A STORY OF THE CROSS-ARM MILLIONS OF THESE ADJUNCTS TO TELEPHONE SERVICE Large Portion of the Supply Comes From the South—Treatment With Creosote Trebles Their Durability—In Bath of Living Steam There are used every year in the United States about 14,000,000 cross-arms for telephone and telegraph poles. Of these, perhaps one-fourth are now treated with preservatives to increase their durability, and there are at least five plants, at New York City, Norfolk, Va., New Orleans and Slidell, La., and West Pascagoula, Miss., at which cross-arms are treated. Because of their small size as compared with the strength required and the weakening effect of the holes for insular pins, and their constant exposure to all kinds of weather, cross-arms should receive a thorough treatment. A good treatment with creosote will at least treble their durability. A large portion of the supply of cross-arms comes from the south; they are sawed from the loblolly or old field pine, of which there is a large quantity throughout this region. This tree grows rapidly, but contains much sapwood, which is difficult to season. It has been said that "loblolly pine sapwood will rot before it will season in the warm, damp climate of the south." While this is probably overdrawn, it is necessary so to pile the cross-arms that the air may circulate freely about them and to protect them from rain are properly air seasoned. Other commendations for seasoning treating cross-arms, and a discarded in Circular 151 of the Service, which can be had upon application to The Forester at Bathington. OUR MINERAL WEALTH Mineral substances of common value are found throughout the and breath of California—several dred and fifty miles long and hundred and fifty miles wide. The Mining bureau is the most important state institution of its kind in the United States. Notwithstanding such importance, and regard of the great area and diverse scientific work which it must pass, the bureau is accorded treatment by the legislature. Priations are small. There is sufficient high-class work in California to continue occupy the time and skill of sixty men, but the money at the cost of the bureau will not permit steady employment of one field man. No other state in the nation so grudgingly appropriates to promote such a great industry such a great source of the wealth and development. While it is true that some educational and scientific elements are sparingly cared for (dition to be justly depreciated) is every reason for and no valuation against the most liberal element of the mining bureau.

This tree grows rapidly, but contains much sapwood, which is difficult to season. It has been said that "loblolly pine sapwood will rot before it will season in the warm, damp climate of the south." While this is probably overdrawn, it is necessary so to pile the cross-arms that the air may circulate freely about them, and to protect them from rain and snow by a roof of loose boards. By laying 20 cross-arms in a tier, 2 cross-arms at each side and 2 in the middle set on edge, and allowing a small space between each of the others, which are laid flat, favorable conditions for seasoning are established and no rotting will occur. Sapwood absorbs preservative so much more readily than heartwood that when both cross-arms in which sapwood abounds and those in which heartwood predominates are treated in the same run the former absorb an excessive amount before the latter have received what they require. This is not only a needless expense but a detriment, inasmuch as the excess of creosote in the sapwood later oozes out and drips on those who walk beneath. To solve this difficulty, the cross-arms should be sorted in three classes, as sapwood, intermediate, and heartwood, and treated in different runs. Cross-arms are treated in large horizontal cylinders varying from 90 to 180 feet in length and from 6 to 7 feet in diameter. Into these the arms are run on skeleton trucks, and the doors are then bolted air-tight. Creosote is next run until the remaining space in the cylinder is filled. Pressure is sometimes then applied by pumps to force the preservative into the wood. In some instances before the preservative treatment the cross-arms are treated to a bath of living steam followed by the drawing of a vacuum, to remove moisture and secure rapid penetration of the wood by the preservative. It is the opinion of the Forest Service, however, that the bath in steam is not necessary or desirable if the arms While it is true that some educational and scientific efforts are sparingly cared for (dition to be justly depreciated) is every reason for and no valuation against the most liberal ment of the mining bureau.

NEW COACHES Announcement comes from San Francisco that the Southern Pacific has placed an order for fifty new Pullman coaches, to the value of $1,-000,000, and that the new cars will be used on limited trains between Los Angeles and San Francisco, and San Francisco and Portland. These are Pullman cars exclusively and it is said that they will be as fine as the Pullman company can build. Besides these, the Harriman lines last month ordered 220 other cars for passenger trains, most of which will be placed on the Southern Pacific.
