uslna Ferns as PreservatIve.

II vas discovered some years ago
that the leaves OF the fern plant.
which grows almost everywhere, are
excellent preservatives for packing
food, fruit and even meat. In the Isle
of Man fresh behring's are packed in
ferns and arrive on the market in as
fresh condition as when they were
shipped. A number of experiments
have demonstrated that potatoes
packed in ferns keep many months
longer than those packed in straw. In
fact, potatoes packed in fern leaves
are as fresh in the springtime as when
they were first dug in the winter.

Two and-a-HaIf-P Pound lnstru-
ment Part of Their Regu-
lar Equipment.
USEFUL IN REPORTING FIRES
PatroImen Can Tap Forest Service
Telephone Lines and Quickly Get
In Touch With Headquarters
of a Supervisor.

Washington.-A portable telephone,
pounds, the invention of a forest
officer, r. B. Adams of Missoula, Mont,
viii be part of the regular equipment
of patrolmen on the national forests
the coming field season. This instru-
ment is regarded as great improve
ment over the set formerly used, which
weighed ten pounds.
It is said that fieldman equipped
with this telephone, few yards OF
light emergency wire. and a short
piece of heavy wire to make the
ground connection can cut in any.
where along the more than 10000
miles of forest service telephone lines
and get in touch with the headquar-
ters of supervisor or district ranger.
To talk, one end of the emergency
wire is thrown over the telephone line,
the two ends are connected to the
portable instrument, and the instru-
ment is connected to the ground wire,
the end of which must be thrust into
the damp earth or in water. Contact
with the live wire is made possible by
removal Of the insulation from few
inches Of the emergency wire.
The Adams instrument does not
ring the bell of the receiving tele-
phone, hut instead causes screech-
ing sound from a small megaphone-
shaped apparatus descriptively known
as 'howler." This instrument is in
stalled at the ranger station telephone
and is said to give effective notice that
someone is on the wire If the field
man needs to talk with someone else.
where on the line, the ranger station
instrument can be used to ring up the
person wanted, when the conversation
can be carried on.
Forest officers say that these port
able phones are especially valuable in
reporting fires and other emergencies
with the least possible delay, and also
in sending instructions to fieldmen
and keeping the district rangers In
formed as to the progress of work go
ing on in the field, thus supplementing
the regular telephone sets installed
at lookout points, ranger stations, and
at convenient intervals along forest
service roads and trails.

FINDS BAG OF GOLD ON ROAD
Owner Sought for Treasure Picked Up
on Wisconsin Highway by a
Farmer.

Sheyboygan, Wis.-Richard Lutte, a
farmer of Centerville, this county,
while coming to Sheyboygan found q
large bag of gold on the road to Pigeon
Hill, one mile south Of Sheyboygan.
Fearing the money had been stolen
and that he might be accused of taking
some. he took the bag to a local bank
without opening it. When opened II
was found to contain several hundred
dollars in gold. No such amount has
been obtained from the local banks
and it is believed the money was
boarded by farmer who lost it while
coming to the city or that it had been
stolen and was lost by the thief.
