The Figure and Color Of Wood.

The figure of wood depends more up
on the particular mixings and directions
of the fibres than upon any difference
of color. If a tree was found formed
of merely circular rings, like the Sec
ton of an organ, filed with LAYERS of
peel instead of pulp, the horizontal SEQ
ton would exhibit circles the vertical,
parallel straight lines ; and the obliaue
section parts of ovals but few, if any.
trees are to be found either exactly per
pendicular or straight, and, therefore,
although the three natural sections have
a general disposition to the figures de-
scribed, every little bend and twist in the
tree disturbs the regularity of the fibre,
and adds to tie variety and ornamental.
ton of the wood. A perpendicular cut
through the heart of the tree is the
hardest and most diversified, because in
it occures the most profuse mixture and
density of the fibre, the first and the
last in point of age being presented in
the same plank; but the density and di-
versity lessen as the board is cut further
away from the axis. Curls are formed
by the confused filling in of the space
between the forks of the branches, The
beautiful figure thus induced causes a
log, say of mahogany, to be valued in
proportion to the number of curls it
contains. There is great competition at
public auction for such logs, and prices
which seems astonishingly large are
sometimes given for a log known by
judges to contain several fine curls Oc.
casionally some disappointment may be
experienced when the log is opened, but
not often. The curl generally shows
itself on the outside, where it can be
seen, and there is always the possibility
of there being interior ones as we'll,
which do not show on the surface. Fig
ure is also produced as follows: The
germs of the primary branches are set at
an early period of the growth of the par
ent stem, and thus give rise to knots.
But many fail to penetrate to the exte-
rior, and are covered over by the more
vigorous deposition of the annual rings.
Each branch is miniature tree down to
the smallest twig. and this process goes
on in each individual branch Just as in
the trunk. These knots produce figure
in the following manner: When the germ
succeeds in forcing its way to the sur
face, the future rings of the trunk bend
and turn aside when they encounter the
knot, and in the softer woods do not
mite with it. This accounts for white
wood knots being so liable to fall out
The turpentin3 in other sorts of wood
acts as sort of cement and keeps the
Knot in it's place The hardness of knots
is due to the close grouping of the fbers
and to their compression by the sur
wood, which itself is allowed
by the yielding nature of the
park.

LucreZia BOrgia.

Kate Field having witnessed Ristori's
enactment eff the character of Lucrezia
Borgia in Victor Hugo's drama, takes
it upon herself to defend the truth of
history from what she deems the dram
atist's Misrepresentation. In a commu-
nication to the New York Tribune she
says: eff Victor Hugo were not a
poet, he might be called liar. Being
q poet his Tyre is spelled differently.
Lucrezia Borgia was an honor to her
sex in an era when RIGHTEOUSNESS was
universal and the code of morals suf1i-
GENTLY lax to crafty the most vicious
Her court became famous for its bril-
iancy, and her platonic friendship for
Pietro Ben DO is historic. Bembo speaks
of her as a princess who was more de-
sirous of ornamenting her mind with
excellent endowments than her person
the decorations of dress, applying all
her leisure hours to reading or compo-
sltion, to the end that she might sur
pass other women as much in the charms
of her understanding as she already did
in those of external beauty, and that
she might be better satisfied with her
own applause than with that, however
infinite, of the rest of the world. Lib
anori pronounced her O most beautiful
princess, endowed with every estimable
quality of mind and with the highest
polish of understanding. She was 6 es-
teemed rs the delight of the time and
the treasure of the age.' In 1903, Ca
viceo dedicated II Peregrino to Luz
crezia, as homage to her excellence.
Ariosto declared that she rivaled in the
decorum of her manners, as we'll as in
the beauty of her person, all that former
times could boast, and in the forty
second book of his great poem he as
serts that Rome ought to prefer the
modern Lucrezia to the Lucretia of
antiquity as well in modesty as in
beautyi The mother of three SONS, she

husband rePosed 80 much confidence in
her that, when in the field. he gave to |
her the reins of government. For TWEEN

He did so, and the benefits from it's

The Earth-Its Heat and Contraction.

Professor P. M. Duncan, F, r. s..
recently delivered at the Royal Institu-
ton a course of lectures upon 1.-THE
Grander Phenomena of Physical Geog-
raphy." He pointed ont that there is
strong evidence that the earth is solid
body now cooling, because the deeper
man can get in mines or in borines the
hotter is the temperature, and the tenn
perature continues to increase at depths
to which man cannot reach, a tempera-
ture of $3.50 degrees would be found
at a depth of forty five miles. At this
temperature GRANTEES and lavas fuse.
Assuming, then, the earth to be hot
body now cooling, as it cools the rocks
must contract moreover, those rocks
which are rich in SILICA will not con-
tract so rapidly on cooling as others,
consequently herein is source of
change of shape of the earth. It is
we'll known that surface changes are
going on, that some large areas of land
are in course of slow upheaval, while
others are slowly sinking, and that at
one geographical period there was a
great upheaval of the larger portion of
the continent of North America. The
globe, therefore, is cooling unequally.
The radiation from some parts is
greater than at others, so in this there
is further source of disturbance. Sir
William Thomson has calculated that
every year ninety-two horse power of
work-for neat means works got rid
of from every two hundred and forty
seven acres of the surface of the globe.
The dissipation of energy and the con-
traction of rocks not being uniform,
the effect of these disturbing causes is
to produce horizontal thrusts, which
form mountain ranges by crumplipg up
the earth, for mountains are formed by
this crumbling action, and not usually |
by direct volcanic or other upheaval |
The changes produced by the contrac-
ton are slow, and there is every reason |
TO believe that our present sea floors |
and our present continent' are ex-
old, geographically speaking,
so far as their present forms are con-
cerned. He said that the upper part
Of SnOwdou consists of sea land,
FOSSIL sea fishes, and volcanic ashes, all
mixed together /; in fact it appears to
nave been at one time in the same con-
lition that the Bay of Naples is at
present, that is to say, volcanic ashes
ell into it and sometimes buried fish.
The lower part of Snowdon consists of
7ast streams of old lava. At some
geological period the crumpling action
llready mentioned took place below
he Bay OF SnoWdon consequently
he bottom of be bnv Was elevated and
became the top Of the highest noun

SALT AND POTATO BUGS.

A correspondent of the Rural Sun
writes Last season I planted one
third of my garden in Irish potatoes.
About the time the potato began to
form on the vines, the potato-bugs
made their appearance in large num-
bers, and completely devoured the
vines. After eating up the potato-vines,
they commenced on the beets and toma-
toes, and after they had destroyed
about one-half of each, thought of
what an old gardner had said to me
some years ago about the use of salt as
fertilizer for vegetables and a pre-
tentative of worms and insects in gar
dens. at once had salt eprinkled over
the beets and tomatoes, and, TO our as.
tonishment. the bugs disappeared at
once, and 1 had to regret I did not
think OF it in time to try it on MY
potatoes.

which, if practiced few years, will
produce porkers equal to the pure

should never be used, as the tendency
is to run back to the scrub. The thor
