FINDING USE FOR AILANTHus
Great Quantities Of Tree in Ohio and

Ice 10 Experimenting.

; Excelsior can be made from any or
all kinds of woods. According to the
popular notion. 1t Is a product of wood
waste, but this is moi usually the case.
But the forest service which has been
experimenting to discover uses for
ailanthus, sometimes known as para
disc tree or tree of heaven, finds that
1t probably will not make good excel
sior. There are great quantities Of
ailanthus in the Ohio and Mississippi
valleys, where it has been naturalized
from specimens introduced from Chi
ma, until it is now more abundant
than some of the native species. Its
wood has been used In small guam
titles for boxes and crates. but no
other use has been reported. The In
diana state board OF forestry and the
forest service co-operated in obtain
ing a small consignment for an ex-
celsior factory, where 1t was found
that ailanthus does not work up into
good excelsior because strands tend
ed to break and crumble under pres
sure. This may have been due In
some measure TO the fact that the
wood had been kiln dried.

WORLDS SUPPLY OF RUBBER

A large part Of the worlds supply OF

injury are due to ignorance upon the
part of the men who fall victims to
them.
Fatal accidents in metal mines are
more numerous, in proportion to the
number of men employed in them,
than in coal mines. According to the
report of the bureau of mines last
year, 695 men were killed in the metal
mines, which represents a death rate
of 4.19 per 1000 men employed in COM
parison with 3.15 per 1000 who were
killed in the coal mines. The greatest
number Of fatalities, in proportion to
the number of men employed, is in the
copper mines, where the death rate
reached 5.33 men per 1000.
This session the members of the
mining congress will give considerable
attention to the subject of taxation of
mining lands in view of the laws
which have recently been passed in
Pennsylvania and Arizona. In the
latter state the mines pay literally
half the taxes of the state. In some
parts of the country, undeveloped coal
land, which may be left idle for a
century, is being taxed at its full
value. This heavy taxation, which
has recently been increased in some
states, may go toward increasing the
cost of living. The tax upon unpro-
ductive land must be paid out of the
coal which is being produced from the
active mines. An increase of ten
cents ton in the coal as it is taken
out of the mine may mean an increase
of 25 cents ton by the time it passes
through the hands of several middle
men before reaching the ultimate GUS
toner.

SAN DIEGO WOULD LESSEN
THE EXPENSE OF THE CITY

San Diego, Oct. 1.-The question
of disposing of 500 acres of Balboa
park, the great 14OO-acre tract which
belongs to the city of San Diego, is
being agitated by number of prom
inent citizens, who believe that it is
advisable to lessen the city's load
of expense and use the money OBJ
tanned in liquidating its debt and es-
tablishing a civic center.
Former Mayor James Wadham
stated today that he had investigated
the legal side of the matter and found
it would be necessary to call a spe-
clal election for the city, and a spe-
cial legislative act as we'll The park
came to the city in connection with
the grant involving the old Spenish
pueblo, being included in the descrip-
tioa OF the lands ceded to the United
States with the remaining portion of
California
This statement disslpates the idea
held by many that the park was the
gift of Father Horton or anyone else.
The park lies in the very center of
the city, bordering on three sides on
the choicest residence portions of the
town, and real estate men place q
conservative estimate OF $5,OOO,O00
on the 500 acres. 1t is proposed to
sell. The upkeep of the entire park
is beyond the ability of even larger
municipality than that of San Diego,
and should this park be sold, some of
the returns could be used for the
further Improvement of the balance.

The American Mining Congress.
(By Frederick j. Haskin.)


The first great mining show ever
held in this country will open in Phil
adelphia on October II, three days
preceding the sixteenth annual COR
vention of the American Mining Con-
gress. This exhibition, prepared az
great expense, is the first effort of the
organization to demonstrate to the
public the methods by which their
metals and fuel are wrested from the
bowels of the earth, frequently at
tremendous hazard of human life and
health. The show will be held in Hor-
ticultural hall, one of the largest
buildings in Philadelphia available for
exhibition purposes. An imitation
coal mine which contains all the equip
ment Of a modern mine, has been
erected in the cellar Of the building
A force of regular miners will be en-
ployed throughout the week in demon
strating the different processes nee
essary in bringing the coal from the
bottom of the mine to the surface of
the earth.
The model mine will show all the
hardships of mining and It's >navoid-
able dangers. The exmDlulon will
contrast antiquated methods now being
discarded with the improved methods
secured by modern science and inven-
ton. The mining of metals will also
be demonstrated by different pro-
cesses. The washing of precious met
ais, the selection of ores, the various
kinds of blasting powders, the tools
and machinery required and every
other available feature connected with
the mining industry will be collected
at this mining show for the educa-
tion of the public.
Because of the great public interest
in the safety precautions now being
taken in all classes of mines, demon
strations of this kind will form an
important part of the exhibition. The
United States bureau of mines will be
represented by one of its mine rescue
cars with the full equipment and a
corps of trained workers to operate
it. In addition to the men of this
corps, several groups of miners from
different sections will demonstrate the
various classes of rescue work in op-

ARREST OCCULT HEALER
Husband at Garden City Claims Wife
Is as Great as Christ.

Garden City, Kan, May 23.-That
his wife is as great a healer as Christ
is the claim made by a man named
Sheea before County Attorney Fred
J. Evans here. The wife, DR.. Maria
Sheea, an occult healer, is under ar
rest charged with practicing medicine
without a license. The woman has
been practicing on numerous patients
in this city for several weeks. The
matter was brought to the attention
of the authorities after she had
brought Probate Judge Johnson, a pa
tient, steadily to the verge of the
grave. Will Johnson allowed the
treatments to continue till he was con-
WINGED they meant death to his father
and then put a stop to them by hav-
ing the woman arrested. DR.. Sheea
then insisted that the probate judges
wife go her bond and so terrified Mrs.
johnson that she tainted in the dis
trict clerks office.
Feeling is so high here there is dan
ger of citizens banding together and
running the Sheeas out of town. The
husband maintains that Wichita at
torneys have been retained in the case
who will prove his assertion that his
wife is as great a healer as Christ.

LABOR SCARCE IN DECATUR.
Won't Take Chances With Delayed
Harvest-Crop Reports Good.

OberIin, Kan, May 23.-Decatur
county promises a bumper wheat crop.
J. ]. Jackson, grain buyer, has just
returned from a trip over the county
and reports the wheat in the finest
possible condition.
At this time as nearly as can be
ascertained from the county clerks
records, and reports from farmers and
others, there are about 1907 acres
of good wheat in the county. More
was SOwn, but there was a slight loss
Farmers have out from 40 to 200
acres. Much care was taken in plant
ing, the ground being well prepared,
and the results are now showing in
the fine stand everywhere.
The wheat this year has a fine color,
usually an even stand, and of uniform
growth. The late spring kept back the
weeds. The ground is we'll soaked,
there being plenty of rain and snow.
Tests made show that the moisture
from the winters J ain and snow ex-
tends down four feet, leaving a reser-
voir of moisture for the crops to draw
from, and making it less liable that
any ordinary dry weather would af-
feet the wheat.
Owing to the general scarcity of
help, the harvest problem is begin
ming to loom up as a possible serious
matter, and steps are being taken to
avoid injury to the wheat at that time
by delayed harvest.
