they had been approached by two
galleries in this manner.
The galleries in, question were
warned that such action was in vio-

WOOD SEASONED By OZONE
French Scientist Seems to Rave
Solved Problem Which Has Long
Puzzled Furniture Makers.

Green wood werps, as Is well Known
and piano-makers are obliged to keep
wood for period of ten years OF
more before they can convert II into
piano frames. and In the building
trade timber often remains In the
yard for several years before 1t can
be fashioned into doors and window
sashes. 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 tlresome 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
all kinds of wood can be seasoned
rapidly and efficiently by means OF
ozone.
He has established a 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 as dry
as II 1t had been exposed to the air
for years. The timber Ii laid In spe-
cially built chambers, through which
ozone Is made to pass at a uniform
heat. Ozone Is air highly charged
with certain electrical qualities.

Irritation in South Africa.

The biggest irrigation WORKS IN
South Africa and second only In the
whole of Africa to the Assuan dam on
the Nile, has just been completed. Inc
works, known as the Lake Mentz con

the undertaking to the extent OF over
50. 500, 900. in the interest OF land set
Element and to further the develop
ment of the agricultural resources OF
the union. The dam impounds 2o,1oo,-
OO0, 900 gallons of water ana the area
submerged is 1900 acres. Subsidiary
works lower down the Sundays river
constructed by private enterprise at a
cost of $3.OOO,000 consist Of three d.
version weirs and canals extending
over 400 miles. The scheme aims at
intensive cultivation, under a perma'

"Rebuilding" Carthage.

Rising over the ruins of ancient
Carthage and the surrounding hills,
rich in history, is a modern city OF
residential villas. Archeologists point
out that If this building Is permitted
to continue, their excavation work
will be seriously hampered. as the
new proprietors object to invaslons of
their yards by workmen, no matter
what treasures of history may lie I'M
derneath. Two French government
employees Of the department of Tunis
lately bought a piece of ground on
the site of the old city. and before
building their house started to find
out what was underneath the surface.
After patient digging they discovered
a temple Of Tanlt. 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.

of the new road be
routed from Salt Lake City north
over the Union Pacific to Twin
Falls and thence south over the
new road.
In addition to this it was stated
that the Union Pacific intends to
use the new route as a main line
from Butte, Montana, through to
San Francisco, and the Western
Pacific will reciprocate for the use
of the Union Pacific's tracks by al
lowing that road to use their tracks
from Wells through to San Fran
cisco as part of their main line of
travel from Montana city to the
California metropolis.
Should this materialize, it is ex-
pected that the division point for
the Union Pacific trains will be at
Elko at the local Western Pacific
shops, which under this proposed
plan would be made use of jointly
by both roads, necessitating great
increase in size of the shops as well
as the number of employees work
ing there.
One direct result of the COM
mencement of construction of the
new branch by the Oregon Short
Lire, has been real estate boom
in Wells, Mr.. Vardy states, large
number of transactions having been
made recently, in anticipation of q
boom in the city of Wells also as
soon as the road is completed.
Wells anticipates being made 9
division point, Mr.. Vardy states
and bases its hopes for materia
increase in population and business
on this fact.
