suffering is told by Stephen b. Nelson
of Vancouver, B. G. Nelson and
friend, Frank X. Thacker of St Johns,
N. f., who believed himself familiar
enough with Newfoundland to venture
into the wilds without a guide, went
there in the dead of winter to hunt
moose. They supposed they were well
enough equipped for all emergencies,
but they did not count on Thacker
tumbling down a mountain side and
breaking his leg when their ammuni-
ton and food supply We're exhausted.
The plans OF the hunters were upset
by the accident to Thacker. They
were then far from any settlement,
but they recalled mountain cave that
they had passed, and Nelson put his
friend on his back and carried him.

After their arrival at the cave Nelson
made splints and put the broken bones

Made Fire by Friction.
They found that their supply of
matches was exhausted about this
time, and as a fire was absolutely
necessary to cook their food, mostly
venison, and keep off the wild beasts
Indian process OF making fire by fric-
ton, which is done at all camps of
the boy scouts.
With a long strip of catgut made
fast to bow they twirled an arrow
like, tough piece OF wood in a hole in
a small block of softer wood, around
the friction point of which they had
punched thin shavings and paper.
They soon had a fire. The record of
the boy scouts In making this sort OF
fire is thirty seconds, but Nelson took
much more time than that because he
had less experience in the process.
After the fire was kindled the strand
ed hunters did not permit II to go out.
Nelson gathered a lot Of fagots, and
the injured partner helped to keep the
fire going when Nelson was otherwise
engaged. Bears came to the entrance
of the cave. but were frightened away
by the blaze. But the fire was ineffec-
tive against a pack of wild dogs that
were driven by hunger to attempt the
lives of the hunters. Without ammu-
milton they were forced to use bowl
ders and small stones to protect them
selves against the bowling pack that
gathered at the mouth of the cave.
Ready to Make Last Desperate Stand.
The hunters were prepared as a last
resort to close in and use their long
hunting knives on the brutes. but the
great stones they rolled down into the
pack and the smaller ones they hurled
killed half dozen dogs. This saved
them from further attack, as the fam
ished animals left alive fell on the
dead ones and ate them
When the injured hunter got well
enough to limp without pain they
started back to the nearest settlement
or In the direction they judged it
should be. They were helped by
guide they fell in with. and he went
on with them to St Johns. They were

but they had not hesitated to use their
hunting knives on the less dangerous

WOOD PRESERVED BY SALT,
Logs Picl<led In Great Salt Lake Sound
After Years of Service.

Logs Picked In Great Salt Lake Sound
After Years of Service.
Experts of the United States forest
service have discovered that the wa
ters of the Great Salt lake act as a
preservative against decay In dmbers.
In replacing a railroad trestle recent
ly burned along the north shore OF
Great Salt lake it was found that the
piles were still perfectly sound after
forty three years of service. In looking
for the cause, since the piles were only
of local pine and FIR, 1t was discovered
that the timbers were impregnated
with salt. At another point on the lake
eighteen inch piles. set twenty mine
years ago. were similarly preserved
with salt.
1t is pointed out that the reason why
the waters OF Great Salt lake act as a
strong preservative, as distinguished
from ocean waters, is because the lake
water is so much saltier, being practi-
calfy a saturate solution. Forest ex-
perts suggest that ties and poles i'm
