WIRELESS FOR FOREST FIRES.
Relieved New Invention Might Be
Utilized in the Northwest.

Relieved New Invention Might BE
Utilized I'm the Northwest.
The use of the wireless for giving
notice of trouble in ships at sea has
made a profound impression upon the
world. 1t has given the travelling pub
fish fresh confidence in ocean trans
portation, and logically should in time
reduce the cost of marine insurance.
But it is quite probable that the po-
tential value Of this device for pro-
tective purposes has by no means been
exhausted. 1t has occurred to timber
cruisers in the far northwest that
it could be profitably employed to give
warning of forest fires in that terri
tory, says the Boston Transcript The
lumber region there is a vast one and
lumbermen say that more timber Is
annually consumed by fire than by the
saw. thousand acres of primeval
forest were destroyed by fire in west
ern Washington last year and as much
more or more in various portions of
the inland empire, and even then the
losses were regarded as lighter than
usual.
1t is claimed that but for the de-
struction by fire the timber supply
might easily be conserved so as to
last for centuries. The chief reason
for the spread of fire is that after it's
start is discovered long time must
elapse before aid can be summoned.
1t generally gives its own warning
through the flames that are working
its destruction and then the trouble
is beyond control. The telephone and
the telegraph are not of much service
The poles burn and blazing branches
fall across the wires and render them
of no avail. 1t is therefore proposed
to establish a system of wireless sig
nal boxes and teach the forest rang
ers how to use them. That would not
wholly solve the problem. but would
prove of great assistance in reducing
the danger to an industry that pays
annually s75.OO0.OOO in wages in that
section

about two miles down the river from

The house he lived in in his youthful
days is still standing, by the way, and
is visited by all strangers who come
to the town
"But the cave, That is one of the
curiosities of Missouri Excursions are
run every summer from up and down
the river by steamers, and from the
country towns Of Missouri. Iowa and
Illinois to the grove surrounding the
cave. Last summer a society of young
people held religious services in the
large room of the cave. This Is called
the assembly hall, and is nearly quar-
ter o. a mile from the entrance at the
base of the hill 1t is large enough to
hold hundred persons, and you can

There are innumerable pasageways

in a dozen different routes without
going into any of the others. There
are many queer formations, and they
bear the names given in Tom Sawyer
There is pool of crystal clear, ice

Bird Fights Fisherman.

An Old Aberdeenshire fisherman who
fishes daily in Cruden Bay had an ex-
citing fight with a great northern
diver, a somewhat rare bird. says the
Detroit News-Tribune, which can dive
a great depth for any fish IT may
fancy.
The man was plying his rod about
a mile from the shore when suddenly
ne felt series of unusually powerful
tugs at his line.
He began pulling in the catch and
had hauled it nearly aboard despite a
resistance which dashed the water into
a fury, when the diver suddenly dart
ed from the sea into his face with
force that almost hurried him over
board.
Before he could recover himself the
bird swooped down again and then
whirled round him. In one of its mad
dashes 1t split open the back of his
hand. In another it struck him above
the eye with its beak. infiicting a
wound two inches long and laying the
bone bare
Using one of the boat stretchers as
9 weapon. the fisherman was able with
a lucky blow to break the wing of
his Infatuated assailant and then kill
n He rowed ashore and his wounds
we're stitched by doctor
The diver was found to measure
three feet across the wings and when
the bird was cut open a small hooked
whiting was discovered The bird had
no doubt seen the fish wriggling on
the line and. diving twenty feet. had
swallowed it and been also hooked.
