MARKS IN WOOD.
Indicate Stress Through Which Trees
 Had Passed

Washington, Feb 26.--Little dia- gCnal streaks or wrinkles across the grain of piece of timber not only betray weakness, but sometimes indi- cate periods of stress through which the wood passed when it was growing. They may even be taken as a sort of check on the official record of wind storms, as in the case of some lumber tested at the forest service laboratory at Madison, Wisconsin.
 The marks are caused by what are called "cOmpreSSiOn failures" which occur when the fiberS bend or buckle under too heavy strain. In cutting up logs collected for experiments at the laboratory, it was noticed that these compression failures appeared on the north side of a number of trees which came from the same To- Cality in Florida. By counting the annual rings of the wood and from knowledge of the time when it was cut in the forest it was decided that the compression failures must have been caused by severe wind from the south about the year 1898. In quiries were made in Florida and it wos found that a hurricane had, in fact, swept over the region at the time indicated.

meal bread has been baked with from twenty-five to fifty per cent. potato meal and the remaining percentage wheat The most satisfactory loaves in combining economy and appear ance were those made with the mini mum percentage allowed in Austria or Jess. The loaves made with more than thirty per cent. potato meal were not so satisfactory as they were heavier and less attractive in form. The bread has rather coarse texture and dark appearance but possesses a distinctive and Agreeable flavor. It also retains moisture for a much longer period than ordinary wheat bread.
 The bureau of chemistry used the imported potato fake in some of it's experiments and in others, meal made by slicing, milling and drying potatoes on small scale in it's lah-- oratories. It should be added that such ordinary potato four as is on our American markets is not the same as the German potato flake or Walz-mehl which has given such sat- isfactory results in the experiments.
 The question has been raised as to whether the ordinary cooked potato might not be satisfactorily substi- tuted for the prepared potato meal. The experimenters believe that it might serve the same purpose if used in just the right proportion, but this would be difficult for the average housewife to determine as there Is great danger of using too much and producing a very soggy loaf. How ever the custom of adding a very lit Ia 1tot o1, h1, housekeepers to Keep their bread moist. and this practice can very well be recommended for more general use.
 Dried bananas, ripe and unripe, and chestnuts are other substitutes for wheat flour with which experiments are being made by the bureau of chemistry. Still other products which offer promise of furnishing the pub lie with a cheap and nutritious bread are the following: Bran, soy bean, white bean, millet, kafir, milo, dash cen. cottonseed flour, oatmeal, cas- sava, buckwheat, rye, corn gluten, kaoliang. rice (polished and naturaD , peas, potato (Irish and sweet, corn meal (white and yellow).

The experiments have determined that the strength of d piece of wood may be seriously impaired by slight compression failures due to rough handling. Dropping a beam across d skid may cause a compression failure at the point at which the beam strikes to skid and it will be at this point that the beam gives way when it breaks under a strain too severe for the weakened fXers to withstand
 Hitherto unaccountable breakage in hickory wagon spokes and other pre- sumably strong material are now att tIibuted to compression failures caused by wind storms in the period of growth or by hard usuage in lum- boring and manufa curing processes.

temporary pass from the officer, he made his way by rowboat to Batoum.
 The rest of the English-speaking party at camp, caught in the fighting too ate to escape, had remained in the small hospital at the mine, flying the Red Cross flag. The artillerymen serving the guns at the camp were cut off to two men and the infantry toward night became helpless. The Turks were advancing in the dark, lighting their way with burning sheds. Two of the party, an American and a Scotsman, started cut to cross the mountains to the Russian town of Artvin while the others, under cov CT of darkness took a chance on reaching Borchka and got through safely The American, Morris Cald- we'll, and the Scot, got lost in the mountains and were for three days without food, before they finally ar rived at river which they had to swim In midstream they were greet ed by rifle fire. The Scot was killed and his body drifted down stream, but Caldwell escaped to a Turkish village. He was so worn out, that he even dropped off to sleep while seeing a Turk in the same room Whet a butcher knife and talk about a Holy War
 Arrested As Spy
 By good fortune, an old Turk form erly employed at the mine, recog- nized Caldwell as an American and set him free. He returned to the mine, boarded up the camp, and then worked his way to TrebizOnde. Here he was arrested as a spy and served eighteen days in Turkish prison. He obtained release only by the mere chance of signalling a passing Ameri- can, who happened to be the United States consul. From Trebizonde he took Greek steamer for Constanti- nople, which made the trip in six teen days instead of the usual three.

It was finally decided to clear up the matter and autopsies were made of such cases. Each time there was found somewhere in the body a small fragment of our three inch shell, having made an imper
