SCOPE IS NECESSARY.

Washington, Oct 29-Millions of
feet of timber and finished lumber
rot every year in railroad ties. bridg-
es. trestles. piles. farm buildings,
fences, poles and mine props. The
lumber consuming public Of the Unit
ed States pays perhaps thirty to forty
million dollars year to make good
the losses from wood decay.
These great drains are a 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.
S. Forest Service has men who de-
vote their whole time to it. The i'm
portance of the problem can not be
overestimated. Millions Of dollars
are annually saved by preservative
treatment Of timbers, but much yet
remains to be learned.
What Cause Is.
Wood decay is caused by fungus. a
vegetable growth sometimes SO small
that it can be seen only with the mi
croscope. It's roots or 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
officially preserved by forcing into its
cells and pores certain substances
which prevent the growth Of fungi.
AS long as this substance is present in
sufficient quantity. the germs of de-
cay-the threads and spores of fun
gus-can not enter, and the wood is
preserved. This often means doubling
and sometimes trebling the life of
the timber.
The United States government con-
siders the investigations of the pre-
sentative treatment of timber of such

Der means the saving of thousands of
dollars annually through doing away
with the heavy expense Of labor and
cost of material for renewals.

unfortunately will only continue for
three days ,as they are booked for

though they were strangers when they

their way into the hearts of all theater

Their bill for Monday will be that

portrayals of the highest artistic ex-

with the little circus rider, injured
from her fall, pouring over her newly

forms a beautiful picture, which Miss

The Murray Theater.
Without a doubt The Five Juggl-
ing Normans' are headliners on an
exceptionally good bill at the Murray
theater this week. Their act is worth
seeing, having come direct from the
Keith circuit. Corney Brooks and
Rose Carsile in breezy little comedy
entitled "The Limit" go strong every
where and are compelled to respond
to several encores at all houses. Per
caval, Shaw and Sherman have an act
that is unusual. inasmuch as it is
much better than the usual act of the
sort seen on the Sun circuit Their
playlet is entitled "A
Family Mixup." The Four Nighten-

in vaudeville this season. have added
new features to their offering. They

FARMER" TILLMAN.

Senator Benjamin Ryan THlman of
South Carolina left the asparagus beds
in good shape when he departed from
his farm for Washington to see how the
tariff was getting along. 1t isn't gen
orally known that the senator is one Of
the largest TaiseTs of asparagus in the
country
This, however, is the fact "Pitchforb
Ben" may not like the idea of northern
politicians telling him how to run the
south, but he does like the northern
markets for asparagus and ships lot
Of il to the north.
The senator has studied the subject
of asparagus closely and knows al
about it. Moreover, Mrs. Tillman, who
is a woman of superior capacity, her
self gives attention 10 the asparagus
business, and it has become a great
success or the Tiilman plantation.
Senator T1llman has q farm Of 5000
acres in the west central part of South
Carolina, and is one Of the wealthiesi
men i'm that part Of the state.
