OUTLAWS DROPPED TO DEATH
Mexican Authorities Alleged to Have
Devised Unique Punishment for
Murdersrs and Robbers.

Thrilling stories OF his experiences
with Mexican bandits are told by r.
W. Hammond. who has charge OF land
matters In Mexico for the Humble
OIL and Refining company. He has
been travelling through the wilds OF
that country Tor many years and has
come into close contact with many
bands OF brigands on several occs-
sions he was captured by outlaws and
his life threatened but he always
managed TO come through unscathed.
One Of his interesting statements a
few days ago was that the govern
ment authorities OF the Tampico dis
trlct have adopted a new method Of
putting bandits and reyolutlonlsts to
death. Instead OF standing the con-
demned men in front OF a firing
squad. as has been the usual prsc-
tice. the prisoner is tied 10 an air
plane and taken to an altitude OF
1900 or 5000 feet and there the rope
is cut and the man falls to his death.
II is asserted that this unusual form
OF melting out the death penalty has
thrown terror into the hearts Of the
criminal element and that there has
been very noticeable decrease OF
murders and robberies since the aerial
route OF dealing out death was
adopted.

DUCKS KILLED BY OIL WASTE
Polluted Waters, Il 10 Declared, Have
Destroyed Thousands OF the
Finest Game Birds.

The destruction of thousands OF
game birds each season by their alight-
ing In oil-polluted waters has been be-
fore the attention OF sportsmen for
some time. and many efforts have been
made to remedy conditions In different
sections Of the country. A bulletin OF
the American Game Protective associa-'
ton says that II the oil-burning trans
atlantic and coastwlse steamers would
take the same view of the matter an
the Northern Pacific railway we would
have little cause to worry about the
oil menace on tidal waters.
For years many birds have been
killed by the oil waste at round
house pump of the Northern Pacific
system at Las Vegas. New. The United
States bureau OF biological survey took
the matter up with the company and
has been advised that conditions will
be remedied Immediately. The rail-
road company is installing an oil-re-
covsfy plant at considerable cost.
which will not only eliminate the men
ace to water fowl. but will prove a
source of revenue to the company In
utilizing materials that up to this time
have gone to waste.

"PIastic Wood" 10 New Product.

A new product. made by colloidal
processes and Just put on the English
market, Is announced by the Chem
ical Age. The interesting thing
about this product is that IT may be
used to repair broken or worn wood
en- articles. A pattern is made OF
the article and the plastic wood Is
filed into the mold and allowed to
set hard.
This takes but a few hours, and
the product obtained is said to be
extremely hard and possessed OF all
the characteristics Of wood except that
1t will not absorb moisture as wood
does. The hard plastic wood can be
worked with the usual carpenter tools.
and nails. screws, ETC., can be driven
into 1t without fear OF splitting.
