Leakage of Gasoline.

The mysterious loss of gasoline,
which embarrassed the polar expedi-
lions Of Scott and Amundsen. and
which was the principal cause of the
disaster that befell the former, has
been made the subject Of investigation
by several persons, and very plaus-
ible explanation is made by B. IT,
Brooks of the Mellon Institute of In
dustrial Research, in an article in Sci
ence. He has observed that at low
temperatures ordinary tin is liable to
be converted into the allotropic form,
gray tin powder. This change takes
place at a maximum rate at 48 degrees
Centigrade. and may occur more slow
ly at other temperatures below that
point. Hard solder, which may con-
tain IS per cent tin, is subject to the
same process Of disintegration. Hence
the danger Of leakage along the solder
seams Of the container-a fact that
should be duly considered by future
polar expeditions.

GREAT CHANGE IN WARFARE
That Of Fifty Years Ago Is Wonder
fully Different From the Present
European Conflict.

You have only to talk with some
Civil war veteran about his campaigns
to realize that in many ways war OF
today is exactly the reverse of war so
years ago.
The soldier Of 1863 had to endure
many weary marches. He had to
make the best of camp life that
often stretched over-tong and monoto-
nous weeks. Food was Of the rough
est, being chosen more because 1t
could be transported easily, and did
not easily spoil, than because Of it's nu-
trftive value. Battle when it came was
welcomed :. It broke the routine OF
standing guard, drilling, marching and
performing disagreeable camp duties.
There were hours Of hard fighting, dra-
matte moments Of heroism, flag way
ing and shouting and cheering. Then
the battle was over and the.wearisome
round of preparing for more battle be-
gan again.
In the war in Europe, every ounce
OF a soldiers energy is saved that car
be saved by transporting him by train
and motor car. Food of the best is
supplied him, even If that means the
citizen population must live on short
rations. Instead Of preparation for
battle occasionally broken by battle,
there is now almost continuous bat
tie, only occasionally broken by truce
OF marching. The firing lines are en-
~ 4vfxa ~
Flag waving has ceased. There Is no
more Of that squirting by appeals to,
hot temper. and patriotism, SO essen
tial duty Of the old-time general, to
perform.
The Civil war veteran grew tired to
death of waiting. He prayed for ac-
ton. The modern soldier wearies OF
the roar Of cannon, the rattle Of mus.
kerry. He prays for rest.

THINK LITTLE OF LIFE

AMONG PAPUANs.
Seems to Them the Most Natural

Papua has long been known as Q

But the blood of white men Is rarely

one year, nevertheless, whAn there
were 215 prisoners committed for trial.
118 Of them we're charged with murder,
nine with granddaughter and FIVE with
attempted murder. To the civilized
mind the motives to murder, shocking
enough, to be sure-nor wanting an
aspect of gruesome humor-are upon
occasion incredible. AS they are mat
tiers of record, however, disclosed upon
painstaking investigation, they are to
be accepted, not as irresponsible tales,
such as wander about the eastern seas,
but as substantial facts, however SIN
gulaf and incomprehensible they may
appear 1t Is matter of court record,
for example, that certain natives OF
what is called the coast range, being
upon trial for the murder Of two car
riers, whose threats they had cut, ad-
mitted the deed without the least hesi-
tation, and sought to justify the ghast-
" business upon the ground that the
carriers had appeared to be cold and
hungry detected fellows, far away
from their village. The prisoners had
not eaten the carriers. They had
merely-with the most considerable ex-
pedition-cut the threats Of the car
riers, who were strangers, at any rate,
and therefore of no great consequence;
and no ingenuity OF cross-questioning
could elicit motive Interior to the

Disappearing Peach Trees.


Some Of the Colorado fruit growers
on the eastern slope Of the Rocky
mountains have adopted an ingenious
method for protecting their peach or
chards during the winter season. The
plan, which has been found to be .
meritorious one, consists Of bending
the trees down to the ground, cover
ing their branches with hay or straw
and then burying them under about
two inches Of soil. In much the same
way as blackberry and raspberry
bushes are cared for In cold climates.
Although IN the past the peach trees
In this section suffered much damage
and frequently were killed outright
during the winters. by this method Of
culture they are surviving severe
weather without difnculty and bearing
good yields 81 fruit.

wheeling on Rubber Roads.

Considerable interest has pre-

the suggestion of using rubber for
street pavements. Trial sections of
such surfacing were laid in the old

as this street carries part Of the heav-

specimen of this pavement was ex.

The wood block pavement adjoining
had worn down from AN eighth to a

appeared as good as new; and it
would appear from these tests that
rubber pavements would be so durable
as to make them an economic invest.

must buy three stock exchange shares,
