WASTE OF FORESTS Lessened by the Introduction of Improved Machinery. ALL PARTS OF TREE UTILIZED Complete Revolution Not Only in the Methods of Handling Ue Lot But in Reducing the Stumpaee Waste as Well WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 15. The men of no industry recognise the importance of practicing ecomony in the wtilixation of product more than the lumbermen of this country. Such has sot always been the case, but the rapid depletion of the forests during the past decade and the .consequent advance in rampage prices has made necessary the reduction of waste in order to in sure the properity of the business. So tar, aside from reducing waste in the woods, practically all efforts have been directed to better utilization of the log f the tree through the introduction of snachinary which works up the product with less waste. Lumbermen have for years been per fecting their machinery so as to reduce the waste in manufacturing logs into lumber. The old-fashioned, vertical, tiff-back saws which were operated by water power made a cut almost half an inch wide. Then came the circular saws, which greatly increased the speed of swing, and reduced the waste in kerf. These have now been supplanted by onodern band saws, 'which in some cases Bate a cut of not more than 1-8 of an inch wide, and revolves with tremend ous speed. With the saw, all of the the? parts of mill machinery have bown marked improvement. This condition has been brought about y the ever Increasing demand for great er economy and cheaper and quicker roethods of manufacture. "Waste in lum ring has always been an important consideration, but has become far more o of late on account of the very rapid depletion of the forest. Competition las also greatly increased until it is uly those lumbermen who have kept pace with mojern conditions that are ble to operate with success. Thef changed conditions have com pletely revolutionized the logging methods of several of the larest lum ber companies in the South. Instead of felling the tree and gawing it into logs in the woods, they simply trim off the tranches, and haul in the whole tree. It is then thrown into a log pond, picked up en .endless chains, and sawed into Jogs of any desired length. One con cern in the South with which the Forest Service has been cooperating has built a separate mill for this purpose. The aavings in the actual merchantable con tents and cot of manufacture aru con siderable, and more than pay for the initial and upkeep costs of the mill. Absolutely refuse to furnish them, but take the logs of this quality and saw them into more valuable grade of lum ber. llet longleaf pine ie are likely therefore, to go out of use, and their place be taken by the te sawed from small trees and surfaced on two side only. Such ties are admiiably adapted to preservative treatment because they are entirely surrounded by sapwood. and this readily absorbs preservatives. More over, a tie cut from a small tree, when treated with a preservative, ia far more durable than an untreated tie cut from heartwook, and although its initial coat is somewhat greater, its final cost is considerably less. Manufacture of logs of certain sires into definite products ia therefore getting to be of increasing importance. , While the principal advance la the closer utilization of the tree, so far, have been made in working up the log to better advantage, other reductions in waste rill come through the use of every pari of the tree which can be handled with profit. Varied commercial interests over the country have made good success in the last few years in reducing the enormous waste of forest products by treating with preservatives woods which are of little value in their natural state, reducing the height of the stump, using the tree higher up into the top, and utilizing for various by products many parts which were for merly wasted. The government, through the United States Forest Service, has taken a prominent part in these experi ments, and the knowledge gained has been placed at the disposal of the busi ness men of the country who are interested. STEVENSON'S WORKS TO BE SOLD. Auction to be Held in New York on January 30 and 31. NEW YORK, Jan. 15. There will be sold at auction in New York on Thurs day and Friday the 30 and 31st, what is to be the most complete work of Robert Louis Stevenson in existence. The col lection was made by George M. William- sn of Urandview-on-the-Hudson. Edmund Oosse, the gTeat critic, in a letter to Mr. Williamson said:. 'I have been greatly enjoying the Bibliography of your Stevenson collec tion, which is stupendous. ou must save the best in the world." Almost every book that is. not a presentation cony with the author's autograph has an autograph letter inserted. Among them are many volumes which Stevenson pre sented to his old nurse, Alzion Cunning ham and which she sold after his death. Each one had a dedication to the old nurse in the author's handwriting. Among the relics in the collection are: A fine copy of a first edition of his first work, "The Lentland Rising," Edinburgh, 18C6. A first edition of his second publica tion, "The Charity Bazaar," signed in full by him, Edinburgh, W8. The only known copy of "The Sur prise," a 12 mo. leaflet of four pages, edited and published by E. L. I Osborne & Company, 1880, with an ad vertisement which reads: , "Xelth (Sic) to the Sickly, Professor Another feature of the business which , , ,, ,'. ,, , ,. ., . ..... , , ,. ,. !and Mankind's refined olive ml will I pluck the sufferers from the jaws of I death." First published edition of the story of Alic, VI mo. wrappers uncut, London, 1882. Owing to a dispute about copy- right this work was withdrawn before MENTALLY UNSOUND. (Continued from page 1) The telephone told or Thaw putting In 73 calls one morning at the Grand Hotel, and then forgetting all about, them. The butler told many details of Thaw' life nt home in W3. He was still under examination when adjournment was taken. Separate Incidents of the alleged irrational conduct on the part of the defendant was Wing put into evidence by Littleton as foundation for the ex pert testimony that is to come. He alo hope to accumulate auch a masa of tes timony a to Thaw's conduct aa to make it impossible for the district attorney to fulfill the task of proving Thaw sane beyond every possible doubt. Criminal lawyers of prominence who are following the case outlined by the defense and who are taking into consid eration the fact that a specific plea of insanity l been entered this year declare that acquittal under the circum stances can come only with the added clause: ' On account of insanity of the defendant at the time the act was com mitted.' Thi, it is declared, would compel the court to commit Thaw to the Matteawan Asylum, whence a fight would prove his present sanity and thus gain hia freedom would have to be gath ered through habeas corpus proceedings. NEW YORK, Jan. 15. The skeletons of the Thaw ancestry, the basis for the defense of insanity in the trial of Harry K. Thaw for the killing of Stanford White, will continue to be exhibited In court today. Relentlessly the attor neys for the defense are laying bare the history of the Thaw family, on both the father's and mother' aide, which was only hinted at in the former trial Then the defense was a "brain storm now it is hereditary insanity, an insanity which the defense has stated began long be fore Harry Thaw was born and which, up to the present, at least, they have not attempted to put an end to. WTbelly er, later they will claim that Thaw is now sane is a matter wholly for specu lation. A man whose school classes llaivy Thau? aftmlil u-)un h u-Ad a bnv. and a woman who niirsed him when he was ill in Monte Carlo years ago, have al-t ready been called to the witness stand, ! and have told of the actions which they j believed showed Thaw mentally un-' sound. The defense ha promised to put forward several other witnesses to testify to his mental condition long be fore the night of the tragedy on the Madison Square Garden roof and it is probable that some of these witnesses will be called today. Mj. Littleton ia beginning at the very earliest period of Thaw's life possible, and, will so far as he can, introduce hisvidence in chron ological order, down to the night of the: Killing. .ir. jinry maw, me uen-uu-ant's mother, it is announced, will come to New York In spite of a serious ill ness and will again testify in an attempt , to save her son from the electric chair. At the former trial her testimony was of minor importance and she was com- pelled by her son's lawyers to leave the stand before she had told all that she' wanted to tell. Whether or ' not she 1 will now be allowed to go further into; the story of the insanity in her family cannot be told until she takes the stand, j USE FOR BELMONT TUNNEL.

A we for the Belmont tunnel which runs under the; Ka4 River, from the foot of 42nd j Street ,t Long Island City, has been found at last, according to the story which ig in circulation in railroad cir cles but which still lack confirmation. It is said that the New York Central road ha made arrangements with the company owning the tunnel by which all the exptesg train will be run under the river to Long Island City, whcie 80 acre of land wa recently acquired and which, will be used by the railroad for storing rolling ttock. According to the story, express trains are to be run from Spuyten Duyvil to 42nd Street by way of 11th Avenue and thence by way of a new tunnel to be constructed to the tube under the river. The tracks on Eleventh Avenue are now used ex clusively for freight and must soon be lowered. It is said that by running ex press trains by thi route they would not only escape the great local and third rail traffic which now runs on the Park avenue line, but the time to the Grand Central station would be lowered by half an hour. By using the Belmont tube and the terminal at Long Island City, much time would also be saved, the terminal being only two miles from Grand Central Station, while the pres ent storage grounds are five miles from the station, and necessitate the moving of train over crowded track. No Heated Argument Were Character ised a on Previous Debate. "WASHINGTON', Jan. 15. So persist ent ha been the effort in the Home to amend the bill codifying the penal code that the committee on the revUion of the law today consented to let down the bar and as a result the measure was changed in some Important particu lar. The pacific attitude of the com mittee in this regard served to modify ihe opposition to the measure and in consequence proceeding today were de void of heated arguments which have characterized the previous debates. WPien the house adjourned there were pending a number of important amend ment which seemed to meet with no narticular opposition by the committee but which were passed over until to morrow in order that the membeiH might have time to consider them care fully. Portions of the bill which at trated the most attention were those covering the giving and accepting of bribe by Senators and member and the sale of endorsement or support for annointive office. It is to the amend ments touching these question the Ilouse tomorrow will devote itnelf upon resuming considertion of the bill. CASTORIA lor Infants and Children.

Nancy Scwell, living on Jeffer son street, Hlllsboro, Ore., say: "I have used Doan's Kidney Pills and think very highly of them. My kidney were too frequent in action and forced me to arise many time during the night. My back was so sore and lame that I could not stoop or bend over. I tried lini ment and plasters, but without any good results. At lat Doan's Kidney Pills were brought to my attention ,and I procured a box.
