TIMBER DECAY COSTS
MILLIONS.

Millions of feet of timber and finish
ed lumber rot every year in railroad
ties, bridges, trestels, piles, farm
buildings, fences, poles and mine props.
The lumber consuming public OF the
United States pays perhaps thirty to
forty million dollars year TO make
good the losses from wood decay.
These great drains are source OF
more and more concern each year.
Chemists and engineers who have to
do with the uses of wood are working
increasingly on the problem. The U.
9. Forest Service has men who devote
their whole time to it. The Importance
of the problem cannot be overestimat-
ed. Millions of dollars are annually
saved py preventative treatment OF
timbers, but much yet remains to be
learned.
Wood decay is caused by fungus, q
vegetable growth sometimes so small
that it can be seen only with q micro
scope. It's roots and branches, like
minute hairs, force their way into the
wood tissues and absorb or eat away
the solid parts. The collapse which
results is called decay. Timber is ar
tificially preserved by forcing into it's
cells and pores certain substances
which prevent the growth of fungi. AS
long as this substance is present in
sufficient quantity, the germs of decay
the threads and spores of fungus-can-
not enter. and the wood is preserved :.
This often means doubling and some
times. trebling the life of the timber.
The United States government con-
siders the investigations Of the preser-
vative treatment of timber of snch inn
portance that the business of one office
of the United States Forest Service,
that of Wood Preservation, with new
headquarters at Madison, Wis, is
given over entirely to the work of ex-
periments in cooperation with rail
road companies and other corporations
and individuals in prolonging the life
of railroad ties, mine props, bridge
timbers, fence posts and transmission
poles.
The lengthening of the life Of timber
means the saving of thousands of dol
lars annually through doing away
with the heavy expense of labor and
cost of materials for renewals.

ROW THUGS
HOLD Up COUPLE
IN LIGHT GLARE
Man Beaten Into Unconscious
ness, but Wife Makes
Her Escape.

NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-,Tn full glare
of an electric light and with many men
at work all along the street, Mr.. and
Mrs. Frederick Smith, of 107 Washing
ton street, Brooklyn, were held up and
robbed early today at Park row and
North William street by four thugs.
Mrs. Smith got out of the robbers
grasp, but her husband was beaten into
Inconsistencies and his watch and
chain and money taken.
Two men were arrested by q police
man summoned by the woman, while a
third prisoner, believed to have been
one of the gang, vas later picked up by
a. detective and brought to police head
quarters, after q terrific battle. The
first two men arrested were positively
identified by the husband and wife as
members of the hoid-up band.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith. with some
friends. had been to the theatre and
had then gone to Chinatown for sup
per and to see the sights. All the rest
Of the party lived in Manhattan and
when they started for home took the
elevated, while the couple from Brook
lyn walked through Chatham square
and down Park row.
AS they turned into the street leading
to the Brooklyn Bridge, Mrs. Smith saw
four rough-looking men standing on the
corner. and as they passed them saw
one of them turn and speak to the 9TH
ers. AS the two went down the street
she saw that the -four had started after
them and told her husband.
AS Park row is thronged at all hours,
Smith did not think anything of it and
told his wife she was foolish to think
the men were robbers. The four KEPT
close behind them, however, and as
North William street was. neared they
quickened heir pace.
Just at the junction of the street
the four reached the couple, and while
one of them sprang forward and seized
Mrs. Smith the remaining three pin
Toned her husbands arms and started
to peat him. Mrs. Smith tore herseli
from the grasp of the man holding her,
and ran screaming up the street toward
the Brooklyn bridge.
At the north roadway she vas me-
by Policeman KaInmershak, of the Gal
street station, and upon learning of tn,
holdup he started down the street a.
top soeed. with Mrs. Smith running be.
/ side him. Half way down the blocl
thoy met Smith, who had recovered
| consciousness from the beating he haC
( received. He said that the robbers hat
gone toward Duane street. While h
was talking he suddenly shouted tha
two of the. band were across the street
THE men seeing the policeman an
Smith start toward them ran up Parl
row and into Duane street. They wer
captured at Chambers and Duan'
streets and turned over to another pc
