pINE sd ANp rs usEs.

A striking example Of a seemingly
useless waste product of the forest
which has developed into market
able commodity Of no small import
ance, says late bulletin Of the De-
partment Of Forestry, is what Il
known as pine oil. Tne crude wood
turpentine obtained from the steam
distillation Of certain species Of pine
must be refined Will, considerable
care before it can be sold in compe.
tition with gum spirits, the true tur-
pentine OF commerce. by redistilIa-
ton with steam this crude product Is
usually separated into two substances.
The first which is the larger fraction,
consists almost entirely Of the product
known technically as 'pinenev This
closely resembles gum turpentine ex.
cept for barely perceptible differ
ence in odor. The other fraction Is
a product somewhat thicker and heav-
Ter than turpentine, with yellow col
or and a very pleasant odor. This
is known as "pine oil"
Formerly this byproduct had no
market and was either burned or
sold for almost nothing In order to
get rid Of H. IL was realized, how
ever, that II was extremely poor bust
ness to waste three or more gallons
Of oil for every cord of wood without
knowing certainly whether the oil was
OF value, and 1t was clearly up to the
chemist to find uses for pine oil, and
TO the salesman to create market.
Pine oil Is now sold in tank car
lots TO manufacturers of roofing
paints and varnishes Considerable
quantities are consumed In the manu-.
facture Of insulating materials, metal
polishes, and cheap perfume. II has
been found TO yield very cheaply
"terpene hydrate," drug which at
present il manufactured by some
what costly methods. Pine oil has
also been suggested as an excellent
solvent for varnish gums for the
production Of light-colored varnishess
Further investigation may even lead
to It's use as raw material in the
production OF artificial camphor.
Thus, from worthless product pine
oil has 80 much increased in value
that refined grades may now be sold
for from 40 to 80 cents a gallon. The
very lowest grades sell for about 10
cents gallon.

A. A. u. Head Has Plan for a
Magnificent New Home
for Athletics.

James f. Sullivan, president Of tho
of stadium in New York which win
seat 10000 spectators and surroundings
tcld where all branches of field sports
may be conducted.
Mr. Sullivan has recently been ap-
pointed as a member of the Board OF
Education. and he believes that some
suitable playground should be created
in this city for the benefit OF the schools
boy athletes as we'll as for the many
athletic clubs
AS to the matter OF cost, the promo
ter of the stadium idea says that If the
city can afford to build and maintain
speedway costing 100000 for the use
of a few dozen light harness horsemen,
| II Is not too much to ask similar atten-
ton for the athletes who number thou-
sands. Not that MIR. Sullivan is knock
| ing anybody's game. but he wants the
| field enlarged. lie thinks that there are
enough philosophical men in New
| York to take UP the matter and wants
| a meeting called for the purpose of dis
GUESSING the plans.
| The necessity for field Of this kind
will be more strongly emphasized when
the big garden where athletic meets
have been held is torn down to make
room for business ventures. 1t is also
not remote possibility that the
| olympic games may he held in New
! York within Few years, and there Is
no suitable place for such contests.
There is plenty of ground now to be
! had in the suburbs of New York well
/ adapted for the purpose, or it IS not Inn
possible for the Park Commission to set
aside a part OF such a convenient To-
cation as Van Cortlandt or Prospect
| parks for the purpose.
