Waste Bark Replaces R,os.

A method of using waste hemlock
tan bark to replace partially expensive
rag stock In the manufacture Of felt
roofing has been developed at the for
est products laboratory at Madison.
Wis.,. and Is now being used CONNER
eially by cooperating mills. according
TO an announcement made by the for
est service. II Is stated that In these
mills from 20 to 50 per cent Of the
rags is being replaced by waste bark
and that the quality of the finished
product Is equal to that manufactured
solely from rags. Members of the for
est service who have been conducting
the experiments say that the utiliza-
tion of the bark will make 1t possible
to effect considerable saving In the
manufacture of felt roofing.

Efforts Of Military Men Of All coun.
tries Have Long Been Bent In
That Direction.

Both the French and the German
armies have been trying for years to
discover how to make a gun that shall
be not merely noiseless, but that shall
emit no flash. For, as Nicolas Flannel
says In La Nature, after dark two OBJ
servers by watching the time can with
accurate thermometers having lumi-
nous dlals discover precisely the posi-
ton of an enemy battery, or three OBJ
servers, regardless OF time, can do the
same by grouping their observations.
And this merely by the fash Of the
guns.
German inventors succeeded by add
ing a minute quantity of alkaline salts
TO their powder In diminishing the
flash. but they found that In proportion
as they suppressed the flash they In
creased the smoke. Other substances
added to the powder for this purpose
have been vaseline, alkaline soaps,
oxalates and resinates of soda, barium
and aluminium. None was successful.
The French tackled the problem as
mechanical rather than n chemical
one. A gun is really only an explosion
motor and It seemed that there ought
to be way Of muffiing Its sounds and
Its flash as those of other such motors
are muffied. 1t was not until 1909.
when Maxim invented his silencer.
that the problem seemed on the way
to solution. Many other silencers,
most of which quench much of the
light as well as the sound, have been
invented since then, but none is prac-
teal success In warfare, either from
the point of view of sound or Of light.

AMENDED POSTAL
BILL IS PASSED
House Will Call for Confer
ence on Senate's Pro-
hibition Amendments.

Washington, Feb. l7-With its add
ed drastic prohibition legislative pro-
visions, the annual postoffice appro-
priation bill carrying 1922, 600, 900 was
passed by the senate to-day after a
week Of vigorous debate. 1t was sent
back to the house, which will ask for
conference on the amendments.
The senate wrote into the bill pro-
vision making il a criminal offense to
ship liquor into states which prohibit
its manufacture and sale, thus nullify-
ing the statutes of prohibition state
permitting the Importation of limited
quantities Of liquor for personal con-
sumption.
Another provision would bar from
the mails letters, postal cards, circulars
newspapers and other publications
containing liquor advertising in states
having laws against such advertising;
violation to be punishable by hne
not to exceed $1,000 or Imprisonment
not to exceed six months for the first
offen$s
An amendment was added making
it mandatory for the postmaster GER
eral to renew for another year pneu-
matte tube mail contracts in large
cities and providing for a committee
investigate the tubes with view TO
their purchase.
Determined efforts made by the
post office committee to increase the
second class mail rates and to estab-
lish one cent postage on drop letters
were made and bitterly contested and
the proposals finally were throwL out
on a point of order.

GOLD FROM FLOOR TO CEILING
Wonderful Accumulation Of Yellow
Metal Stored in the Assay Office
at New York.

The New York assay Office is now
the most important institution of the
kind in the world. There is more gold
stacked up in boxes and kegs, in bricks
and bars, in bins and bags, than ever
before in the history of the country.
The assay Office, says the New York
World, is the purchasing agent for the
government. Foreign gold, consigned
to banks and trust companies, is
"cashed in" through the assay Office.
British spvereigns, packed In boxes
are piled as high as the ceiling. Dodg-
ing that golden bulwark, the visitor Is
likely to bump into the cases full of
French twenty francs that are piled on
the other side. Turning to reach the
elevator, he skirts row of gold bars,
packed five ten-thousand-dollar bars
to the keg, In sawdust, and stretching
along the wall twice the height Of o
man.
All gold. of whatever nature, is melt
ed and refined to a fineness of 999.5.
or finer. and cast into bars of standard
sizes. The value of each bar Is ex-
pressed In United States dollars and
cents. Every bar and coin has to stand
the acid test.
There are Is big melting pots at
work on gold exclusively. 1t seems al
most brutal to see the workmen scoop
shovelfuls of gold pieces from metal
boxes and dump them, one after an
other. into Il pot until 1t is full. and
then clap on the lid and walt for them
to stew!

Arkansas To Have Illiteracy
Commission.

The Arkansas Legislature has just
passed a law creating an Illiteracy
Commission. This was done upon
the recommendation of the new Gov
ernor, CHI. Brough, who wasa prom
inent educator in the State before
he became Governor. He asked for
an Illiteracy Commission with the
purpose Of Graduating illiteracy from
the State during the four years OF hlS
administration. The idea, and the aim
of an Illiteracy Commission is one
taken from Kentucky. Kentucky has
many Commissions, but she only has
one that she originated, and gave to
the other States for model her Ill
iteracy Commission. II is source OF
pride to see how rapidly other States
are following her.
