TIMBER DECAY.

Millions Of feet Of timber and finish
ed lumber rot every year in railroad
ties. bridges. trestles, piles, farm
buildings, fences, poles. and mine
props. The lumber consuming public
Of the United States pays perhaps
thirty to forty million dollars a year to
make good these losses from wood de

These great drains are source OF
more ard more concern each year.
Chemists and engineers who have to
do with the uses Of wood are working
INCREASINGLY on the problem. The U.

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 artifcially preserved by forcing into
It's cells and pores certain substances
which prevent the growth Of fungi.
As long as this substance Is present

threads and spores of

reserved. This often means doubling

whom am indebted not only for "The

Street" "Peter Pam and "What Every

1t was chance that led Mr.. Barrie to
dramatic "The Little Minister" The
popularity of the Barrie novel led my
manager to seek to have it for the stage,
but not especially for me- As the pro-
fessional expression is, che didn't see me
in it" He met the authors agent in
London and made an arrangement with
him for Mr.. Barrie to dramatic the
novel About six or seven months later,
however, he received letter from Lon
don saying that the novelist had made
various starts at dramatizing the book,
had abandoned them all, and finally had
reached the conclusion, to quote his own
words, that it was impossible to find
play in The Little Minister There
the matter practically rested
Some time later Mr.. Barrie himself
came to this country, and having had ne
gotiations with Mr.. Frohman, although
through an agent, he called upon him at
the Empire Theatre. Mr.. Froh1nan was
out, so, as performance was going on,
Mr.. Barrie was shown to an orchestra
chair. Mr.. Drew was playing Rose
