HemIock Bark for Roofs.

They are using waste hcmlock tan
bark instead of expensive rug stock in
the manufacture of felt roofing. From
70 to 80 per cent of the rags Is being
replaced in some mills by waste bark.
This means considerable saving in
the manufacture of felt roofing. The
extent of the saving rendered possi-
bic by the new method is pointed out
by the fact that the roofing mills Of
the United States have total esti-
mated annual production of $1,000
tons of finished roofing of all kinds.

WHY WOuLD-BE DINERS LEFT
Waitress Orders Given to Cook Had
the Appearance of Reflection on
tho Newcomers.

y correspondent who wishes to be
known as Hick has travelled as fnr
rs Chicago, of late, and he tells US of
an incident that occurred in IL South
CLARK street restaurant. We under
stand that South Clark street is one of
the well-known thoroushfares of that
town.
In the restaurant referred to a few
nights ago, these two lines appeared
in juxtaposition on the bill of fare !:
Bankers Special Steak Dinner,
soc"
Special Chicken Dinner, 4Oc."
And these two dinners seemed very
popular on the evening in question. A
well-drcssed middle-aged gentleman
entered the dining room escorting u
lovely young lady of twenty summers
and no visible winters. Just as the
handsome couple stepped onto the floor
the sweet-voiced waitress sang out
an order to the cook:
"One banker and one chicken!

Newfoundland Export,

More activity in the lumber woods
of Newfoundland is now noticeable
than has ever yet been witnessed in
the history Of the island. Great
quantities Of timber are being cut for
local requirements, and. in addition.
nn enormous quantity to fill the de
mands from abroad for colliery pur.
poses. Indeed. it looks now rs IL q
permanent industry In this direction
would be built up, even after the war.
An indication of the new activity In
this industry Is afforded by the fact
that every steamer now leaving New.
foundland with cargoes of pulp and
PAPER carries dcckload of lumber,
and II Is understood thnt all Of this
is finding ready market in the Brit.

out Of the question at present, and
large developments In this direction

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

In the museum ut Cairo, Egypt, city
of the Pharaohs, one OF the most grew
some objects to attrlct the attention of
visitors is the mummified remains of
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 u perfect state of pres
ervatlOn that the face Is positively
fearful to look upon, and yet it has
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
1000 years before the redemption of
the world; and vet 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 cheeks are
plump; the eyelids closed as If in
sleep; the black, curly hair still clus.
ters 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.

JUST ORDER YOUR WEATHER
One Scientist Proposes to Regulate
Rain and Sunshine for the
country's Good.

How would you like to order your
own weather, just as you order Sun
days joint? There is possibility
that scientists may achieve this.
Professor Summerton of the Austria
lian Scientific Research association is
busy with experiments which may
revolutionize our meteorological ar
rangements. He contends that his sys-
tenn will secure or prevent rain and
sun, as is necessary for the country's
good.
The atmosphere about our earth is
loaded with minute particles of dust
which, when condensed with moisture
too microscopic to be attracted to
earth alone, fall to the ground in the
shape of rain.
Atmospheric electricity is said to re-
siSt rainfall. The air Immediately
above us is not charged with cleo
tricity. Our earth is charged negative
ly with electricity. At cloud level the
air is charged positively with cleo
tricity, and the dust particles there be-
come likewise charged.
During atmospheric disturbances the
equilibrium is upset, and the negative
electricity of the earth passes through,
midair to meet the positive electricity
consequently bringing down the dust
with its load of moisture.
Professor Summerton proposes that
the negative electricity should be sent
up whenever we require rain. "A con-
ductor. taking the form of captive bal.
looms fitted with steel points, and aid.
cd by certain other electrical devices

When sunshine is needed the method
would require reversing.

THREE CLASSES OF HIGHWAYS
Classification Is Prime Step in Fed
erai Aid to Good Roads, says
Congressman Borland.

With various bills before congress
for federal aid to road building the
sifica.ion of highways SO that
important through routes may be out
lined clearly from the country's maze
Of thoroughfares OF one kind or nm.
other, becomes O question OF more
and more interest. Congressman w.
p. Boriand OF Missouri, a good-roads
advocate, has expressed himself CD
this subject as follows:
1t will be necessary, In my judg-
ment, to classify all existing high
ways into at least three classiications.
The first class is that OF the great
cross-state or Interstate highways.
The second consists Of the main
feeders or great country roads;
and third, the by-roads, local roads
or lanes. These various classes OF
roads should be built, improved and
maintained with view to tho
amount Of traffic that they can bear
and must bear. Tho frst class should
be OF the most permanent and scien-
t,flc construction. The second class
could be OF less expensive nature
and would need less maintenance.
The third class could be improved
only to the extent that tho community
required. The expense of building
and maintaining these roads should
be distributed upon the same basis.
'The roads OF the first class should
be supported by the taxing power Of
a large area OF country. The second
class OF roads should also have q
wide taxing power at least co-exten-
sive with the county and possibly
with q group OF counties or with
some state aid. This would leave

BETTER ROADS ARE FAVORED
State OF Iowa 10 Lauded by Depart.
ment OF Agriculture as Model In
Construction Of Reads.

Iowa is lauded by the department OF
agriculture as a model road builder. In
Iowa a measure of control over high
way construction has been given to
the state, and a comparison with the
results obtained when the supervision
rested entirely with the counties
shows that state control is the best.
Indiana needs some form of central
ized power over highway construction
and maintenance. In isolated cases it
is excellent Wayne county, for in
stance, has a capable superintendent
OF roads, and its highways are models.
But this does not obtain over the
whole state.-Richmond Palladium.
