Artificial Wood From Straw.

Information has been made public
in Lyons, France, concerning an arti.
fetal wood which, 1t 10 stated, will be
of great value as q substitute for
natural wood. The new product has
been found. after years of study and
practical experiments, the most recent
Of which have given eminently salts,
factory results.
The process consists in transform.
ing straw into a solid material having
the resistance Of oak. The straw, after
being cut into small pieces. is reduced
to paste by boiling. to which certain
chemicals are added. When the paste
has been reduced to a homogeneous
mass 1t is put into presses, and planks,
beams, laths and holdings Of all sizes
are readily made. This new material
can be sawed like natural wood. AS a
fuel it emits a bright flames and little
smoke. 1t is further stated to be
adaptable to the manufacture Of match

ADEN0IDS ALWAYS A DANGER
Largely Due to Conditions Of Modern
Civilization, but Should 30
Guarded Against.

Adenoids have been known ever
since the days of Hippocrates, but
within generation they have be.
come far more common than they had
ever been before. They seem to be
caused by an excessive proliferation
OF Emphatic tissue. which is a mani.
festation Of general rachitism, due
to the overcrowding of cities. want
OF fresh air, scattering of dust by
rapid vehicles, eating foods that have
been preserved by chemical steril.
ization, and other effects of intensive
civilization.
Among the ordinary consequences
OF adenoids are reformation of the
jaws, teeth and nose. blocking Of the
natural breathing channels, tendency
to breathe through the mouth and to
keep the mouth open, chronic cough,
deafness caused by the stoppage Of
the eustachian tubes, and dulling Of
the intelligence through habitual con.
gestion Of the brain.
Adenoids must be treated Just a.
soon as their presence is suspected.
The operation for their removal Ia
simple and has no danger when per-
formed by a specialist.

Streets and pavements and sidewalks
are worn by the friction Of the traffic,
car wheels are ground to metallic
dust; fabrics are torn to lint; fuel
burns with products of smoke and
ashes, says writer in the Atlantic
Magazine. Dust is being continually
produced both within and without
our houses. Recent studies in sew.
.eral cities have shown that the mum.
bers of dust particles in the air above
sidewalks range from one hundred
thousand to million per cubic foot
At higher levels the numbers are less.
AT the Woolworth building in New
York. the highest building in the
world (716 feet), the air at the street
level July 2. 1913, contained 221,OO0
dust PARTICLES per cubic foot; at the
tenth story. $4,000; at the thirtieth
story. 10000. and at the fifty.seventh
story, $4,000. AS a figure for com.
parison, the air over Long Island
sound at point several miles from
shore was found to contain $4,000
dust bacteria, but the numbers are
fewer than those of the dust parti.
cles. At the John Hancock building
In Boston. the air near the sidewalk
contained 1880 bacteria and 20 molds
per cubic foot, while at the tenth story
the corresponding numbers were 800
bacteria and three molds per cubic

This applies to Eve out of six men,

other species visit the spawning
grounds only once and then die. The
salmon always spawns In fresh water,

near the sources Of the river. The
young fish agree with the current, and
this accord takes them back to the
salt sea.

Then the salmon mate and begin
