that the conservation of the Surface
wealth" of a country is a tremendous
ly important matter, and the govern
ment is making great efforts to profit
by our mistakes In spite Of these ef-
forts, millions OF dollars are being
thrown away each year in western
Canada-millions of dollars which
American capital and American brains
could save.
It may seem a little exaggerated
when I say that hundred fortunes
could be made today in Canadian saw
dust. What Michigan, Wisconsin and
Minnesota were in the numbering
world three or four decades ago, I'm
mense areas of Canada are today.
For hundreds of miles east and west
of the Superior shore the sawmill Is
the life of almost every town settle
ment. Mountains of sawdust lay
everywhere. Sawdust is a nuisance,
is earted away at large expense, is
a white elephant on the lumbermak-
ers' hands. If a man should appear to
any one Of the lumber manufacturers
tomorrow and say Il will contract to
take all of your sawdust for ten
years" the owner would be delighted
to give It to him for hauling 1t away.
There are not only thousands, but
millions Of tons of it. The mills do
not burn it in their furnaces, as many
American manufacturers are now DO
ing, because they have more wood
trimmings than they can use.
How can this sawdust be used? Eas-
lily enough, and profitably enough, too.
A method has now been found where
by sawdust is easily and cheaply
moulded into briquettes as hard as
wood itself, and capable Of producing
a heat as powerful as that of coal.
BY mixing sawdust with glue-water
and soluble glass, and hydraulically
pressing it, a beautiful artificial wood
is made, which in France Is called
bois durci and which possesses a
beauty of appearance found only in
ebony, rosewood and mahogany.
Today the paper question" is one
of national Importance. 1t has been
pointed out hundred times that the
newspaper magazine and popular
novel reader is responsible for the go
ing of our forests at rate which
will leave us pretty nearly treeless a
few years from now. And meanwhile,
because of what we can class as moth
ing less than ignorance, the people OF
this country and Canada are coolly
destroying an enormous paper supply
each year. For straw, after brief proc
ess, is paper. Last year l personally
saw thousands of tons of straw burn
ed by farmers on the Canadian prair-
les. Twenty million tons were burned
between Winnipeg and the coast!
The value Of those stacks, In paper
would be tremendous, and the figure
would be doubled by those which are
burned in our own western states
Scattered evenly over the grain fields
the burned straw would not be total
loss, as it would be of some assist.
ance to the soil; but burned as 1t is,
in huge stacks, or "winrows," it does
more injury than good to the soil.
In the United States there are hun
dreds of ways in which money is
made in the utilization of wastes
most of them thus far being in the
hands of moneyed men, like million
aire manufacturers, packers, steel pro
ducers, and SO on. The poor mans

but the times Of our more valuable

tunes are easier made today than yes
terday"
Mr.. Rockefeller, who has devoted a
long life to successfully grasping
golden mines of opportunity" gave
no specific directions as to just where
a few mines might be found, but he
hit the nail squarely on the head just
the same. The modern fortune-hunt-
er does not carry siX-shooter at his
belt and a diploma for accuracy in its
use notched in the butt Of it. He dis
likes bloodshed, loves good dinners,
goes to theatres and, as frequently as
not owns an automobile. Perhaps he
strikes a mine" in the midst Of a
crowded street or he hits upon 1t
while listening to a Sunday sermon in
church. It was there, while bowed
in prayer, that one Of the most val
liable keys to wireless telegraphy
came to its inventor.
Last year the country saved about
forty million dollars in the utilization
of what, up until few years ago, was
known as waste" and of all the
fields which Mr.. Rockefeller might
name there is probably none which
offers greater opportunities at the
present time to men Of very small as
well as large capital, than this. The
utilization of wastes Is not an entire
" new idea. It has attracted great
deal of attention during the past six
years, especially, and its "wonders"
have been exploited many times-the
wonders, for instance, of coal tar by
products, Of ink made from the rusty
hoops of old barrels, Of silk ties made
Of the limbs of trees, and Of the re-
markable utilization of everything
from hoof to tail in our slaughter
houses. It has been estimated that
a hundred million dollars could be
saved, or made, each year by utiliza-
tion of wastes instead of forty million,
and that such a department would
within a few years be as valuable as
the Department of Agriculture, which
has worked q revolution in the farm
ing methods of the nation. This de-
partment would be Of value not only
to the large manufacturers and pro
ducers. who are the sole waste prod
uct" utilizers of today, but would open
mines Of profit to thousands Of mer-
chants, wholesale men, small dealers
and manufacturers, and would open
up, as well, new fields for eth
er small or large capital. 1t would
show wholesale dealers how the thou
sands of bushels of fruit which spoil
on their hands each season could be
made to pay the wages Of their work
ing forces; how the great dry goods
merchant could add a good percentage
to his profits by utilizing in various
ways. and it would show where new
by.product business could be started
and carried on at a profit in every
city. It is pointed out that practically
the only utilization of waste" busi'
ness with which the mass of people
are acquainted, and in which they
take part, is that of old paper and old
rags!

as a warning to others. The landlord
sued not only for the rent but for
injury TO his feelings and reputation
on account OF these bedfellows, but
the court decided against him, stip-
ulatlng that he pay not only the costs
Of himself but also those Of the ac'
eused tenant. Then to get even the
landlord sued the tenant for cruelty to
animals, maintaining that it isn't HUI
name to spear a bedbug, and that to
stick a pin through him alive is grave
offense. The tenants reply was that
he lanced the bedbugs while the ami
mails were attacking his wife.

There.

Since the establishment of the An
1o-French entente, all things English
are the rage in France, writes Anna
Rowman Dodd in the Century; and 1t
is a fad of the aristocracy to send
their boys to English schools. One
gathers from the conversation given
below that the idea Of "per1dious Al
bion" is not held by the rising genera
tion in France; and the testimony Of
the royal lad concerning the atmo-
spbere of his school constitutes a rec
ommendation than which nothing
could be better.
Very amusing, remember, was the
conversation held between young
Etonian, just returned to the bosom
Of his family, after the expiration Of
his term" at school, and two ladies
en- visite and Monsieur Fable.
The ladies questioned the lad as to
what course Of studies were pursued

The rulers of three nations could
meet by the stones shown in the ac-
companying illustration, says Popular
Mechanics, and hold a conference,
each ruler standing on his own terri
tory. The stone on the left marks the
limit of Germany, and the one on the
right is on neutral ground. The stone
in front of the center is in Holland
and the one at the back Of the center
is In Belgium. A person starting from
the stone marked neutral territory
could visit three nations by taking
only few steps.

life.
Mile Anita is only 26 inches

perhaps, the most perfectly formed
little person in the world.

Stricklett Predicts
Coast Outlaw League

Elmer Stricklett, the former Brooklyn
pitcher. has written to a Brooklyn friend
predicting that an outlaw league will be
flourishing on the Pacific Coast next
year. He intimates that the baseball
people in the far West are dissatisfied
with existing conditions and will with
draw from protection Under the national
commission. Stricklett says there
should be a field for big league players
on the coast in 1912.
The "Old Fox" as he was known to
Brooklyn fans a couple Of years ago,
is a prosperous ranch owner now, but
he pitches Saturday and Sunday games
for the Stockton team. He broke his
shoulder blade last April and did not
Pitch a game until September 4, when
he shut out the Modesto Reds without
a hit, which is some feat after so long
a rest.
Orvie Overall is pitching for the same
club, and recently whitewashed the
San Jose Club with only two hits.
Stricklett declares that Overall will be
back in the big league next season, as
he is as good as ever.
