BARK CLOTHING or AFRICANS
Beaten Int Sheets, 1t 10 sun-orisd
and sewsd With Fiber
Taken From Sienna.

Tree bark is used in tropical At
RIGA to make cloth. In days gone
by this material was solely used 70
provide what little covering human
bodies needed. In this making of
the cloth the tree is stripped to 8
height of about ten feet. This bark
stripping can be done at twelve
month intervals, the third or fourth
bark making the finest cloth.
The inner bark is used for the
cloth, and strips from four TO eight
feet in length are beaten with .
mallet to the thickness Of heavy
brown paper 1t is then sun-dried,
when it takes on a terra-cotta shade.
Holes and flaws are patched and the
cloth is made up into sheets about
eight feet square.
Strips of fiber from the dry stem
are used as thread, and the work
of stitching is always undertaken
by men. In addition, the bark is
used for door hinges, drinking yes-
sells, grain drums, cradles, beehiyes,
nets, game traps, blankets, fishing
lines, rope, cord and thread.

FREEDOM OF THE RICH

Ipained the socialist while discussing
Irxesent-day conditions with a num-
Der of coreligionists. when poor
man steals loaf Of bread he is
sent to jail, but when a rich man
steals railroad he is sent to con-
gYess. How things come to such a
pass is beyond my comprehension"
! ut is very simple matter" re-
marked one of the bystanders, a man
of scholastic attainments. "You
see, when Moses brought the two
tablets down and saw that his peo-

he became furious and hurled the
tablets to the ground, breaking them
Iin two. When the rich came on the
scene they grabbed the half which
read steal KILL 'covet' and SO
forth. Later, when the poor came,
they took possession of the other
half, which read, do not, do not
sll the way down the line. Since
then the poor abide by the 'don'ts'

Combining beauty with utility, a
material is being made from
SKINNED milk. AS it is noninfam-
mable, odorless and can be drilled,
glued and dyed. it has a multitude
of uses as substitute for ivory,
ebony, amber, tortoise she'll horn
and other similar products.
Besides, it may be used as an
almost perfect imitation of many
natural products Of great price,
among them being Chinese jade
and lapis lazuli, says the Detroit
News. A brilliant polish is easily
obtained and it can be bent, pressed
and, to some extent, nodded or ma
chined. AS it is a nonconductor Of
electricity, it may be used in max
ing decorative radio and lighting
fittings.
1t has been found valuable for
ships cabins, handrails, motorcar
fixtures and in the making of beads,
buckles, buttons, jewelry, fancy
ornaments, cigarette " holders,
combs, brushes, carriage handles,
parts of furniture, pencils and PEN
holders, organ stops and piano keys.

CAN MAKE cREM0nA vARHISH
vleIin Maker Asserts He Has olseov-
cred the Formula Of Secret
Process.

The Roman newspaper, La Iri-
buna, quoted by the Living Age, de-
scribes q curious exposition opened
at Cremona by Signor Lncio CALI
came, maker Of stringed instru-
ments. For years he labored to dis
cover the secret of the renowned
yarnish of Cremona violins which
used to give to the old instruments
their marvellous &nority. Now, Sig
nor Gallicanne asserts, he has dis
covered the secret in an Italian
manuscript dated 1716, and has
used it in finishing certain vio-
Inns and cellos which he is now ex-
hibiting.
Upon being asked concerning the
ingredients of the varnish Signor
Gallicanne limited himself to ex-
planning that, while all previous in
yestigators believed that the Gre
mona yarnish was made with alco-
hol, the truth of the matter is that
it is made with certain resinous sub
stances and is not at all soluble in
alcohol.
The varnish was invented by the
brothers Van Eyck and used by
their Flemish successors, including
Ter Borch and Metsu. From Hol-
land the secret Of its making was
brought to Italy by Antonella da
Messina, and it became known to
the Cremonese through some paint
er during the Sixteenth century
Christian Science Monitor.

Man Has Worn Them Since Ancient
Times for Many Varied
| Purposes.

For a woman TO wear ring on
the third finger of her left hand
is assign that she is engaged. II she
wears one on her little finger, it
denotes that she intends to remain
single.
A man wearing ring on his first
finger means to imply that he wants
wife. He wears ring on the
second finger if he is engaged, and
on the third finger if he is married.
If the ring appears on the little
finger, he is determined to remain
a bachelor.
Rings carved with the heads Of
deities were used by superstitious
ancient Greeks to ward off evil.
Ancient Britons used the figure of
st. Christopher to protect them
from sickness and food, and that
Of St. Barbara to ward off sudden
death.
In the Eleventh century rings
made OF horn and worn on the
fourth finger were said to afford
protection against epilepsy; while
pure gold ring was said to cure
pains in the side.

water for $4,000 acres of farm

When realization Of the fearful
tragedy finally dawned upon them
the scenes were most pathetic.
According to employees Of the
Southern, this is the first time
IN the history. of the Washington
division that such an accident has
occurred. 1t is stated that in 1901
a locomotive boiler burst on the
Danville division.
Reports have it that the i'll
fatcd train had, just a few min
utes before, met a train of the
G.. and O. and had the explosion
come just at that time there
would have been one of the worst
wrecks in the history Of the en-

This was the banner year for
East-West games with three play

and it looks like it may stand
as a record in the number OF
games.
Admittedly only one of these
contests wss a success financially
the successful one being the
Penn State L. S. c. game at
Pasadena. Over $4,000 persons
saw it, making box office receipt
which paid expenses ard left
goodly margin.
The game between Pitt ard
Stanford at Stanford's stadium
was Il disappointment. Only about
5000 to 6000 persons gathered IL
the big Stanford bowl, built to
seat $4,000. The game did not
pay expenses. The Gonzaga, W.
Virginia game at San Diego met
. fate similar to the Stanford
Pitt game. losing a sum reported
to be approximately $4,000.
There seemed to be growing
sentiment against too many OF
these inter-coastal, post-season
games and in increasing feeling
that one big game should be the
program. This game, it was
