DRAW ON AFRICAN FORESTS
Plan on Foot to Increase WorId's Sup ply of Wood From That Source
 Going Forward.

A reinforcement for the world de mand for lumber is preparing in Brit iSh East Africa, where there are be- tween 100000 and 100000 acres of woodland to draw upon, and new in dustry, very infantile at present, is ex
 pected to grow so rapidly that the gov ernment is now considering plans to improve the harbor facilities for eX- porting the forests. The best wood is suitable for wheel makers and wagon builders and the making of wood block paving, railway sleeperS, bridges, OK yOkes, and aX, pick and tool handles. It also makes good flooring and lining boards. The builder, however, must needs be of a patient disposition if he pOstpOnes building until these British East African woods are available. Meantime there are new sounds in some of the African forests, the rhythm of the woOdsman's ax, the buzz of the sawmill, and the puffing of un
 dersized locomotives on the narrow gauge tracks that are penetrating from the main line of railway into, the woodlands. And many a workman, no doubt, will some day work with tools whose handles grew in an African for est.

BURIED 30 YEARS IN A TREE
Telegram Bracket Completely In.
 closed In Wood Is Found In California.

ThiFty-six years ago a telegraph bracket and insulator was nailed to a Douglas f1r tree near Arcata, Cal A few years later a falling branch badly damaged 1t and che wire which 1t had been supporting was removed. The tree was growing thriftily, adding every. summer to it's diameter a, new layer of e.a woody material, and this growth gradually pushed out around the brae&et on all sides, leaving 1t bur fed in tha tree trunk.
 At the end of %, years the tin of the glass insulator finally disappeared from sigAt and the only trace of it thai could still be seen was a scarcely mo- ticeable lump which looked like noth- ing msre than a healed-over branch stub. A few weeks ago the tree was felled and the. wood manufactured into barrel slaves. The screech of the saw which happened to graze the edge of the glass called atteStion to this un- usual fossil"
 On splitting open the stave bolt the whole story became clear in all its de- tails. The clearly defined annual rings of the rapidly growing trees form an unimpeachable historical record.
 The wood of the insulator bracket is gtiH in good condition and the oak of which 1t was made has received an unintentional preservative treatment. being thoroughly impregnated with the resin of the surrounding fir. The in- teresting specimen can now be seen in the wood collection of the forestry di- vision at the University of California. American Forestry Magazine.

Indian Social Eestlvlties.

The Indians of Northwest and cen tral British Columbia are now in the throes of the height of the social sea son. One pOtlatch scarcely ends be- fore another starts. The Indians gathered at MorricetOwn a short time ago in large numbers and gave away to each other all their personal be- longings. No one suffered, as each had a suit of clothes to give and take. Now, the potlatch at Hagwllget, in the Hazelton district, is on. The Indians have foregathered again. An other gathering will be held later fin the north. Considerable business is done at these functions by the white
 traders. They meet the trapper In-
 dlans and buy the spring fur catches.

Ancient Chinese Art.

Attention has been called to a not able addition to the treasures of the British museum, in the shape of a colossal Chinese figure in wood. It is sculptured from cleverly jOinted blocks, and represents a figure, in sitting posture, five feet, eight inches in height. It is the first specimen of its kind to be added to the national collections in Great Britain; the date is thought to be from 1126 to 127O A. D. It is to be hoped that the interest aroused will lead to further study of this branch of art. It is pointed out by a writer in the, Burlington Maga- zine of Art that in Cleveland, O., competent scholar in connection with the museum is sent to China to stndy the art and collect suitable art treas ures on it's behalf.

Swiss Watch Industry.

In a survey of the Swiss trade In watches for last year, Trade Commits siOner H. Lawrence Graves al Zurich points out that more and more the ex- ports of these articles to the United States are heinz cOntin to finished watch movements without the case. The value of finished movements, without cases and of watches com plete with cases of gold, silver and nOnpreciOus metals, including chro- nographs and all watches of fancy de- sign, amounted to $11,211,051. Of this total the value of the finished movements, without cases, was $S,- 2SO,726. This last figure represents about S3 per cent of the total exports of finished movements from Switzer- land during 1919, the rest going large ly to England, Canada and. Jap.n.

MANDOLIN IN SECOND PLACE
italians in New York Now Exhibit a Decided Preference for the
 Photograph.

Many an odd note creeps into the American process of the melting pot ; often there is a queer mixture of the modern with the old-established na- ,tlOnal customs. Probably nowhere in Brooklyn is there better illustration of this than in the big Italian colony lying in the region between Browns vile and east New York. @e-..s
 There nightly you hear the Italians love for music loudly expressed. not through the tinkling mandolin or gui- tar of Naples, but through the ultra modern photograph. The moon beams down brightly, and perhaps damsels as fair as those of sunny Italy peep through shuttered windows, but the serenade below is one by proxy. CarusO and Mccormack, Martinelli and 2 Slezak, GalH-Curci and Farrar vie with each other in vocal flights through horns of brass and fiber. Naturally the beloved mandolin, oft en brought with the bundle of clothes from far-Off Sicily or the NeapOlitan
 hinterland, is cherished still, but the native tunes and airs are confined largely to the barber shops or the
 sadly-altered wine cellars.-BrOoklyn

Sev- eral plantations are now established in Georgia and Louisiana. POpuIariza- ton of the bamboo will furnish large homegrown supplies of this useful timber required by our manufacturing industries. The giant grass grows a foot day, and it's 50-foOt stalk is well adapted for making frames. furni- ture, ladders, trellises and barrel hoops.

MYSTERY OF GREAT LAKES
Scientists Unable to Explain the Rise and Fall of the Water Along
 the Border.

Why does the water in the great of the United States and Canada rise and fall in periods which average Sev- en years? This naluraI phenomenon has been a puzzle since the days when France held sway iE Canada POO years ago.
 Tn an unpublished diary of an Eng fish traveller who vOyaged up the St. Lawrence river to Niagara. Ontario, in the summer of 17S5. is the follow ing reference to this mystery of the waters: "A remarkable circumstance was told me by Mir. Pansee, our con ductOr, who had been constantly en- gagged in this navigation for nearly twenty years. and which he advised me is matter of fact both from his own observation and that of the old est inhabitant. Each year the St. Lawrence river settles or falls a little until the seventh year, when it is vsi ble that 1t has sunk between three and four feet, and then for the next seven years it continues to rise in the same proportion. The river is at this time at it's greatest elevation (July l. 1785). I took pains to gain some in- formation of this uncommon phenOm- enon. find that the lakes have the same appearance"
 Careful government records were be- gun about the year 1920 and since then it has been found that the periods be- tween high and low water are some times as low as four years and some times as high as nine years, although they average seven years. This year the water is again at it's lowest in the lakes and river, and freight car riers are having trouble in various harbOrs.-Christian Science Monitor.
