Railway ties used in southern Russia are
salted for preservation. The discovery
of the efficacy of salt for the purpose was
made accidentally some 80 years ago. The
telegraph poles of Sebastopol soon rotted
below the ground, and one of the workmen
tried the experiment of putting quantity
of salt into the hole prepared for the re-
ception of the base of the pole. The wood
lasted FIVE times as long as usual and the
experiment was repeated and extended to
railway ties.

the Earth, the temperature would
never rise above the freezing point.
This however, seems to be refuted by
the fact that the polar SHOWS melt as
is evidenced by the disappearance of
the polar cap during the summer sea-

infer that some peculiar element in
the air or some mineral substance in
the body of the planet produces the
effect of raising the temperature. An
other difficulty would be the rarified
