BAKING POWDER IS
MADE OF SAWDUST
Remarkable Result Of Expert
ments Made in Uncle Sans
Laboratory.
FOREST WASTE IS UTILIZED
silk Socks, MIX Bottles and Other
Articles Of Commerce Also Are
Being Manufactured Now
From SawmiIl Refuse.

Biscuits made with sawdust baking
powder may be one of the delicacies
served upon the American table, II
experiments being made by Uncle Sam
In his forest products laboratory at
Madison, Wis, are successful. The
experiments, in fact, already have
proved successful. for biscuits made
with this new baking powder recently
were served to members Of the Nation
al Lumber Manufacturers association
who visited the laboratory.
This forest products laboratory,
which is one Of the most remarkable
institutions maintained by Uncle Sam,
its object being to promote efficiency
In the lumber industry by reclamation
Of part of the present waste, has been
rechristened, unOficially, the 'sawdust
laboratory" In view of the amazing
work that is being done for the con-
version of sawdust and other lumber
waste into valuable articles of COM
merce, especially the development of
methods of reducing the present print
paper famine.
Here are some of the lines along
which the "sawduSt laboratory" Is
working, In addition to the production
of sawdust baking powder:

sawdust silk socks being valued at
S. ,5O0,OO0 in 1915. In addition the
same department of the laboratory is
turning sawmill waste into binding

woven willow type, milk bottles.

The production of the strongest pa
per ever made In a simpler manner
from the waste Of southern pine. The
new process, If used generally, would
increase paper production In the
South 10000 tons daily.
Making grain alcohol from the wood
waste, with acetic and other standard
acids and chemicals.
Not the least important demOnstra-
ton made for the benefit Of the lum-
herman was that of how wooden
houses can be made flreprOof by re-
tardant chemicals. Two houses of the
size of an average Office were erected,
one with treated wood, the other with
untreated. It was shown that despite
an enormous heat. the trented build
ing escaped without charring In the
face of temperature of 1000 degrees.
Methods of chemically treating wood
to make it nOninflammable are being
worked ON by the laboratory.
1t was to make possible experiments
on a broader scale, and the working
out in the real commercial plants Of
laboratory methods such as those de-
veloped at this demonstration that led
the National Association of Lumber
Manufacturers to ask congress to add
$4,000 to the present $4,000 appro-
priatiOn for the laboratory. The addi-
tiOn is needed chiefly to expedite ex-
periments in meeting the paper fam
Inc, which otherwise would have to be
carried on at the expense of work in
fireproofing wood, and similar expert
mentS.

NEW MAP SHOWS YOUR HOUSE
Uncle Sam, In Publications, Has Un-
dertaken to Show Details Of Every
Settled Locality.

DO you know that Uncle Sam has
made map upon which Is shown the
exact location of your home-unless
you live in large city where the
houses are so close together that it
is impossible to show them separately
on an ordinary map?
This is a new idea of Uncle Sans,
and one about which little has been
said. The government divided the en-
tire United States into small sections
and has mapped each section on such
a large scale that all roads, forests,
streams. schools, churches and dwell
ing houses are shown. The work has
not yet been completed, and not all the
United States has been mapped at this
time, but the greater part of the set
tied areas of the country has been COW
cred.

Every Woman Wants
Seals Can Drown.

1t is curious fact that the fur seal
was once a land animal. The baby
seals are actually afraid of water |;
they would drown If thrown into 1t.
and have to learn to swim by repeated
efforts. When once they have been
taught to swim, however, they sOOD
forget to walk.
There ere in existence only two i'm
portant herds of fur seals, one of
which has it's breeding ground in the
Commander islands, belonging to Rus
sia, the other in the Pribllof islands,
belonging to the United States. OF
these the latter is much the larger.
The Pribilof islands are government
property and thus 1t happens that the
United States government finds itself
the owner of by far the most valuable
herd of fur seals In the world.

some of them so large that they could

ALL TYPES OF FORESTS HERE
Transition From LowIand to Extreme
Alpine Character Seen in Mount
Rainier National Park.

One of the interesting features of a
visit to Mount Rainier National park
Is the transition of the fOrSet from the
fowland to the extreme Alpine type,
says G. F. Allen, in a pamphlet en-
titled "FOrests of Mount Rainier Ma
tiOnal Park" just issued by the de-
partment Of the Interior. "At the
western boundary close to Nisqually
river" says Mr.. Allen, ''the road skirts
the base of the lightly timbered ridges
and passes into a forest of large and
and old Douglas fir and western hem
lock. After the road crosses the
Rainier fork, noble fir and amabilis
fir appear, but the Douglas fir and
western hemlOck are still the prevail
ing species. Above Longmire Springs
the noble and amabilis fir, mixed with
western hemlock, become the predOm-
inant type. Above Narada Falls the
forest is more open and the trees are
still smaller. Mountain hemlock and
Alpine fir succeed the trees of the
lower slope. The glades and meadows
become larger and more numerous and
the traveller soon enters the open park
of Paradise valley, in which are but
scattered groves of trees"
The remarkable development Of the
forests about the base of Mount
Rainier results from climatic conditions
peculiarly favorable to tree growth.
The ocean winds that pass through the
gaps of the Coast range are laden
with moisture which falls in the form
Of rain or snow on the west slope Of
the Cascades. The trees are nour-
ished by this moisture through long
season Of annual growth and form an
evergreen forest which is, in some re-
spects, the most remarkable In the
world.

GREAT SUM REALIZED FROM
SCRAP METAL AND Dresses
Value Of Products Obtained From One
Kind Of Waste That Is Not
Wasted STA, ,3o4, $50 in 1915.

There is some waste material In the
United States that is not wasted. says
Uncle Sam.
The value Of the copper, lead, zinc,
tin. aluminium, and antimony recOv-
cred from scrap metals, skimmings,
and dresses In 1915 was S114,9O4, 800,
against $57.O39, ,7O6 In 1914, a 100 per
cent increase. This large gain was
caused by greater rec0yeries and much
higher average values for all metals.
Increased traffic on the railroads and
a large demand for metal products,
made 1915 the most prosperous year
In the waste metal trade.
The imperative demand for zinc and
copper by munition manufacturers and
for foreign trade made spot metal very
scarce. Secondary metals not desired
for these purposes were generally
available for domestic uses when vir-
gin metal could not be purchased for
prompt delivery. The incentive of
high prices caused all metal wastes to
be more carefully saved, segregated,
and refined. Many manufacturers who
had considered virgin metals only as
suitable for their needs found that
they could use considerable scrap pro-
vided they selected suitable material
and used good judgment In its treat
ment.
The increased output of secondary
tin, lead, and aluminium, says a state
ment issued by the United States
geological survey, was normally to be
expected under the improved cOndi-
tions of business, and the proportion
ally larger increase in the recOveries
of zinc, copper, and antimony were
due in part to the foreign demand for
pig metal or for manufactured goods
containing the metals named.
