LOCATED ON. BOUNDARY LINE
TeWn That Is Half In the state Of
Vermont and Half In Prov
lnce Of Quebec.

Tharc is q town called Beebe Plain,
which stands anlf in the state of Yer
mont and half In the province Of Que
Doc The post Office was built about
1880 exactly on the boundary land line
between the United States and Cam
ada.
Standing In two countries, tho post
Office belongs to the postal service Of
the two nations. The cellar connects
the two countries. In the days
not very long ago when the post office
was q general store, whisky was
known TO be sold in one country and
delivered In the other without ever
having gone from under the roof Of the
old structure.
Standing In front Of this strange
post Office Is a large post which marks
the boundary line. It Is SAID that one
time a man who wanted to get road
way to his premises moved this post,
and many thousands Of dollars and no
little time had to be spent to establish
the exact line again.

Asreport In the Scientific American

Itured variety. They are using it be-
cause It is 30 per cent cheaper than
fgosoline, and 1t Is the product Of
biackstrap molasses, which Is just
now a drug on the market. This by
product Of cane sugar Is overfowing
the storage tanks; by turning It into
automobile fuel, taxi rates have been
cut, the minimum now being 20 cents.
This cut Is said to have been author
lied by the mayor at the request Of
the cahmen themselves, who hope by
this means to popularize this mode Of
travel.
The superabundance Of blackstrap
molasses has given them their oppor-

"RebuIiding" Carthage.

Rising over the ruins Of ancient
Carthage and tho surrounding hills,
rich In history, Is modern city Of
residential villas. Archeologists point
out that If this building is. permitted
to continue, their excavation work
will be seriously hampered, rs the
new proprietors object to invasions Of
their yards by worl1men, no matter
what treasures Of history may lie un-
derneath. Two French government
employees OF the department Of Tunis
lately bought .:'ccc Of ground on
the site OF tho old city, and before
building their house started to flnd
out whnt was underneath the surface.
After patient digging they discovered
q temple Of Tanit. Unless the French
government stops the sale, real estate
agents will shortly put on the market
some 24O acres Of the site Of Carthage
at a total sale price Of 100000.

Starlight Drives Motor,

a motor driven by starlight has
been invented by an American scien.
ttat, Dr. w. w. Coblentz Of Washing.
ton, ID. g., says the Mentor Magazine.
So sensitive Is the instrument, which
measures heat radiation from the
stars, that 1t will detect an electric
current Of one-billionth Of an ampcre.
Or to put 1t more graphically, 1t is
possible to measure the heat given
or by the most distant star by means
of electricity generated by its heat.
If the heat from certain nebula
composed Of 105 stars, hundreds of
millions Of miles from the earth, were
concentrated on sixty drops of water
for hundred years, the temperature
Of the water would be raised one de-
gree only, Doctor Coblentz says.

WOOD SEASONED BY OZONE
French Scientist Seems to Have
Solved Problem Which Has L>no
Puzzled Furniture Makers.

Green wood warps, as Is well known,
and piano-makers are obliged to keep
wood for period Of ten years or
more before they can convert it into
plano frames, md IN thC building
trade timber oftcp remains In the
yard for several years before It cnn
be Fashioned into doors and window
sasles, This IS to permit 1t to dry
thoroughly. Until the sap has ex.
hausted itself, the wood is liable to
warp. The holding up of large stacks
of timber in this way is expensive
and exceedingly tiresome when this
wood Is required urgently. Some have
attempted to overcome the difficulty
by dehydrating or drying the timber
IN specially constructed ovens, but
without much success Now French
scientist, nj. Otto, has discovered that
oil kinds Of wood can be seasoned
rapidly and efficiently by means Of
ozone.
He has established factory in
Paris and another at Milan, In Italy
where various species Of wood are
being treated by the new process. In
two weeks freshly cut timber Is ready
for the cabinet maker, and Is rs dry

for years. The timber Is laid in spe-

PROPOSES BARK FOR FUEL
Properly Prepared, According to Ono
Who Should Know, It Could Be
Substituted for Coal.

In, report to the Technical Asso-
citation of the Pulp and Paper Indus
try, which has been holding It's an.
nual meeting Mt Detroit, George D.
Bearce, engineer Cor the News Print
Service bureau, described experiments
on the substitution of wood bark, prop
erly prepared, for coal, stating that
the enormous quantity Of pulp wood
which Is used in the paper business Is
evidence Of It's potential fuel value to
the industry"
TAe quantity of bark In pulp wood,
sal ! Mr.. Bearce, amounts to approxi-
mftcly ten per cent OF the volume and
weight OF the rough wood or 25O
pounds OF dry bark per cord OF wood
One hundred cords of pulp wood rep.
resents approximately $4,000 pounds
of dry bark that has a fuel value equal
to eight tons Of coal, If the moisture
Of the bark Is reduced by one-half.
The heating value, Mr.. Bearce stated,
Increases greatly II the moisture con-
tent of the bark Is lessened.
large number Of mills using pulp
wood were visited or questioned by
Mr.. Bearce and the committee which
he headed. Many stated that they con.
sidered the bark Of little value Tests
made for the committee showed that
two types Of processes were able to
reduce the moisture content to about
W per cent, and that 1t would be neces.
sary to have at least 80 per cent Of
the moisture removed If the bark were
to serve as suitable substitute for
coal. Special draft conditions, crate
surface giving correct combustion, and
refractory walls to dry out the moist.
ure, are required. said MrNBearce.
Under these conditions 1t was held
by the committee that the bark could
be used as fuel and thus effect say.

MAN HAS MADE NEW FRIEND
eouth Africa Reported to Have De-
veioped New Animal Entitled to
Distinctive Phrase.

A new friend of man has been found.
This good news was announced by Pro.
fessor Myers at the congress Of the
scientific association recently held at
Hull, England.
This animal, not foreseen by Noah,
is q dog. But singular dog, which
inhabits Rhodesia, and which, on &c
count Of the abundant name that
adorns his neck and shoulders, and
also because Of his moral qualities, has
been named the "dog-lion." The in
habitants from South Africa had al.
ready begun to despair, so much had
tho wild beasts been multiplying there.
The birth rate Of the lion, in particu.
lar, according to reports, was incom.
parable. But now this dog-lion has
appeared.
He was still in the state of possi.
bility in tho course Of nature when H.
lustrlous experimenters and savants
resolved to combine ap animal which
Joined to the lions force and courage
the fidelity. OF tho dog X
And now that the dog.lion has been
launched the true lions are taking
fright. They do not recognize tlEs
false brother and doubt If drop Of
their royal blood flows in his Veins;
for they had not thought themselves
80 cowardly, and they ask themselves
If their reputation Is not little over
done. The other pursues them, closes
them round, and compels them to run.
