i.eln nuIII. lently simple and pructicsl
Hut us mere destructive criticism Is
never satisfying we put forwurd tho
following schemes which could be car-
ried out easily:
First. Erect searchlights round tho
Bush and concentrate them upon tho
elephants at night. Iazled by tho
glare tho brutes will dash head first
Into the trunks of tho trees and stun
themselves. Their feet can then bo
tied together and they can be dragged
way by donkeys or oxen to cases and
subsequently sold to circus proprietors
or zoological gardens.
Second. Let a big airship (the R 34
would do) move to and fro over the
Bush dragging It thoroughly with
grappling hooks. The elephant fished
up could be carried without a moment's
pause north of the Zambesi and gently
lowered to the ground so tbet they
could make their way Into the wilds of
Central Africa.
Third. Allow several submarine to
sink to the bottom of the Sun lay river.
A gnng of natives blowing trumpets
and beating tlu trays would then drive
the elephants Into the water. As they
were swimming across the submarines
would come to the surface underneath
thorn lifting them out of the water.
The submarines would steam away to
any destination Axed upon carrying
the elephants on their decks.
Fourth. Scatter several tons of ex-
tra strong flypajis-r throughout tho
Bush. This will adhere to the trunks
and fe't of the elephants and the more
they attempt to get rid of It the more
It will eollrtct urull In the end tliey
are suffocated. Johannexburg (Trans-

Process Hardens Woo:!.
To prepare the cheaper kind rt
woods by n patented method thnt
makes them more durable Is the pur-
p.ms uf a concern Just organized In
Hope. Denmark according to a com-
mercial attache In Copenhagen.
The wools especially to be prepared
are birch. ah and elm all wood treat-
ed by this process belns called teak'n
wood.
Certain changes In the character of
the wood that normally t:ke place
only after many years of dryltiK are
by this chemical process produjed
within 24 hours. Thereafter when
the moisture that may still be left has
evaporated the wood becomes harder
and more durable than by the aging
process.
Teakln birch Is of a beautiful gold-
en brown color and. when polished
with potash It take on-a mahogany
red hue. Teakln ash Is a substitute for
teak. Teakln elm has none of the dis-
advantages of natural elm. Teakln
fir Is of a uniform color all thro-.'-jh
and Is used for ofice fitting and fur-
niture and for veneering.
Period of Heavy Expenditure.
A perhxl of twenty-five months from
April JM7 through April. 1919 the
war cost the lnlted States consider-
ably more than $lNHono an hour.
Treasury disbursements during the
period reached a total of $23500000-
) of which SLiT-OiO0") may It
charged to the normal expenses which
would have occurred In time of peace.
The balance may be counted as tho
direct money cost of the war to the
end of April 1913 a sum of $21.8.V-
CiO.OOO. The figure Is twenty times
the prewar national debt In addition
to this huge expenditure loans were
advanced to the allies at the rate of
nearly $JO00im) an hour. Congress au-
thorized for this purpose $100X).000-
000 and there was actually paid to
various governments the sum of IS-850000000.
Platinum From Alaska.
Tho output of platinum palladium
and other metals of the plattnum group
In Alaska In 1918 Is estimated at 284
fine ounces valued at 3660O. accord-
ing to the United States geological sur-
vey department of the Interior.
Platinum was recovered from tho
gold placers of oome districts In larger
amounts and from some In smaller
mounts than last year.
One of the m-st Interesting events
of the year la :ot ectlon with Alaska
mining Is the recv. of substantial
mounts 8f paliiuioui and of some
platinum from the copper ore of tho
Salt Chuck mine near Ketchikan.
