about four drains that morning and was

SAMPLES Of hardwood lumber made
from common wheat straw have lately
been exhibited in Illinois. The wood has
all tho polish and finish Of the hardest
black walnut aud mahogany. An ordina.
ry straw board, such as is usually made at
any paper mill, is used for producing it.
As many sheets are taken as are required
to make the thickness desired. These
sheets arc passed through chemical so.
luton which thoroughly soitens the FIBER
and completely saturates it. Thew
is next drawn through n succession Of
rollers, dried and hardened through the
the process as well as polished, and then
comes out OF the other end OF the ma.
chine hard, dry lumber, ready for use.
1t is said that the chemical substances
hardening in the fiber entirely prevent
water soaking and render the lumber com.
busttble only in a very hot FIRE. The hard.
encd finish on tho outside also makes It
impervious to water The samples which
have been exhibited could harry be dis
tinguished from hardwood lumber, and
in saving the material the difference
could not DO detected.
