gestion caused by jitneys, which are
required to halt and not pass stand
ing car. SO far Milwaukee has failed
to regulate this traffic, and many and
daily accidents result. So far the net
result to the public is to slow down
street railway traffic and encourage
an irresponsible and in many ways
dangerous encumbrance of busy thor
Oughfares. Invitably many, if not
most, of the jitney ears now running
will drop out as they wear out or
prove Improbable. One driver told
me, the other day, that the big cars
do not pay, because of the running
cost. The little five passenger cars
can make wages, according to this
chap, but he may have been Handing
it to me" for his was small car. One
thing that seems altogether probable
as result of the jitney furry through
out the country, is that lines of cleo
trio coaches will be established in
many cities to reach residence routes
not actually touched by street car
lines, but that the jitney in its pre-
sent unregulated shape is a nuisance
and menace to morals and life is
certain.

WOODS THAT SINK.
There Are Many Varieties That Viii
Not Float In Water.

That wood floats Ii such common
place fact In our lives that we hardly
give 1t any thought Ii we lived In
tropical climates we would learn to
distinguish between woods that float
and woods that do not font. Many of
the woods of Mexico and South Amer
lea are so heavy even when perfectly
dry that they will sink In water, nOta-
My lignum vitae. which Is the wood
commonly used for bowling balls.
Among our common native woods
there are several that will not float
when green. The cypress of the south
Is often girdied year before IL Is cut
so that II Will die and dry while stand
Ing thus making 1t possible to float the
logs to the mill.
The reason why some woods float Is
not because the substance OF which
they are made is lighter than water,
but because the cavities TN the cells
are 50 large that the air In them buoys
up the wood. The material (cellulose)
which conposes the greater part of the
cell wall Is heavier than water, so that
II the air In the cells is replaced by wa
ter the wood will sink. This Ii just
what happens to wood which has been
In water for a long time and has be-
come "waterlogged."
1t is the large water content OF the
heartwood of freshly felled oaks and
hickories and OF the sapwood OF GER
tain conifers that causes these woods
to sink. for when dry they will float.
Lignum vitae and other heavy trop-
ical woods, even when dry, sink be-
cause most of the cell cavities are so
small compared to the thick cell walls
that the air In the cavities IL not
enough To float the wood.
