1t will open q fifth entrance to the

From Red Lodge the highway rises

The new road, easily accessible to
visitors from North, South and East,
will enter the park near Its northeast

At two points the highway reaches
n 200 feet above sea level and from
these points of vantage more than

Beavers Natural Engineers
In Creating Beneficial Dams

LAKEvTW, Greg, December "a
Pictures of massive concrete walls,
huge steel girders, ponderous steam
shovels and q mighty engineering
force fash through the mind when
dams are thought Of. But here they're
doing 1t differently.
Sleek-haired, round little creatures
with beady, nervous eyes, amazing
teeth and q paddle for tail, are being
sent to these engineering jobs on small
creeks in Lake County.
They are beavers, to whom elabor-
ate if elementary engineering Is an
instinct. They are being trapped in
baskets and moved to watersheds to
work for the benefit of man.
On one stream, for example, beavers
are being put to work to insure per-
petuation Of fish life and to provide
water for stock during the late Sum-
mer months.

the many small dams the little ami
mails build have vanished with the
years. With astonishing dexterity the
beavers fall small trees into creeks,
steer the logs to Q damsite and mold
the dam into shape with small sticks
and liberal plastering Of mud. In
these dams the beavers have their
homes. Water piles up for q con-
siderable distance behind the colonies.
And creeks, filled high in the Winter
by flood waters, have no chance to
tear rampant over the countryside,
or to carve great gashes in the val
leys.
The work here is being carried on
as one phase of the cooperative mas
ter plan of the Biological Survey, the
Fremont National Forest and the
Lake County Chamber Of Commerce.
The plan has three main objectives:
To insure q sustained yield of timber
from the forests Of the county, preser-

Bureau of Mines Expert to
Explain Device at

By the Associated Press,


PITTSBURGH, December 22.-The
disastrous fires that sometimes rage
in coal mines are always shocking
but now science has found q way to
shock the fires.
DR.. Bernard Lewis, explosives ex-
pert Of the United States Bureau of
Miness explained today how he hurs
1000 volts Of electricity into q tube
OF flaming gas and phuttl-there is no
fire.
Preparing to elucidate his device
before the meeting Of the American
Association for the Advancement of
Science in Pittsburgh next week, DR.,
Lewis has built test apparatus which
duplicates conditions in q gaseous
mine.
Molecules Rent Apart.
When the electricity is sent into
the tube, the blazing gas Ia extin-
guished because the high voltage
tends to rend apart the molecules
which have been electrically charged
by heat Of the fire, DR.. Lewis ex-
planned.
In q flame many electrically
charged molecules are formed as a re-
suit Of the high temperature. When
you remove the charged molecules the
flame goes out.
when the high voltage is turned
into the tube the flame moves toward
the negative electrode, the positive
charged molecules are being removed u
If the doctor wants to make gas
ignite more quickly he can just re-
verse the process.
Electrically charged molecules are
shot into the gas In another tube by
passing q powerful spark through the
non-combustile elements, then the gas
will explode at q much lower tempera-
ture than ordinarily.
In fact, the combustible mixture ig-
mites at temperature about 460 de-
grees Fahrenheit below its usual igni-
ton point" Bernard explained.
