Much Timber Wasted.

Fifteen per cent of the timber cut
In the United States is wasted every
year and government experts are en-
gagged in a number of experiments to
determine to what extent a huge
money loss to the country may be pre-
vented by utilizing the waste.
One of the interesting experiments
under way is the utilization of saw
dust in the manufacture of alcohol.
These tests have hardly more than
passed an experimental stage, but
technical men are optimistic as to the
ultimate success of the process. An
other interesting possibility is the
utilization of hydrolyzed sawdust as a
carbohydrate cattle food.
The use of wood for producer gas,
according to officials, deserves more
extended introduction in industrial
plants. DR.. E. z. Pratt, chief of the
bureau of domestic and foreign COM
MERGE, in a report to Secretary Red
field said that the manufacture of
plastics from wood, as well as the
manufacture of wood flour, has not
been developed in the United States,
and that European nations are far in
advance of this country in the utiliza'
ton of such by-products.

which, at this latitude is covered with
SHOWS for many months of the year;
it is however. the most practicable
place at which to locate the govern
ment headquarters and to establish
small village consisting of a few
stores and supply stations. 1t is not
however, at the rim of the crater and
therefore could never, under any cir
cumstances, be a place where tourists
would be content to stay, for there is
ever the mountain top with the lake
beyond reckoning the traveller to the
goal of his pilgrimage.
The establishment of the village on
the rim of the crater overlooking the
lake would be ideal, but in certain sea-
sons the SHOWS are so late in melting
that tourists might never reach the vii
lage in the season of their travel. The
solution, therefore, appears to be a
double village or two stations, one at
the lower level which opens several
weeks before the upper levels, and one
at the rim of the crater. By this
means tourists may arrive at the lower
station, where accommodations may
be found, and proceed to the rim of
the crater by foot when the road is
not passable for vehicular traffic. At
the rim of the crater should be estab-
lished a secondary village in which
sleeping and eating accommodations
are provided, together with stores and
studios which might supply the wants
Of the tourists.
Sailing and Fishing on the Lake.
The desire of the tourist upon arriv-
ing at Crater Lake National park is to
reach the rim of the crater at the
earliest time Once there, his all-con-
suming desire is to descend to the
surface of the lake and to sail upon

and will leave as lasting an impress
sion as Crater lake.
Crater Lake National park is in the
Cascade range of mountains in south
ern Oregon. The lake is circular in
form and about six miles in diameter.
It's surface is at an elevation of GIT
feet above sea level and is an average
of 1000 feet below the crest of the
surrounding crater rim. The great
cavity in this mountain was once the
crater of an active volcano which, at
one time or another collapsed, leaving
a receptacle several hundred feet in
depth which is now filed with spar
king blue water, clear as a diamond
and of blue that defies description.
Arranging for Tourists.
To make this unique gem of ex-
quisite beauty available to the travel
ing public has been no simple problem.
The park is traversed by roads from
the west and from the south and the
approaches are along easy gradients
and through wonderful forests and
alongside beautiful canyons, but upon
a closer approach to the ascent to the
rim of the crater the difficulty of
reaching the lake becomes more and
more serious. and the problems in
volved in establishing proper accom-
modations for the tourists and main
tanning them throughout the season
becomes more and more complex.
The superintendent house is To-
Gated several miles from the rim of
the crater and at an elevation of 5000
feet above sea level. This altitude
while more than 1000 feet below the
rim of the crater from which a view
of the lake can be had. is still one

Bullets Which Trail Fire.

After many months experimenting,
J. A. Sambrook of Ellesmere Port,
has invented a bullet which
travels at a tremendous velocity and
emits a trail of sparks, which, he
asserts, will pass through a Zeppelin
like a comet through space and in
stantly blow it up.
The invention consists of an ordi-
nary-sized bullet charged with a spe-
cial preparation which ignites with its
passage through the air.
The bullet can be fired from an ordi-
nary rifle, and is easily adaptable to
aircraft and machine guns.

this bluest sea about the phantom
island and in the shadow of the jagged
rim. After he goes this far, his next
consuming desire will be to hook the
glorious trout which may be seen
swimming in the depths beneath his
boat. A trip of this sort will only fill
him with further longing to encircle
the lake on land around the rim, so
thai he may drink in the sparkling
colors and deeper shadows from all
angles. The problem, therefore, which
confronts the secretary of the interior
is the development of roads and trails
about the lake so that the tourist may
receive full satisfaction, and to do this,
plans have been drawn and work be-
gun on the roads and trails and vii
lage.
Congress has appropriated money,
which is being expended through the
war department. for the construction
of an encircling road to be built
around the crater. This road is under
construction and a material portion of
it has been completed The three en-
trance roads, one from Medford on the
west, one from Klamath Falls on the
south, and one along Sand creek on
the east, have been completed and are
now open to travel. The trail from
the rim of the crater to the lake sur
face indicating the location of the pro-
posed rim village has been construct
ed and will this year be widened and
improved. A lodge or hotel has been
constructed on the rim of the crater
and roads connecting it with the su
perintendent's headquarters at Anna
Spring at the lower level have been
completed

BIT OF REAL POLAND
VILLAGE IN ASIA MINOR HAS AN
INTERESTING HISTORY.
Peopled Many Years Ago by Vet
Grams Of the Crimean War, tho
Community Has Maintained Its
Purity and independence,

Hundreds of miles from Poland, in
Turkish territory, not far from the
Black sea and the Bosporus. there is
Polish village. 1t has been there
for 60 years. But the news of its ex-
istence will come as surprise both
to the world at large and to the Polish
Poles of Poland.
The village was discovered" re-
Gently by a German journalist, the
correspondent of a Berlin newspaper,
who was watching the fighting at the
Dardanelles. He sandwiched in be-
tween his dispatches describing death
and destruction on the Gallipoli PENN
sula an interesting description of this
peaceful and forgotten bit of old Po-
land under the title of "A Polish Is
land"
The village was founded back in the
fifties of the last century during the
Crimean war. Among the Russian sol.
diers fighting in the Crimea against
the British and French and Turks
were some from Russian Poland. OF
these q number were captured by the
Turks and taken to Scutari, opposite
Constantinople, in Asia Minor. There
some Polish noblemen, bitter enemies
of Russia, found these men, and hit
upon the idea of emancipating this
handful of their fellow-countrymen
from the control of Russia Foremost
among these noblemen was Prince
Adam Czartorisky, a very wealthy
man, who, from his own pocket and
out of funds collected by him from
other Poles who hated Russia, pur-
chased lands in Asia Minor from
Turkish owners and there established
the Polish prisoners in a village OF
their own.
On that spot the prisoners and
their descendants have continued to
live to this day. When the German
journalist visited the village he found
a few of the original colonists still liv-
ing. The villagers, he writes, are
genuine Poles, still speaking their ma
tive tongue. The noblemen who
founded the village fetched the wives
of many of the prisoners from Poland
when the village was first started, and
their offspring have intermarried
among themselves, thus preserving
the purity of their race. Not one Of
them, says the German writer, has
married Turk or even learned the
Turkish language that is spoken Oh
every side of this little polish Is
land"
