PREPARING TURF FOR FUEL; New Method, Said to Have Originated ' In Rueoia, May Result in Reliev ing Shortage. A new method of drying turr to re- j lleve the serlouB fuel shortage in Fin- j land has been put in operation in varl- j ous Scandinavian countries. The new \ method was invented by engineers j working under orders from the Una-! slan soviet government, to find a more labor-saving method of preparing turf as fuel for the great centra) i?o\vcr sta tion near Moscow, the process being j made known in Finland through an es caping engineer. The fundamental principle of the process is quite slm pie. The raw turf in the swamp, by a powerful Jet of water under a pressure 1 of 20 atmospheres, is freed from all old roots and changed to thin mud. This is pumped out on a drying field and spread In layers. When sufficient-| ly dry it Is cut into brioks of uniform ; size by meaus of a tractor. The turf pump is constructed like an ordinary water turbine, is reversible with aid of i electric motor, is equipped with a cut-! ting apparatus which completes the work of the water jet, and can be raised or lowered as the surface of the I mud varies. The entire equipment is mounted on a car which can be pushed forward or backward on rails along the Hue of work.?Scientific American. Convicted by the Bible. Law founded on the Bible is good i enough for Mayor Gilmore of Morgan- J town, W. Va. A local man charged with not hav- j ing the tail light burning on his auto-; mobile was arraigned before the may-I or, who assessed a fine of $3. The accused protested, said it was! a poor law under which he was fined : and that he did not think it would hold ' water In court. The mayor declared any law found- i ed on the Bible was. good enough for him. The defendant said he couldn't see where a tail light had anything to J do with the Bible. The mayor looked ! pityingly at the accused, and said: "Do you remember the tale about the ten virgins, five of whom had lights ; and five of whom didn't? Well, if you : iln wnn 'will r?m?mhi>r thnt the I-orrl wouldn't have anything to do with the i five without lights, and neither will this court" i | Cotton Stalks Will Furnish Paper, j The possibilities of cotton stalks as ! a source of paper have lopg been sus-' pected and experiments in this direc tion have been made, but for one rea-1 son or another it has never proved! quite practical. The nearest approach to success has ! been made recently, and It is an nounced that there is a plant at Greenwood, Mass., where 50 tons of paper are made every day from three times that amount of stalk. Certain thin tubular fiber in the! plant will make excellent cellulose for j durable papers. It is strong end flex-: lble. If a quarter of the annual sup-: ply of the cotton stalks of the South j were put to thl? use each year tkere | would be no need of a paper shortage in this country. i Reservation for Aborigines. ! The commonwealth of Australia has: taken steps for the preservation of the i aborigines of that country and has as-j signed a tract of public lands in the I northern territories as reservation for] the tribes.

"TACTIUSM" THE LATEST ART Pleturee Can Be by Tmitk, It Declaration Made by Inventor cf New Fad. Among the things that "hare their day and eoatse to he," artistic extrav agances hold a prominent place. The wild vagaries of impreaaioniRts, cu bist* and futurists one by one eclipse What has g4ne before. . "Tactillsm" is the came ef a new "art" invented by Signor Marinetti, the Italian futurist, who, recently, te a large audience ef painters, art critic* and society people in Paris, explained Its principles. It is a method ?f con veying impressions through the tense of touch, "wbich bat hitherto been neglected by the arta." Ifarinetti told bow he bad tried to establish a series of conventions, which could be easily learned, by which different touches would bring faith definite ideas. For Instance, something rough, spiky and hot to the touch would give the idea of tip Sahara. The seas would be conjured up by something smooth and cold, like silver paper, and Paris by a mixture of silk and velvet. It la an evidence of the readiness of tbe day to take up anything new that this adventur ous futurist pioneer is now the lion of tbe season. He Intends to be In Paris for some weeks, but baa already re ceived so many invitations to attend fashionable receptions and evening parties that he confesses that he hard ly knows hew to cram in all his ap pointments. DESIGNED TO UPHOLD WEIGHT Elephant's Foot Is Enormous, Even Whan Compared With ths fixe of ths Beast. That twice around an elephant's foot equals lis height seems almost in credible, yet such is the fact, and a little reflection will show you that it is not so wonderful as it appears to be. Things are large 01* small, comparatively, and if we could see tbe foot of an elephant by itself, it would present a far different appear ance as to size front what it gives when overshadowed by the mountain of flesh it supports. The elephants lu tbe Indian commissariat being di f/v i)An i] i Ha fA Ka cicu atvuiuiiig lv nirifciit icvjui**; iv measured annually to determine the amount of food to which they are en titled. At present this is do&e by means of the ordinary standard with crossbar on top, but formerly it was done by placing a rope around the ani mal's forefoot close to the ground, and multiplying the length so obtained by two. This measurement generally gives a quarter of an inch or so more, but never less ilian the exact height. Use of Peat as Fuel. Few have realized that peat might replace coal aud break to a large ex tent tbe dependence of some of the northern, states upon distant coal mines. For several mouths a Minneapolis company has been engaged In the prep aration of peat for fuel, said to be the j only enterprise of its kind in the coun-: try. A machine has been perfected that digs, macerates and spreads out to dry; 700 tons of wet peat in a day, or a j quantity sufficient to produce 100 tons of dry fuel. That's how much peat i contracts iu the drying process. One j man operates the machine. During the summer the machine was j operated on a bog near Minneapolis. ( and peat, processed at the University 1 of Minnesota, was burned with satis-j factory results in a Minneapolis office building. A crusher plaut, with a capacity of j 500 tons of peat a day, has been built. in Minneapolis during the winter to' prouuce powuereu peat, ana id uie spring ten peat digging machines are to he started on the Minnesota bogs. Delivering the Good*. Edouard Belin, the inventor of photography by wire, said at a din ner in New York: "Of course, the transmission ol photographs by wire was thought oui before my time. But my predecessors, though their theory was ail right, could not put it into practice. So uothlng much came of their work, for an inventor's backers Insist on the prompt delivery of the goods. "An inventor can't treat his back ers as Whistler, the painter, treated his sitters. One of Whistler's sitters, you know, was in a hurry to have her portrait. Finally she said: " 'Now, Mr. Whistler, you've beeD at work on this portrait of mine a very long time. When will it be fin ished and delivered?" "'Perhaps never, ma'am,' said Whistler calmly." Boys Study Reforestation. Reforestation clubs for boys are be ing formed in the pqblic schools of Louisiana. Seeds and trees are sud- : piled by the state department of con servation and prizes are offered for; the best results. The work is timely in view of the assertion, made re-1 cently by the forest service, that tim ber is cut and burned in the United j States four times a 6 fast as It is grow-: lng. Not Wasted.

TRAINING CAMP AT COLUMBIA TO OPEN Columbia, May 12.?One month of free practical training will be given to a. limited number of patrio tic youths this summer at Camp ' Jackson. Based on the congressional 1 appropriation for this purpose only ( 1,200 applicants will be tended this ! training in each of the nine corps 1 areas. This makes possible the 3 training of approximately 10,600 young men throughout the country, ; and in what will be known as the ] Citizens' Military Training camps, ( which, in principal, embodies the plan bf the Plattsburg camps, which pruvcu OV ^VJJUiai anu {/lakivvui 1913-14-15. Young men who attend the Fourth Army Corps Training camp at Camp Jackson will come 1 from the states of North Carolina, 1 South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, < Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee and 1 Louisiana and the camp will open on i July 18th. * The patriotic young man eager to 4 serve his country and make the most < of himself, will naturally want to * take advantage of this opportunity. Candidates must be ettlzeps of the Unted States of good reputation, be tween the ages of sixteen and thir ty-five years, and physically able to meet the requirements of normal training. Provision will be made for all necessary unforms, equipment, arms and ammunition which will be furnished by the army without cost. There is no expense attached to the training. The railroad fare or mile age en route to the camp and the re turn of the candidate to his home will bep rovided by the government. There will be an abundance of at tractions. Camps afford moving pic tures libraries, and recreation halls for dancing and entertainments. At tracive hostess houses are available for use by the 1 candidate for his visitors, friends and" relatives, hould he desire to entertain them during his stay in camp. Physical in struction will stress the value of "mas" training in athletics, as re cently introduced at the West Point military academy. There will be no standing on side line or watch ing the "stars" from the bleachers. Instead it will be everyone in the game and a game for all. The gen eral plan of athletic training is to bring out the latest physical and mental ability of each man. Lads J who "just never could" will be taught "just how" so that upon re turning to their homes they will have sufficient knowledge to intro duce mass play in their schools or on the "home lot." 'It is believed the benefits derived by candidates at the citizens camps during their period of instruction will act as an incentive for ther comrades to at tend a similar camp the following year. A brief resume of the 1921 program of training for the red course or junior grade comprises infantry drill, rifle mai'ksmanship, guard duty, camping and marching, care of equipment, personal Hy giene military courtesy, athletic contests and military ceremonies. Interesting demonstrations will be conducted at camps where men of the regular army are stationed, in order to give candidates an idea of the various branches of the army. Airplanes will maneuver; field' artil lery batteries will be seen on the march and in action; engineer and signal corps equipment will be ex plained and experts of the infantry will demonstrate the use of their ma chine grins, grenade trench mortars and one-pounders. In brief, the purpose of the citi zens training camps is to increase patriotisf, develop self-reliance and add virility to the manhood of the country; to bring together young men of all types; both foreign ar.d native born; to develop closer na tional and social unity; to teach the privileges, duties and responsibili- * ties of American citizenships. Ap plication blanks and information regarding the citizens' training camps can be obtained by a letter to the corps area commander, Fourth Corps, Fort McPherson, At- ^ Ianta Ga. Two men were crucified in North ern New Mexico on Good Friday in observance of Holy Week rites per formed by members of a religious or der. For more than half an hour the two sacrifices were tied to wood en crosses and as a result their con dition is critical. It is considered an 4 honor among these people to be se lected for crucmxion.
