CATCHING FISH WITH POISON
Natives Of Borneo Have Peculiar
Method of Levyino Toll on the
Finny Tribe.

Along the tributary streams of the
Rejang river in the independent state
of Sarawak, on the island of Borneo,
the native Sedowans and Dyaks have
a unique method of taking fish, and
one much superior to dynamiting. Near
the mouth of a creek q barrier of lat
ticework Is erected. In this space Is
left an opening wide enough to permit
the canoes to pass through. After the
boats go up the stream net Is placed
across the opening. From 20 to 30
canoes engage in fishing. When the
point Is reached where operations are
to begin, two small dugouts, which
have been lowed, are emptied Of their
liquid contents. This muddylooking
plant coculus indlcus. The poison is
made by pounding the root to shreds
and then mixing with water In certain
proportions known to the fishermen.
Quick results are obtained. In about
FIVE minutes stupefied fish begin com
ing to the surface gaspjng for breath
The numbers increase with every pass
Ing minute. Standing up in their ca
noes the natives spear the helpless fish
with great rapldity. In half an hour
the boats are generally filled to ca
pacity. How potent the tuba poison
Is may be realized by the fact that
within half an hour after few gallons
have been poured In good-sized
creek, fish mile and half down
stream are brought to the surfaca In
considerable numbers. Where the
tuba poison method is good is that the
poison does not kill the fish-only
stupefies them temporarily Thus all
not taken for food soon are normal
again.

BELLS PROPHECY OF 1879
REMARKABLY FULFILLED
as YEARS LATER

DIR. Alexander Graham Bell In
speech of 1876 said:
"Some day all the people of the
United States will sing the Star
Spangled Banner in unison by means
of the telephone"
November 18th, 1921.
1t is 4 few minutes before noon in
Washington and New York and nine
O'Clock IN San Francisco. The Marine
Band stationed inside the Amphithea-
tire at Arlington, plays the "Star
Spangled Banner" Soldiers stand at
attention, civilians remove their hats,
no sound is heard save the music.
In New York and San Francisco the
same band, the same music is heard,
and the distant crowds stand with
Jared heads.
Then the people sing together In
the distant cities. Stretching across
the mountains and the plains from
coast to coast, Nearer My God to
Thee

prophecy in 1876 the entire Bell Sys-

United States in which telephones
were used, the service having been
established there more than forty
years ago. Practically the same sys-

AMERICANS SPEND SIXTEEN
HOURS A YEAR TELEPHONING

One way to measure the extent Of
the relative use of the telephone In
several countries is TO determine the
average amount Of time per year &C
tually spent by each Inhabitant in
telephone conversations. Statistics in
dicate that in the United States the
average per capita time consumed In
holding telephone conversations is six
teen hours in Germany, five hours :;
Britain, two hours; in France, one
hour, and In Italy considerably less
than one hour.

FUNGUS Hastens Decay

General experience shows that In the
case of the resistant woods the part OF
the pole which Is placed In the ground
Ia subject to the most rapid decay. In
most soils the portion Of the pole extend
ing from few inches below the ground
to about two feet below, is found to suffer
more from decay than any other part.
The decay OF this underground portion Is
largely the result OF fungus growth, the
fungus feeding upon the exposed surface OF
the pole Imperfections OF the pole surface
and holes resulting from the presence OF
wood borers tend to hasten decay. Al
though certain amount of moisture Is
essential to the rapid growth OF the fungus
II has been found that decay Is appreciably
retarded on poles set In marsh land where
the butts are entirely submerged and air
consequently excluded.
The fundamental requirement OF all pre-
serving methods involves the formation of
a resisting layer on the outer surface OF
the timber so ms to prevent 1t from being
a satisfactory feeding ground for the fun
gus. Experiments carried out by the Bell
Telephone engineers in collaboration with
the u. S. Forest Service show that IT Is
possible to FORM 6nCn fesiatiHB byei
by the proper application Of certain by
products of coal tar, the so-called dead
oil OF coal tar (creosote) being particularly
satisfactory.
The creosole may be applied In several
ways, the so-called brush treatment being
simplest. Preparatory to brush treatment
the poles are seasoned and their butt
surfaces cleaned of dirt and inner bark.
The preservativc is applied to the clean
surface by means Of a brush, the best re
suits being obtained when the preservatiye
itself Is at temperature between 80 and
200 degrees Fahrenheit. A longer life Is
obtained by applying a second coat after
the first has had time to work Its way
into the wood.
In most soils 1t has been found sufficient
to coat only the surface of the pole at
which heavy decay occurs, that is from
about one foot above the ground to two
feet below It, Two or three coats OF
preservatiye when properly applied by
brush treatment will effect an average In
crease in life OF about Ave years.

LIFE OF POLES
HEIGHTENED BY
PERSONALITIES
Telephone Scientists, After
Long Study, Find Way
to Arrest Decay

Because of the nature OF their business
the telephone and telegraph companies ana
the railways have given close study for
many years to the preservation OF timber
when exposed to weather and soil. They
have many millions OF dollars invested In
timber products, and the development OF
processes to lengthen the life of these
structures has resulted in important saw
ings. Among many Investigations OF the
problem of wood preservation, those OF
the Bell Telephone System are specially
Interesting and valuable in view Of their
extensive character.
There are several varieties of wood which
are well known for their decay resisting
property, among them red and white cedar
and chestnut. Although an excellent wood
both for strength and resistance to decay
black locust does not occur abundantly.
The life OF any variety of timber when
used as poles or posts depends upon the
nature OF its surroundings. Extensive OBJ
servation. show that on the average the life
OF even the woods more resistant to decay
can be approximately doubled by proper
treatment.

FRENCH DEFIANT
ON RUHR DEAL
Nation viii Not Tolerate Inter-
national Preparations Board.
INCLUDES U. S. IN WARNING
America Is Given Plain Hint Not to
Join England in German Policy
Crisis at Hand-Leaeue
May Fall.

Paris, July 12.-France issued a
warning to Great Britain and the rest
of the world that she will tolerate no
attempt to settle the German repara-
ton question through any other agency
than the reparation commission.
The warning, issued in an interview
by a high foreign office official, fol-
lowed definite word that Prime Min
lister Baldwin, in his speech in the
house of commons will accept Ger
many's proposal that the allies accede
to Secretary Hughes suggestion that
PREPARATIONS be fixed by an internation-
al commission of economic experts.
Directed at v. S.
Inasmuch as semi-official advices in
dictate that the United States will join
Britain in her new policy, the French
warning must be regarded as directed
in part at the United States.
France insists on her legal rights"
said the foreign Office official, who had
been delegated by Premier Poincare to
give the interview. under the Yer
sailles treaty, the reparation commits
sion and no one else, has authority
over reparatiOns. If any other nation
or nations sets up any other agency to
usurp the reparatiOn commissions
authority, France will take measures
to prevent the effectiveness of such
action.
Collapse of Lacquer
There is no question that the Brit
ish action means a break between
Britain and France. Then what be-
comes of the league of nations? For
the basis of the league is allied SOL
idarity, and if there is no solidarity
the league must fade away"

UNITED STATES CONTROL
OF COAL MINES URGED
Congressional Commission Favors Su,
pervision, but Not Government
Ownership.

Washington, July 9.-The President
should have the authority in event of
cessation of operations in the anthra-
cite coal industry to declare an emer-
gency, take charge of the mines, fix
wages and the compensation to the
owner, subject to review by the courts,
and to distribute the product as he
deems wise.
This was the outstanding recon-
mendation of the report of the United
States coal commission made public
here. Created by congress last Octo-
Der, the coal commission has since
been making an exhaustive study of
guaranteeing an adequate and unin-
terrupted supply of fuel to the con-
sumer at a reasonable price
No specific legislation was urged by
the commission in the report. Another
report will be made before Sept. %, at
which time the life of the organiza-
ton expires, dealing with conditions in
the bituminous coal industry At that
time the commission intends to lay
before congress legislative program
calculated to remove many of the evils
now surrounding production and dis
tribution Of coal.
The commission announced that it
opposed government ownership of the
mines, but for determining the effect
of natural monopoly on the con-
sumner, recommended publicity through
annual reports made to some govern
mental agency.

FRENCH DEPUTIES UPHOLD
P0INCARE IN CHAMBER
Premier Gets Vote of Confidence
388 to 1856.
Question Hinged on Pope's Letter.
Deadlock With Great Britain
Is Emphasized.

Paris, July 7.-Nothing could better
emphasize the deadlock which the
British and French have reached in
the London conversations than Premier
Poincare's repeated insistence during
debate in the chamber of deputies
OF the papal letter to Cardinal Gas
parri that mo power, temporal or spir-
itual, can turn us from pursuing the
strict application of the Versailles
treaty"
He added, "France, which already
has advanced 10O,OOO,OOOO francs
for the devastated regions, will regret
she must make certain large financial
consortiums wait awhile longer"
In this stand the French premier re-
ceived vote of confidence of 3S8 to
1856. AS in the senate debate on this
occasion which led to unanimous vot-
ing of credits for the Ruhr occupation,
NJ Poincare tried to defend Frances
prestige at the Vatican by showing
that the pope, after comforting with
Ambassador Jonnart, had not only
pointed out that the letter was not
meant as a direct attack upon France,
but 1t contained recognition that Ger
many had not been a faithful debtor,
and that the holy see had given for
nal instructions to its nuncio in Ger
many to protest against sabotage in
the Ruhr, which had caused the death
of Belgium and French soldiers.
