HOW BOOKS ARE DiSINFECT TED
Aiethod Employed in France is Said to
Be the Most Successful Yet
Devised.

The danger of contagion from books
that have been in the hands of per-
sons suffering from various diseases
has led to the invention Of methods of
disinfecting, of which none appears to
be more effective than that devised
BIZ member OF the municipal council
of Paris.
This process consists of two fea-
lures. In the first place, the books
are placed in "beater," where
strong current of air opens every leaf,
and an aspirator sucks out the dust
and deposits it in aseptic water. Then
they are suspended in a disinfector,
the covers being bent back and held
by clips, so that the leaves are widely
opened, and placed over a heater,
which for a long time subjects them
to a temperature of 167 degrees Fab.

| DECLARED HIMSELF AT ONCE
New Yorker Saw Fearsome Possibility
of Near Future and Gave Wife
Due Warning.

Visitors to Central park the other
day saw a new angle Of the family
pet out for an airing, reports the New
York correspondent of the Pittsburgh
Dispatch. A young woman was out
with her yariegated parrot. The bird
stalked majestically about the lawn,
but quickly came back and perched on
the young woman's finger whenever
she called. His comings and goings
to and from the finger gave the parrot
its prescribed exercise, whether it
wanted it or not.
The young woman didn't seem to
mind the crowd that gathered about
to watch. In fact she seemed rather
proud of the attention she and the
bird were attracting. Jiggers, whose
family pet is a dog, happened along
with his wife and stopped to look.
81 suppose the next thing" he re
marked to his wife, 'Will be that I'm
to take the canary up to the park for
a walk. Right here l announce the
answer: Nothing doing"

you little while ago.
"My front pair of horns are not very
big, and are just little above my
eyes. My larger pair are above, high

ion among horn-wearers.
MY smaller horns are very small.
and there is no special use that have
for them, except it is nice to have
four horns.
"Now, you may not think so. I've
heard that boys and girls didn't care
at all whether they had so much as
one horn.
'In fact, I've heard that they didn't

USE BURLAP Grapes FOR SUMMER

ton to what might otherwise be an
ordinary drapery.
Other color schemes besides natural
burlap and black are possible. Brown,
with orange felt beading, is a sugges-
tion, while such combinations as dark
green with crimson or white felt, dull
blue with buff or white, mulberry with
green, or gray with blue, would be
charming if in harmony with the gen.
eraI color scheme of the room.
A variation in running the felt
through the drawn work also is hint
for the clever. Several rows of bead
ing, basket beading or various patterns
made by picking up fewer or more
threads. will give an original trimming

Artistic Curtains of Attractive Design
Suitable for Windows, Doors
and Bookcases.

An attractive set of burlap curtains
of a pleasing design are suitable
for any use to which curtains are
put, from draping windows or doors
TO bookcase curtains.
While stenciling or embroidering in
CAV colors often makes the simple
burlap curtain pleasing, neither of
these methods was used to decorate
these curtains of natural colored bur
lap. Instead, drawn work, which is
so popular just now, is employed as
the chief establishment.
The full width of the burlap was
used. First a border of three inches
of fringe was made on one selvage.
An inch in from this fringe more
threads were pulled to form a band
two inches wide. Through the open
work thus made strip of black felt
an inch and half wide was run, just
like beading. The black thus decorat-
ing the burlap gave just the distinc-

Our Most Valuable Trees.

TT is held by competent authorities
that the most valuable trees ever
discovered by man are some that
were four or five years ago discovered
among the carnotite radium beds in
Montrose county, western Colorado.
Carnotite ore is found in western
Colorado and eastern Utah. along a belt
at the foot of La Sal mountains. II
is productive of radium, and is some
times found in the form of petrifled
trees encased in beds of sandstone.
Sometimes the trees are within a foot
of the surface, in other cases they are
buried thirty feet deep.
Walking over the sandstone, one would
never guess that treasure lay beneath
his feet The first evidence that car
notite is locked in the sandstone comes
from the discoloration Of the upper rock
by the uranium ore with which carnotite
is almost always associated.
The tree formations are the richest of
any of the forms in which radium-bear-
ing carnotite is found. One of the big
gest trees produced 5000 sacks of high
grade ore, or 275 tons. In some cases
the ore is worth $4,000 a ton. but that
is only near the heart of the tree.
The trees are wonderfully preserved.
The limbs. roots. knots bark and even
the grain of the wood can be distin-
guished.
The trees all lie in the same general
direction. with the roots facing the
south. 1t is thought that they fioated in
from the north when this region was a
great sea, and that they were caught
in the sand and debris along the shore
Then there came a great geological up
keaval, and at the time of this eruption
the peculiar substance called carhotite
was produced. The trees, which are
porous, absorbed the carnotite. Else
where it found lodgment in the pockets,
bug holes" and blanket formations Of
an inch or two in thickness. Just now
or when those processes occurred no
one can tell.
The carnotite region lies one hundred
miles from a railway. Water is scarce
and has to be packed in on burros. 1t
is very costly to mine In such land.
Millions have been spent in pioneer
work, and the total cost Of getting the
ore out. is heavy.
There is no exorbitant profit in digging
out carnotite trees. for they are scarce.
and in order to dig one out. hundreds
of tons Of Iow-grade ore and rock must
be moved out Of the way.
