AirpIane Needs Strong Wood.

A modern airplane propeller is one
of the strongest and most perfect
products of mans handicraft.
Some airplane engines run at LOO
revolutions q minute and can be geare6
up to 1000. An engine of this power
would use a nine-fOot-six-inch propel.
Ter and the speed of the blade ends
would be i'm the neighborhOod of COG
miles an hour.
Revolving at this terrific rate, the
slightest imperfection I'm the WOOD
from which the propellers are made
would tend to disrupt them and Gauss
them to fly to pieces.
For this reason only the best and
hardest wood from the heart of The
tree is used for propeller blades II
takes 1000 feet Of timber in the rough
to furnish 200 feet of wood GOOD
enough for propellers.
Black walnut is the very best Kind
OF wood for propeller blades, for be-
sides being immensely tough. IL does
not splinter when hit by a projectile.
Next in the order named, come mahog-
any, white oak, ash, maple. birch and
cherry.

No AIimony From Soldiers.

The supreme court of New York
state has no power TO enforce an or
der for alimony against a soldier In
the United States army, declared JUS
tice Asphalt in the supreme court In
Brooklyn in the case of Mrs. Florence
Merriman against Rapley p. Merriman.
private. 1t is the first decision of
its kind here. Justice Asphalt gave
the opinion in acting upon the request
OF Mrs. Merriman's attorney, who de-
manded Merriman be forced TO pay
$40 on the first business day of each
month. ut is obvious that the defend
ant could not comply with n direction
that he pay $40 on the first business
day of each month" said the justice.
when $40 Is more than the rate OF
pay of his grade. and the time Of pay
ment of soldier is necessarily very
irregular."-Ne York Evening Sun.

Underground Railroad and
Useless Caucus Room, Two
Extravagances at Capitol.

One OF the curiosities of the capitol
Is the miniature railroad that connects
the senate, via underground passage,
with the senate Office building, relates
a Washington correspondent. The cars
Of this railroad operate on q monorail
by electricity.
The road is about 150 yards In length
and has a double track. When one
car Is at one end of tne track the other
car is at the other end, and vice versa.
The railroad was intended originally to
aid senators in making speed from
their offices TO the senate chamber. Roll
calls do not require much time in the
senate and there is danger that if a
roll call is asked when a senator is in
his office he will miss the roll call I'M
less he uses the electric car. That
saves him about ten or fifteen seconds
time.
The road is open TO the public ar,d
1t costs nothing to ride AS a conse-
quence messenger boys, clerks and
janitors use the railroad freely, while
senators, except on days when the
weather is inclement, prefer to walk in
the open air between their Offices and
the senate chamber.
Besides the initial equipment, the
road entails an expense of about $50
weekly for the employ of two opera
tors and probably half that amount for
electricity. This would make yearly
expense of $1,000 as q very conserva-
tive estimate. AS matter of fact the
railroad probably costs more like $4,000
or $1,000 a year.
The senate has another extravaganza
that is almost an eyesore. This is the
palatial caucus room that cost no one
knows how many thousands of dollars
when the senate office building was
constructed. The room is finished
throughout in marble and has immense
crystal chandeliers. 1t has the largest
seating capacity of any room in the
capitol except the hall of the house
and the senate chamber.
Yet the acoustic properties of the
room are so bad that it is never used,
and it stands there as an expensive
monument to some ones mistake In
planning the senate Office building. OF
course q person would ordinarily pay
no attention to such a thing as bad
acoustic properties, but in this room it
cannot help but be noticed.

FROM CABBAGES TO KINGS
Writer Impressed by Accumulation Of
Subject Matter of Every Descrip-
tion In Print.

Perhaps the most valuable instru-
press, writes Bruce Cummings I'm Sci
ence Progress. No sooner is an event
over than 1t is reported In the daily
press, and the newspaper preserved
in the British museum for all time.
Within the sacred rOtunda of the
British museum reading room may be
perused the novels of Charles Garvice,

pedia of the Emperor Kiang-hi I'm 5000

pets, ships, sticks, sealing wax, cab
bages, kings, cosmetics, Kant A very
thick volume indeed was published
last year upon the thorax of a field
cricket. 1t would require learned
man TO catalogue the literature that
deals with such comparatively trivial
subjects as the history of the Punch
and-Judy show, or the history of play
ing cards.
At the present rapid rate of accumu-
lation the time must come when the
British museum, thousands of years
hence, will occupy an area as large as
London. and the Encyclopedia Britain
MICA be housed in building as big as
the Crystal palace; an accumulation
of learning TO make Aristotle and

In regard TO the question as to how
TO get rid of small ants in a kitchen,
the Indiana state entomologist says !:
Zone Of the best remedies is to make
a sirup~of four ounces of sugar to one
half pint of water, and after this strip
has boiled add one ounce of sodium
fiuoride. Moisten sponge with this
and put ii in n can that has some
holes punched in 1T; then place this
where the ants are most numerous.
The idea is 10 get the ants feeding on
this and in that way carry some back
10 their nest. IL they stop feeding.
move the can back a short distance
and they will again start eating. The
can should be kept moist with this
strip ard the ants will soon disap-
pear"
