Cut Trees by Exploding Dynamite.

Instead Of an AK and saw to re-
move the tops of trees that are to be
used as masts In logging operations.
dynamite Is used to shoot Off the tops.
After the branches have been removed,
Il rigger climbs the trees, with n set
Of irons, to the point where 1t is neces-
sary to cut Off the top. Here the
trunk Is usually about IL inches in d.
ameter. The rigger ties string Of
dynamite cartridges, fastened end to
end like sausages, around the trunk mt
this point, inserts n blasting cap with
about 20 feet of fuse In one Of these
sticks, lights the end of the fuse, and
descends before the explosion takes
place. The tree top jumps into the air
with the explosion and the trunk is
left ready for attaching the rigging for
dragging In and loading the logs

Woman Wireless Operators.

The fact that n large number Of
women in the war zone are rendering
valuable service as wireless operators
has emphasized the fact that wireless
telegraphy is vocation to which wom-
en- can easily adapt themselves. Miss
Kathleen Parkin of San Rafael, CAL,
recently received first-grade radio op-
orators license from the United States
government. She is only fifteen years
old and in her third year of high
school. Miss Granelia Parker of
Florida Is the first woman to act as
universal operator. She is in charge
of the radio set of the Clyde liner Mo-
hawk. When the navy department
recently issued its countrywide call
for wireless operators who would be
available in time of war large num-
Der Of women answered, among them
social leaders In several cities. Wire
less operating was an important
branch of the work of the wOmen's
preparedness camp during the past
summer, and a number of competent
operators are available as result.

MUMMY A GREWsoME OBJECT
Unchanged After Lapse Of Three Thou.
sand Years, Face Of Egyptian
Priest Shows Death Agony.

In the museum at Cairo, Egypt, city
OF the PharaOhs one of the most grew
some objects to attract the attention OF
visitors is the mummified remains of n
pagan priest of the twenty-secOnd
dynasty. The embalmers did their
work remarkably on the body Of this
priest of long past age. The features
remain in such perfect state of pres
ervatiOn that the face is positively
fearful to look upon, and yet It hps
been placed in that coffin long before
the Roman empire commenced to- exist
The hieroglyphic inscriptions record
that he lived and offered sacrifices to
the gods of Egypt contemporaneously
with certain historical events which
are known to have happened about
LOCO years before the redemption of
the world; and yet his drawn and pal
lid face, with the traces of agony Of
death visible upon it, and his slightly
open mouth, with the white teeth show
ing between the parted lips, strikes the
beholder with the instructive impress
sion that those lips had only recently
sent forth their last gasp.
The other features seem to convey a
similar impression. The checks are
plump; the eyelids closed as If in
sleep; the black, curly hair still clus-
tiers round the skull; the skin has
scarcely lost any of its dark yellow
tint; and the ears are perfectly pre-
served. The expression of the face and
general appearance of the body are
those of man thirty years old and
six and half feet in height.
The embalming of the personages of
his time was always entrusted to the
pagan priests. Evidently in the case
of this member of their order no pains
were spared.

Nantucket, scene Of Germany's
latest submarine exploits, has taken
a front place in many previous wars.
Beginning life as whaling station,
the Quaker island built up u fleet Of
nearly $50 vessels by the end Of the
eighteenth century. In 1855, however,
the British took or sunk 1874 of these
ships. To add to Nantucket's misfor-
tunes, tallow oil began to displace
whale oil for the making Of candles,
and in 1912 the whaling fleet again suf-
fered destruction during this second
war. The famous old Puritan town or
village owed Its whaling industry to
the accident Of Christopher Hussey
having been blown out to sea, and thus
provided with an opportunity Of tack
ling the sperm whale afar from shore.
The industry persisted 80 years ago,
giving place to the hotel and the board
ing house.-LOndon Chronicle.

Poultry Pointers

Fowls kept in u clean henhOuse are
more likely to be free from disease. =.
A little practice will enable one to
dry-pick chickens and fowls and those
SO picked will usually bring better
prices.
As The chicks grow older and larger,
be sure that they do not OvercrOwd
their coops, for II they crowd at night
they will not make the best use of their
food and will not grow Us they should.
Grit and oyster shell should be in
old. To neglect this would be poor
economy.
To finish fattening turkeys give them
all the whole or cracked corn they will
eat two or three times day.
Now that the poultry cannot obtain
bugs and worms In the fields, the need
Of animal food must be supplied by
beef scraps, fish meal or cut, fresh
bone.
Spoiled grain and shrunken grain. al
though it can be bought cheaper than
good grain. is usually more expensive
to feed, because 1t has SO little food
value in 1t.
There Is no advantage In keeping
males in the flock Of layers until the
hens are mated for the breeding sea-
son next spring. In fact they are usu-
ally a disturbing factor.
1t is always better to pen pullets sep
arately from hens and feed them sep
arately because the pullets usually
need more food to complete their de-
| velopment and start them laying.
Feed a variety of grain, including
corn, a little wheat and some oats, II
possible, and the feed will cost less in
proportion to the eggs produced, for
fowls cannot do well on one kind of
food alone.

EASY TO SILVER MIRRORS
Simple Directions Given by Oklahoma
Chemist Will Be Found Of
Much Value.

The following directions for silver
ing mirrors are supplied by DR..
Charles X. Francis, chemist at Okla
homa A. and NJ. college:
Thoroughly clean the surface with
soap and warm water to which add a
few drops of I've. Rub the surface
dry. and then keep it covered to pro-
tect from dust. A wall of putty or
clay should be built about two inches
away from the spot to be repaired,
being very careful not to touch the
clean surface; this is to serve as q
reservoir fox the silvering bath. For
each nine square inches to be covered,
pour One-half ounce of per cent
solution Of silver nitrate. To this add
ammonia water, drop by drop, until
a light brown sediment appears and
does not dissolve. There should be a
very small quantity of this sediment
produced.
Dissolve piece Of glucose, about
one-fOurth inch square. In half-ounce
of water. Warm the solution and add
to the nitrate solution on the mirror
which should be in a warm place pro.
tected from dust, and allowed to re.
main for II hours. Pour off the solu.
ton, dry, remove all traces of putty
ETC.. then cover the entire surface with
shellac
Diluted nitric acid will dissolve the

ONLY B0YHooD MEMORY NOW
Writer Recalls Old Tin Safe That
Stood In the Dining Room and Was
Forerunner Of lcebox.

Remember the old tin safe that
stood in the corner of the dining room ?
1t is still in use to some extent in
the country, but we in the city do not
encounter 1t so frequently as formerly.
The fcechest has taken it's place, and
. the china closet and the pantry have
made 1t obsolete for the most part.
But 1t was wonderful invention In It's
day-and the cold food you could sneak
out of 1t when nobody was looking was
the pest food In the world, remarks
the Dayton CO., News.
A f1imsy sort of thing so far as the
woodwork was concerned; cheap pop
lar lumber stained with cheap var
nish-that is about all 1t amounted to,
with sheets Of tin punched full Of tiny
holes like nutmeg CRATER. 1t was or
namental, all right, with all of its
shortcomings, for the holes were
punched after pattern, and it had
a pleasing effect because you knew
what 1t contained. Why, there was
the sugar bowl on the top shelf; they
always put the sugar bowl as high as
possible, just so chap would have
to get chair to stand on when he
wanted to investigate.
If the ants discovered the safe, the
legs had to be placed in little re-
ceptacle with kerosene in them. Flies
could not get through the small holes
in the tin, but the gnats passed
through readily and found delight in
the apple sauce that was in evidence
along about this time of the year.
Gnats certainly liked apple sauce, but
boy didn't care anything about
gnats when he wanted apple sauce.
Mother was somewhat artistic in her
tastes. She scalloped red or pink It's
sue paper and placed it upon the
shelves, so the edges would drop down
and present pleasing, wavy picture
when the safe was opened, but news
papers were used upon the shelves
folded neatly and pressed down fiat.
There was sort of sacred at
mosphere surrounding the old tin safe.
1t was the most used and the most
useful piece of furniture about the
home. The children sought it when
nobody else was present, and half bur-
rowed themselves in its generous cav
tiles. And now-just think-we
haven't seen an old tin safe for gen.

with well-simulated sigh, "Of course

This means considerable saving In
