LUMBER DRIED BY ELECTRI-
CITY.

French lumbermen have recently
discovered a new use for electricity.
They use it to season and dry green
lumber. 1t has been found capable
of accomplishing in few days what
ordinarily required weeks or months.
The timber is piled IN layers with
eelctric trolytic mats between them.
These mats are connected with any
available source of power,
The mats are sheets of galvanized
iron placed between layers of jute.
They are soaked in water before
being placed between the layers of
lumber.
Timbers of all sizes may be
treated in this way, including un-
peeled logs, but the piles should not
be more than five feet high. Eeither
direct or indirect current may be
used, the voltage required ordinarily
being about 100. About $50 ampere
hours are required to dry thirty-five
cubic feet or lumber.
1t has been found that the cleo
trictty destroys all germs and disease
in the timber. thereby lessehing its
liability to rot. and rendering 1t more
durable than that dried by the sun.

a Rlundcr That Is Coskly.

! 1t is easy TO credit the report from
Washington that there is a
ocrats in favor of restoring
at the next session Of Congress
| the tariff on sugar. 1t is true that
the deficit in the revenues fo- the
fiscal year just ended was not so
/, great as had been expected. Never
theless in spite of extraordinary
means taken to increase the govern
4 less than expenses. The explanation
is simple enough. Under the law
! duties provided by the Underwood
Simmons act. imports did not yield
the needed amount of revenues That
fact was made plain both before ana
after the European war broke out.
although friends Of low tariff would
have the country believe that the
struggle abroad was the cause of the
deficit So the administration IS con-
fronted with the necessity of devising
some plan for obtaining adequate
revenues. And naturally the first
thought is with reference TO sugar.
That commodity for many years be-
fore President Wilson took office had
been subject to import duties. They
used to produce about 0.00O,0Go
of revenue annually. In old times
even Democratic administrations IA
vorcd a tariff on sugar for Two rea-
sons-first. it produced an enormous
income. and, second, because the
southern growers desired protection
for their industry. SO even free
trade Dem ocrats formerly favore1
duties on imported sugar, says the
San Diego. Union.
President Wilson and his assocl- I
ates, however, refused to adhere to
the doctrine OF their predecessors.
and when Congress met in extra sesr!
sion in 1913, it became known that
the tariff on sugar was to be material
ly reduced for the present and aool-
ished entirely on the advent of the
year 1916. That plan the president
forced through Congress. Naturally
he viii be loath to undo the action
then taken. But the revenue ques-
ton applies to the future as we'll as

easiest way out OF the difficulty. That
step. Of course, would be bitter pill.
1t would be an explicit confession
that Republicans who opposed the
Jnderwoo -Sinmo law because IL
would not produce sufficient revenue
were right in their contention. But
it is useless to deny that which mas

country There is nothing left for
the Democrats but to crawl as grace.
