ADOBE AS BUILDING MATERIAL
Experiments Have Shown, II Is
Claimed, Durability Of This Old
and inexpensive Material.

Adobe, the Oldest known building
material In southern California, is due
for a revival, according to John W..
Chard, Santa Barbara architect. He
asserts that II properly prepared this
native material can be used to very
considerably cut the cost. of building.
Experiments" says Mr.. Chard,
''have shown that adobe is the least
affected by changes Of temperature
among all the building materials. Tests
show that adobe bricks register no
more than six degrees difference be-
tween February cold and extreme Sep
TENDER heat. As building material 1t
is far stronger than is generally sup
posed, and develops a compressive
strength as high as 400 pounds to the
square inch.
"The proper plaster protection will
insure an adobe wall against deterioria-
ton. Hard cement plaster thorough
ly anchored into the walls and treat
ed with an all-mineral water-proofing
compound will give adobe walls great
durability.
"Adobe Is wet soil mixed with
straw. cast into molds Of required size
and left TO dry in the sun. AS build
ing material adobe Is everlasting,
soundproof, nonconductive and fire.

We lead the world with 81 per cent
of all the iron and 35 per cent of all

cent Of all the petroleum.
Copper is the great American metal
We produce 50 per cent of the entire
worlds yield of that invaluable sub
stance. OF lead we produce 40 per
cent and of zinc 80 per cent.
England Is away ahead of us where
gold Is concerned. We produce only %
per cent of this precious stuff, where
as Great Britain's output amounts to
63 per cent.
On the other hand, we claim 80 per

DIED TO ESCAPE SUFFERING
Crew Of Crippled Hun Submarine Took
the Easiest Way Out OF Hope
less Situation.

Admiral Sims in the Worlds Work
tells Of the efficiency of the subchaser
listening devices. Once when subma-
rine had been injured and was lying
on the bottom in shallow water grew
some thing was heard. They listened
for hours, without hearing sound !;
but about 5 o'clock In the afternoon o
sharp piercing noise came ringing over
the wires. 1t was sound that made
the listeners blood run cold.
Only one thing in the world could
make q sound like that. 1t was the
crack of a revolver. The first report
had hardly stilled when another shot
was heard; and then there were more
In rapid succession. The listeners on
two different chasers heard these pis-
toll cracks and counted them; the re-
ports which these men independently
made agreed In every detail. In all
25 shots came from the bottom of the
sea. AS there were from IS to 80 men
In the submarine crew the meaning
was all too evident. The larger part
of the officers and men, finding them
selves shut tightly In their coffin Of
steel, had resorted to that escape
which was not uncommonly availed Of
by German submarine crews In this
hideous war. Nearly all Of them had
committed suicide.

APOLOGIES TO BR'ER RABBIT
Field Mouse, Not Bunny, IL Anathemar
tiled GirdIer Of Trees, According
to Eastern Expert.

An official Of the state fish and game
commission informs us that we are I'M
Just to the rabbit In ascribing to him
all the girdling of fruit trees which has
been going on in these parts lately. Our
informant says, observes writer In
the Ohio State Journal, that the field
mouse Is responsible for more than so
per cent of this damage andswe hasten
to tender our sincere apologies to the
rabbit. whose feelings we would not
hurt for the world, and are quick to
give the guilty field mouse his just
share Of censure.
Field mice, 1t seems have the indie
feasible habit of burrowing among the
roots Of small fruit trees In the fall,
following out warm place, as field
mice estimate warmth, and spending
the winter there. When they get hun
CRY and nothing else is available, they
shin up little way and eat the bark
of the tree cunningly making tooth
marks almost exactly like rabbits and
thus throwing editors and other ex-
perts off the scent. The rabbits are
not wholly without sin, but 40 per
cent sinner averages up fairly well
with the rest of US. Moreover, the
rabbit may easily be foiled in his
lapses from grace by placing piece of
tar paper about two feet in height, or
q piece of wire netting around the base
of each young fruit tree. Perhaps this
expedient, like other prohibitory meas
ures, does not build character in the
rabbit, but it does in the orchardist.
Nothing, we understand. can be done
about the field mice unless one stays
at the foot of the tree and catches
them. They are lost In sin.

The FLAG OF the MayfIower.

The proposed celebration in Man
chester of the tercentenary Of the

1t of interest to direct attention to a
curious anachronism. In the magnifi-
cent fresco in the palace of Westmin-
ster, in which the departure of the
Pilgrim Fathers is depicted, the May
flower is flying a Union Jack. The
Union Jack, as every one knows, did
not come into existence till the pass
ing of the first Act of Union in 1900
one hundred and eighty years after
the departure Of the Pilgrim fathers.

Much Sugar In This MarIe.

The hard or sugar maple is by far
the most important Of all the naples.
The lumber is valuable for many pur-
poses, but the unique thing about the
tree is the abundance of sweet sap
which It furnishes, says the American
Forestry Magazine of Washington.
While all the naples have sweet sap
none Of the others are so important as
sugar producers. This was appreclat-
ed in early times and century and

of the time were attempting to lure
