MIR. PETERS IN DEMAND.

Congressman Peters appears to be the
most talked-of representative in Wash
ington, and already Is in great demand
for speech making tours in States where
Republicans are fighting to regain lost
ground. His speech in Boston in Capt.
Gardeners behalf created great enthusi-
asm. and now that Gardner is the Repub-
lican candidate for Governor of Massa
chusetts, it is more than likely that Mr..
Peters will be invited to stump that State
for Gardner.
The roar of Republican cheers in the
House had hardly died away when John
c. Eversman of Illinois, secretary of the
Republican Congressional committee, in
formed Congressman Peters that ''the
next battle was in the first district of
West Virginia, and that the party lead
ers desired his services there, and it is
likely that West Virginia voters will
have an opportunity to hear the man of
whom Maine Republicans are so proud

FOREST NOTES.

The railroads of the United States use
about 80, 900, 900 wooden ties each year.
Cadillac, Mich, is reported to be the
foremost city in the country for varied
and close utilization of forest products,
More than one-fourth of all the sheep
in the eleven States nearest the Pacific
coast are grazed on the national forests.
The national forests contain water
powers with an aggregate estimated ca
pacity of 100000 horsepower, avail
able for use under permit from the secre-
tary of agriculture.
Much of the piling, wharf material, and
lock gates of the Panama canal are made
OF greenheart, said to be the most durable
wood known for these purposes, which
comes mainly from British Guiana.
The western forestry and conservation
association will hold its annual conference
about December 10Th. This year it will
meet in Vancouver, B. c., and will give
its main consideration to the problem
of forest fire prevention and control.

HARVESTING THE OCEAN.

1t is reasonable to believe that some
day the energy of the tides will be util-
lied, harnessed to do the bidding of man.
The sight of the ocean uselessly expend-
ing its force on the sands and rocks of
our New England coast has started many
a man to puzzling over way of captur-
ing this immense power and putting it
to work. In the past tide mills have
been IN successful operation at various
points along the Maine coast. A year or
so ago an inventor at Bath attracted
considerable attention to himself by his
successful demonstra' ions of a motor
operated by the rise and fall of the tides.
AT present, however, activities along
this line seem to be in other sections of
the Country. A number of wave motors
are being tried out at various points
along the Pacific coast, and some of them
are of Unusual construction. At Venice,
California, one has been installed and it
pumps the sea water to a height OF 40
feet. To generate electricity it is planned
to pump this water into a storage tank
allowing it to run through the turbines.
A wooden frame is built out from the
pier about 20 feet above the water and
this supports the motor, which consists
of a large wooden wheel 10 feet in diam
eter mounted on steel shaft. Two
heavy timbers extend from the wheel to
two feet below the surface of the water,
where they connect with a wooden plane
placed to receive the full force of the
waves. The incoming breakers dash
against the plane, driving it shoreward,
while the receding waves force it vio-
lently out again. This motion oscillate S
the wheel, and the power is transmitted
to four pumps, by means of steel wire
cables. The sea water is pumped to a
height of 40 feet through a three inch
pipe.
Fully a score of different wave motors
are being tried out along the coast. A
motor near San Diego works on a some
what different principle from the one
just described, as it is proposed to gen
crate power without the use of a pump.
At Huntington Beach a company has
recently secured concession on the mu-
nicipal wharf on the promise that it will
install a wave motor and supply free
light to the little town. Hence its devel-
opment is being watched with much in
terest. Portland Evening Express.
Some time ago we printed an interest
ing article on this subject from Mr.
Googins of Searsmont and have since
published articles from other sources
showing that the utilization of tida
power is attracting much attention II
this and foreign countries,
