vegetable line. discovered what looked
like a promising substitute for linseed
oil in China. 1t was oil pressed from the
nut of tree 1t was known as wood
oil,' tree oif' or tong OIL" 1t was
used for paint oil and had all the good
qualities of linseed oil and some others
1t forms a good dryer with paint and
makes the paint particularly enduring. 1t
is declared that the fences to some
Chinese back yards painted with this oil
as a basis have stood unrepaired since
the Manchu invasion. and 1t is even inti-
mated that some of the houses so painted
have decayed before the paint felt the
touch of time. and that there are fam
lilies still living in tenements built genera
tions ago. and of which there is nothing
left now but the original coat of paint.
However this may be, the seeds OF the
tree were imported by the bureau Of
foreign plant introduction and the tree
has been raised for about four years In
the south. 1t bears a heavy crop OF
nuts about the size Of golf balls. These.
when cracked, have a smell that is a
compromise between a Brazil nut and a
thoroughly fertilized field The Chinese
press the oil from the nut with very
crude sort of press. and even at that the
Weld is large enough to make the oil a
commercial competitor of linseed oil. The
tree in China grows to q good size, and
the yield of nuts and consequently OF
oil increases with the age.

SOME NOVEL FEATURES
IN YEARS GAME LAWS
Prohibition of Noise.Producing
Devices Prominent in

Prohibition Of the use of dogs wearing
bells or other noise-producing devices in
wild fowl shooting in Delaware, of auto
mobiles in duck hunting in North Dakota
and of guinea pigs In hunting rabbits in
Michigan were some of the novel features
Of the years game laws legislation a re-

survey has compiled the game laws for
1911, giving a summary of legislation re-
lating TO seasons, shipment. sale. limits
and licenses of every state and of Canada.
THE game legislation of 1911" says the
report while it exceeded in volume that
OF any previous year. was directed more to
changes in the warden service, control of
the license funds and curtailment of the
bag limits than to modifying seasons"
Notable Notifications Made.
Notable notifications were made in the
enforcement provisions in several states.
and measures looking 10 the increase of
game by propagation or purchase were
adopted in other states.
With the rapidly growing complexity Of
regulations-federal. state and local-in
fifty states and territories. and the con-
stantly increasing number OF persons VINO
hunt, the demand for information con-
cernng the game laws is spreading. The
problem of how to keep the public in
formed OF the numerous yearly changes
taxes the ingenuity of officials. and can
be solved only by the fullest cooperation
on the part of the press, private associa-
tions and individuals. says the report.
There was no new game legislation in
the District.
