UNION BREWING CO Phone 30 EXPERIMENTS WITH EUCALYPTUS POSTS Experiments with eucalyptus timber are being conducted at Ellwood, Santa Barbara county, by Robert W. Ayres, who arrived a week ago from Washington, D. C., direct from the forestry service. The Santa Barbara Press says: Mr. Ayres' first work is to experiment with eucalyptus for use as fence posts. He has secured the benefit of the co-operation of Ellwood Cooper, the state horticultural commissioner, who has given him the use of posts from the fine eucalyptus timber on the Cooper place at Ellwood. The government's offer is to treat without cost posts that are furnished by land owners, who will use the posts as they are treated and report to the department on the result. While the work is largely experimental, there is sufficient promise of benefit to repay the farmer for his trouble in taking the posts and from the treating plantment will give a post tha as long as redwood, then saving in cost of one-half. The posts are usually a depth of 3 feet, to allow foot to extend above them. In some instances, for experiment, the entire mersed.

The government's offer is to treat without cost posts that are furnished by land owners, who will use the posts as they are treated and report to the department on the result. While the work is largely experimental, there is sufficient promise of benefit to repay the farmer for his trouble in taking the posts to and from the treating plant located on the Cooper ranch. The posts are dipped in creosote, which has been found to be about the best preservative for such purposes. While its effect on eucalyptus has never been officially tested, it has been in extensive use in the south for the treatment of piling for the swamps; and the southern woods treated with creosote have been given a life of twenty-five to thirty years against three to five years for the same class of timber not treated. Experiments with the eucalyptus for wharf piling along the Santa Barbara coast have already given encouragement to the further planting of these trees, and the co-operation of the department at this time will result, no doubt, in further stimulus. Redwood posts are now in general use throughout California and cost at this point from 15 to 20 cents. It is thought that eucalyptus posts can be grown for 5 or 6 cents and the cost of treating is from 2 to 3 cents. If the result of the treat- constant practice. The preference shown by most infants at the age of one year for the use of the right hand proves that there is an inherited tendency. Further evidence of it is found in the greater ease with which any entirely new act is performed by the right than by the left hand. Training, however, is an important factor. A mature person, having lost the right hand by accident, can achieve wonders with the other if he only exercises patience, perseverance and a strong will. The more mysterious of the two factors in this problem is the inborn tendency. How did it arise? There are exceptions to the rule. Perhaps two out of every hundred babies are left handed. But when you stop to think of it the natural inclination of the other ninety-eight is remarkable. A great many physiologists have speculated in regard to its cause without reaching any conclusion upon which all could agree. Dr. George M. Gould says in the Popular Science Monthly that right handedness is so thoroughly ingratiated in human nature that it must have been partially developed in the savage ancestors of the race. Primitive man, in his opinion, must have felt a definite need for the exercise of his right hand in preference to his left, and that necessity must have been recognized and obeyed for a long period continuously. The impulse could not well have dictated his habits in eating, for knives and forks are of recent origin, the modern gun had not been invented, and writing was practically unknown. Moreover, in such operations as chipping arrowheads, weaving baskets and welding clubs, bows and arrows it could not have mattered much which hand was employed. When warfare had been carried to such a stage of advancement as to involve the use of a shield, however, that object was probably held on the left side in order to protect the heart. Then as a matter of convenience the right arm was left free for the more active function of fighting with spear and Moreover, in such operations as chipping arrowheads, weaving baskets and wielding clubs, bows and arrows it could not have mattered much which hand was employed. When warfare had been carried to such a stage of advancement as to involve the use of a shield, however, that object was probably held on the left side in order to protect the heart. Then as a matter of convenience the right arm was left free for the more active function of fighting with spear and sword, and with habitual exercise came special skill. An attendant phenomenon was a finer organization of that particular center in the brain which controlled these movements and which was situated in the left half of the organ. The brain is the real seat of all dexterity, and something takes place there in correspondence with external efficiency. With an increased use of the right hand, Dr. Gould thinks, there must have been greater demands upon the right eye, because vision must precede the order to strike or to give peaceful signals. In this way there may have been developed a keener power of vision in the right eye than in the left. Dr. Gould assumes that there was and declares that "right handed people are right eyed" and that in their brains the center of vision is on the left side, in close proximity to that governing the right arm. While civilization was yet at a low level communication was carried on, especially with strangers, largely in the sign language. Barter laid the foundations of arithmetic and called into play the digits. The preference already given to the right hand in battle may have guided men in the choice for this service and also in official and social ceremonies. Computation, Dr. Gould points out, was an intellectual process which was conducted in the speech center of the brain. Nature was compelled to take sides in locating the latter, and she placed it to the left of the middle. Dr. Gould thinks that the choice was governed by the employment of the right hand for giving signals. So intimately related are the functions of speech and vision and the control of the muscular efforts with the right arm that action would be quicker if the cerebral centers controlling them were closely associated. Before discussing the cause of left handedness Dr. Gould calls attention to the fact that with right handed people the left hand is occasionally called upon to perform a task of greater importance than its mate.

Are Two Factors In the Proban Inherited Tendency and instant Practice—The Origin of Innate Proclivity. At the great majority of persons the right hand with greater skill the left is doubtless due to two factors—an innate proclivity and nals. So intimately related are the functions of speech and vision and the control of the muscular efforts with the right arm that action would be quicker if the cerebral centers控 ling them were closely associated. Before discussing the cause of left handedness Dr. Gould calls attention to the fact that with right handed people the left hand is occasionally called upon to perform a task of greater importance than its mate. In eating the fork is used more than the knife. In playing a violin or violoncello the fingering is done with the left hand and the bowing with the right. It is suggested that some of these operations may result from the superiority of the right eye. Perhaps the latter can watch and guide them better when they are performed with the left than with the right hand. Left handedness is considered by Dr. Gould an inheritance from ancestors, savage or civilized, who were obliged by some misfortune to abandon the use of the right hand. An even more influential injury, he thinks, would have been as to the right eye. With the cultvation of skill with the left hand, he believes, there followed a change in the organization of the brain. Owing to disease the center, which had formerly controlled action, lost its vigor and that on the opposite side acquired increased power. Dr. Gould says that the speech center was also transferred from the left side to the right of the brain in consequence. In the transmission of the cerebral peculiarity to offspring he finds the key to the manifestation of left handedness at a tender age.—New York Tribune. Experience is a jewel, and it need be so, for it is often purchased at an infinate rate.—Shakespeare.
