SEEK CURE or ELEcTROLYsIS
Government Experts Aid in Installing
System TO Prevent Damage to
Metal Structures.

The damage done annually to under
ground pipes, cables and other metal
structures in this country by electricity
sis amounts TO many millions of dol
lars. There are very few water, gas
or lead cable systems that are not
more or less subject at some points 10
eIectrOlytic damage from stray cur
rents. Moreover, the loss does not
consist merely in the shortening or
the life Of such structures; eiectroly-
tic damage is one of the causes OF the
Ieakage of water and gas from diStrib-
ution systems. The failure OF such
systems on account Of electrolyuc ac-
ton may also involve various dangers
IN the life and health of human beings.
According to the bureau of standards
more than % separate and distinct
methods of dealing with the electroly-
sis problem have been proposed anu
eyDerimented with from time 10 tlIne'
Some of these methods are useless or
even harmful. The bureau or stanu-
ards has been studying the subject Oh
electrolysis mitigation for the last SIN
wears. and has aided in installing COM
plete mitigative systems in seVerai
cities. The bureau makes somewhat
detailed tests in each Of these places
about once year TO make sure thai
the protective systems are being prop
erIy maintained. An extended series
of experiments has recently been un
dertaken in the city Of Springfield
Mass. with the so-called three wire
system of electric railway operation
system which offers considerable
promise for the mitigation of electroly

NATIVE BULBS
By LIMA r. ROSE.

You would not think one could nhu
enough native bulbs TO stock garuen'
but every year 1 discover some NE"
ones and have high hope for future re-
searches.
The first thing that opens In my
wild garden Is the iris. Our mouhlaln
sides are covered with II in the spring,
and the flower stalks on the mountain
are seldom more than seven or eight
inches high, but mine are much taller
and the purple flowers very mucn
larger.
DoC-tooth violet comes next. and Is
one of nv prime favOrites. l departed
from my usual rule and planted the
bulbs in a large jar, which was sunk
/ in the earth and filed with a rich soil
/ of creek loan, leaf mold and fertilizer
from the barn. The flowers are much
larger than those 1 found growing by
the brook two years ago. The leaves
are very handsome, rich, dark green
mottled curiOusly with dark brown
and white. The flower is clear lemon
yellow tinge, with recurved petals
about two inches long and dark brown
stamens.
Besides white and yellow waite
lilies, 1 have two others that are ma
tives. One, a delicate little whit
beauty, that Is called the fairy lily,
the other larger, blooming in earl
spring and sending up leafless fiOwe
stalk. 1t is also white in color.
NY wake-robins and lady slipper
also come on early, in colors pinl
white. pale yellow and rich purple.
