VSINQ WOOD WASTE
While we are hunting (or new In
dustries (or Bend, the (orest prod
ucts laboratory maintained by the
government at Madison, Wis., is seek
ing to discover how wood waste may
be utilized. Since one o( the most
abundant of local materials is wood
waste, it seems possible that it might
be well to keep in touch with the
work of the laboratory.
One of its latest investigations has
been as to the practicability of using
wood alcohol for motor fuel. This,
a recent bulletin from the labors
tory says, seems to be entirely out of
the question because of its high
price, but it may be possible to man
ufacture grain alcohol from wood
and use it as a substitute for gaso
line. There seems to be confusion in
terms here, but this is what the bul
letin says.
Coniferous sawdust Is the material
used along with other forms of waste
One ton will yield from 15 to 20 gal
lons of 190 proof spirit, making the
raw material cost about 2 cents per
gallon of return in a plant where
the waste is (igured as worth from
30 to 50 cents per ton.
A number of plants have tried to
produce this alcohol, but bo far one
only has been successful on a com
mercial basis. If one somewhere,
why not one in Bend?
Poor Packing Causes Waste.
Few persons considering the cost of
living realize that more than $700,000.
000 Is added to the cost of their food,
clothing and other necessities ' each
year because of the waste caused hy
damage, unscientific loading and the
tremendous cost of packing these
commodities. The railroads and the
shippers realize It, as shoirn by their
conducting a campaign to reduce to
the minimum the waste through dnm
age, and to utilize to the utmost the
capacity of freight cars, which are
hauled half empty.
These are some of the Items which
enter Into this waste estimate dam
age and theft, ' $100,000,000; wasted
lumber used only once In packing
cases; 8240,000.000; empty car space,
J209.000,000 ; and the staggering cost
to the railroads of hauling half empty
cars more than 6.000,000.000 miles.
$157,000,000. It Is estimated that from
10 to 25 per cent of the cost of food
stuffs goes to pay (or the crates
which are thrown away.
LIVE APART FROM THE WORLD
People of Northern Korea as Ignorant
as Were Their Ancestors Thou
sands of Years Ago.
Many of the natives in the north
o( Korea have never seen a white
man. A bulletin of the National Geo
graphic society says that they are liv
ing among the hills today much as did
their ancestors centuries ago. wor
shiping mythical gods In the rocks nnd
trees on every mnuntalntop. keeping
their women In semi-slavery, and dy
' rng In ignorance of the world heynnd
their narrow confines. After the Kus-so-Japnnese
war of 1904 the country
was opened to foreigners, and the ex
ploration of the northern part pro
gressed bye leaps and bounds, until
the only extensive unknown area lay
along the north central boundary, be
tween the Tumen and Yalu rivers.
' The old walls of the ancient city of
Musnn bear five centuries of history.
Few white men have wandered Inland
to the gates of this city, nnd except
fo a few stragglers it lies unknown
to the western world. The great cen
tral palace or reception hall, remrtlns
intact, and close hy, In palatini ruins,
is the temple guest-house. The small
er public buildings,, the gates, tin
watch towers and, most of nil, the
walls themselves, have their own pe
culiar fascination, telling their own
story or adding a chapter to that of its
neighbor. t
The Koreans believe the blood of a
deer or any wild animal, If drunk
when warm, to be a splendid tonic.
Tigers' claws, whiskers, bones nnd
teeth are especially valuable, and prep
arations, rnnde from thece . materials
were often gi,ven to soldiers before s
battle or any especially hazardous en
terprise, since ,they were believed to
Induce great bravery.

The Pelican
Some pelicans around me sail, as Twind up my
lyre, that I may earn a slice of kale, to buy a rubber
tire. The yelican is most absurd, it has no warbling
skill ; it is a bonehgad sort of bird that largely runs
to bill. It catches fish before my door, by every
artful means, instead of going to the store and
buying canned sardines. It hangs around in my
front yard, close by its feeding place, and doubtless
thinks an old fat bard should sing its charms and
grace. I've witnessed many tinhorn fowls in my
long, sad career; I've gazed on buzzards, crows and
owls, in countries far and near; I've looked on
roosters large and small, on mudhens and such
things; the pelican outclasses all, for homeliness,
by jings. And yet it thinks it's pretty fine, as
graceful as a bride; it stands before this hut of
mine, and seems to point with pride. Along the
beach, and to and fro, I watch its vain, parades;
as silly as an ancient beau who ogles blooming
maids. It thinks it is a shining star, pure radiance
to spill; but, like the chaps who fix my car, it
mostly runs to bill.
