Super Hosepipe Used
by Malay Tin "Miners'

One of the most extraordinary
ways of extracting metals from the
body of this world of ours is that to
be seen in the tin mines Of the Ma
= lay States. With the exception of
precious metals, such as gold, silver,
platinum and radium, tin is now the
most valuable in the world. Often
the tin-bearing ground rises cliff-like
from the plain. Mining is then car
ried out not by orthodox methods,
but with the help Of super hose
pipe. This hose throws a thin jet of
water at pressure of more than 200
pounds to the square inch. Until one
has seen such jet it is almost i'm
possible to realize what it is like.
The strongest man, for instance.
could not cut through the jet near
the nozzle of a hose with a heavy
sword. If he tried, a broken blade,
and probably a broken arm, would
result. The jet is directed against
the face of the cliff, Which crumbles
away almost as If it has been blown
up by dynamite.

Forced fresh air ventilation for

Successful farming means that the

Alfalfa and sweet clover will build

More than four hundred million hens
live on American farms. Some of them
lay, some lie, some sit and hatch a
brood of chicks, and some just set.
Spring housekeeping in the brood

be cut with moving machine having

Feed Cod Liver Oil to
Increase Production

For increasing egg production, Sc
curing of finer texture shell on eggs
and raising chicks of great vitality,
use cod liver oil in the ration for hens.
is the advice of Iowa State college
poultrymen.
Cod liver oil contains the vitamin
D which birds get from the sunlight
during the winter months. Influence
of the cod liver oil upon the hatch
ability of eggs is still an open ques-
ton but one which is being studied in
many places.
In purchasing cod liver oil poultry
men are advised to get that which is
vitamin-tested and guaranteed. Un-
tested oils may contain impurities and
be low in vitamins.

Requeening for
Better Colonies
Good Time to Plan for In
creased Number Of
Young Insects. #

Now is good time to put good
young queen bee into each colony,
suggests +. B. Meacham, entomologist
at State college. This will insure a
good number Of young bees for the
winter and rapid building up of the
colony next spring.
"Where black or hybrid bees are
zept, a new Italian queen will change
:llem into Italian colonies in two or
two and half months" states Mr..
Meacham." ut is best to get the new
queens as near home as possible so as
20 avoid the long confinement in ship
nent."
Find Old Queen.
In introducing new queen into
colony, the bees accept her best when
we'll fed. The old queen and queen
cells should be destroyed. The old
queen can he found by carefully look
ing over the combs, by smoking and
drumming the bees into an empty
super. A queen excluder should then
pc slipped underneath the super and
the bees smoked back. The queen
will he found trying to get through
the excluder. After she is found and
destroyed the hive is assembled as be-
fore. Where bees are inclined to rob
each other, it is best to requiem late
In the afternoon so that night will
stop any robbing that has started.
Rob Hives Too Close.
NJ. Meacham states that it is COM
mon practice among many beekeepers
to "rob" the hives too close for best
results. Each colony should have at
least fifteen pounds of honey always
On hand and where this is not left,
the colony either dies during the win
ter or comes out in the spring too
weak to store any surplus honey. Do
not depend on the summer and fall
honey plants to furnish this winter
supply as in many cases these plants
yield very little honey, he states.

Gold Production Not
Equal to the Demand

A gold shortage is threatening the
world. The peak of gold production
was reached in 1915, totaling $780,
100000. Since then it has gradually
dropped until last year only $415,-
100000 worth was produced. No im-
portant fresh discoveries have been
made in recent years and old fields
are gradually being worked out.
There is plenty of gold in the world
for all normal purposes but so much
of it is boarded away in the form of
money in banks and as jewelry by
wealthy families.
India has absorbed vast quaint
ties Of the worlds gold, being hoard
ed by it's petty princes and used fol
dowries, bridal gifts, etc. Twice the
amount of gold is being used in jew
elry today as compared with 20 years
ago.-Capper's Weekly. ~--

Americas Gold Producer

Ontario can still boast Americas
richest gold producer in it's rightly
famous HoIlinger mine inasmuch as
that mine has yielded. up to the end
of 1925, gold to the value of $l45,-
100000. The production of so much
gold has entailed the mining and
the milling of 17.000,000 tons of ore.
The Hollinger's present subsurface
workings, if placed end to end, would
reach from New York to Albany and
a little beyond, a distance of nearly
$50 miles. and it's underground rail-
road system has length of more
than 81 miles.

Cabbage Disease

A common complaint concerning
cabbage is that although it may ap-
pear to start off well, its growth slows
up and following and whiting take
place, and the plants finally die, at
what should be heading time. The
trouble is likely the "yellows" disease.
This is soil trouble found usually in
old gardens, and it's only control is to
use varieties which do not 'take" the
disease. There are yellows resistant,
all seasons, iacope and marion market.

servation to collect and preserve this
last bird for science, it has been al
lowed to live it's normal life among
the scrub oaks on the sandy plains of
Martha's Vineyard Island.
"The bird continued to visit the
farm of James Green, West Tisbury,
during the early spring of 1929, and
was reported as late as May IL. After
that date, as was the custom of the
heath hen in the past, this individual
disappeared among the dense scrub
oaks to live in seclusion during the
summer months. In October, after
going through the ordeal Of moulting,
it again appeared at the Green farm
to announce to the world that it was
still alive.
1T was seen at irregular intervals
during the winter, and since the first
warm days of March it has made daily
visits to the traditional booming
field, the old meadow along the state
highway between Edgartown and West
Tisbury, in place less than hun
dred yards distance from Mr.. Green's
house.
Almost simultaneously with the an
nouncement that the heath hen was
traversing the last mile of it's road
to extinction came the news also that
the supposedly extinct passenger
pigeon had staged Comeback" At
least two Michigan men, Robert H.
Wright, Munising publisher, and DIR.
Samuel R.. Landes of Traverse City,
both of whom knew the passenger
pigeon in the days of its abundance,
declare that within recent months
they have seen passenger pigeons in
northern Michigan. Wright, his wife
and son declare that from distance
of 10 feet they saw two adult pigeons
sitting in the road near Munising, and
Doctor Lapdes and his brother state
that they saw a flock of approximate
ly fifteen between Kokomo, Ind, and
Indianapolis, while driving from Flor
ida to Michigan.
William B. Mershon of Saginaw,
one of Americas leading authorities
on the subject, and Prof. Norman
A. Wood of the University of Mich
igan say there is not the remotest
chance for the survival of a single
passenger pigeon. Reports have long
been received of the pigeons presence
in various localities. but investiga-
ton has proved the observers mis-
taken. Usually the psuedo e"passen-
ger pigeon" was found to be a mourn
ing dove, or the band-tailed pigeon
from the West.
The determination of the passenger
pigeon was accomplished even more
swiftly than that of the heath hen.
The state of Michigan was their prin-
cipal nesting grounds and their rock
cries in the northern part of that
state covered dozens of square miles
with as many as hundred nests,
each occupied by one or two squads,
in single tree. The farmers con-
sidered them pest and the slaughter
of the birds which. began in the six
ties reached its high tide in the sew
enties, when the commercial POSSIBLE
tiles of the birds were realized.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1930-07-04

No one took steps to regulate the
slaughter, for the supply was con-
sidered unlimited. No matter how
many thousands or even millions were
killed, the enormous flocks still
streamed out of the South in April.
They still darkened the sun-broke
the branches from trees by their
weight. Their rookeries still filled
the woods. Then shortly after 1880
the pigeons suddenly disappeared.
Pigeons were observed near Cadil-
lac in 1888, but disappeared month
after their arrival. They were traced
northward as far as Oden, Emmett
county, and are presumed to have
crossed the straits Of Mackinaw into
the Upper Peninsula or Ontario. Aft
er 1883 no large flocks were seen any
where, and the appearance of single
bird was considered worthy of men,
ton in scientific journals.
Another American bird which is
now extinct-and has been for near
ly hundred years-iS the great aux.
1t was different from any other Amer
lean bird, in that it could not fly,
although it had great powers of swim
ming and diving. It's native habitat
was the coast and islands of the
North Atlantic and from the first ar
rival of white men ON the shores of
the New World they proved upon
these birds, seeking out, their eggs
for food and killing the birds for
their feathers. The slaughter of the
defenseless birds went on for more
than two centuries when it .was sud
denly discovered that the great aux
was all but eXterminated. The last
specimens, male and female, were
killed on Fire Island off the south
western coast of Iceland in the North
Atlantic on June 3, 1914, by the crew
of a sloop which visited the island
for a cargo of meat and feathers of
other seafowl which inhabited the
place. Today either mounted speci-
mems or eggs of the great aux COM
mand huge sums whenever, which is
a rare occurrence, they are offered for
SALE 1t is estimated that there are
about 20 eggs in existence today while
the number of skins or mounted spe-
cimens does not exceed eighty.
The great aux and the passenger
pigeon are extinct. The heath hen is
nearing extinction. And not far be-
hind it on the road to oblivion, in
spite of all the efforts that have been
made to preserve them, are other spe-
cies. Notable among these are the
majestic trumpeter swan, which is to-
day q rarity even in zooG, and the
snowy egret, which is all but extinct
because its dorsal plumage in the
breeding season furnishes the much
sought aigrette for the ornamentation
of women's hats. And so widespread
has been the destruction of our ma
tional bird, the bald eagle, that only

congress forbidding the killing of an
eagle, except when it is caught attack

Uses Surgery to Treat
 Tuberculosis Patients

PITTSBURGH, June 13. = Sur gerry is used here with some suc- cess in the treatment of serious cases of tuberculosis, according to Dr. Howard Marcy, medical direc- tor of the Tuberculosis Hospital.
 The basis of the operation is to permit the diseased lung to heal by giving it rest, it having been found that the motion of a lung in normal operation irritates the ul- cers produced in it by disease In some cases the diseased organ is rendered permanently imperative, but in all instances, the operations are not attempted unless the re- maining lung is thought capable of sustaining the whole burden of breathing.
 Critical cases, Dr. Marcy con- tinued, are treated by removal of sections of Il ribs on the side of the diseased lung, resulting in the permanent destruction of the lung, but without any deformity resulting to the patient, since the

 It is a laugh riot from beginning to end, with occasional dramatic high spots in which Rogers reveals himself not only as a comedian, but as an emotional actor of un- usual power.
 Rogers is supported by a splen- did cast which includes the charm ing and talen d Marguerite Churchill, the sparkling and artful Eff Dorsay, Owen Davis, Jr., Irene Rich, Rex Bell, Ivan Lebedeff and Theodore Lodi.
 Rogers enacts the role of Pike Peters, the happy and contented owner of a garage in Clearwater, Oklahoma, until his oil well comes in and he is made rich. His real troubles begin when his wife in- sists on going abroad. Father, mother, son and daughter make the trip in grand style, and, once in the foreign atmosphere, the am- bilious Mrs. Peters is determined to marry her daughter, Opal, to a utle.
 Mrs. Peters buys her way into so- ciety but encounters no end of trouble in educating Pike to her grand ideas. The limit is reached when Marquis de Coudray attempts to tap Pike for half Q million dol lars as compensation for marrying Opal.

LONDON-A symphony concert orchestra from the Land of Jazz has just conquered all Europe!
 Led by the eminent conductor, Arturo Toscanini, the New York Philharmonic Orchestra's foreign tour has been greeted in all the great musical capitals over here with a wild acclaim, absolutely un- known in recent concert history.
 All the centers of old-world cul- ture-Milan, Rome, Paris, Berlin, Vienna and London-have placed their stamp of approval upon the American organization as the most distinguished classical orchestra in the world
 In London, King George and Queen Mary were in the audience ,of 10000 persons that listened in breathless awe to the matchless performance given by the New York group. All present seemed electrified at the perfection of the players response to the great maes- tro's command. Historic Albert Hall rocked with thunderous applause after the rendition of each num- her.
 The Philharmonic concerts in Berlin, were received with a mad enthusiasm that has not been heard since the great musical days before the World War.
 In Milan, where years ago Tos- canini first became famous as lead CT of the illustrious La Scala Opera Orchestra, the occasion of his re- turn was the subject of continued cheers and shouts of "Bravo!"
 The vast crowds that hailed the orchestra in Rome, proved that even in the patriotic Eternal City, art knows no nationality.
 Some time ago Toscanini left Italy because he refused to play the Fascist hymn in one of his Milan Opera Orchestra concerts. The great leader was reported as having told Mussolini that the piece destroyed the harmonious effect of his programme and consequently, though a loyal Fascist, he would not play it.
 But this was forgotten when the
