C.--Experiments in the making of "artificial" lumber are arobsing increasing interest among government officials and leaders In the lumber industry. Although none of the product has bean marketed, officials in the National Lumber Manufacturers' association declare that tests already made of a synthetic composition produced by Minnesota lumber interests show U possesses many qualities making it available for structural purposes. The experiments are based on somewhat the same principle as that employed- In the manufacture of paper from wood pulp. In the process not only the trunks and branches of young trees, but the leaves and smaller parts as well are ground up and mixed with other substances, virtually eliminating waste. The resulting compound is capable of being molded into Bizes and shapes of almost any description need- In building. Adds to Timber Resources. Officials of the Lumber Manufacturers' association declare that If a practical method of thft sort can be perfected the result may be to revolutionise the entire lumber industry. Aside 6*m utilizing the present great waste in converting trees into usable lumbar. they say, it presents a solution to the manufacturer's problem of finding sufficient material in the country's _ rapidly diminishing timber resources. BVom the time the standing tree la turned by the sawmill into planks and boards and applied In construction from 60 to 65 per cent has been wasted. This includes stumps, chips, bark and branches, plank and log trimmings and a huge amount of sawdust. The new method will use all of this. Fifty Years Between Crop*. Timber owners find that in from fifteen to twenty years they can grow crops of spruce that will be suitable for the pulp and paper mills, whereas It would take from fifty to one hundred years to grow a crop that w$$id meet the requirements of the lumberman. According to the manufacturers' association, tests have shown the artificial lumber to have a satisfactory tensile strength and to be capable of being sawed, planed and nailed. "*o that the product lacks only the charms of the grain effects of natural wood. Officials of the forestry service, while declaring they had not yet been assured the strength of the artificial boards equals that of the natural ones, believe they wouid be useful for many purposes. One of their strong points, it Is said at the forestry service, is their waterproof qualities and insulation againat beat aad-«olArlf£ A pup can howl longer "than In eat Can yowl, and with much less reason.

WILL MEET IN AUSTRALIA America to Have Nine Delegates to International Convention. Chicago.--American working women will be represented by nine delegates to the next congress of the International Federation of Working Women, which will meet this year at Schoenbrunn castle, near Vienna, Austria, August 14-21. This announcement was made from the American headquarters of the-international Federation in Chicago, which Is tjie headquarters of the international president, Mrs. Raymond Robins. - The Schoenbrunn meeting will be the third biennial congress of the International Federation of Working Women, which was organized In Washington in October, 1919. S<?hoenbrunn castle was once the summer residence of the emperor of Austria. The purpose of the International Federation of Working Women, ma stated by its officers,-Is "to uplte organized working women in order to raise the standard of life of women "workers throughout the world. The federation aims to prpmote trade union organization among women; to develop an International policy giving special attention to the needs of women and children; to examine closely all projects for legislation proposed by the International Labor conference; to promote the appointment of women to represent organized working women In all organisations and committees dealing with questions affecting the welfare of workers." - * Tbe American delegates to the International congress, who will represent the National Women's Trade Union league, the American organization which is affiliated with the International Federation of Working Women, will be Mrs. Raymond Robins of Chicago.

Few .people In Brownsville realise the volume of business which flows through "Snakevlile." They daily see scores of boxes labeled "Dangerous Reptiles; Handle With Care," leave and enter the express office, but It Is an accustomed-grown sight. Dozens of Mexican snake catchers are required to keep the stream of reptiles moving into King's pens. "I have never charged a cent for the poison crystals, nor do I ever expeot to charge anyone for the antitoxin," King states. "I have saved the poison and crystallized it for the benefit of science, and I have the antitoxin for the benefit of anyone bitten by a rattlesnake. "Scientists throughout the world have asked me for crystals, and I have never faited to respond, provided I was assured they were to be used for legitimate scientific purposes only." It Is a curious fact, King points out, that the poison used to produced the antitoxin works well only when It comes from the family of snakes from which the bite has come. In the case of » rattlesnake bite. King asserts, the serum used Is made from the blood of a horse Inoculated with rattlesnake poison injected into the blood as near and as soon after the bite as possible. ' Sends Crystals to Brazil.

Sittr After Being Sentenced for Slapping U. S. Agent Atlanta, Ga.--A year's sentence in the Atlanta federal penitentiary for striking an Inspector of the United States Internal revenue department may assure the political future of R. V. Bray, Jr., mayor of Beaufort, S. C. Bray was elected after he had been sentenced chiefly, It is said, because of the year in prison which lay ahead of him.. He will continue as mayor during his twelve months in the penitentiary, with a mayor pro tem serving actively in his place. When the sentence is completed he will return to take over the reins of government. Appeals to Harding. Mayor Bray was convicted in Jane of 1922 before Judge H. A. H. Smith of the United States District court in Charleston, S. C. The case was appealed to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, and finally taken to President Harding In an effort to get a pardon for the official. When these efforts failed, after a year's time had elapsed, during which he had been elected mayor. Bray prepared to begin his twelve months' imprisonment. He Is the only acting mayor ever numbered among the prisoners of the Atlanta penitentiary. On Jan. 30, 1922, Harold Smith, a federal revenue Inspector, was Investigating details connected with the estate of the late George Waterhouse, a wealthy citizen of Beaufort. Waterhouse was Bray's father-in-law, and the latter was manager of the estate. According to testimony submitted at the trial, an argument sprang up between Inspector Smith and Bray. In the course of which Bray said. "There Is no' use for me to answer any more questions; yon don't believe what I say." In reply, Inspector Smith was quoted as saying: "You forget, Mr. Bray, that I have the authority to make you taHc." • Whereupon Mr. Bray, If was testified, struck him. Charged Personal Insult. At the trial Bray's defense was that the Inspector had Implied that he was lying; and that ho had simply resented a personal insult and had not meant in any way to interfere with tbe gov- -r ..i )1iuh eminent. The Jury, in returning a verdict of guilty, recommended leniency. Judge Smith passed sentence and months went by during which the case v-as appealed, finally reaching President Harding. United States Senator N. B. Deal of South Carolina and Gov. Thomas Mc- Leod ar« among those who urged clemency for trie mayor. It Is reported that Secretary Denby of the Navy department, with whom Bray Is acquainted, spoke in his behalf. Before he left for the prison Mayor Bray said: "This is the first time I have ever been in a difficulty like this. I have always been a loyal citizen of the United States, and always will be. My friends all know that in my difficulty with the revenue inspector I took pesonal exception to his words, and that it was far from my mind to Interfere In any way with the government "I am going to prison with my head up, and I shall come out the same way." A delegation of Beaufort citisens accompanied their mayor to Charleston when he started for prison.

Pittsburgh, Pa.--A little piece of steel mechanism in Machinery ball, Carnegie Institute of Technology, defies all hitherto known laws In mechanical engineering and demonstrated tbe harnessing and application of a mechanical power apparently never before known. The little power maker was simply a section of a cased shaft. The driving end of the shaft, turned by a fivehorsepower motor, was speeded up to 17,000 revolutions a minute. The other end of the shaft was turning at the rate of only five revolutions an hour and developing power which It had been Impossible to measure. It has been tested up to the lift of twelve tons. All this miracle In reduction In speed and gain of power is accomplished in a single gear unit. The new principle makes it possible to do away with all the complicated trains of gears In automobiles, hoists, air compressors, rock breakers, belt conveying machines, elevators, mechanical stokers, metal shearing and punching machines and all others where the main shafting or drive la run at high speed. In Its simplest form the new "gear"- does not have a single cogwheel ' One end of the driving -shaft is spigoted into the end of the driven shaft turning free in It on ball bear> Ings. Instead of resting in a Journal, this driving or high-speed shaft on Its outside circumference turns between three or four rollers, one or two of which are larger than the others. These rollers roll on the inside of a steel ring, slightly off center. As the inner rollers turn on the high speed shaft the outer ring becomes the driving gear. The difference In the diameters of the parts establishes tbe rate of reduction In speed and Increase in power. npai. • I®"* rrntion and new gaM* book, 'How to QMiinM"C Mat free.

Idaho.--This little agricultural community has consented to plans for Its removal to a new tewnslte, as the result of negotiations by representatives of the United States "overnment. The present site, according to plans, will be innndated. together with 83,000 acres surrounding It to make way fer The construction of the gigantic American Falls reservoir. Authorization of plans to build the reservoir, which will be the largest In the United States and the fourth largest in the world, with a capacity of 1,(500.000 acre feet of water, was given at a recent special election in tbe American Falls Irrigation district. The district embraces approximately 500.- U00 acres. Tbe cost of the is estimated at fl2jOQO.OOa The floor of the reservoir will contain 83,000 acres when the project Is extended to the full capacity of 3.000.- 000 acres. All preliminaries have been based on the maximum reservoir. The estimated cost of $12,000,000 Includes all preliminaries, including foundation, moving the town of American Falls, the railroad, etc. The height of the dam for the 'American Falls townslte unit will be 75 feet. Addition of 20 to 25 feet will double the capacity, or make the reservoir 8,000,000 acre-feet, at the relatively ginall cost, according to officials, of between $3,000,000 and $4,000,000. The benefits of the project will extend to all South Idaho, and a general stimulation of business In all lines, notably agriculture, will result. There will be ouly three comparable reservoirs, one on the Euphrates, one on the Nile and the one created by tbe Gatun dam at Panama, Irrigation project. ;.
