There is horrible rumor that when the

with hammer was putting up curtains, and a
woman in fetching artists cretonne apron
was assisting. A large white gentlemanly bull
dog appeared to be bossing the job inquired
if they had dispossessed the ghost, but they
said no; the haunted house was farther along,
around the bend of the shore. But it occurred
to me that it was too light to hunt ghosts, and

They had it seemed, just happened on the
place when cruising about in their power-boat

Voorhees, and Crew. Crew, the dog, was
named that because, Mr. Voorhees, being cap
tain and Mrs. Voorhees, mate, he couldn't be
anything else. They saw the old house, fell
in love with it, rented it, and resolved to start
an artists colony. Mrs. Voorhees, proper work

last summer he came across this house that
reputed to be haunted.
The ghost itself he never saw, but he told
me about the house the other day, and went
there, but I was not successful in running
down the ghost. Consequently this is not
ghost story, but it is, however, the story of
something l found there that is worth many
spooks, and is almost as remarkable When,
in this year 1921, group of people can form
colony that is in New York and yet not of
it-can beat the high cost of living, twiddle
their fingers at landlords, and within fifty
minutes of the theater district dwell in per-
feet simplicity amid surroundings that many
summer resort can't touch, isn't it mir
aele? That is what found on the ghosts old
stamping ground.
Of course, it is too bad that the specter
apparently is no longer there. A ghost al
ways lends distinction. But somebody has
leased the haunted house and installed modern
plumbing, and no spook is going to stand for
that sort of thing. Or it may have taken
umbrage at some Greenwich Village artists
who have been coming around the place, and
maidens who have been seen posing in bare
loot dances in the greenery. If this ghost
IS the shade of one of the Indians who owned
the region three centuries ago, it has seen
sons interpretive dances in it's time that
ought to render it quite Indifferent to any
thing paleface maidens draped in tinted wells
could do, but if it is a stern revolutionary
patriot ghost its views would naturally be
conservative.
The Pedestrian could not tell me what form
the appariton took.

might be, for the place." he said, els packed

aouse is on the northern tip of Manhattan

aeepened to make the ship canal. Long ago
IL was an Inn with beer garden, with fat
herman for mine host, and rowing parties
would come from Jersey across the Hudson
ana make the forests of Inwood Hill ring
with their revels So the ghost might be a

pier times. Again, it might be the shade OF
leeer Stuyvesants trumpeter, old Anthony
van Coriear, who according to Washington
irving, was drowned in the creek while cross
ing to warn the burghers of British inva-
slon. Or it might be repentant Hessian,
doomed to linger around the spot where he

generations. They are cultivated as
any other crop is cultivated. And
they yield more wealth per acre per
year than my of our forests. Had
the American paper makers prac-
ticed a similar forestry on their
holdings in the Lake states and New
England, they would not now have
any cause to fear foreign COMPETE

try.
Must RefOrest.
AS it is, the only way to save the
huge amounts invested in north
eastern paper mills is to reforest
the surrounding lands. these men
say. They add that the supply of
Canadian pulp, on which these man
ufacturers are drawing, will not last
nearly as long as has been supposed.
with paper consumption increasing
every year. The Canadians conserve
their supply OF pulp woods some
what better than we have have
done, but pulp wood as a crop is of
slow growth in Canada. 1t is said
that a piece of land which has been
u over without destroying the
stand will be ready to cut for pulp
in forty years in Vermont. In Can
ada it would take eighty years for
the trees to reach the same size be-
cause of the shorter growing season
each year.
The supplying of the worlds dali
les with papers is the great prom
lem of industry. If you look closely
at the paper of which your daily is
made you will see hat it has a faint
~ fluffy surface. This is necessary
in order that the paper may abb
sorb the ink at the terrific speed with
which the newspaper is printed. In
order to have this fluffy absorbent
surface, the paper must be made of
pulp which is ground. Paper of a
sort may be made of any kind of
wood, but only certain woods will
stand the grinding process. Pulp
Perth Amboy evening news., 1921-10-15

from the other woods is made by a
process of chemical reduction.
The only woods which have 81 far
been shown to stand grinding well
are various spruces and hemlocks,
though some jack pine and lodge
pole pine are now used. A certain
amount of chemical pulp may be
mixed with the ground pulp, but
the ground pulp must be the basis
for news paper. Book paper and
wrapping paper may be made from
a much larger variety of woods, and
the forestry experts say that the
great southern pine forests will
probably make the South eventually
the center of the wrapping paper
and book paper industries.
The daily papers remain depend
ent upon northern forests where
spruce and hemlock grows. In ad-
dition to the northeastern forests
which are now furnishing most OF
our supply of these woods, there are
immense unused quantities of
them in the Rocky mountains, the
Coast Ranges and in Alaska. The
supremacy of the Scandinavian
countries in the paper business is
due to their possession of large
spruce and hemlock forests which
are carefully conserved. Thus
Sweden ranks next to the United
States as a paper producer, with
Norway and Finland following in the
order named. Sweden and Norway
are producing all the paper they
can without permanently injuring
their forests. The production from
Finland may be expected to increase
somewhat.
In this, as in so many other mat
tiers, Russia is the great unknown.
There are vast spruce forests in
Russia that have not been touched.
When that great country energies
from political commissions into an
orderly economics development, she
will probably become the greatest
paper maker in the world.

HAWAIIAN WONDER TUNNEL
DUG WITHOUT AID OF TOOLS

Recent clearing of a section of
land on Honolulu previously heavi-
ly covered with "guava" bushes, has
brought to light an extraordinary
feat of engineering by the early
Hawaiians.
At an elevation of more than 1000
feet above the sea, and leading from
the damned bed of a mountain tor
rent, there runs a remarkable tun-
mel cut out of the extremely hard
lava which underlies the entire dis
trict.
The tunnel has a width of more
than two feet and is some six feet
in height. 1t leads oil down grade
through the shoulder of a steep
slope. emerging after a few hundred
yards upon a terraced plateau
where, many years ago. large crops
Of taro, a plant akin to the sweet
potato, were grown.
These terraces are now given over
to rice cultivation and are irrigated
by the water flowing from this an
cient tunnel.
Early Hawaiians had no tools save
those made out of stone. Hence it is
believed that fires were lighted at
intervals on the shoulder of the
slope and that the lava, being slight
" softened by the heat. was then
dug out with stone implements.
The native engineers apparently
then proceeded to tunnel from the
base Of each shaft to the base OF

"He who complains of the COM

their native institutions.
