UNHURT BY LONG IMMERSION
Articles SaIvaged From Sunken Ships
Found to Be Practically Unframed
by Action of Water.

Captain Reginald Humphreys of the
British navy in speaking of the action
of the sea on vessels and merchandise
says:
wooden ships, after being sunk,
arc rapidly covered with a marine
growth which forms a sort of lime
deposit and preserves the wood in some
cases for several centuries. We are
informed by one of the underwriters
of New York who had charge of the
salvage operation on the Oregon that
bicycles were brought up from her hold
that had been in the water over four
months and yet looked as bright as
when they went down; also silks the
outer folds of which only were In
jured.
Some wines that had been recov-
cred from a vessel sunk about fifty
years brought $75 a bottle at auction.
Gold and some other metals, glass and
precious stones are never affected.

to the world by means of the ~salvagint

AMERICAS LOW PERCENTAGE
Only IL Per Cent of Present Mileage
is improved-LlttIe Built for
Heavy Traffic.

The American public, though fast
becoming awakened to advantages to
be enjoyed by improved roads, may
not realize the immense effort which
must be exerted to catch up with Eu-
ropean nations highway systems.
When Germany entered the war in
1914, Prussia alone had $4,000 miles
of hard-surfaced highways. In pro
portion to the size of the two coun-
tries, the United States would need
to have 1,611.9 14 miles. The present
road mileage in the states is 2,5OO, 900,
of which - per cent is improved and
only one-quarter of 1 per cent con
structed for heavy traffic.

NeutraIized Poison Gas.

"Neutralizing ointment" is one Of
the latest war inventions. 1t is pub
licly revealed in an official description
of the protective devices against gas
attacks issued to u troops. The
mask, with Its contained chemicals
for n~eutralizing any poisonous fumes
that creep in is familiar. But n So
called gas is a liquid and because Of
its blistering effect the soldiers have
given 1t the name Of mustard gas"
When an area is 6renched with the
stuff the menac may persist for many
days. The peril is not from the liquid
itself. Mustard gas burns through the
clothing, and makes painful wounds
where the flesh is reached. The newly
invented ointment must apparently be
rubbed all over the body, as well as on
face and hands, to prepare the sol
der when the enemy's bursting shells
are spraying this horrible gas about.

GETTING RID OF ROAD TAR
Must Be Attended To Promptly or
UnsishtIy streaks and Spots Will
Be the Result.

Unless washed off promptly with
soap and water, road tar will quickly
harden on a car, leaving unsightly
streaks and spots. There are several
good ways of removing 1t, however.
One consists in the application of but
ter or oleomargarine which will soften
the tar without injuring the varnish
Another good solvent is cocoa butter,
which is used in the theatrical profess
sion for removing grease paint. This
can be purchased at drug stores, and
is q harmless solvent of all kinds Of
oil and grease, as well as tar.

Dimensions of Drum.

loads.
Dimensions of Drum.
A solid piece Of oak, about eight
inches in diameter should be turned
out in the shape of a cylinder five
inches long. For large cars this may
be increased in size. Surmount the
drum with u disk, somewhat larger, to
act as a rim, and bore a hole in the
opposite end of the drum just large
enough to fit snugly over the hub of
the wheel. Then make three arms of
strap iron, large enough to reach a
good way up the spokes of the wheel.
Bolt these at equal distances around
the circumference of the drum, setting
them in flush.
How Hosting Is Done.
To operate, back the car up until II
Is near the tackle, and jack up the
wheel upon which the drum has been
placed. The other wheel must be
blocked so that 1t will not turn. Give
the hauling rope a few turns about
the drum, then apply the power to the
wheel and at the same time pull easily
upon the rope, keeping 1t taut on the
drum. In this way heavy loads can be
raised that would otherwise be beyond
the ability of one man to handle.-L. B,

Mechanics Magazine.

ject is to prepare a record of all
men, the units to which they were at
tached, the date of their entrance TO
the service and all matter that will
be necessary to prepare the proper
historic record for the city.
The registration will also afford the
celebration committee a complete
record of the men SO that they may
be properly notified of the welcome
home celebration n may be invited
to participate in the festivities on
that occasion.
The registration committee OF the
welcome home celebration has an adj
vertisement inserted in the EVEN
ING NEWS containing a blank, by
which men ma be registered with
the committee. Soldiers, sailors ma
rines or members of their families
are requested to fill in these blanks
and send them to the city hall, or to
