 By Others

 q have the honor to inform you that the commanding general, department of the Columbia, Vancouver Barracks, Washington, and tho commanding gen. eral of the department of the Dal< <otas ut St. Paul have already been directed to place certain organizations from posts in their departments in the field for duty in cooperation with the for est service and with officials of the interior department in extinguishing the forest fires in this connection it Is deemed proper to state that the sug- gested use of troops from May until October of each year for the purpose set forth in the resolution of the Vest ern Pine Manufacturers association is wholly impra cticable."
 In statement issued today Secre- tary W. w. Cooper of the Western Pine Manufa cturers association takes issues with General Wood. He asserts that the work in the woods would be wholly beneficial and better for the men than to be held in comparative idleness at military posts.

The sands of the sea are singularly
useful. They are of primary iinpor-
lance in glassmaking. They have an
important place in warfare. us a bank

The singular drying effect which &C.
ours when stretch of wet sand is
pressed by the foot is due entirely to
an alteration in the piling Of the sand
grains. Normally the grains are close
together. but abnormal pifing Is
brought about by pressure of the foot.

The Air Brake.

To forget the inventions of the hour
Is an impossibility. They are before
one at every turn. and many of them
contain potentialities vast and much
discussed. For that very reason it is
we'll occasionally to contemplate some
invention of the past which works un-
remittingly and inconspicuously for
the welfare of mankind. Consider the
air brake. How many when they take
q journey by rail ever take thought of
the device which stands ready to in
sure safety from possible accidents!
All are so used to sibilant noise below
the cars that they never consider Its
portentousness Yet by this applica
ton of the power of compressed air
tens of thousands of lives have been
preserved and railroad travel has been
made more expeditions. All this is
arrant truism: not a word of 1t but
what has been said scores of times be-
fore. But we like to dwell upon the
air brake as one OF those typical in
ventions which are doing their work
faithfully and humbly while recen,
creations get the glory and applause
