shells over our way and in the bargain
mixed in some with gas in them. The

We start to look for cover of some kind

Clothes From Peat.

A very interesting and economical
ly valuable invention, in the field of
substitute Materials" has recently
seen the light in Sweden. A process
has now been perfected there for the
manufacture of a strong textile ma
teriaI from peat fiber. The inventor
began to study this process 20 years
ago, but, so far his methods were ham
pered by the drawback that the pro
cess Of manufacture was much too
costly; he was therefore unable to
turn his idea to any practical use. In
duced by the war, however, he resumed
his experiments, and has now ut last
succeeded In making dress material
from peat on large scale. These
peat fabrics are somewhat cheaper
than those of artificial wool, and they
Are said to be of great durability. A
factory for the working of the process
wholesale is about to be erected.

TREES NOISE LIKE WHISPER
NeedIeIike Points of Stiff Leaves
Scratching Upon Each other Re-
sponsibe for Odd Chorus.

Henry Heinelle of Santa Monica,
who two years ago sent biologists on
a hike to the wilds of she Malibu by
reporting the discovery of a nest of
dunes of singing sands, has again
caused nature students to sit up and
take notice, according to the Los An
geleS Times.
This time he reports the discovery
of clump of whispering trees. The
find was made far up in Los Tunas
canyon, where the county surveyors
gang recently ran lines for a mountain
road to connect the seashore via this
scenic canyon with the Topanga at its
junction with Garrapatas.
The mysterious trees are near the
BUTTON of the canyon, not far from
the Weber ranch. At this point the
wagon road is hung on the side of the
canyon, far above the trickling stream.
Persons passing along the road at this
point are invariably attracted by what
sounds to them as if somebody in the
underground were talking in a sub
dued voice.
Shouts failing to bring a response,
Mr., Heinelle, after listening to the sup
posed whispered conversation, left the
trail and descended the precipitous
side of the mountain, expecting to dis
cover some hunter who had fallen and
injured himself. But there was no
evidence of life anywhere, although
the air was filed with indistinguish-
able whisperings.
The sound always came from the
same general direction, and the will
o'-the-wisp directed him to a clump Of
scrubby trees, much in appearance like
the English holly-and then the mys-
terry was solved. The Aeedle-like points
of thousands of these stiff leaves,
swayed by the breeze blowing up the
canyon, scratching upon the surface
of other leaves was responsible for
the chorus.
The noise made by one leaf was so
slight that it could not be heard a foot
away, but the thousands grating con-
tinuously together kept the sound vi
brations in such constant motion that
their sigh was heard above the ordi-
nary rustling of the leaves of the chap
arral.
