Woman Suffrage in Wisconsin.

Wisconsin's legislature has passed a
bill providing for equal suffrage Of the
sexes. save in presidential elections, and
1t is expected that the governor will sign

Dental elections are eliminated does not

watching. If it Is tried, because Of un-
usual conditions existing in Wisconsin.
The states in the west where equal suf-

New York Loan Sharks.
From the New York Times.

Every loan shark in this city who
has been lending money to it's employees
has been summoned to Commissioner of
Accounts Fosdick's office to show his
books and to reveal every detail of his
business with those whose salaries from
the city are mortgaged. 1t is estimated
that over one-third of the policemen and
firemer and a large percentage of munic-
ipal clerks and teachers in the public
schools have had unfortunate dealings
with the advertisers Of loans upon chattel

The Change in the Races.-A bulle-
tin issued by the census bureau on
white and negro population in the
United States says, in reference to the
condition in the southern states. that
the statistics of the white and negro
population of the south, based upon
the returns of the censuses of 1910
and 1900, show first, that in South
Carolina and Mississippi the negroes
exceeded the whites at both censuses,
although the proportion in 1910 is
somewhat smaller than in 1900; and
second, that in West Virginia, Arkan-
sas and Oklahoma the negroes con-
stitute a slightly larger proportion OF
the total population in 1910 than In
1900, principally as the result Of the
migration of the negroes from other
states. 1t is further shown that in
every southern state, with the excep-
ton of West Virginia, Arkansas and
Oklahoma, the whites had a higher
rate of increase than the negroes. In
Maryland. Kentucky and Tennessee
there has been since 1900 an actual
decrease in the number of negroes
and in Delaware and Virginia there
has been only a slight increase in ne
groes, namely 1.6 per cent in each
case These are all border states, and
the facts stated are doubtless due
largely to the migration of negroes
from those states, partly, perhaps, to
the more southerly states, but more
particularly to the states outside of
the south. The full significance of the
changes in the relative number of the
two races in the south cannot be def
nitely stated until more complete sta
tistics are available, particularly those
showing the Interstate migration of
the native born population.-Charlot
Chronicle.

THE DYING PINE
And What the Farmers May Do
About IL.

And What the Farmers May d
About It.
Since the location Of forest insec
field station at Spartanburg on July
5, the agents of the bureau Of ento'
mology, United States department o.
agriculture, detailed there for duty
have been very active in the study
of the character and extent Of the
depredations by the southern pine
beetle in South Carolina, Georgia
Alabama, North Carolina, Mississippi
Texas. Florida, Virginia, Louisiana
Maryland. Arkansas, Missouri ant
Tennessee.
Observations by the agents and in
formation conveyed by correspondents
from all sections of the south show
that in the aggregate a vast amount
of timber has been killed by the
southern pine beetle during the past
two years. The dying and dead trees
occur as scattering individuals or in
clumps, large patches, and in some
places whole forests. All are more
or less conspicuous by their fading
red, black or denuded tops, plainly
indicating the presence of the beetle
or the progress Of it's work.
It has been found that each patch
of dying trees, with their fading and
greenish brown tops, located any
where in the southern states is a
menace to the living pine within q
radius of three or four miles. The
broods of the southern pine beetle
developing in the bark of the trees
of one such center of infestation may
swarm in any direction and settle in
the healthy timber. Thus one or more
additional patches is killed, until
nearly all of the large as we'll as the
small pine over extensive areas is
dead.
When these centers of infestation
are numerous within the area of a
county, or even a larger section OF
territory, they can only be compared
with the starting of so many forest
fires, and, as has been demonstrated,
they may lead to far greater destruc-
tion of merchantable pine than has
ever been recorded as resulting from
fire in the southern states. There
fore, they demand similar prompt and
radical action on the part of the own
ers In order to protect their living
pine.
l. If in clumps or patches of pine
where there Is no plain evidence OF
serious injury by fire, the foliage
fades to plain green and changes to
yellowish and plain brown, 1t indi-
Gates that the trees are dying from
the attack of the southern pine
beetle, and that the bark on such
trees Is infested with the developing
broods Of minute white grubs and
Transforming beetles. Therefore such
trees are a menace to the living trees.
2. II the trees have reddish brown
and partially fallen foliage, or IL all
Of the foliage has fallen, it indicates
that the broods Of beetles have
emerged and that such trees are no
longer a menace to the living ones.
3. If the trees die during the pc
riod between the first of March and
the first Of October, they will be
abandoned by the broods Of beetles
within a few weeks after the foliage
begins to fade.
4. If the trees begin to die during
the period between the first of Octo-
ber and the first of December the
broods Of beetles will remain in the
bark until March or April.

SAWDUST CONCRETE.
Said to Be Especially Adapted for the

Said to Be Especially Adapted for the
Floors of Markets and Saloons.
When sawdust or wood pulp is used
as part Of the aggregate in mixing
the resulting concrete is Of light
weight and low tensile strength, but
has some special properties that COM
mend it for certain indoor uses. On
account Of it's elasticity, combined
with its practically. absorbent
character. it is said to be especially
adapted as a floor veneering for mar
kets, butcher shops, saloons, etc.
1t may be laid without joints, says
Cement World, in a continuous layer
one and. half inches deep, upon pa
per spread over the floor that Is being
treated. In these cases the customary
proportions for mixing are one part
cement, two sand and two and half
sawdust. A greater proportion of
sawdust would make it too absorbent
A novel application of sawdust
concrete has recently been made in the
new public library building in Spring
field, Mass. 1t was employed there
as a base on which to lay the cork
carpet covering the floors. The OBJ
ject was to obtain a layer into which
nails could be driven and which at
the same time would hold the nails.
The company that laid 1t states that
it accomplished both purposes. After
several experiments with different
mixtures, it was found that a 1:2l
mix-three-f -fourths Of a part Of saw
dust-gave the desired result; and
5000 square feet Of this mixture was
laid. The thickness of the layer was
one inch, and after four months of
service indications are that the ma
terial Is a success.
