HOW the NORTHWEST Gets
RID of Its OLD STUMPS

key engine. OF these the burning out
of the roots is the most favored method
and q special machine has been devised
for this purpose.
The use of the burner is particularly
simple. A hole is bored down through
the center of the stump and a small
stick Of powder is employed to split 1t
apart. This splitting, while not entirely
essential, facilitates in allowing the FIRE
started on top of the stump to gain rapid
headway and burn more evenly. A large
metal hood is then placed over the
stump and banked up with a little earth
at the bottom and forms a closed but not
alright chamber. A fire is then started
and pipe connection from a blower made,
after which a constant downblast Is
blown upon the fame, continually fan
ming II. Stumps are consumed in this
manner in from two to four hours.

Almost Human

TELEPHONE apparatus recently pat
ented refers the calling party to an
other telephone number in case
there is mo one home" to answer the
original call.
The ringing OF the bell at the unan-
swered telephone station, says the Elec-
trical World, causes a motor to lift the
hook switch and to strike signals near
the transmttter indicating where the
called party can be reached by telephone.
Another recent invention is that Of
sound trumpet which can be attached TO
the telephone receiver. obviating the ne
cessity of holding the receiver to the ear.

Deprived OF the power for their pray

With them religion is fanaticism. For
centuries the sluggish streams had served
to revolve the prayer wheels.

A N engineering problem of compare
"a lively recent origin is that of ade-
QuRte land clearing, particularly
as found In the Pacific Northwest. In
this vicinity what is known as logged-oft
lands are covered with hr and pine
stumps Of cut-down forest trees, vary
ing from three to six feet In diameter.
With proper clearing these Iogged-of
lands are found to be very valuable for
agricultural enterprises, being extreme
" fertile owing to the many years &C
cumulation of a thick deposit of forest
mold.

should install motors and turn the pray
er wheels by electricity. This has been
done, and now the venerable Buddhist
sits comfortably down and watches his
prayers revolve many more times per
minute than formerly the slow-moving
streams forced them around. Each revo-
luton OF a prayer, paddle corresponds to
one verbal repetition Of the prayer. Some
OF the wheels contain hundreds of prayer
paddles, so that the electrically-driven
wheels enable the follower Of Buddha to
absorb a great deal of religious consola-
tion in a very short time.

Already there have been devices man
ufactured to eliminate the possibilities of
having to come face to face with the
beast in its lair. Rocks of canvas have
been manufactured in which the photog-
rapher-hunter conceals himself within
leaping distance of the beast, with an
opening just large enough for the camera
lens to protrude.
When the click OF the camera Is heard
by the beast its anger may be watched
by the photographer. Trees have been
manufactured strong enough to with

hunting yet manufactured is a large pa
pier mache COW. The COW can be set up in
the fields, on the edge of a lake or the
