Morn-Proof Wool.

A moth-repellant has been intro
duced In the German market, which, ii
is claimed, will positively make the
wool fabric absolutely moth-proof. An
additional advantage of this product,
known as Eulan f, is that it does not
discolor the fabric, SO that the wool
can be dyed in bright shades without
any difficulty. The product Is white
powder which does not dissolve very
easily in water. Acid must be added
to make it dissolve. In this condition
it is used in the textile mill, and 1t is
preferable to put the woolen fabric
through the moth-proofing treatment
in the factory. Another form of the
product is sold for use In the house
mold. In this form the powder will
dissolve very easily in water. The
woolen fabric is then soaked In the
solution and permitted to dry. Only a
/ per cent solution Is required. Eulan
e is now on the market in Germany

sEW USE FOR SCOTCH LAKES
Long Famed In Song, II ls Now serl-

Scotland Is waking up to the fact
that its lakes and waterfalls may be

Electricity bill' has been given Sec

In this company Is empowered to
collect and use the waters Of Is lochs

over an area of AT square miles.
The waters proposed TO be utilized
ere estimated to be capable of gen.
Grating $4,000 horse power to supply
electricity in the counties of Perth,
Kinross, and Forfar, and districts in
four other counties. The capital Is
placed at E4.500.OOO ($22, ,500,00O).
That any OF. the beautiful lakes and
fails Of Caledonia stern and wild"
should be used to set the wheels Of
industry spinning, many In Scotland
regard almost as sacrilegious desecra-
tfon. And that opinion is shared by
not q few Americans who are accus-
toned to visit Scotland annually.
But the promoters declare that the
preservation of the natural beauties
Of Scotland is expressly provided for
by the terms Of the bill. And they add

CANCER IN STEEL HORSESHOE

viii Lessen Possibility of De-
structive Forest Fires

Copper horseshoes as a means of
preventing forest fires have recently
made their appearance in several of
ne national forests of the West, and,
II the plans of certain forestry Off
tfalS are carried into effect, this metal
will supplant steel upon the hoofs of
all horses ito be used on public do
mains where there is any measure of
fire hazard
According to the supervisor of the
Angeles National forest. in southern
California, steel horseshoes used in
Unity mountain regions may have been
he cause of some of the mysterious
Tres that have started in the forest
reserves. Heavy steel horseshoes
striking against flint or hard granite
nay readily be the source of sparks,
which, falling into dry grass or other
