many summer resorters each year.
Can one imagine a more beautiful
spot for the location of d camp? Its
beauty can almost be felt when, at

a HOSPITAL ON WHEELS.
Intended Primarily for the Benefit OF
Injured Coal Miners.

A hospital car fully equipped and
in charge Of doctor and his assist
ant has been built for the Lackawan-
ma Coal Company.
The hospital car OF the LackaWan-
ma is the only one in the anthracite
regions, but it Is not likely to remain
long an exception, as the other rail-
road companies who own mines will
probably follow suit A hospital
car for the coal mines is a necessity,
says the Engineering and Mining
Journal. Many of the mines are
long distances from a hospital, while
they are all situated on, or near, rail
way tracks, where a hospital car can
be conveyed without delay or incon-
ventence.
Under the new conditions the pa
ttent can be treated in the hospital
car, regardless of the nature of the
accident. Should it be necessary as
it often is, that amputation should
be performed, the car carries all the
equipment that its surgeon may need
in such an emergency.
This Is the first time the car has
been used since it left the builders
hands, some few months ago 1t has
not, however, been idle during all
that time. It has gone the rounds
of the Lackawanna mines. visiting
each collieTy, where DR.. Lake has
given personal instructions to many
miners and mine attendants on first
aid to the injured. Miners are in

important that some one about the
mines should be able to give first aid
to some poor fellow badly smash

lance doctor arrives upon the scene.

Reed Laths In Germany.

Consul H. w. Harris of Nurem-
burg, writes that the use of small
reeds as a substitute for plastering
laths is common in Germany. The
reeds are chiefly imported from Hun
gary by Danube boats, and vary in
length from / to y yards or even
more, and from g inch to l Il
inches in diameter
BY machinery these reeds are fast
ened together by wires to form a
mat as wide as the reeds are long,
and this is cut and fastened to walls
in place of laths. In some cases
builders require the mating to be
put on double, the aim being to have
the reeds in the upper mat fall at
the interstices in the lower mat.

NOVEL TIN CAN CLUBS.
Their Mission Is to Supply the De-
mand for New Forests.

B H. Green OF Monterey, Cal has
sent out a circular giving informa-
tion regarding the Tin Can clubs
through whose benehcent activities
he expects to see the country sup
piled with needed forests.
The attempts to cultivate tree
claims in the Dakotaes many years
ago were rather discOurag ging, says
the National Magazine. but Mr..
Green insists that he has been sue
cessful in planting tree seeds, nuts
and cuttings in refuse tin cans, and
can now show an oak tree twenty
feet high only eight years old and
also a redwood tree grown from seed,
which is now fully thirty feet high
and only twelve years of age.
Mr. Green insists that a tomato
can with a fair sized hole punched
in the bottom and filled with good
earth is Just the thing needed TO
start a tree in and that If the earth
is never allowed TO become dry the
growth Of the tree will be amazing.
Later the little trees are transplant
ed without removing from the cans,
for the rust eats away the can suf-
ficiently to allow the roots to free
themselves as they need more room.

il cannot be doubted that its opera

in rendering the area in which

Places which have long been known
TO be the recognized breeding
haunts of mosquitoes have become
quite harmless after the introduction
of these fish. 1t is believed that a
far more effectual method of eradi-
eating the mosquito is to be found
in inducing them to lay their eggs in

have been previously introduced,
than to rely solely on kerosene or
petroleum, although the last-named
would seem to be peculiarly suitable
for dealing with the stagnant water
which collects in the cutters of large
