS
SIX GRAZING CASES
Courts Sustain Agriculture De-
partment Ruling on Ma
tiOnal Forests
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

WASHINGTON. Nay 16.-The govern
ment has just won its sixth important
case concerning the validity of the reg
ulations made by the secretary Of agri-
culture TO control grazing in the na-
tionai forests. In the United States
court at Denver. Colo. Judge Robert I.
Lewis has overruled the demurrer Of
Fred Light, q wealthy stockman Of Pit
kin county. Colorado, which contended
that the grazing regulations in force on
the national forests were unconstitu-
tionaL
The whole case revolved around the
contention raised by some Colorado
stockmen that the government is no
more than a private land owner in the
matter Of state fence laws Many states
have fence laws which make It impos-
sible for a private person to collect
fees or damages from owners Of stock
which stray upon his land unless it is
fenced. The national forests are not
fenced and on this the stockmen based
their refusal TO pay grazing fees
A friendly suit TO test the regulations
Of the secretary Of agriculture prohib-
iting the drifting OF stock upon the
forest was brought At the public lands
convention in Denver last June the
forest officers and representatives OF
the Colorado cattle and horse growers
association, Of which Light is q mem
Der, agreed 10 a friendly suit. The case
is practically the same as the famous
shannon case in Montana IN which the
grazing regulations were also upheld
The decision Of Judge Hunt in this
Montana case was affirmed by the
United States circuit court OF appeals
at the ninth circuit sitting at san
Francisco February g. this year. That
decision stated without qualification
that the grazing regulations are rea-
sonable and valid and that the state
land laws do not apply to the national
forests and that therefore the drifting
Of stock upon the forests in violation
OF the regulations IS trespassing. not
1vfthstanding the state law
The Light decision simply affirmed
the same principle IN another jurisdic-
ton. The attorneys for Mr. Light. un-
der the agreements made before the
trial. are bound not to dispute the
facts. but viii probably appeal the
legal question for decision by the cir
cult court Of appeals at St Louis.

have seen it. Mr.. Clarkson will be-
come a benedict. SO it is said, May 20.
Latimer has some deep, dark, rich
sketches of the California redwoods on
exhibition at CourvoiSier's in Sutter
street. One, "On the Road to Mill
Creek. Healdsburg," is study in beau
tifully intermingling tones of brown
and greens, with the reds of stripped
tree trunks cleaning through the un-
dergrowth and full of warm coloring,
with deep shawods and interplay of
light through the branches. Other
studies were made at Pacific Grove,
and the one of the pines is full of
power, strength and majesty. All Lat
liners pictures have an atmosphere OF
peace and repose. They are far from
the turbulent world. They breathe an
air of solitude. calm and brooding peace.
If one cannot get out into the country
this summer it would perhaps be we'll
to view a few Of Latimer's pictures.
The spirit of the woods is in them; the
dryads are murmuring their song.
c. D. Robinson. a name familiar to
many painters Of some years ago, has
an original and wonderfully daring
canvas on exhibition at one of the local
galleries. 1t is seascape, but the
waves are painted edgeways. The pic

one receives when standing on the
shore of the ocean and watching the
waves come curling In. One can see
no higher than the tops of the break

LUMBER EXPORTS
BRING BIG RETURNS
Amount Is Much Decreased,
While Value Shows
Great Rise
Slaves Of White Oak Are Among
Large Items, as Is the
Yellow Pine

WASHINGTON. Nay 1s.-Uncle Sam s
exports Of forest products have shown
greater values during the last FIVE or
six years. although the amount Of such
exports has not shown corresponding
increase. For instance, the quantity
of sawed timber exported has increased
less than L per cent in the last .our
years, while the price has increased so
per cent Again, the amount OF rosin
exported has increased but little, while
The price mas more than doubled
From 1903 to 1906 the value Of slaves
showed very little increase, but in the
year 1907 there was a decrease in the
number exported Of about 10 per cent
together with an increase in the price
OF about 20 per cent. This last would
seem to indicate q recognition Of tie
fact that the supply OF the highest
grades Of white oak is rapidly dlmin-
ishing.
SLAVES OF HICH GRADE
The slaves exported are almost ex-
clusively Of the highest grades OF white
oak and form about NTH Of the an

ranks next. with nearly 10 per cent Of
the total value Of these exports. Spirits
OF turpentine follows with about 10 per
cent. Four-faths Of both rosin and
turpentine go TO Europe.
The number Of shingles exported has
decreased fairly regularly since 1903.
Ia 1907 there were shipped less tn 4
half the number that were expo ted
four years before. More than so pei
cent Of these shingles go TO MeXi O.
while less than 10 per cent were
shipped to ports outside Of No th
America. This shows how few slin-
giles are in demand abroad. The total
exports Of shingles represent less than
one-ffth Of ! per cent Of the prOduc-
tion Of this class Of material in the
United States.
YELLOW PINE LEADS LIST
The amount OF wood exported in the
form Of hewn or sawed timber and
lumber was about per cent of The to-
tai lumber cut IN the United States
in 1907. More yellow pine is expo ted
that any other kind Of timber The
order is yellow pine, Douglas fir and
redwood. Although there are no fig
Ures which bear directly on the amount
Of yellow pine lumber annually ex-
ported il is estimated that at east
13 per cent OF the yellow pine cut finds
its way 20 other countries. Proc ably

COAST TREE TO AID
COTTON SPINNERS
Dogwood of Cascade Range to
Be Utilized for Mill
Spindles
ShuttIes and Bobbins Also Will
Be Made of Formerly
Despised Tree

WASHINGTON, May 16.-The supply
of dogwood and persimmon shuttIes in
the southern states is nearly exhausted.
This statement will not appear signifi-
can't to the average man when he first
| hears it. But when he is told that
the entire supply of shuttles, bobbins
and spindles used in the cotton and
wooIen mills in all parts of the coun-
| try is furnished by the dogwood and
persimmon growing in the southern
states the seriousness of the situation
! is apparent. The textile mills of the
country represent a capitalization Of
nearly a billion dollars and bobbins,
shuttles and spindles are just as neces-
sary parts of these mills as the throt-
/ tie Is to the locomotive.
| Fortunately the shuttle manufacture
ers have found another source of sup
| ply in the dogwood stands in the far
northwest part of the country Two
| large companies manufacturing spin
! dies shuttles and bobbins have erected
plants in the Cascades in Ore gon,
whose dogwood forests are the greatest
i in the world, the tree often attain
! ing a height of 10 feet and a diameter
of one to two feet. The southern dog
wood is rarely more than six inches
/ in diameter.
VALUE NOW INCREASED
Extensive stands of dogwood are also
| found in California and Washington.
Lumber users in the Pacific northwest
have found dogwood vaIueless. except
for fuel, and its utilization for the man
| ufacture of shuttleS will bring about a.
considerable increase In stumpage val
ues of this tree.
| These companies, at their Oregon
plants, will not only manufacture
/ shuttles, but will utilize every part
4 rf
waste wood and producing such by
products as pyroligneous acid. acetic
acid, protacetate of iron, acetate of
! lime, methylated spirits, solvent naph-
tha wood tar, wood pitch and various
forms OF charcoal. Dogwood is indis-
pensable in the manufacture of shut
ties, bobbins and spindles because it is
the only wood which takes a high pol
/ ish and wears perfectly smooth by
friction under water.
EAST LOOKS ELSEWHERE
The discovery OF the adaptability of
the Pacific dogwood, however, has not
aided the eastern manufacturers, and
| they have been obliged to look for
substitutes nearer home. The most
promising of these are mesuuit and
! tupelo gum. The wood of the mesuuit
| is heavy and very hard. close grained
/ and has compact structure 1t is
/ proDaDte that II would be eminently
adapted for the manufacture of shuttle
/ blocks, as 1t appears to have all the
requisite qualities of weight, hardness
and susceptibility to a high, smooth
polish.
Already it has proven well fitted for
the manufacture of spools and bobbins
for which white birch is now so largely
used. The tupelo gum is medium hard
and heavy. and has compact hbrous
structure. 1t has not yet been utilized
| to much extent in the textile industries,
though 1t is quite probable it will play
| an important part in the future. since
/ it combines with several necessary
| qualities the exacting property of
wearing smooth by friction.
