At the same time, however. they We're

have no legal right to be seated and that
a single objection on the floor probably
would bar her.

PROPOSES BARK AS FUEL.
Properly Prepared; saws Mr. Bearce. 1t
Could be Substituted for Coal.

In a report to the TechnichaI Associa-
ton of the Pulp and Paper Industry,
which has been holding its annual meet
ing at Detroit, George ID. Bearce, en-
gineer for the News Print Service bu-
reau, described experiments on the sub
stitution of wood bark, properly prepared,
for coal, stating that the enormous
quantity of pulpwood which is used in
the paper business is evidence of its po-
tential fuel value to the industry.
The quantity of bark in pulpwood,
said Mr., Bearce, amounts to approx
matelY 10 per cent of the volume and
weight of the rough wood, or go pounds
of dry bark per cord of pulpwood One
hundred cords of pulpwoOd represents
approximately $4,000 pounds of dry bark
that has a fuel value equal to eight tons
of coal. il the moisture of the bark is re
duced by one-half The heating value
Mr.. Bearce stated. increases greatly If
the moisture content of the bark is less

\ large number of mills using pulp
wood were visited or questioned by MIR.
Bearce and the committee which be
headed. Many stated that they considered
the bark as of little value. Tests made
for the committee showed that two types
of presses We're able to reduce the mois-
ture content to about 60 per cent. but
that it would be necessary to have al
least 30 per cent of the moisture removed
if the bark were to serve as a suitable
substitute for coal. Special draft con
ditions n CRATE surface giving correct
combustion. and refractory walls II dry
ont the moisture are required said Mr.
Bearce.
Under these conditions it was held by
the committee that the bark could be
used az fuel and thus effect a saving OF
n large amount of coal.

DIVER SEEKS SPANISH JEWELS
Girl Makes Attempt to Recover Treas

The profession of deep sea diving
which anyone would classify as Il cali
ing particularly fitted for men, has been
successfully invaded by a woman. Mar
garet Naylor. an English girl, is ac
claimed as one of the most efficient and
daring wearers of the helmet in British
waters.
She has gained wide reputation dur
ing the last two years, and more re-
GENTLY for her efforts in the recovery of
treasure from the sunken Spanish gal
leon lying in 10 fathoms of water near
the shore of Null, an island off Scotland.
There, in the cozy little harbor of Tober-
mory. and less than 100 yards from the
beach, lies one of the great treasure
ships of the Spanish Armada. The
boat was one of the many vessels
launched by the ambitious Phillip, in
1888, for his attempted conquest of Eng
land.
So certain was this monarch that he
would add the British Isles to his al
tready large domain, that he actually

ELEcTRIcITY GROWS Seeds.
Professor Harvey Develops Plant Life
CyrIe in Artificial ight

The growth of plants from seed to
seed without sunlight is an established
fact. according to Rodney Il. Harvey.
assistant professor of botany at the
University of Minnesota, who says that
during the last winter he succeeded in
producing coed seed from plants grown
entirely in artificial light.
4 great variety of plants including
wheat, oats. barley. rye. potatoes. buck
wheat, lettuce, beans, peas, clovers, rad
ishes. fax and a number of common
weeds were experimental with by Pro-
fessor Harvey and all of them developed
successfully under the stimulus of light
supplied by the electric current The
seed produced by them, he says, was of
good quality, full of starch and germi-
mated well.
Light for the experiment was obtained
from tungsten filament nitrogen-filled
lamps which were burned for n hours
each day. The lamps were rated to burn
] 900 hours, but they averaged 5000 to
1000 hours under continuous use. One
set of lamps was found to be more than
sufficient TO produce an ordinary crop
such as the cereals, since the time to
head is much decreased by continuous
illumination. Spring wheats produced
ripe seed in about 90 days. At this rate
it would be possible to grow three gen
CFationS within one year. In northern
regions. where the light in winter is OF
short duration and low intensity. the
growth of valuable plants in artificial
light, it is said. would be of considerable
economic advantage.
All of the plants tested, except cab
bage. have bloomed. according to Profes
sor Harvey, who says further that each
variety does not seem to require any par
ticuIar period of illumination as reported
by previous research workers in this
field
-Four ranges of light intensity were
used Professor Harvey continues, land
a number of plants doomed in all of
them, although the illumination was con-
tinuOus THE tests were performed in
three unheated basement rooms. 1t was
unnecessary to supply any heat other
than that produced by the lamps, even
in the coolest winter weather. For
cereals the temperature was controlled
automatically AT II degrees centigrade
by blowing in cold outside air. The
energy used in heating the ordinary
greenhouse in Minnesota during the win
ter would be ample for both light and
heat in such experiments as these. since
nearly all the energy of the light finally
goes to heat and thus is made to serve
a double purpose"

He's not ashamed of his uniform;
Don't scorn his clothes nor give him

Asked to comment on the reparations
question, Ambassador Jusserand said :
"The French feel that n show Of good

be the best help for the solving Of this
problem"
The ambassador, who is accompanied
by Nine. Jusserand, is returning to

said he intended first to spend a week
in Paris and then to go to his home in

a severe slump on the exchange market

note on inter-Allied debts appears to
have further confused the general ex-
change situation. After opening at

In Vienna the exchange bureau was
