SAVED TWO FAMOUS PICTURES
Old Masters Taken by British Officer
From the Ruins of Ypres
Cathedral.

The king of the Belgians will shortly
have returned to him two famous pic
lures which were rescued, four years
ago, from Ypres cathedral. 1t ap-
pears that during the bombardment of
Ypres in 1915 young British artil-
lery officer noticed inside the cathe-
draI, which was being heavily shelled,
that the only things not shattered by
German fire were two large Flemish
masters, dated 1900, hanging some 20
feet high on the walls. How to get
them and save them for Belgium was
the question which Immediately pre-
sented itself. The officer called two
private soldiers to help him, and with
the aid of some long gas pipes which
had been blown down by the German
fire, and two large hooks, the pictures
were lowered to the ground. The Of
ficer, Lieutenant Daniels, r. A., then
cut the pictures out of their frames
and put them in large sack, which he
used for a time as a bed. In the end
he took them to London, where, with
the approval of the Belgian minister,
they have been placed on exhibition
prior to being returned to King Albert
at Brussels.

the spring of 1917, were $50 to $50 a
month and board. In 1918 and 1919 the
rate jumped to $50 to $65 month, and
in some instances as high as $75 or
$50 has been paid. Just now, because
Maine is pretty we'll stocked, the de-
mand for labor and the price show
declining tendency. But in the United
States as a whole the supply of wood
is short of the demand, and there
seems to be no prospect Of lower
prices either Of labor or product.
One operator in Maine, a Massa-
chusetts man, who got into the lum-
ber business through his love Of ma
ture, cut last year on Molunceus and
the east branch of the Penobscot
10000 cords, or 100000 feet, Of pulp
wood and 100000 feet Of long logs,
and will cut this year 10000 cords, or
100000 feet Of pulp wood, employ
ing COG men at $62 a month and
board ox FOR piece work, $3.50 to $3.75

The common impression is that all
wood pulp is made into paper and
that the increased demand for news
print alone is responsible for the oe-
nudation of our forest lands. It is
true that most of the pulp goes to
satisfy the appetite Of the printing
presses, but there have been devel-
oped in recent years many and varf-
GUS other uses for the fiber of the
spruce and poplar. Innumerable
articles are now made of wood pulp
doors, dishes, buttons, boards, boxes,
pie plates by the million, trunks and
car wheels, and milady who parades
the avenue, proud of her gown OF
tricolette, may be surprised to learn
that in that silken fabric is woven
the fiber of the spruce-that she owes
something Of the luster and durable
texture Of her finery to the fragrant

NEW EYELIDS MADE FROM LEG
Operation Restores Sight Of Maine
Man Injured Forty-SeVen
Years Ago.

Bangor, Me.-Forty-seven years
without closing his eyes, then period
of total blindness, followed by COM
plete restoration of sight, this is the
experience of John Randolph Watson
Of the town of Standish.
Mr.. Watson was photographer in
Indianola, and in 1856 an explosion of
chemicals burned away his eyelids, al
though the sight was not affected. But
with unprotected eyes he continued
for nearly half a century, three years
Of the period being spent in alaska,
where the severity of the climate
caused cataracts to form on both eyes
and results in loss of sight.
He went to Philadelphia later, where
he formerly lived for time, and was
at the Hahnemann hospital, and by
grating flesh from his leg he got a
new set of eyelids. The success of the
operation is now assured. The cata-
racts were removed and the sight has
been restored.

vermin Adds to Cost
of Producing Pork

Washington, D. C.-Lice add
cent a pound to the cost Of
producing pork. This has been
found in tests just completed
at the experiment farm of the
United States department of
agriculture at Beltsville, Md.
Twenty-four lousy hogs were
secured and divided into two
lots as nearly equal as to quality
of animals as possible.
The two lots were managed
and fed the same way with the
exception that one lot was treat
ed to prevent lice. The animals
were weighed at regular inter
walls and at the end of the fat
tening period it was found that
the hogs infested with lice cost
a cent a pound more to fatten
than those which were free Of
the troublesome pest.
AuC O1lCldlS VI IllO U0pdTL-
ment who had charge Of this ex-
pertinent give an interesting
side light in connection with
securing the lousy animals.
They communicated with some
of the departments field men,
asking them to locate lousy
hogs. 1t was some time before
a reply was received to this
surprising order. After the
lousy hogs were purchased the
owner learned why, and he i'm
mediately built a dipping vat
and began to treat the animals
to prevent lice.

Logging used to begin in November
and end in March. Now it goes on at
all seasons.
Saw Mills Small Factor.
The saw mill is a small factor In
the great game Of turning Maine for
ests into money. The long log
ger, that is, he who cuts for sawmills,
Is almost extinct. The big sawmill
drives are seen no more. This is the
day of the 'four-foot stuff' which
makes up most of the drives and gives
business to the railroads. The pulp
mills eat up so many millions of feet
of spruce that speculative and statis-
tical persons wonder where it all
comes from and how long the supply
will last. SO far as Maine is con-
cerned there need be no fear of wood
famine very soon, but at the pres
ent rate of cutting there is bound to
be scarcity in the United States with
in few years that will send prices
kiting.
The present annual consumption Of
pulp wood east of the Mississippi
river is about 100000 cords, or $780,
100000 feet. That is using wood at
reckless rate, even with big supply
in sight. But there is a greater drain
upon our wood resources. Fire takes
more than the mills. The eastern
slope Of the Rockies is rs per cent
burnt land, and the timber map Is
splotched with great black patches all
the way from Puget sound to the
Penobscot. In some parts Of Maine
the burnt area greatly exceeds the
green. In the South the pine and the
cypress are being cut away at an
alarming rate, and in the Pacific states
the Douglas fir and other grOwths are
being turned into money as rapidly
as possible.
To make up for all the cutting, lit
tie is being done. Scientific forestry
is making some progress, but as yet
efforts in that direction are as nothing
compared with tree slaughter. Re
forestation is being carried on in some
states, as on a small scale, in Maine,
but a tree doesn't grow in day. A

1t is not altogether a question Of
wood supply, either. AS the forests go

Advance in Pulp Wood Values.
The advance in pulp wood values
within 80 months has been remark
able, even for the times. Before the
entrance of this country into the. war,
peeled wood delivered in the mill yard
in Maine was worth SO a cord.
Now the price is $18 in Maine and in
New York state $26 a cord. This ad-
vance is due in part to higher wages
and in part 10 little profiteering or a
turn of thrift by the land owners.
