Lying To find Use, For AII.nthu.

Excelsior can not be made from
any or all woods According to
the popular notion it lie product
of wood waste, but this is not
usually the case. For example
the forest service, which has
been experimenting to discover
uses for ailanthus, sometimes
known as Paradise Tree and Tree
of Heaven, finds that it probably
will not make good excelsior.
There are great quantities of
ailanthus in the East aud espec-
tally in the Ohio and Mississippi
Valleys. where it has been nat
urallEed from specimens intro
duced from China until it lie now
more abundant than some Of the
native species.
Its wood has been used in small
quantities for boxes and crates,
but no other use has been report
ed. The Indiana State board of
forestry and the forest service
co.operated in securing a small
consignment for an excelsior
factory, where it was found that
ailanthus does not work up into
good excelsior because the pro-
duct was not sprlDgy and the
strands tended to break and
crumble under pressure. This
may have been due in some m ca
sure to the fact that the wood
has been kiln dried, and further
experiments will be undertaken
to see whether air-drled material
after a six-months seasoning will
be more satisfactory.

Rooster Protects Child From Snake

Seubenville, Ohio, Aug. 10
When Pete, big "shuffler"
game cock,r ran to greet his 3 year
old playmate, Harry Finley,
here, he was confronted by a
big copperhead snake, which
had drawn his head preparatory
to stricking the child in the face
with his fangs
Pete never hesitated. Like a
flash he was at the reptile. In
the fight that followed, the game
cock drove his spur through the
copperhead's brain, and, strange
enough, came out of the conflict
unscathed.
