$500, 100000 IN WASTE RESINOUs
WOOD.

Ihe Bureau of Chemistry of the U.
,. department of Agriculture has COM
pleted study of the possibility Of
utilizing more thoroughly the enor-
nous quantities of waste resinous
wood produced In the lumber indus
try. This annual waste is estimated at
no less than 100000 cords. Accord
ing TO the Bureaus investigations, this
can be manufactured into paper pulp,
turpentine, resin oils, pine oils, wood
alcohol and other products worth
nearly 5000, 100000, or as much low
grade paper and the other products as
we are now manufacturing in the
United States. A cord of wood. which
costs from 50 to 81 delivered at the
works, will yield products worth
$4S.17. The waste consists of wood
left in the forest from numbering.
dead and fallen timber, stumps Of cut
over lands and slabs and edgings from
the mills.
At present the waste resinous woods
are used to- some extent in manufac-
ture. Some plants convert the waste
into paper. Others turn out wood tur-
pentine and pine oils. In many works
rosin oils and rosin spirits are being
made from the resin Of the live trees.
But these first two Industries are just
beginning to develop. The investiga-
ton of the Bureau shows that the
three industries of paper making.
wood distillation and rosin oil produce
ton can best be developed in combi-
nation. Their development will not
only open a profitable field Of indus
try, but should prove big factor in
the conservation of our resources, in
addition. BY the utilization of our
waste and fallen timber, the injury to
the forests by fire and insects will be
materially reduced.
Long-leaf yellow pine, Norway
pine, Douglas fir and other woods rich
in resins are suitable for this manu-
facture

Of Long Island kept roll Of bills in
his desk as a nest egg to draw upon

drawer recently a heap Of green bits
Iof paper met his gaze. At first he
imagined he had been robbed, but
closer investigator revealed the fact
that the notes had been chewed to
pieces by rats to build nests with. They
were presented for redemption at the
United States Sub-Treasury but the
officials were unable to fix their de-
nomination and they were sent to

by passing steam through perforated

build such a plant upon raised plat
form so that the liquid may be drained

Miss keller's voice at first sounds

At the close of her address on Heart
