that ordinarily takes thousands OF

GUS regions near Vienna.
The Aussee Sanding, rising over
5000 feet, Is simply collspsing. Its
great cones and pinnacles OF rock are
crashing and tumbling as II under
mined by gnomes; the forests that
clothed the slopes lie fat or move
slowly, and steadily downward, piling
into the valleys, and the turf carpet
moves with them. Over three and
three-quarter miles Of territory are In
yolyed In the movement and hundreds
of sightseers view the Commissions
from opposite slopes.
The phenomenon has been In prog
ess for nearly year with gradually
increasing acceleration. One scientific
explanation Is the presence Of an alb
normal quantity Of water in the chalky
limestone core Of the mountain, caus-
ing the collapse Of great caverns and
the slipping Of strata.

To Give Timber "a Shot"

The best method Of applying pre-
servatives to timber Is by the pressure
process which is used by practically
all large commercial companies, says
the American Forestry Magazine OF
Washington. BY this means the oil
or mineral salt is forced deeply into
the tissues of the wood, thus giving a
thoroughness and permanence not
otherwise attainable. There are va
rious processes, but all use large and
expensive apparatus by which vacuums,
and heavy pressure may be applied in
large treating cylinders, which are
usually six feet or more in diameter
and hundred feet or more in length.

SAILORS LUCKY DISCOVERY.

The eyer-changing boundaries of
European countries produce some
strange situations. A German sailor,
stranded in America during the war,
on seeking employment in the
American merchant marine, found
that this was impossible except in
the coastwise trade, which is not at
all attractive to transatlantic sailors.
He found a way out, however, says
an exchange. Quite accidentally he
discovered that he was not q Ger
man at all, but a Pole, having been
born in the province of Posen, which
the Versailles treaty coded to Po-
land. When he had taken the oath
Of allegiance before the Polish con-
sui, this newly made Pole, who knew
not word of Polish, found himself
eligible for the position he desired.

H.dc. Solves Fencing Problems.

:
More and more Americans are APP
Dreciating the value Of privacy in their
gardens. 1t Is sane idea, this
that we plant lovely lawns and grow
shrubs and trees, not to form park
for the admiring gaze Of motorists and
neighbOrs, but to furnish us with a
little kingdom Of outdoors all our
own, where we can live and breathe
and have our being unbeholden and I'm.
mOlested.
Very frequently, of course, privet
and other hedge shrubs seem to be
planted only for the sake Of divid-
Ing one property from another or
one section Of the garden from an
other. Then there Is reason In keep
ing the hedge clipped back. But
the hedge that is built for the pur-
pose OF giving protection should be
clipped only enough to give the roots
strength and to give 1t trim ap-
pearance.
Much Is being done nowadays with
FRS and other evergreens for hedges
Nursery men have gone to the ends
Of the earth for trees and shrubs
that would Withstand the extremes Of
our climate. A recently introduced
ar has come from the east coast Of
Asia, where they are accustomed to
Q hotter summer and colder winter
than we have here. and are therefore
sure to Withstand our extremes. Great
expense has also been taken to get
shrubs and trees suitable for wind
breaks In the trying seashOre climate.

Much Timber Decay.

1t is estimated that eight billion
feet of untreated structural timbers
decay every year, says the American
Forestry Association of Washington.
If that whole amount were to be treat
ed we would actually save about four
billion feet of lumber every year. That
is to say, it would render unnecessary
the annual deforestation of some four
hundred thousand acres Of land. There
could be no truer or more effective
forest conservation, and every home
builder who, by the use of preserva-
tives, lengthens the life of his house
or barn, performs an effective service
to the cause of forestry.

ENERGY FROM OCEAN WAVES.

The newest invention for utiliz-
ing the energy of ocean waves has
been patented by Thomas A. McCul-
" of San Francisco. 1t is an ar
rangement Of two buoys connected
with q horizontal shaft that rests
upon a supporting structure mount
ed on stone pier. The floating buoys
alternately rise and fall with each
wave, thereby actuating driving
arms, which cause a pair of large
ratchet wheels to reyolve. The
energy thus developed is commune
Gated through suitable gearing to q
vertical shaft for power purposes.

OHIO STATE FOOTBALL STAR TO BE DRAFTED
 TO SAVE TRACK TEAM

Columbus, Ohio. Feb. 1S.-Pete tinchcomb, star Ohio State football player, may he drafted for the Buck eye track team. In his high school days, a corking good sprinter and jumper, Stinchcomb concentrated his collegiate efforts on the gridiron sport during his first three years. Now that his active football days are over. he probably will be available for track and possibly for baseball.
 Stinchcomb had an interscholastic mark of ; feet inches in the high jump, well over 20 feet in the broad leap and ran his ''100' ill close to 10 Is seconds.
 Coach Castleman also is casting long ing eyes on Bill Clark, varsity basket ball man. whom he believes has the makings of a great half-rniler.
 Princeton will be represented in six relay championships. two other running events and four field contests at the Penn relay carnival, Philadelphia, April 29 and 30.

PLENTY OF SLAB
 TALENT AT YALE
Ellis Gifted This Year With 30
 Battery Men.

When the curtain fell Saturday on the first weeks practice of the Yale baseball battery candidates for this sea son Coach Bill Lauder and Captain Wilton Peters found themselves with the largest and most brilliant staff of pithecrs ever gathered to begin an Eli campaign. The battery squad numbers nearly 30, there being a dozen pitchers of the Yale varsity standard and at least three frst-c1ass Catchers.
 The pitching squad has been divided
 into three groups for special attention, including Frank Coxe, Dean Robinson and Howard Selleck, first, the three veterans of last years regular cam paign; Ed Kelley, Johnny Calhoun and Ted Chittenden, the three leading sub stitutes last year, and Mike Eddy, John Symington, and Jim Sloane. The last named three are new to Yale varsity service, but Eddy pitched most of the winning games for the freshmen last year and formerly explained Andover Academy. Sloane is the former Wash ington X Lee boxnan, while Syrning- ton is former freshman and second varsity twirler. Eddy and Sloane may prove their right to regular varsity service, but both are hard hitters and are extremely likely to be sent into the Outheld for part of the season.

USE OF MOUTHPIECE
 IN RING IS ILLEGAL
Action by New York Commission Grows Out of Lewis
 GO>

New York, Feb 18.-The New York state boxing commission has ruled as illegal the use of rubber mouth-piece protectors, such as worn by Ted "kid' Lewis in his bout at Madison Square Garden last Monday with Jack Britton, worlds WelterWeight champion.
 The ruling was announced after a hearing before subcommittee at which BrittOn, charged with misconduct i'll the ring, admitted that he went to his op- pOnents corner ust after the second round ended and struck Ze1ig Good- man, one of Lewis seconds, during an argument over the use of the protector. Decision in his case was reserved for consideration of the entire boxing com mission and license committee.
 Britton, who apologized to the com mittee for his action, said that as a championship title was at stake he felt justified i'll going to his opponents cor ner to demand that Lewis refrain from using the protector. Lewis testified that the protector was necessary because he had tender lips, which were cut easily, while Britton contended that it really was a shock absorber The champion added that he had met Lewis a score of times and always had argued against the use of the mouth-pieCe, especially in a contest at Boston four years ago when they had a "wrangle" over it.
