IMPORT NOXIOUS WEED SEED
United States Consul in England
Warns Of Danger In the Bring
Ing in Of Wool and
Lumber.

United States Consul Augustus E.
Ingram of Bradford, England, sends a
timely warning to the wool trade Of
America, in a report concerning the
presence of noxious plant seeds in the
importation of wool and lumber from
Australia, Mexico and the Azores and
even from far north Siberia
He says that burrs similar to those
from Australia have been found in
secured woods, and that it Is believed
that the dust and dirt from combing
establishments have been sold as fer
tilizer, which has been spread on the
land, and the seed has terminated.
A botanical observer has found no
fewer than 100 species Of plants for
eign to British soil near Bradford
Among them were several species Of
burr of Australian origin, which seed
ed and Powered abundantly; the thorn
apple, several species of amaranthus,
the prickly poppy of Mexico, and one
composite unknown to science.
Yorkshire botanists have found exot-
ic plants in the many wooden districts
of West Riding, and Leeds botanist
has discovered some luxurious plants
which are natives of Siberia and Peru,
the explanation being that the seed of
the latter had been brought in impor-
tations of rags.
Another explanation was found in
lumber yards, which have become COW

proved to be of a genus found only
IN the Azores, from which a large
quantity Of rough wood had been

REALLY NAMED FOR STATE
Mississippi River Steamers Originated
Cognomen That Has Now Be-
come Universal.

On the Mississippi river in olden
days the passenger steamboats, were
very ornate affairs, vying with each
other in garish glory. One owner hit
on the idea of naming his steam
boats cabins instead of numbering
them. So he named them in honor of
the states of the union, each having
above the door the gilt title of some
state, the big central cabin being call
ed the Texas" after the largest state
Other boat owners took up the idea,
and thus the word cabin was grad
ually alternated by state" room. For
years the best cabin was still known
as the Texas. Then that sobriquet died
with the ebbing glory of the old river
steamers. But the word s'stateroom"
became incorporated into our lam
guage, and in time even broke into the
dictionary, as does many another
catch phrase. Not one person in thou
sand who occupies a stateroom knows
the term once meant "a room named

A TREE HUT ELEVATOR.

There are possibilities for a great
illustrated and described below. You
probably have already built very small
elevators to run up and down in your
sisters dollhouse, or in a specially
constructed framework; but the fun
of operating these miniature eleva-
tors does not begin to compare with
that to be mad with an elevator that
will run to the height of fifteen or
twenty feet, with a car large enough
to carry objects of good size. Beside
the fun to be had with such an eleva-
tor. It can be put to excellent service
your back yard or in a nearby lot, in
hoisting provisions, bedding, and mis-
cellaneous things to the hut. II you
have not built a tree hut, or do not
wish to, you can build framework
around a tree to support an upper
landing platform for the elevator; or
the framework to support the upper
pulley for the rope cable may be con-
structed outside Of a window or out
side Of the railing of an upper back
porch.
The illustrations show the tree-hut
adaptation of the elevator, because it
is believed that most of you boys
either have built or will be building
tree-huts. and it will probably be of
more practical usefulness there. You
will at once see that it will be handy
