BURNING STUMPs ON LAND
Special Machine, Which Has Long
Been Sought, Has Been Invented
TO Do the Work.

An engineering problem Of COM
paratively recent origin is that of
adequate land clearing, particularly
as found in the Pacific northwest,
says the Engineering Record. In
this vicinity what is known as logged
off lands are covered with fir and
pine stumps of cut-down forest trees,
varying from three to six feet in
diameter. With proper clearing these
logged-off lands are found to be very
valuable for agricultural enterprise,
being extremely fertile owing TO the
many years accumulation of a thick
deposit of forest mold.
Many methods have been employed
for freeing the lands from stumps
and preparing for seeding and cult
%vation, such as grubbing, burning.
blasting and pulling either by horse
machine or donkey engine. Of these
the burning out of the roots is the
most favored method and a specia.
machine has been devised for this
purpose.
The use of the burner is particu.
larly simple. A hole is bored dowr
through the center of the stump anc
a small stick of powder is employed
to split it apart. This splitting
while not entirely essential, faeili
tates in allowing the fire started OF
top of the stump to gain rapid head
way and burn more evenly. A larg,
metal hood is then placed over TIL,
stump and banked up with a littl,
earth at the bottom and forms
closed but not alright chamber. 4
fire is then started and pipe connec
tions from a blower made, aftel
which a constant downblast is blown
upon the flame, continually flaming
it. Stumps are consumed in thi
manner in from two to four hours.

SEES AN AVERAGE CITIZEN
Indignant Correspondent Describes
the Only One He Knows Well
Not Attractive Type.

You don't believe there is any such
thing as an average man? know
one, "Osra Simons' writes to the ed
itor of the New York Press.
He is five feet eight inches tall and
weighs 100 pounds. He wears a blue
suit which he has made to order, say
ing that the stores can't fit him. He
wears a scarfpin, a tie holder, cuffs
links with diamond chips In them
and a diamond ring on the third I'm
ger OF his left hand.
He gets $125 a month and always
has currency in his pocket. In this
respect he differs from his wife, to
wnom he gives $40 a week ito run
the house on" He sends her and the
children to a beach for one week
each year and tells his friends that
they are having the time Of their
lives.
He smokes cigars. and his tobac-
conist keeps a special box for him.
He doesn't come home to dinner
every night for the reason that the
$40 a week is not enough to buy the
kind OF food he likes, He goes to a
restaurant and orders a steak with
French fried potatoes and a large
coffee.
He always seems to have a new
straw hat. wherein he again differs
from his wife.
He knows that Birdie Cree is back
with the Yanks, but he doesn't know
what his children read or whether
they read at all.
He bowls once a week. and belongs
tot district club.

he gloated, gloatingly twisting the big
diamond between f~oheinger and

timidity he approached the bag, put in
his hand and drew out-blank!
There was a dead silence-except
for a low murderous hiss from the lips
of Bad Glib. Then the blufi, hearty
Dan grasped one hand Of the aston

congratulation and placed the won

Il was only for a very few hours that

L E PALMY DAYS.

One hundred years ago one of the
busiest seaports on the Atlantic coast
was Salem, the historic Massachu-
setts city which a few weeks ago was
visited by a terrific fire. During the
war of 1912 Salem was the favoritC
port for American privateers. Prob
ably two-score of these predatory yes
aels hailed from Salem, and, when
the war was ended, few Of the in.
habitants of the little city were UNI
able to tell some tale of personal adj
ventures, cruising against the enemy
In fact, Salem had the honor of re-
ceiving the first prize captured on the
ocean after the declaration Of war
Then the whole town turned out tC

long before the war was closed, the
appearance Of a prize in the harbol
was such a common occurrence thai
it created little excitement.
