ARTIFICIAL pumlce STONE.
answers Many Purposes Made by
MIXING Sand and Clay.

Consul General Guenther of Frank
fort reports a German invention by
which artificial pumice stone is pro-
duced by a mixture of sand and clay.
He writes "Pumice stone, aside from
its use as a cleaning agent, belongs
TO the most important polishing sub
stances. While emery is used for
polishing tools. polishing paper for
stone and glass, oxide of iron for
fine glassawre and lime for metals,
pumice stone is employed for polish
ing softer articles. Pumice-stone as
found in nature is, according to its
composition, nothing but lava which
has received its foam-like porosity
through the fact that the volcanic
stone substance was cooled very rap
idly under strong development of gas
es. Natural pumice stone. which, for
industrial purposes, comes almost ex-
clusively from the island of lipari is
of little flrmness, and Tor some reas-
on experiments have been made for
some time to find an artificial substi-
tute of greater durability. This seems
now TO have been accomplished
through a German invention, under
which artificial pumice stone is made
by mixing sand and clay This arti-
fetal pumice stone Is made in five diff
ferent kinds The first is either hard
or soft, with q coarse grain, and used
for leather, waterproof garments and
for the felt and wooden industry. The
second can also be supplied hard or
soft. IL has medium grain and Is
mainly used for stucco and sculptural
work, as also for rubbing wood before
painting. The third is soft. of fine
grain and is recommended for polish
ing wood and tin. The fourth is of me-
dium hardness and fine grain and
gives to wood the right polish before
being finished with oil. The firth is
hard and of fine grain and used for
polishing stone, especially lithograph-
ic stone. The manner of using Is
the same as for natural pumise stone.
For wool 1t is first used dry, afterward
mixed with oil"

TO IMPROVE FOREST RANGES.
Establishment of Stations For Reseed
 ing Experiments Proposed.

iHS TFcpCSGu. | The United States government has
 planned a series of scientific reseeding
 experiments on several of the national
 forest ranges next spring and summer
 to determine under what conditions
 and in what manner those portions of
 the range which have been seriously
 damaged by overgrazing may be re.
 stored to their former productiveness,
 says bulletin from the forest service.
 A great deal of the range land in the
 west is overgrazed and does not carry .as much stock as formerly. The meth cd of handling stock, particularly sheep, is perhaps more responsible for this condition than any other cause,
 but all causes of deterioration and all means for improving the forage crop need to be studied that the range may be brought into the best condition to meet the imperative demand of the live stock industry.
 The plan is to establish experimental stations in several parts of the coun- try. Probably not more than six will be tried at first, but they will be so To- cated as to secure typical conditions. The experiments will be begun on small scale on five or six acre tracts. Both native and wild grasses will be tried, but 1t is believed that the plan of encouraging native grasses will meet with greater success than the in. troduction of cultivated species, at least In the Rocky mountain region. In the coast ranges, with their greater rainfall, cultivated grasses are more likely to play an important part in range development
 The ranges of the northwest have not been so seriously damaged by over grazing as those of the southwest, per haps because of superior moisture con dltions of the northern part of the country. It is a fact, however. that none of the ranges support the stock which they did formerly, and reseed- ing experiments will therefore be un- dertaken in this section of the country also.
 The method of handling stock is also 10 be considered. Every stockman knows that stock do not waste as much feed when unrestricted in their move ments as when close herded. An ex- perimental pasture was inclosed last summer in the Imnaha national forest In Oregon. which will be a model for others next season. In this pasture sheep were turned loose without a herier to shift for themselves. It is too soon to draw positive conclusions from this experiment. but the sheep aid well. and there was a decided less eling in the loss of forage through trampling. IL looks as though a given lrea Of ground can be made 10 carry a very much larger number of animals when they are allowed to graze free than when close herded. This fact. If established. will be of decided impor- lance to stOckmen.

LESSONS IN LIFE SAVING.
Columbia University Adds Course In
 First Aid of Drowning.

Coiumbia university Adds Course Tn
 First Aid of Drowning.
 Practical instruction in life saving has been added to the curriculum of Columbia university, md classes which began recently will be held ev- cry afternoon in the pool in the uni versity gymnasium. The new course Is required for all candidates for de- grees and must be completed before the senior year. George Holm is the instructor in charge of the work. MT. Holm proposes to teach the men deep diving, making them dive to the bot tom of the pool and bring up articles from depth of ten feet. He also in- tends to have one of the students feign drowning in the center pool and have him rescued by another member of the class.
 MT. Holm said that the course was determined upon last summer, when several of the gymnasium instructors were nearly drowned in Lake Cayuga by the overturning of their canoe. Fortunately both men could swim, but the accident happened about a mile from the shore, and it was only with the greatest difficulty that they reach ed the shore, where they fell exhaust ed. They were discovered by other members of the party, but they un- derstood very little about resuscita- ton and had to send for a doctor. we hope to prevent such things from among the students,' said MT. Holm, land for that reason we are teaching life saving, and later on in the spring we will have instruction in resuscitation,"
