gal and came close to the people, whose
feeling for him is well known. Last
year, as he was entering the Y. NJ. c..
A. at Calcutta, an attempt was made
on his life. A man came up to him
and snapped revolver twice at his
heart. 1t twice missed fire, and then.
before the assailant could again pull
the trigger, the rajah Of Bundwar,
standing behind Sir Andrew, swung
him around SO that his own back was
between the governor and the assas-
sin. Thus at the risk of his own life
he saved Sir Andrews. Despite his
exemplary course as an administrator
Sir Andrews life was often in danger
because of the bitterness Of many ma
tives toward the British government,
and six times his assassination was
attempted. He was the guest in New
York of ex-Mayor Seth Low, who in
troduced him at meeting in further

India, Sir Andrew said:

A VALUABLE TREE.
Good Qualities Of the locust-9trona
est OF Native Woods.

Good Qualities Of the Locust -strona.
est Of Native Woods.
The locust is one of the most yalua. !.
bic trees growing in the United States.
In common speech we have the black.
yellow and honey locust. The bota
nists recognize the false acacia, OF
Robina pseudacacia. and the R. lis
pida. The wood has a strength as
great as or greater than any Of our ma
tive woods. writes correspondent Of
the Scientific American. Its only rival
IN common use is the k3skory. The
latter, however, Is not nearly az
strong. Hickory has the one advan-
tage OF being much more elastic. The
locust resists crushing in experiment
to the extent Of $500 pounds, and its
tensile strength il put at $4,000 pounds
per square inch. The wood is almost
insensible to decay and lasts under
water like white pine, which is In that
position indestructible. Its great ten
SHE strength and durability caused its
universal use for treenails in wooden
ships. No other wood ever took its
place for this purpose.
The insensibility Of the wood to de-
cay appears to be due to some form Of
pitch or waterproof varnish within
the wood. It seems to the casual OBJ
server that there was some chemical
combination with the cellulose itself,
which rendered It immune from the
action Of water. Even a locust post
seems perfectly Indifferent to decay at
the surface Of the ground.
1t win be interesting to note the fact
that the finest, strongest and most de-
s1rable locust timber In the United
States is said to be found on Long
Island. It is also said that the tree
grows more rapidly there than any
where in the country. From the 50
called annual rings 1t appears to be
one Of our most rapidly growing trees.
Owing to the extreme hardness of the |
timber 1t does not promise to be a fa-
vorite with lumbermen. It is some
what surprising that the locust is not
more frequently recommended for rail-
road plantations.

SIMPLE KETTLE STILL.

Apparatus Designed For the Purpose
Of DistilIine Watsr.
A simple apparatus for distilling wa

should prove quite valuable in districts
where the water is 80 impure that it
must be filtered and boiled before It
can be used. The apparatus is in the
form Of kettle and, In fact, may be
used as kettle when it is not desired
to use It as a still.
The body Of the kettle, which Is in
dicated by the letter A in the engrav-
ing, is provided with a main spout, B,
at one side and a smaller spout, c, at
the opposite side. The interior Of the
kettle is divided into two compart-
ments by means Of a partition, D, and
the spout G communicates with the
upper compartment. The partition D
