PAPER FROM VENEER WASTE
How Much Material That Has Hereto.
fore Been Thrown Away Is
Now Utilized.

( In the wood waste from veneer fac.
tories the United States forest prod
ucts laboratory sees considerable raw
material suitable for the manufacture
Of high grades of paper. The cores
Of many kinds of veneer logs, now
used in large part for fuel, make ex-
ceslent pulpwood. In addition. large
part of the clippings could be turned
into pulp stock with profit.
Among the veneer woods whose
waste has paper-making possibilities,
comments the Scientific American, are
red gum, yellow poplar, cottonwood,
birch, tupelo, Eastwood and beech.
Many veneer factories cutting these
species are already within shipping
distance Of pulp mills, In certain 9th
er cases veneer factories are so
grouped that they might furnish pulp
wood enough to warrant the erection
Of centrally located mill. Other eco.
monte factors being favorable, such Il
mill could profitably operate on n
daily supply of veneer waste equiva-
lent to 80 cords of ordinary pulpwood.

NO BUILDINGS ON THE SUN
Why Some Observers Imagined That
They Saw Structures on Face
of "Old SOL"

Well into the last century It was be-
lleved that the sun was inhabited, not
with puny beings like ourselves. but
with people weighing several tons and
of proportionate strength.
The sun, being body of most ire
mendous size. must necessarily hive
inhabitants worthy Of ifs grandeur.
And, having men, women and children,
It must have buildings in which to
house them and to carry on their in
dustrles.
Hence some observers, with an In
genuity which did credit to their Inn
aginative faculties, were certain that
they had discovered buildings on the
dark. solid body Of the sun. The
buildings were not claimed TO be in
regular formation, such as a vast city
In the sun might be supposed to con
tain, but were merely traces
That was how these observers al
lowed their Imagination to run riot.
As a fact, what they actually saw
was not a dark body on the sun at all,
for it possesses none, but dark open
lngs Caused by uprushes of gas) in
the suns flaming envelope These
openings we know as sunspots, and the
differences in the shading of the spots
We're taken TO be buildings beside
which the largest on the earth would
be mere toy.

How Miners Are Protected.

The United States bureau Of mines
operates ten mlne-rescue railroad cars
which travel from mine to mine in the
different mining districts of the coun-
try, giving training in first aid and
mine rescue work and assisting in
times of mine disasters and fires. In
addition the bureau maintains eight
fixed mine rescue stations, seven Of
which are equipped with auto rescue
trucks, available in the same manner
as the rescue cars.
"lhIs service to the mines and
miners has been real and paying
one accounted only in the number of
lives and in the value Of property
saved" said Director f. G. Cottroll.
In a statement issued recently. 'Its
by-pfoducts have been nm awakened
sense Of responsibility OF miners and
operators alike, resulting in decided
decrease of fatal and nonfatal aecl-
tents to the miuers."

How to Make PET Of loan.

The next time you see a toad pick
1t up, place It on your knee and gently
stroke its back with your finger tip,
In few minutes it will squat down
close to your knee and then you can
take your hand away and it will make
no effort to escape, If you can catch
a few flies and put them one by one
on your finger and slowly thrust your
gift toward the toad the latter's pink
tongue will shoot out and accept the
Eift IN u second. Do this every day,
and the toad will not only come TO
your whistle, or call, but will hunt
YOU up il you are in the yard or gar
den where it lives. BY placing 1t on
your knee Il few times it soon loses
its fear, and lastly you win find it OBJ
iects to be taken off the warm resting
place, and win Aatten itself down in
protest as you try TO lift 1t off.

Two thousand years ago the Ro-
mans built roads, some OF which are
still in active service. These roads
have lasted through the centuries sim.
ply because of their massive construc-
ton. The Romans built four success
i've courses or layers on an earth sub
grade, carefully prepared and drained.
First came the statumen or founda-
ton, then the rodius, next the nucleus
and finally the pavimentum or wear
ing surface. The statumen and paw
mentum consisted of large fat stones
while the two intervening courses
were built of smaller stones laid in
lime mortar. TO carry the chariot
and packhorse traffic Of Roman times,
these roads were seemingly ridiculous
~ heavy, yet the wisdom of the build
ers was amply demonstrated by the
500 years during which the Roman
road system formed the backbone of
the transportation system of the an
cient empire,

A type Of plumage transformation
which appears to have Il very clear
adaptive purpose is what Is known
as the eclipse of the male" 1t Is
particularly Characteristic of many
species of ducks, the two sexes of
which ordinarily have distinct plum
ages. Most ducks moult their flight
feathers all at one time, with the
result that they are quite unable to
fly for term of several weeks after
the breeding season. During this
period they live retired lives among
the secluded waterways Of their nest

new quilts to equip them for their
autumn migration,

sourc.s Of Dickens, Names.

1t seems surprising that the name of
Dickens characters, odd though they
were, should be found in real life; for
IT was from life that many of them
were taken. Some, as is known, were
copied from the names of signs over
business places; but that was not the
noyelist's only source Of selection.
John Forster, his biographer, found
among his papers carefully drawn
list of names, with the sources from
which he obtained them. Some of the
names are too extravagant for any
thing but reality; Jolly Stick, Bill
Marlgold, George Muzzle, William
why, Robert Gospel, Robin Scrabbau,
Sarah Goldsacks, Catherine Two, So
phia Doomsday, Rosetta Dust and

Observation-Disclosures,
HOW

HOW
MUSIC CAN BE USED TO
OVERCOME SHELL SHOCK.
The Society Of Vocal Therapy
was founded two years ago in
England to provide teachers for
the instruction of soldiers and
ex.soldiers In breathing and Sing
ing under medical supervision.
At the second annual meeting of
the society, Lieut.. Col. Sir Fred
erick Mott gave an address on
the influence of music on body
and mind.
He said that early in the war
two cases OF she'll shock in which
there was complete loss of mem
DRY came under his notice, which
showed that musical memory re-
turned earlier than other forms
OF memory-or, rather, the pow
er Of recollectlng past expert
ences. He found that soldiers
suffering with shock who had
been singers or players Of the
piano were able to remember
and sing songs or play pieces
they had learned on the piano,
and yet could not remember ex-
periences connected with their
daily vocations or surroundings.
Again, men who were mute from
the same cause would at con-
cert suddenly regain their speech
by Joining in the chorus of some
well-known song. OF all the
arts, music appealed most TO the
emotions, and probably words
associated with music we're
more stably organized in the
mind, owing to the musical ORR
gin OF the language Of the emo
tons.
He quoted the case of a sol
der who suffered from aphasla
following a gunshot wound Of
the left side of the brain. The
bullet passed through the speech
center and also blinded him. He
understood what was said TO
him, but could express judgment
only by "Ah" and "0ot," which

bar of the music was given TO

Long Way to Tipperary" was
hummed to him, he started the
! well-known chorus, winding mp
with: "Are we downhearted?
No." But on being then asked
to say "Tlpperary," he replied:
"Oot," and could not utter any
Of the words. A month later he
