USE FIRE-KILLED TIMBER
Forest Service Discovers New Mate,
rial for Railroad Ties
Trees killed by forest fires are used
to a large extent now, though the pop
ular opinion is that timber of this char
acter is unfit for use.
Dead timber is -usually associated
¦with unsound and decayed wood. For
this reason it is hard for the average
person to believe that it is capable of
much use. In the west, however, there '
are many large tracts of fire-killed tim- :
ber which, owing- to dry climate and I
high elevations, are just as sound thirty i
years after as the day they were \
burned. J
One of the important uses made of I
dead timber is for railroad ties. It has j
been. found that the strength of the ,
timber has not been Impaired by the ,
fire-killing, while the durability has i
been often increased. Where these ties :
have been used along with green tim- '
ber ties they have shown up remark- j
ably well. In some cases they have ,
lasted much longer than ties of green ,
timber. • , . • *
Dead timber is used for this purpose •
in wholesale ¦ quantities in the Pike's
Peak National forest in Colorado, and
in a more limited way in other places.
That ties made of this material are of
known value is proven by the fact that
the price is the same as for green tim
ber ties. In quite a few places these
ties have been made as long ago as
fifteen years.
; Where the ties are known there is a
strong demand for them. One tie con
tractor had a contract for 75,000 and
could easily have doubled it had he
been able to get out the ties.
The government, through the forest i
service, is acting for the greatest econ- i
omy by disposing of this dead tie ma
terial before it becomes useless, as '
every dead tie that is sold saves that
much green timber to keep up the
future tie supply. i
Elliott Promotes
Levy
President Elliott of the Northern Pa- '
cific railway announced in an official ]
circular that C. M. Levy of Tacoma, j
third vice president of the Northern i
Pacific, would have his headquarters i
In St. Paul and that he would have '
charge of maintenance and operation
of all lines of the company. Under this
arrangement the general managers for
the eastern and western ends of the
lines will work directly under Mr. Levy.

Children cannot too soon begin to know

to look for each of the fifty widely dis
tributed common flowering plants; also
how they got their names and how to
know them from the remarkably accu

botanist and superior artist. These are
far superior to photographs for purposes
of identification from nature, and com
bine decorative effect with accuracy to
an extent never before found in a book
of this kind. This is a very strong state

even the most hasty examination. Each

publishers claim for it in the matter of
human interest and variety. It comprises
a complete novel, a serial, short stories.
essays and poetry, reviews of plays and
news of the latest books, surely broad
enough in scope to attract all sorts of
readers. This material is of a quality,
also to make the magazine a notable
The novelette is entitled "The Far
seeker," by Francis Metcalfe. It is full
of dramatic action, most or which takes
place on a private yacht, and is full of
life, color and the play of emotion, with
an intense climax. Horace A. Vachell's
serial story, "Her Son." 13 brought to
the conclusion which has tieen looked
forward to with eager anticipation by
thousands of Ainslee's readers. It has
turned out. as was predicted, an unusu
ally successful serial. Among the short
stories, one of the most striking is "The
Choice." by H. F. Prevost-Battersby, a
story of profound pathetic interest, which
will stir the reader as short stories rare
ly do.
The People's Magazine lor June con
tains as an opening number a complete
novel by Helen Tompkins, entitled "The
Guarded Room." This is essentially a
tale of mystery, so cleveny told that
there is a keen dramatic suspense until
the very end. The story deals with a
mysterious room which is guarded day
mid night, but behind the aoors of which
there is supposed to be imprisoned some
thing, beast or human, which contrives
to exist without food or communication
with the outside world. A capital love
story worms the central thread, and the
characters are drawn witfl a cleverness
of touch that marks the author as one
of the prominent members of the young
er school of writers. "The Guarded
Room" makes a satisfactory successor
to "The Mysterious Mission." which in
the preceding number of the People's
proved so popular a novel.
The Theatre magazine lor May is a
special number, a feature being made of
the Actors' fund fair at the Metropoli
tan opera house. The Iwup has several
added pages of reading matter and many
more pictures. The leading feature, of
course, is a detailed description of the
fair, illustrated with scenes of the fair
itself and pictures of those who have
contributed to make It a success. Among
other literary contributions Is an article
by Virginia Frame on theatrical bill
posters, this being Illustrated with fine
examples of decorative billboards. There
Is an interview with George Brondhurst,
the successful author of "Tne Man of the
Hour," in which he describes the evolu
tion of the dramatist. Another interest
ing article describes the renearsal of a
play with the great Rachel, this being
illustrated with rare portraits of the
great French tragedienne.
A popular and seasonable article in the
June Century is Charles D. Stewart's ac
count of "The I'nited States of Base-
Ball." a semi-humorous but careful and
detailed narrative of the status of the
national game In America; how the ma
jor and minor leagues are made up, and
much other information sirro to interest
intensely all boys and most men. Tbe

Coming from one of the greatest and
certainly the must phenomenal of living

Those who in their colleg-e courses
struggled with the history of Count
Wallenstoin under an Instructor in
German will find something more to
their liking In "Arrows of Ambition"
(why thus named it is Impossible to
say), a novel l>y Albert Frederick
Hoeliwalt. As a history In the fnrm of
a romance of the Thirty Years' War
the story is of little value, but Inter
esting side-lights are cast on the life
of Wullenstein, who had so much to do
with the making- of . German history.
The plot of the story lacks the dash
and spirit that have made other semi
historlcal novels "go." The hero, who
serves under Wallenstein, enters the
service with a mystery shrouding his
birth, meets a beautiful girl, wins her
love but almost loses her as the result
of a lovers' quarrel so senseless in
such superior beings that it borders on
the ridiculous. The sacrifice of the
"other girl," who loved In vain, clears
the atmosphere and unites the lovers
while the reader wonders how they
could have been so foolish.

7n these days of Boss Ruef and Fid
dler Bchmltz it Is refreshing to meet
the leader of a political machine who
is not a corruptionist. Through Wil
liam Marabell'B "The Wattersons," pub
lished by the author, we have made the
acquaintance of such an individual.
He is interesting in that he differs so
greatly from the political boss of real
life, but the author anticipates this
criticism by saying Watterson may
be a decade, or so nhead of his time.
As a story the book is not the kind
that will seize one in Its fascinating
grip and carry one along to forgetful
ness of all else, but as a characteriza
tion of the inhabitants of any small
town in the middle west, with Its
wealthy bankers, its gossiping mat
rons, its syc.hophantic minister and
other well known types. It is Interest
ing. The author asserts he is chronic
ling the movement that will ultimately
result In a change in society by which
women will be raised to men's intellec
tual standard and men to the standard
of morality attained by women. Thta
assumption — that women are not now
on the same, intellectual plane as men —
is likely to get the author into trouble,
— but strength of his sword-arm as re
vealed In the fierce attack he makes on
all publishers leads one to believe that
Marabell will be able to hold his own
in a tilt with the women.
The Metropolitan Magazine June
number is an excellent example of
what this magazine is doing. The
leading article. "Should We Keep
Cuba?" by Robert Howard Russell,
contains a description of the present
political and economical conditions in
the Inland, and the attitude of the
United States and other countries in
this delicate and all-Important matter.

ORPHEUM ACTOR
EATS LIGHTNING
INVESTIGATORS DON'T LEARN
VERY MUCH
Volta Gives a Private Performance
and Does Some Clever Tricks,
but Secrets Are Not
Revealed
"Is Volta a fake?"
This Is what every Orpheum patron
Is asking. No one seems to have the
answer.
Two doubters watched the perform
ance from . the wings of the Orpheum
stage last Friday afternoon. One was
an officer of the fire department not
Chief Walter Lips, but almost— and the
other a reporter for The Herald. They
saw it all at clos% range — and saw
nothing- more than could be seen from
the orchestra chairs.
After his act Volta gave a private
seance for the special benefit of the
two and by way of good measure
threw in a lecture on electricity.
"Of course you want to know, first
of all, what this machine is," said he,
indicating the immense buzzer which is
the most central feature of his stage
settings. "Well, that is Just the same
kind of thing as the nozzle of a garden
hose."
"If you put an inch hose without a
nozzle on the hydrant it will throw a
stream only a foot or two. Put on a
half-inch nozzle and the stream has
four times the force; with a quarter
inch nozzle the stream has nearly six
teen times as much.
Uses Transformer
"My apparatus is a transformer,
which increases tho force of the elec
tric current like the nozzle increases
the force of the current of water.
"The current supplied by the power
companies to the theater will give a
spark of about one-sixteenth of an inch.
My apparatus will make the same cur
rent Jump a spark of five inches. There
is nothing mysterious about this ap
paratus — every electrician can explain
its working. .'. .; - •
"To the transformer is attached a
rheostat, enabling my assistant to con
trol the strength of the current. At
the commencement of each experiment
he gives me a weak current, which is
gradually increased to the maximum
needed /or each experiment.
"This bracelet on my arm is con
nected to one pole of the transformer.
I approach my hand to the other pole.
I feel a slight tingling or pricking sen
sation as the spark Jumps across the
space."
Spark Increases
When Volta begins doing things he
stops talking. At this point he broke
off and his assistant took up the tale.
"That spark was Just one-fourth of
an inch. Now the current Is Increased
—the spark lengthens to one-half inch,
three-fourths, one inch, two, three, four
inches."
The assistant turned off the juice and
as Volta wiped the perspiration off his
hands 1.0 said: >
"Those powerful currents cause ex
actly the same sensation as tho weaker
ones. They are different in Just one
respect. They all give me a bad taste
in the mouth, like a copper penny, but
the stronger currents taste worse.
"Please examine this lamp. It is, as
you see, an ordinary thirty-two candle
power incandescent globe. To the cen
ter core of brass is attached an in
sulated wire connected with one of the
poles of the transformer. This outside
shall of brass with the screw thread is
the other pole of the lamp, which makes
the contact with the socket. Now I
will place the lamp in my mouth as
you would in a socket and switch on
the current." %
Is Human Electrolier
He suited the action to the -word and
became on the Instant a living electro
lier. " <: „.':
"A few days ago," said the assistant,
"one of the theater employes who is an
electrical expert boasted that he could
duplicate this trick. He wanted to use
his own lamp, though, and when he
tried to do it with the ordinary every
day incandescent he fell down. We
gave him a gentle current, not enough
to raise the faintest glimmer in the
lamp, but it paralyzed him so com
pletely that he could not raise his hand
to take the lamp from his mouth, and
his paws were set like a steel trap."
Then Volta showed his audience a
few more wonders and gave a short
talk on the folly of skepticism, con
cluding with these convincing words:
"Gentlemen, there is no deception. I
assure you. that what you have seen is
exactly what you saw."
But was it?
"There is no sleight of hand or other
trickery in my act. I allow you to ex
amine every piece of apparatus as
closely as you wish."
Just a Little Cautious
. This was true enough, but the aver
age "committee" does not care to get
very close to a live wire that is spit
ting six-inch jets of blue flame.
As the fireman and the reporter
talked over the matter they decided
that Volta was quite as much of a
mystery as before they saw him in
executive session. As the fireman said:
"Guess he gets the Juice through his
body all right— but that much would
kill a man, and he appears to be alive."
Which exceedingly logical conclusion
appears to be the answer but again,
perhaps it isn't. -.

NEVER SPOKE TO A MAN
FOR TWENTY-SEVEN YEARS
Special to The Herald.
SHOSHONI, Wyo., June 2. — Miss
Jennie E. Carroll, who died a few days
ago at the house of her sister near
Southpass City, had not, so far as was
known to those familiar with her life,
spoken to a ¦ man for twenty-seven
years.
She was forty odd years of age at
the time of her death, and ever since
she came to Wyoming eighteen years
ago had made her home with her sis
ter, Mrs. Ella Cobbler. She went there
with the understanding that she was
not to be required to speak to Mr.
Cobbler and did not do so, though he
lived two years after her arrival.
The story is that twenty-seven years
ago Miss Carroll was engaged to be
married to a young man in the east.
Guests ha assembled for the cere
mony at the home ¦of her mother, but
when the hour came, the young man
did not appear. Miss Carroll never
saw or heard from him afterward.
She took a vow that night, the story
runs, never again to speak to a man,
and kept it religiously to the day ol
her death.
• Before she died she requested her sis
ter to permit no men to attend her fu
neral, and, none did attend It. I

CONTRARY to expectation early in
the present season, mohairs are
very smartly worn, and coats of
thia material unlined make ideal gar
ments for automobile use or for travel
ing, since they shed dust perfectly and
are not easily mussed under the most
trying conditions. These are also water
proof, and are therefore impervious to
water and dust.
The "Prince Chap" type of suit is thc>
one most popular with the smartly
dressed women one sees here. The
pleated skirt is decidedly short, in most
cases, clearing by at least three inches,
oftener by four, and its trimming con
sists, in nine cases out of ten, of bias
stitched folds. These vary from one to
four or five, ffnd are spaced to suit the
height and figure of the wearer. Rajah
silk suits of this type have been and
still are very desirable. These sell at
from $25 to $35 in the plainer styles and
up to three figures in braided and em
broidered suits built on more ornate
lines.
Contrasting Collars and Cuffs
Contrasting collars, with or without
matching cuffs, are the rule. These may
be of velvet or of linen or taffeta. The
touch of contrasting color is decidedly
pretty, and where the scheme is carried
out by the use of the same shade in
the parasol, hat, gloves and other acces
sories the effect is excellent. Latterly
one sees mohair suits made in much the
same fashion, and as these are both
more durable and novel than the silk
weaves they are reckoned just now
most desirable.
About this time some hat usually
emerges from the melee of styles as pre
eminently the choice of the younger
women an* girls. This year it is the
Empire sailor that is to the fore for
wear with tailored suits of all ma
terials. The crown is medium high and
FICKLE PUP LOCKED
IN POLICE STATION
Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, June 2.— Charged with
disorderly conduct, a near-Scotch collie
dog answering to any old name, which
was locked up in the West Thirtieth
street station Sunday, has furnished
a continuous performance for the po-
Kcemen. The canine culprit is regis
tered as Prince, alias Ben, and his
failure to remember his owner has
caused a fine row between Patrick Mc-

Kennedy was walking up Sixth ave

came McCoy.
"That's my dog," shouted McCoy.
"Forget it," said. Kennedy, keeping
on his way.
"I won't forget it and I won't allow
you to," said McCoy and then there
was some language. A crowd had
gathered around the trio when a po
liceman arrlvec and escorted the out
fit to the station. On the way the par
ties to the disputation over the dog
kept up a warm conversation.
"I can tell him by his tail," said
Ifennedy.
"I could tell him without his head
or his tail; here Benjamin," broke in
McCoy.
Ben trotted over to McCoy's side,
but left willingly when Kennedy called
Prince. Then Mrs. McCoy and Sallle

tered the station, and the dog climbed
1 :.ll over them to show his afection.

! CAT FARM BRINGS
IN LARGE PROFITS
I
. Special to The Herald.
CLEVELAND, June 2.— Brutus Mc
r Conolog's cat farm, started as a jest,
, has opened up a new field for money
t making. The owner says that his
profits for the last season amounted
. to $4326. He is now planning to ex
. tend the farm and double the output.
Owning some barren land along tho
shores of the lake, Mr. McConolog 1
i erected a few buildings and stocked
the place with white cats, his object
round the brim, quite narrow in front,
widens out to ample proportions at the
back khere it droops a little. The trim
ming consists of a very full bow of
handsome ribbon or of hemmed sl!k.
The center of the bow is directly in the
front ami is often finished with a
rosette. Handsome large hat pins that
contrast are the only other trimming In
most instances, though occasionally
cherries, crab apples or mock orangf-s
form a sort of fringe that extends part
way over the brim at the back of the
hat only.
Wings and Ostrich Feathers
For similar wear many women past
20 prefer smaller hats, that set closer to
the head, or at any rate don't sweep out
in such pronounced fashion behind.
Wings are the trimming best liked for
these. Of the "made" variety, these
wings can be bent into any shape to
suit the hat, and the wearer and the
huge hatpins aid in these trimmings
also. Ribbon often forms the sole and
sufficient garniture for hats intended
for the hard usage inseparable from
motoring and traveling. Ostrich feath
ers show no sign of losing ground; in
fact a leading store has marked this
stock up no less than three times since
Easter.
Face veils of Tuxedo nets, plain or
dotted, match the hat trimmings
usually. Brown is the most popuar
color, and the long veil of washable
chiffon is a necessity for every one
whose headwear is exposed to the dust
of railways or country roads. Veils of
net or chiffon with pleated edges or
those trimmed with lace of matching
color, are made up In squares that are
intended to be thrown loosely over the
hat and hang free from the face, ac
cording to the French fashion. Here
most women draw them in at the back
of the coiffure with some sort of a hand
some pin. ROSALIND MAY.
being to palm oft the skins of the
kittens as ermine. This was not much
of a success, but he found a ready
market for the fur of the old cats,
hatters declaring it was the very thing
they were looking for.
Discarded flsh from the lake, scraps
of meat and corn meal are used for
feeding, and since cats are light eaters
the cost of maintaining them Is not
heavy.
Three crops of ' kittens are raised
each year, and when they are half
grown the animals are killed by gas,
and the skins sent to the hat factories.
By a careful system of breeding, Mr.
McConolog hopes to rear a cat that
will yield half a pound of fur, and thus
double his profits.

INDORSE CIVIC
MUSEUM IDEA
DR. BARTLETT'S SUGGESTION
MEETS APPROVAL
Picturesque, Parklike Approaches to
Passenger Depots Predicted— Civic
Alcove Recommended for
Public Library
Rev. Dar.a Bartlett of Bethlehem In
stitution is already in receipt of let
ters and messages congratulating him
on his suggestion made before the City
club Saturday that a museum be es
tablished here where all devices, draw
ings, books, charts, models, mlniaturea
and similar Inventions which make
city life pleasant and more healthful
may be kept on view and for study
Dr. Bartlett hopes to see Los An
geles establish a civic center near
which all public buildings will bo
grouped.
One of the important object lessons
which such a museum would show is
the plans in plaster of paris for civic
centers adopted or suggested for other
large cities. Washington, Cleveland,
Kansas City, Denver and San Fran
cisco have such work well advanced,
the plans contemplating a scale of
growth for generations. Other cities
are falling in line.
In all of them the idea of making
the passenger depots part of this cen
tral plan seems to be growing popular.
Instead of having passenger trains
enter the cities hy alleys. Industrial
and waste districts, it has been de
cided by the modern civic architects
that the best route should be chosen.
Dr. Bart'.ctt thinks Los Angeles should
some day lino its train routes with
trees, flower beds and parks.
Impressions fostered by such depot
approaches will be profitable all
around, and the only necessity to
bring about this condition is cash. The
time will come, civic students say,
when safe crossings, smokeless loco
motive chimneys and other devices will
rob depots of all their present objec
tions. They will then be surrounded by
a better class of Improvements in the
way of permanent buildings, too.
As a preliminary step, Dr. Bartlett
favors that a civic alcove be estab
lished in the public library where all
books on civic betterments may be
made easily accessible. This subject
will probably be brought before the li
brary board by members of the City
club.
