Fire-Killed Timber Good.

Fire-killed timber, the forest service
has discovered, Is some use after all.
This is a thing that has been known In
the west for long time. The disas-
trous forest fires" do completely burn
up timber in many cases, but there are
thousands of acres where the timber is
imply "fire-killed :" that is to say, 1t
Is killed standing by the fire that
sweeps through 1t and finally rots at
the ground and falls in the first wind
storm. Immense areas of this timber
have been utilized in mining and rail
road work and there have been mills
established simply to work up the FIRE
killed logs into boards and boxes.
The seasoning of fre-killed trees
seems to be more perfect than that of
ordinary seasoned lumber, and In the
case Of much Of the pine that would
otherwise have an Objectionable odor
the fire. seasoned logs can be worked
up into cracker boxes and the like,
where the odor in ordinary pine lumber
would make Its use impossible.
Some of the fire-kllled timber has
been used after 1t had been dead
ffty-fve years, though the more COM
mon time is from three to seven years.
The forest service says that the use
of this dead and down timber makes
available many thousands acres OF
burned forest that were formerly &C
counted worthless.

friend.
Thinking that he, DAuburon, had seen
and exhausted everything, he was aston
ished to find these new fields of adven-
ture and occupation which this man had
titled to such perfection that they yield
ed an abundant harvest. Imagining he
knew it all, be stood humbled in the pres
ence of that genius, whose unequaled pen
etraticn of the thoughts and methods and
whose extraordinary knowledge Of the
ways of men and women, astonished while
it enthralled him
With an ardor which he could not have
believed he possessed, he willingly placed
himself and his fortune at the disposal Of
the great master In that most difficult of
professions. DAuburon, as Cassagne be-
fore him, succumbed to the Vaccinations
of pursuit which the ignorant despise,
simply because they do not comprehend
it. D'Auburon became first the pupil,
and finally the assistant Of the great de-
tective. And D'Auburon and "Cliquot"
were one and the same man.
1t was nearly ten o'clock one morning
when D'Auburon jumped out Of bed. He

room the manuscript upon which he had
been engaged still lay. Scattered near 1t
were half dozen volumes, all relating to
the same subject. D'Auburon stepped
| lightly from his bedroom into a small
kitchen at the back of the fiat. He struck
a match, lit his gas stove and put on his
chocolate. Going to his bathroom he
| turned on the cold water. Then he went
out and stood for a moment In his Dress
ing gown and slippers looking out through
the lace curtains into the street. He was
| perceptibly bored. Active service was
what he was longing for. Failing that
for things bad been dull of late, he had
fallen back upon his book.
He was aroused from his reveris by
the sound Of the water boiling over in
the kitchen. Passing quickly through the
other two apartments he busled himself
in the preparation of his chocolate. This
done, he took two rolls from small cup
board, put them on a plate and carried
them into his sitting room, where he de-
| posted them on the table, Then while
his chocolate was cooling, he went to the
bathroom, where he threw aside his dress
ing gown and undergarment, kicked of
his slippers and disported himself for q
minute or two In the water. He was
plunging around, enjoying the Icy con.
tact as only a thoroughly robust mar
does, when a loud knocking at the dool
of the sitting room was heard. He open

The oldest apple orchard in America,
If not In the world, is in the center of
the ancient town of Manzano, eighteen
miles southwest of Estarcia, Torrance
County, N. NJ. Many of the trees are
more than six feet In circumference,
but all are still fruitful and vigorous,
although neglected for generations.
Little Is known of the history of this
orchard, but the oldest inhabitants of
the valley Of the Rio Grande remem-
Der the orchard from childhood, and
claim that the trees have not changed

FINDS PLANT HAS NERVES.

Scientist Discovers Kinship in Sem
Bit1Veness to Animals.
Most persons have heard of the sen
sitive plant" which shrinks from rough
handling and expands under gentle
treatment, but the scientific truth that
all plants are sensitive, that they have
nervous organization like that Of the
lower animals, will be news to many.
This truth was first proclaimed by
Professor ]. C. Bose. Previously phys
iologists had attributed apparent evil
dences Of sensation In plants to a dis
turbance of the equilibrium of the wa
ter in their tissues. Now they know
that plants have really a nervous or
ganlzation and respond in that way to
outside influences.
Professor Bose regards the plants as
machine, complex, capable of delicate
response to external stimulus Inducing
movements and with the power of hold
ing back part Of the energy resulting
from the stimulus shock. The exter-
nal stimulus induces expansion.
The interaction Of this contraction
and expansion Is found to account for
the various phenomena characteristic
of life. Not the least important part of
this conclusion would seem to be that
1t brings into close relationship phe-
nomena between which no connection
could be previously detected. He finds
no exception to the rule that response
Is always by cOncavity of the more ex-
cited side of an organ.
The rhythmic activity of the plant It's
sue is measured by the rate Of forward
propulsion OF water due to contractile
response. The transmission of excita-
ton is detected by various methods Civ.
ing results in entire agreement 1t is
curious to find that the so-called sensi-
tice plants are in some respects less
sensitive than their fellows which were
supposed to be insensitive.
Among the most interesting Of the ex.
periments are those dealing with the
action of drugs upon the mechanical
response Of the plant 1t Is not, of
course, surprise to learn that the i'm
mediate effect Of exposure to the influ.
ence Of vapor OF alcohol is, as a rule
one Of exaltation.
There are, however, individual cases
in which a state of depression Is In.
duced from the moment of exposure.

FRUIT AS FOOD.

wholesome, Palatable, Attractive
Additions to Every Ones Diet.
Generally speaking, fruits are whole
some and palatable foods. yet 1t is not
at all uncommon to find that one or
more sorts cannot be eaten by an lndi-
vldual. Thus many persons find that
strawberries cause distress, and many
others that any acid fruit is a cause
Of digestive disturbance. Such cases
are explained on the ground of some
personal Idiosyncrasy.
In earlier times remarkable virtues
or the opposite were commonly attrib-
uted to fruits, plants, precious stones
and other animate and inanimate OBJ
jects, and 1t seems not improbable that
the medicinal virtues which are often
ascrlbed to various fruits In popular
writings are survivals Of this custom.
No well-lnformed person would to-day
share the belief, once so widespread,
that tomatoes are the cause of cancer,
yet many apparently give credence to
statements that certain fruits are a
satisfactory food for brain workers,
while other must be avoided. At any
In print. In general, 1t may be said
that very few Investigations have been
made which indicate that the different
fruits possess specific medicinal quail
ties. Those which contain an abund-
ance of sugar are naturally excluded
In large measure from the diet of
diabetes, while there are other condi-
lions in which acid fruits are conceded
to be undesirable.
To the juice of acid fruits like the
lime, lemon, orange, pomelo, or grape
fruit" and the kumquat (the small
orange, which is eaten entire, both
skin and pulp hygienic properties are
commonly attributed, and there Is rea-
son to believe that this reputation is
deserved. Such fruit juices stimulate
the appetite and are beneficial In other
ways. The bitter principle in the po-
melo is commonly said to be of value
incidentally, perhaps because it sug-
gests the bitter flavor Of qulnipe, but
SO far az can be learned the real value
OF this bitter quality Is a matter of
opinion rather than of experimental
study.
Such fruits, notably the tropical
pawpGw and the pineapple, contain
very active ferments. The ferment
present In the pawpaw Is separated in
commercial qualities and used as a di.
gester of heterogeneous materials. Per.
haps 1t is quite natural that much
stress should have been laid on the fer.
ment present in the pineapple and that
this fruit should be recommended fol
use at the end of meal, so that It's
ferment may aid the body in digesting
food. 1t should be remembered, how.
ever, that the body in health does not
need artificial aid in performing its
normal functions, and that for digest
i've disturbances 1t would be better tC
seek competent medical advice than tc
depend on the casual use Of pineapple
or other plant ferment, especially wher
1t Is remembered that there is great
doubt as to the efficacy of any fer
ments introduced artificlally into Tx
stomach.
Fortunately, there are so many gcoC
reasons for using fruits that we have
little need to base our use Of them IL

UNCLE SANS BEST DETECTIVE.
william J. Burns is Credited with
that Distinction.

William ]. Burns, who is working
up the evidence against the officials of
San Francisco, is the best detective in
the service of the United States gov

vice Is one of the unwritten classics Of
the service, The rounding up of the

was at the head of the investigation.
The Taylor gang, as it was

THE LIGHT OF THE LowLY.
BeOks the Open Sesame to Success
for the working Glasses,

Books the Open Sesame to Success
for the Working Glasses.
There Is no worker in the world, no
matter what his lot, who cannot fit
himself to occupy better place, and in
many cases cannot fail to win that bet
ter place, If he will only read.
The men that have succeeded are the
men who have read. The men that have
failed are the men who have acted as
IL they thought their experience In the
world was to be unique, and that they
did not need their feet to be lighted
by lamps that had burned for others.
When Andrew Carnegie chose libraries
as the means of the distribution OF
much of his wealth, he struck a re-
sponsive chord In all of those intelli-
gent workers who really realize what
weapons against adversely and ill-luck
may be drawn from rooms In which
books are kept and read. The museums
and libraries Of the world contain books
for which vast sums have been paid.
yet the contents of all of these books
are available to every worker. He does
not have to pay thousands Of dollars
for the rare bindings, small matter to
him whether his Shakespeare is of the
rare first edition with portrait. The
printed words make up the book, and
these printed words are studied and
gone over many times by the wise
NOV 10 0hnad
But the worker that really gets ahead
is the man who does for himself in
contradistlnction to the man who has
something done for him. The man who
will go farthest is the man who goes
to the book rather than the man tc
whom the book goes. Abraham Lin
coins famous reading of them by the
light Of the fire has done worlds OF
good In stirring up a desire for learn
ing in men who might not have had Il
unless they had been brought to realize
the struggles which some men have
made for 1t. That which everybody car
have nobody wants. 1t Is that which
we have not that we desire. 1t is that
to get which we have to struggle that
we desire most. Now that books are
free almost, and that every worker car
walk into the fields of the best lltera
ture, there to pick and choose that
which shall be of most help and as
sistance to him, there is no excuse lr
tho world to be found for the worker
who does not read. He Is Of malice
aforethought cutting himself off from
an advantage in the race ahead. He Is
neglecting an opportunity to advance
not only himself but his family.
It is better to read anything thar
to read nothing. The essential thing il
to form the habit of reading. Once Il
becomes a pleasure to read 1t becomes
pleasure to learn, and 1t is when we
learn with Joy and work with joy thai
we do the best work of which we arr
capable and are of assistance to tht
rest Of mankind. Only the man who
prefers idleness to helpfulness and alb
sence of labor to absence of the fruit!
Of labor will neglect, the wonderful
helps and comforts that are to be found
in books. They are the workers bes
friends, and the quicker every worker
sees this the better Off he will be.

only to have some sunlight, but to have
as much of 1t as possible. 1t Is, OF
course, not feasible to admit the direct
rays of the sun to every room Of a
house; the typical plan Of all houses
is square or rectangular, and at least
one side of the house Is entirely beyond
the reach of the sun.
The other three sides, however, can
receive more or less direct sunlight
and the problem of the plan is thus re-
duced to arranging the various rooms
so that the amount of sunlight is adj
justed to their uses, and it must be

In dwellings Of average size the en-
trance front will also be the front on
which any important room opens, but
in large country houses the old dis
tinction of front and back to a house
has disappeared and instead we have
