The Teredo and its Work.
Of the various forms cf animal life that
cause damage by their habits of boring into
various substances, the Teredo navalis, or
‘‘ship worm’’ as it is commonly called,
easily heads the list for general destructive-
ness. It is found in every sea, and every
piece of unprotected timber immersed in
salt water is subject to its ravages. It
works secretly, silently and effectually. A
timber may appear perfectly sound upon
the surface, but upon cutting into it, it
will be found fairly honeycombed with the
passages drilled by this indefatigable
miner.
Teredos belong to an old and well scat-
tered family. They were well known to
the ancients, who found the problem of pro-
tecting their ships’ bottoms from the rav-
ages of the pest a most serious one. In
1713 Holland came near suffering an in-
undation through the agency of the crea-
tures. The Zeeland dikes were found ready
to collapse by reason of long continued at-
tacks on the part of teredos, and had not
the situation been discovered most deplora-
ble consequences must have resulted. The
teredo is a cylindrical, worm shaped crea-
ture, and as found in Pacific coast waters
is usually about a foot long and rarely ex-
ceeds half an inch in diameter. The head
contains the boring apparatus, which con-
sists of two peculiarly shaped shells. These
working together havean action closely re-
sembling an auger bit. The long, whip
like body is nearly transparent and so ten-
der that it will hardly bear its own weight.
The creature bores into the timber when it
is very small and at once commences active
labor. It invariably bores in the direction
of the grain of the wood, unless turned
aside by some obstacle in its path, such as
a knot, spike or another burrow.
It lines its tube like passage with a thin
calcareous deposit, which serves as a pro-
tection to its crystalline hody. No matter
how many teredos may be operating in the
same piece of timber, no excavation will be
found breaking into another. How the
artisans, working within the interior of the
timber, can so uneningly avoid obstacles
in their path is a puzzle to scientists. The
section of a log taken as an example measur-
ed but 18 inches in diameter, yet contained
over 800 teredo holes by actual count.
To obtain a live teredo means a diligent
and in many cases a disagreeable search.
The writer made a number of visits to var-
ious wharves, but it was not until an ex-
tremely low tide that success attended his
quest. Great care must be exercised in
diglodging the creatmie if it is to be kept
intact, while photographing the soft, wa-
tery mass will prove no easy task.
‘Many persons erroneously charge the
teredo with the damage done by limnorize,
minute insects that swarm upon the surface
of immersed timbers and eat in toward the
heart. Every piece of piling is beset with
enémies within and without, and it is al-
ways a question which will cause the unlti-
mate destruction of the timber.
‘The teredos bore into the lower end of
the pile in such numbers that at length
it breaks off and floats away; the limnora
makes its attacks at about half-tide mark,
and if given sufficient time, will eat the
timber completely in two. Where the
bottom is foul and muddy, the teredo com-
pletes its work first; but on a firm, sandy
bottom, the linoriee win the day. The
teredo does not work with the same rapid-
ity in all waters. They are worse in Alas-
ka than in Southern California, and at
various points on Puget Sound, but a few
miles distant from each other they work
with varying degrees of voraciousness,
much depending upon the character of the
bottom. A whaif left to itself soon be-
comes a tottering ruin. They are careful-
ly watched, and as quickly as piles are de-
stroyed they are replaced by a pile driver,
which drives new timbers into the bottom
with an immense hammer operated by
steam power.
Loggers are careful to construct their
booms in places where streams 1.ingle
with the salt water in order that their logs
may not be injured before reaching the
sawmill. The Robertson Log-Raft Com-
pany recently removed its plant from Pu-
get Sound to the Columbia river in order
to escape the teredo, which rendered one-
third of its timbers worthless before a raft
of sufficient size could he got together for
towing.
How to protect timbers from their in-
sidious foes has been under consideration
for years. In 1868 Dr. Avenarins, a Ger-
man chemist of note. made a preparation
from creosotz which was fairly effective,
but it did not meet the general favor on ac-
count of its inflammability, evaporation
and destructiveness to wood fibre.
A few years later Dr. Avenarius invent-
ed a coal tar distillation which proved of
great merit, and most of the preservatives
now in use are compounded largely in ac-
cordance with his formula. Copper or yel-
low metal sheathing is also efficacious.
The creosote process consists in a forci-
hle injection into the fibre of the ‘wood of
dead oil of coal tar as obtained in the man-
ufacture of gas.
Copper sheathing consists in a coating of
copper or yellow nietal (sometimes called
Muntz metal) similar to sheathing on the
bottom of vessels. =o it
It is well understood that there ar e
numberless materials which will - keep the
teredo from destroying wood. provided
they can he made to stay in the wood;
but the solving action of salt water is so
great that it will destroy the great percent-
age of them. In Southern California a
considerable quantity of eucalyptus piling
is used. This wood withstands the action
of the teredo for from three to seven years,
but the growth is limited in quantity and
size, and is not of sufficient importance to
out any figure commercially.
Tbe government demands the use of |
pest-predf timber in all its wharves and
harbor works, and railroads and other pri-
vate enterprises are following the example.
The writer recently made a careful exami-
nation of a dock built of prepared timber,
which had been built forseveral years, and
could not find a trace of a teredo. In the
fender-piles, however, which were unpro-
tected, teredos and limoriae were holding
high carnival.— Scientific American.
Have Gome to Mexico.
Governor Stone and a small party of
state officials and their wives left Harris-
burg Tuesday in a special car for a trip to
Mexico. They will visit New Orleans, San
Antonia, Texas, City of Mexico, Los
Angeles and San Francisco, and will be
gone about three weeks. The party will
be composed of Governor and Mrs. Stone,
Secretary of the Commonweaith and Mrs.
Griest, Banking Commissioner and Mrs.
Reeder, Public Buildings Superintendent
and Mrs. Eyre, Executive Clerk Rodgers
and James M. Auter, messenger in the
executive department.
A Use For His Bool.
It is said that when in India Win-
ston Spencer Churchill, Lord Randolph
Churchill’s son, presented a copy of his
first book to General Tucker, who previ-
ous to his South African command was
all powerful at Secunderbad.
“Do you like it?’ young Churchill in-
quired of the general.
“Haven't read it. Is it meant to read ?”’
“Why, yes.” »
“Wish you’d told me so before. [I keep
it hanging up in my dressing room and
tear off a page every morning to wipe my
razor on.”
Too Dense.
“But,” hissed the heavy villain, “sup-
pose our plot should leak out.”
His miserable accomplice shivered st
the thought.
“But it can’t,” cried the low comedian,
emerging at taat moment from behind a
stage tree, “because from now on the plot
thickens, you know.” — Philadelphia

Making Sure of His Honesty.
As the daily train reached a Vermont vil-
lage the other day an antique looking dame
thrust her head out of the window oppo-
site the refreshment room and hriefly
shouted :
“Sonny !”
A bright looking boy came up to the |
window.
“Little boy,"’ - said she,

(BENSON'S PLASTER IS PAIN'S MASTER.)
: There are days of records and of the
beating of records. Benson's Porous Plas-
ter, for quickness of action and thorough-
ness of cure, has no records to beat except
its own.
Benson's Plaster, alway the best, al-
ways the leader, is to-day better than ever.
It sticks to the skin but never sticks in its
tracks. It marches on.
The people are notonly wantto be
cured quickly—and Benson's Plaster does
it.,. Coughs, colds, lumbago, asthma,
bronchitis, liver and kidney complaints,
and other ills approachable by an external
remedy, yield to Benson's as ice does to
heat.
Neilher Belladonna, Strengthening or
Capsicum plasters are to be compared
with Benson’s. People who have once
tested the merits of Benson's Plaster
have no use for any other external reme-
dy.
More than 5,000 physicians and drug-
gists (and a thousand times as many non-
‘professional persons) have. called Ben-
1. &on’s Plasters one of the few (!) home
remedies that can be trusted.
' Fifty-five highest awards have been
made to it in competition with the best
known plasters of Europe and America.
Better proofs of its merits are inconceiva-
ble. Be sure to get the genuine.

+ pay postage on any number ordered in the
United States on the receipt of 2c. each.

JHEORTANT ADVICE.
It is surprising how many people
wake up in the morning nearly as
tired as when they went to bed, a dis-
agreeable taste in their mouth, the
lips sticky, and the breath offensive,
with a coated tongue. These are na-
ture’s first warnings of Dyspepsia and
Liver Disorders, but ifthe U. 8. Army
and Navy Tablets are resorted to at
this stage they will restore the sys-
tem to a healthy condition. A few
doses will do more for a weak or sour
stomach and constipation than a pro-
longed course of any other medicine.
