Nothing Green in Death Valley.

The natural vegetation of Death val
ley is scant and stunted. There is not
green thing that grows there natural
~. The thorny mesquit trees are Of a
yellowish-green tinge; so, too, are the
grease bushes, while the sagebrush Is
either yellowish gray or the color Of
ashes. A little round gmlrd called the
desert apple grows in some Of the cam
yons. 1t turns yellow when ripe and
has thin meat within that is exceed
ingly bitter. The cactus that grows
beyond the valley in abundance is
rare here. In short, the vegetation of
Death valley Is terribly scant, even In
comparison with the Mojave desert.

Form in Warm Climates.

Snowstorms Form In Warm Climates
Potentially snow storms form in
general region of warmth. strange as
1t may seem. The area of low baro-
metric pressure, or storm sea, comes
whtrllng eastward across the Gulf
states and then generally takes
twist northward along the Atlantic
sseaboard. When sufficiently far north
these warm air currents are chilled
and the moisture becomes snow, very
often being borne to the earth by the
back draft of east wind.

Fireproof Timber
Process Patented
by British Firm:

A process has been made public in Eng
land by which timber is made fircproof.
A company has been formed. known as
the Timber Fireproofing Company. which
claims that tho use Of the process will
tend to avoid the risk of fire In houses
built OF wood.
The process known as the oxylene fire.
proofing process consists of submitting
the wood in a closed cylinder to a steam
ing and vacuum treatment, which rc-
moves the air moisture in the pores of the
wood and vaporizcs the sap water. The
wood is then imprcgnated under hydraulic
pressure with a solution of fire-resisting
chemicals, which replace the elements
driven out by the preliminary treatment.
FINALLY tho water OF the solution is dried
off, and tho chemicals in minute crystal
form remain embodied in the fibres.
The effect Of this treatment is explained
as being that on the application Of heat
tho crystals expand and form glossy
coating, which excludes the oxygen of
the air and prevents its combination with
wood thus rendering flame an impos-
sibnity. The higher tho temperature. the
moro tho crystals expand, and though in
time tho chemical action of each crystal
becomes exhausted and the wood becomes
charred fresh crystals como into play. and
though tho wood may eventually be
charred completely through. no flame
will he generated.
Wood treated in this way does not differ
in appearance from wood that has not
been treated, and Il is claimed that it
does rot deteriorate. ar-5 is not affected
not spoil paint or polish. does not warp.
does not deterioate. and is not affected

offer.
In case OF big disaster our organiza-
ton can be in proper outfit I'd ready to
