RESCUE CAGE FOR MINES.
Designed For Use When Regular
Equipment Has Been Damaged.

Designed For Use When Regular
Equipment Has Been Damaged.
A hosting cage, designed for use pri-
mariiy IN mine rescue work, has been
invented by George S. Rice, chief min
ing engineer of the United States bu-
reau of mines. The cage is the result
Of difficulties encountered by the bu-
reaus rescuers In mine disasters
where the regular hosting equipment
has been 80 damaged or disarranged
that 1t could not be used.
The new cage, which Mr.. Rice has
developed, is collapsible, and it is the
opinion of officials of the bureau of
mines that it will greatly facilitate
mine rescue work. One cage already
has been installed on one of the bu-
reau's rescue cars, and it was used to
great advantage at the recent Banner
(Ala.) mine disaster. Other cars are
to be similarly enuinned.

CHESTNUT TREES FREE
FROM BLIGHT IN ASIA.
Harvard Arboretum Points Way to
Escape Scouree In This Country.

Salvation from the blight which is
killing off American chestnut trees
may come from Asia, according to the
report of the Arnold arboretum of Har-
ward university. The arboretum au-
thorities say they have found that the
fatal disease which is now ravaging
the American trees will not attack the
species from Japan and China, and the
obvious thing to do would be to import
young chestnut trees from the orient
to take the place of those that are dy
ing here.
Several improved forms of the Japa-
nese chestnut-which gives an especial.
ly large and desirable nut-have long
been cultivated in the United States
But it does not grow well in New Eng
land and the east, the climate of the
middle states seeming better to agree
with it. China provides the most IA
vorable tree for the eastern states.
"Unless the ravageS Of the disease
can be checked" says the report, "it
is to China that We must turn for
tree to replace the native chestnut in
New England. Fortunately the COM
mon chestnut of northern and central
China is a tree of good promise here.
Raised in the arboretum from nuts
found in Peking by Professor Sargent
in 1903, the plants have grown without
any check or injury and are now form
ing tall, straight stems and narrow
heads. They flowered and produced
few fruits last year, and they are now

in Interference and Offensive Work.
In preparation for the Iowa City
game at Iowa City next Saturday hard
practice work was INDUCED in by the
team Tuesday evening for the first
time since Fridays game. Work Mon
DAY was light, consisting of long
walk in the country and passing the
bali Tuesdays work was carried out
on the school grounds and was devoted
largely to perfecting an interference.
In this department. the team has been
lamentably weak, but the work Tues
day is said to have been very salts
factory.
A program of hard work will prob
ably be followed out this week to shape
the team for Saturdays game which
is expected to be one of the toughest
struggles of the season.
Following the Iowa City trip the
team will be at home for the last three
games OF the season, with Waterloo,
Eagle Grove, and Cedar Rapids, the
latter team coming here for the
Thanksgiving game.
1t is TO be hoped that the team can
come thru the Iowa City game without
serious mishap and that the efforts of
the coaches can then be directed
toward the three home games with the
nope that the team can be so developed
as TO capture the last three games. or
If not, to make the best showing pos
sible. 1t is believed that the team can
he rounded into form to win the Wa
terloo and Eagle Grove games. but to
do so material Improvement must be
shown. The Cedar Rapids game is ex-
pected to be much more severe test
out if the team regains confidence with
a victory or two, it may do the IN
expected and square accounts with
Cedar Rapids on turkey day.
