FROM SUGAR TO CELLULosE
Scientists Have Been Unable to Learn
From Plants and Trees the Sc
cret Of Its Production.

There are certain combinations of
carbon and hydrogen known as sugars
many Of them, but all alike In that
they are made up of carbon atoms
strung together as in chain. with
hydrogen atoms stuck on along the
side of the chain. Now, suppose you
take a number of these sugar mole
cules, as the smallest particles imag-
Unable are called, and bunch them to-
gether so that lot of these units are
combined into one big complex one.
Then you have series of resins or
gums. This is what chemists call
polymerization. Now let us take these
resins and by chemical chicanery and
tricks cause them to bunch their mole.
cules again, to polymerize. and If we
carry it far enough we get cellulose.
That is, we should If we could.
But trees and plants do this as easy
as you please; they start with water
and carbonic acid gas, from the air,
and this they transmogrlfy into sugar,

VALUE OF WOOD SHOWN
Many Interesting Experiments
Made by Uncle Sam.
Tests Made by Forest Products Labo-
ratory at Madison, Wis.,, Prove Big
Aid to Many Industries.

Some of the most interesting expert
mental work which is carried on by
Uncle Sans government is accom-
plished at the forest products labora-
tory maintained by the United States
forest service in cooperation with the
University of Wisconsin, at Madison,
Wis. The results obtained have a di-
rect interest for the various industries
which depend upon wood in some form
for their material, and also a general
interest for everyone.
To benefit both these industries and
the consumers Of their products by
bringing about better and more eco
nOmical use of wood in all its forms is
the object of the labOratory's expert
mentS.
Although wood seems to furnish an
excellent material for street paving,
the consumption for this purpose has
fallen off 80 per cent since 1911. One
of the chief reasons for this is the
tendency of oil to eXude from the
treated blocks and of the blocks them
selves to swell. Tests carried on by
the laboratory to remove these defects
have been very successful, and the
methods of treatment evolved have
been adopted by the committee on
paving of the American Society of Mu-
nicipal Improvements and by several
cities in the United States. Briefly,
the method is to apply both prelimi-
nary and final vacuum in the course
of preservative treatment.
Another interesting experiment re-
Gently carried out by the laboratory
included the construction of an expert
mental tirehouse, in which it Is possi-
bic to duplicate conditions existing in
modern offices. Several test fires were
built in this house, and the results
promise to yield valuable information
regarding the extent to which wood
constitutes fire hazard in modern
| buildings. Fire tests were made of
Is commercial paints designed for ex-
terror use, of which only five proved to
have fre-retarding properties. Un-
painted test pieces used for comparison
resisted ignition 43 seconds, while the
five pieces just referred to resisted for
periods varying from one minute and
three seconds to two minutes and ten
seconds. Four interior plants tested
| gave good results in comparison with
untreated wood. Patents were applied
for, to be dedicated to the public, on q
new fire-prOOting compound developed
by the laboratory.
officials of the laboratory say that
tests carried on for the past few years
by the laboratory and a number OF
textile schools have finally demon
strated the value of Usage orange fac
tory waste as a source of dyeStuff
Commercial tests in dyeing leather anC
wOOlens with cOlOrs obtained from
Usage orange gave highly satisfactory
results. Usage orange grown in the
north is relatively lacking in dyestuff
and only material grown in Texas and
Oklahoma is suitable for commercial
use. The yellow dye which Usage or.
ange is capable of providing is now
largely obtained from fustic, an i'm.
ported wood, according to experts Of
the laboratory.

cupy land on the great estates Of
the Sierras (and there are often as
many as 400 families of Indians who
live in these large haciendas, as their
fathers have for generatiOns) the own
er has the right to demand the labor
of the Indian for virtually any work he
requires and at any time. At time
of planting, wedding and harvesting all
the Indians are requisitiOned to culti-
vate the great estates, and when the
owner wishes to send his produce to
market he has simply to call upon his
Indians, who respond with their trains
of llamas, carrying the produce many
leagues to the nearest shipping place
without charge to the owner.
While this appears at first sight
nothing short Of slavery conditions,
the lot Of Indians in these mountains
is not so bad as it might seem. They
have their own bits of land, which they
cultivate assiduously and which yield
them a good living, and they have
their own sheep, llamas and alpacas
and a certain number of cattle. Their
grazing lands are apportioned to them
and they are protected in their rights.
There is no danger of their homes be-
ing taken from them. In fact, the In
dians in the interior are so truly we'd
ded to the place where they and
their fathers have lived for gen.
erations that it is virtually impossl-
BILE to move them from their homes,
and when the land changes hands they
are practically sold with the land, and
simply transfer their allegiance from
one master to another.

There is no more picturesque sight
to be seen in South America, if In
deed anywhere in the Orient, than
these Indians jOurneying on foot be-
hind their long trains of llamas, laden
with alpaca or wool, on their way to
the market places. A market place
like that at Sicuani, where on Sunday

ing their llamas and burros corralled

BIG LOSS EVERY YEAR
Non-AttendanCe at School Costs
Children $7,2O0,0OO,OO0.
Figures Based Upon Claim That Each
Day Pupil Attends Glasses is Worth
Mine Dollars to Him.
BY ]. L. McBRIEN,
School Extension Agent, U. S. Bureau

School Extension Agent, U. S. Bureau
of Education.
The further we delve into the ques-
tion of rural school attendance in it's
relation to the length of rural school
term the more evident it becomes that
we need an aroused public opinion for
a better rural school attendance and
more rigid and effective enforcement
of compulsory attendance laws to
make sure of this better attendance
not alone for the betterment of the
children themselves, but as a matter
of simple justice to the tax payers. 1t
is unjust to tax A to pay for teaching
B's children when the authority that
levies and collects the tax from A al
lows to keep his children out of
school whether it be through indiffer-
ence, ignorance or selfishness. Fur
thermore, it is crime against BIS
children to let him keep them out of
school. Whether poor attendance of
| pupils comes from Indifference of par
ents, sleeping public opinion or lax
enforcement of compulsory attendance
laws-Or from all of these things-the
penalty falls hardest and most direct
ly upon the children in their lost op-
pOrtunity for an education, though so
ciety must pay heavy toll in the end
for its own SHINING against such chill
dren.
AS concrete example Of the magni-
tude and gravity of these problems in
some of the states, take Pennsylvania.
The enrolment in her public schools
for the year ending July 5, 1915,
reached the colossal figure of l ,461, ,937.
The average daily attendance in her
public schools for that year was 1,166,-
513-making her average daily alb
Sences climb to the startling number
295, ,424. The cost of enforcing the
compulsory attendance law in Pennsyl-
vania for the same year was $685.
991.71. These figures cover both rural
and urban schools. The latest avail
| able statistics on separate attendance
in urban and rural schools of Pennsyl-
vania (191O) show that the number at
tending daily in every 100 enrolled in
the urban schools of this state was 80,
while in the rural schools it was only
76.6. 1t is evident, therefore, that the
rural schools of Pennsylvania had a
larger per cent of pupils in the $685.
424 daily absentees than did it's urban
schools. Yet Pennsylvania is one of
the six states with the highest daily
attendance.
Statisticians claim that every day q
pupil attends school is worth 50 ia
him. On this basis the 295, ,424 pupils
daily absent from Pennsylvania
schools last year cost over $2,655, ,O0C
daily, or for the school term of 17O
days, over $45OOOO,OOO. For the nation
at large the 100000 boys and girls
daily absent from school lost thereby
on school term of 16O days, $780,
100000.

A CCORDING to recent statistics
~ the population of Peru COM
~ prises 100000 people. This
population is divided as fol-
lows: One million two hundred and
sixty thousand mestizos, or mixed
races from intermarriages Of the
whites with the Indians, 100000 whites,
100000 negroes, 10000 Orientals and
100000 Indians.
The great problem of Peru is the
problem of the, Indian, who is not only
numerically the important factor in the
country, but is also virtually the only
support of the vast majority Of the
population, according to the Lima cor
respondent of the Christian Science
Monitor. 1t is common saying that
all Peru lives off the Indian. If the
Indian was taken out of Peru to-
day the country would suffer until the
remaining portion of the population
had learned by necessity to cultivate
the land and to make living,
The ancient Inca empire, of which
Cuzco was the center and the home
Of the Inca kings, extended originally
from beyond Quito to the southern
coast Of Chile, including what is now
known as Ecuador, Peru and Chile,
and these ancient peoples had here a
civilization in many respects more ad-
vanced than that Of the Spanish ad-
venturers who conquered them.
When Pizarro came to Peru there
were nearly 100000 of these inhab-
itants of the Incas' realm in Peru
alone, industrious, law-abiding, prac-
ticing progressive arts and having ir-
rigated farms, traces of which are still
to be seen along the high peaks of the
Sierra tablelands. Their old homes
and fOrtresses, their temples and
their architecture reveal q state and
quality of knowledge and architectu-
raj skill resembling that of ancient
Egypt.
When the Spaniards came, not to
cOlOnize so much as to conquer, and
exploit, the Indians were driven from

Porto Rico Prosperous.

Uncle Sans territory of Porto Rico
is prosperous as a result of the mar
keting of the largest sugar crop in the
history of the island. The sugar pro-
ductiOn from the 1916 cane crop was
4S3,5S9.6S short tons, an increase of
137,O99.25 tons over the crop of 1915.
Practically all of it has been marketed
at price that sugar men say will av-
erage 51s cents per pound. On this
basis the crop was worth in excess of
$53,OOO,OOO.
