New Soap Material

leans. but the one gathered by the
Yucca bacata. 2 species with excep-
~tionally large fruits, is the most used.
The soap manufacturers, however.
utilize the tops or the roots. Manu-
facturers are paying eight dollars a
ton for the plant at the railway sta
tions. while the estimated cost Of cut
ting, drying, baling and hauling ranges
from five to six dollars, depending
upon the distance to the railroad.
Since a man can ordinarily get out a
ton a day, the gathering Of the soap
weed affords an opportunity to secure
a fair days wages at a time when
other ranch activities are @ press
ing. After cutting. the soap weed is
allowed to dry from 60 to 80 days and
then is baled up in the ordinary
broomeorn baling machine.
For a long time this weed has been
the Indian and Mexican women have
used, particularly for washing their
hair, or which purpose it is consid-
cred especially suited, since 1t con-
tains no alkali. ~Present-day soap
manufacturers use it for toilet and
wool soaps. It's qualities have been
known for a long time but the harvest
Ing Of soap weed is just now becom-
ing commercially important.
The industry is now operating on
lands adjacent to the Kansas national
forest and it is expected that the de-
mand will soon spread to that forest,
some portions of which bear an abund-
ant supply OF the plant. There is a
plentiful supply of it throughout
southern Colorado, Arizona, New Mex
leo and Texas.
Forest officers have considered this
weed a nuisance, since it is the nature
Of the plant to spread over extensive
areas and kill off other vegetation. It
is particularly a pest on stock ranges.
In line with its policy of range i'm
provement, the government is anxious
to rid the forage areas of all such
injurious plants, and it Is the hope
of the forest officers that the COM
mercial demand for soap weed will
soon reach such proportions that it
will not only take an otherwise use
less product, but also will eradicate
it from areas which could be utilized
to better advantage for the supplying
OF forage to cattle and sheep.

MENACE TO SEAMEN.
S%hlpmasters Always on Lookout
for Ocean DereIicts.
Abandoned and unsuitable Vessels
Inspire Sailors With Terror IN
Foggy Weather-Danger OF
Lumber Ships.

New York.-The dismasted, battered
hulk of a derelict, floating SO low in
the water as to be almost level with
the waves, is, Of course, a very great
danger to navigation, especially IN
foggy weather.
The majority of derelicts are sail
ing ships laden with timber. They
may have been dismantled and rem
dered absolutely helpless in storms,
partly demolished by fire, by collision
with an iceberg or by the mere force
CT the waves themselves. The crew.
unable to make their ship ~seaworthy,
may have abandoned it in the boats,
OF have been rescued by some pass
ing vessel, but, whatever their fate.
their forsaken ship, if laden with
wood, remains practically unsuitable
and is driven hither and thither over
the ocean at the mercy of the winds
and currents.
! In course Of time the swelling Of the
wood cargo may burst the hull asun-
der, but until this happens or until
the vessel is driven ashore and broken
into matchwood against some ironshod
coast. it will remain a terror to pass
ing ships.
Now and then q steamer may be
rendered helpless owing to its ma.
age of coal, by fire or by the loss OF
its rudder or propeller in heavy
weather. It's crew may decide to ahan.
don it ard take to the boats. but il
they neglect to open the sea cocks
on their departure their ship may float
for many a long day.
The erratic movements OF some
derelicts are almost uncanny. Not SC
very lCng ago a Norwegian sailing shiJ
called the Crown left Nova Scotia fol-
a South American port. 1t was laden
with timber and. While still in the
by a terrible storm. which dismasted
ard left it a battered wreck.
The crew, realizing it was useless &c
remain on beard, abandoned it and
took to the boats. to be heard
Of again. but their ship, although IL
vanished completely for no less than
three months. was sighted at the end
of this time on the edge OF the Sar
gasso sea. a good 700 miles from
where disaster overlook it.
Soon afterward it was sighted OF
Bermuda. but then disappeared again
and may still be drifting about the
! ocean
Another sailing ship was abandoned
off Cape May. The crew e~ndeayored
to destroy ii by fire on their departure
but. although it hlazed furionsly. the
sodden, waterlogged cargo eventually
extinguished the, flames.
A few weeks later the hulk was of
the English coast and it was though,
1t would be dashed to pieces on the
shore but, altering its course, it pro
ceeded to the southwark along the
French coast and was next seer near
the Azores. Having got thus far. i,
proceeded TO cross the Atlantic and
after covering fully 5000 miles in its
Wanderings. finally drifted ashore
nea Panama.
Derelicts are sometimes salved anc
bring in large sums in salvage money
to the crews of the ships which TOW
them into port.
