 Their original home appears to have been Pennsylvania, but their habitat now extends from coast to coast, with their favorite haunts the northern half of the United States.
 So fastidious has the public taste for pretzels become that the depart. ment of agriculture recently delved into the intricacies of their manu- facture in an effort to determine what flour best is suited to the pur- pose.
 It was found that flour of high protein content produced pretzels hard and flinty in texture. Flour of low protein content had an adverse influence on shape and size. The department cooks decided that satisfactory pretzel flour can be made by blending hard and soft wheat Hours of high and low pro- tein content, or by using a patent" or straight flour" having small percentage of clear"

PRESERVAT|VE IS
 FOUND FOR WOODS
Science Determines How to Eradicate Pests

New York. Jan. 31. R-Chemistry has found a new class of materials for use in wood preservation,
 Leo Patrick Curtin of the Vest ern Union Telegraph companys en- ginecring laboratories found that destructive fungi were unable to grow if the wood were impregnated with a strong enough alkaline sub stance. He determined also that heavy petroleum was the best oil type base preservative for wood re- quiring waterproof coating.
 The results of his tests designed to safeguard telegraph poles from rot and the attacks of insects have been reported to tho American Chemical Society.
 About 93 per cent of the 15o. .00o poles annually installed by the Western Union are creosoted," he says, land since the creosote in the pole costs slightly more than the wood itself, the development of wood conservatives that will be available in large quantity, highly taxic to low forms of vegetable and animal life, at least as permanent as creosote and of low cost is of importance to railroads and other large users of wood.
 Leaving mechanical injuries out of consid aration, the principal agents in the destruction of wood are rotting. due to consumption oi parts of tho wood by fungous or ganisms, and attack by insects.
 ''It is shown that certain repre-

sentative wood-rotting fungi pro- duce acidic substance in artificial nutrient media and also in wood. The production of acid immediately accompanies the growth of the fungus and makes possible the use of several salts of wood, which are of low solubility in water aS pre- servatives.
 'Tha investigations were limited to treatments that require only ono treating liquid and one handling of the wood. Compounds including zinc meta -arsenite, copper Ortho- arsentie, copper aceto-arsenite, cop per fluoride and copper basic chlo- ride were successfully used.
 Tt was found that wood rotting fungi may be inhibited by alkaline, or basic, substances. The fungus normally grows in an acidic envi- ronment and is itself ordinarily capable Of producing the required degree of acidity in its medium of growth. If the basic material Is present in concentrations beyond the capacity of the fungus to neu- tralize no growth takes place.
 Heavy petroleum was found to offer the best oil type base preser- vative for wood fin cases requiring Q waterproof coating and in addi- tion is much cheaper and appears to be more permanent than other solutions.
 The weather tests were made on wood treated with various pre- servativos. cut into small pieces and exposed in trays to the action of wind, sun and rain. Chemical analyses were made to determine the loss of conservatives caused by teaching, evaporation and oNida- ton. Toxicity tests were also made on the weathered wood to deter mine it's resistance to producing organisms.

Replace Bucket Brigade

! London.-The bucket brigade and
all other paraphernalia of the old
fashioned fire-fghting outfit at Buck
ingham palace is to be replaced By
up-to-date apparatus.
An ancient bell resembling those
used in the United States to call the
farm hands to meals already has dis
appeared and modern gongs operated
by electricity have been installed to
summon aid in event Of emergency.
Notwithstanding the antiquated fire.
prevention machinery long in use at
the kings town residence, the royal
palace has not had a serious blaze for
many years. This is attributed to
construction and the fact that the
building is guarded day and night.
The worst fire in the history of the
royal houses was in 1893, when White
hall palace was destroyed. A laun.
dress had placed lot of linen before
charcoal fire to dry and within
few hours the apartments Of King
William III, the privy council Office
and the Office Of the secretary Of
state had been destroyed.
