Measuring Lumber,

The diagrom and calculation by
which you show that log six inches
in diameter and ten feet long would
yield 13 1-3 feet of board measure are
quite correct. By applying the Doyle
rule the result is 21a feet board meas
ure as stated in a previous issue. Sat.
isfactory log rules are difficult to con-
struct, and the Doyle rule, which IL
most widely used in Canada is espe-
cially at fault in the measuring of
small logs as the above figures show.
The Scribner rule is more nearly &C.
curate for small logs. For a log six
inches in diameter and IL feet long,
the Doyle rule accords 10 feet board
measure and the Scribner rule IA
feet, while the actual amount that may
be sawed out is 16 feet. In the meas
urement Of logs 20 to 30 inches in
diameter the results from the applica-
ton Of the two rules do not differ
materially Logs more than 80 inches
in diameter will show a higher yield
by the Doyle ttsn by the Scribner

Snail Famine Alarming,

France is threatened with snail
famine. To the average American
such a famine would not mean much,
but in France 1t means that during the
autumn and coming winter thousands
of humble families will be deprived Of
their most toothsome dishes, which in
the ordinary way they would partake
of at least once or twice a week. The
tropical summer has dried up all the
vegetation, and as consequence the
snails have found nothing to eat, and
they, too, have dried up in their shells
and died. Outside France few people
realize the magnitude of the snail
producing business. In the wine dis.
tricts they are tended and grown with
as much care as oysters, and daily
supplies are forwarded to the central
markets In Paris, for the menu OF any
ordinary restaurant is incompetent
without snails.

The Peacemaker.

much. It wasn't that kind of q
crowd. And then when the melee was
at it's thickest middle-aged woman
hurriedly crossed the street. pushed
them apart, gave each Of them a cuff.
Ing, spoke her mind to the audience
which suddenly stopped grinning-
and went her way. In thirty seconds
the crowd was scattered and gone. It
was only little episode, but there
was big lesson in this neat and ef-
flcient proof Of the power of a deter

Chased Murderer Across Abs.

An exciting chase after murderer
across a spur Of the Mont Blanc range,
took place recently, and the fugitive
was finally arrested at a height Of
1900 feet. Three young Italian work
men were repairing the Alpine hut at
Rosairey, when two of them named
Dielcimino and Guelpa, quarreled. The
former drew knife and stabbed his
companion, who died almost immedi-
ately. Delcimino then fed. But two
Alpinists had witnessed the murder,
and abandoning their excursion they
hastened down to inform the police,
and then, accompanied by gendarmes,
they set off in pursuit. The fugitive
proved an expert climber. Moreover,
he left the ordinary paths and risked
his life among precipices in order to
gain on his pursuers. But finally he
showed signs Of exhaustion and sank
down on rock to rest. The gend-
larmes, suddenly coming into sight,
covered him with their revolvers, and
he surrendered.

Democracy In France.

An interesting story of the practice

Nantes and Versailles, France. The

A TERRIBLE DROUGHT.

Ii reports coming direct from the
country west of the Missouri river can
be believed there are sections Of the
territory mentioned which are now
experiencing the worst and most dis
astrous drought In a period OF thirty
or forty years. 1t has been aggravated
greatly owing to the fnct that the
drought of the present season follows
on the heels OF the unusually protract-
ed dry spell of last year. In many
localities the soil was so dry the past
spring that the seed sown has not yet
terminated In other sections where
the seed terminated and grew and
gave promise of abundant yield har-
vest hopes have been blasted by week
after week OF whitening, clustering.
burning heat. with no refreshing rain
or cool interval to stay the disaster,
which In Oklahoma and portions of
Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota
seems to be about as complete as could
be. Thousands Of unfortunate home
steaders in the drought stricken belt,
with reserve depleted as n result OF
last years drought. will have to have
aid where they are, starve or leave
their claims and throw themselves on
the mercy and support of relatives and
friends. In many states farther east
the drought has been severe, but has
been relieved at intervals by rain,

has been we'll nigh indescribable.

the soil were compelled to turn to the
raising of other crops-corn. milo
