SHINGLES,
How They Are anufacturetl.

Letter from East Saginaw, NTich.l
The Oldest, brashest logs are selected
for shingles, provided always they are
not sound. If they are sound they will
make lumber; if they are doty, worm
eaten, fire-burnt and disreputable gen.
orally, they are worked up into shin
giles. The prime consideration in
shingle timber is to get wood that ia
sound and brash. It must be sound to
make tight roof, and it must be old
and brash to prevent warping. A log
may be doty in places, and even hollow.
and yet have considerable good timber
in it suitable for shingles. The logs
selected, they are "run in" and sawed
into "bolts" sixteen inches long by a
cross-cut saw worked by steam power.
These bolts are then placed on end and
pushed against a large circular saw in
motion, and the good parts cut out in
the most economical shape, as the OBJ
orator judges of it by looking at tile
room, and the select blocks are carried
to the inyle-machines at the other
end Of the room, where they are set on
end in sort Of wise, and giggle rapidly
back and forth against circular saw,
the block being thrown out at the top
and bottom, alternately, by an eccen-
trio movement, for the butt and top Of
the single, at the same time it is
moved back to the saw, each movement
making q single. OF course, these
shingles are of all widths, and some
taper in width; some have knots and
shakes and doty strips through
them, and sometimes these defects
run parallel with the sides of the
single, and sometimes they do
not. Sitting neal the man who oper-
ates the block from which the shingles
are made is the "joiner," man who
picks up the shingles bimbly and holds
their edges an instant against q planer
that runs so rapidly it appears to lie
standing still, and then tosses them
where they belong. All perfect shin
gles-that is, shingles Of sound, un-
blemished wood, and with parallel
edges and square ends, no difference
whether they are wide or narrow. ale
pitched into one hopper and go below
to the binder" These are AL"
Shingles that are perfect in every re-
spsct except that they have small sound
knots in the upper half, are pitched in
to another hopper or chute and go be-
low to another "binder." These are
a." Shingles that are perfect in
every respect except that the butt is
not on right angle with the siles, are
pitched into another chute and 60 be-
low to boy who lays them on gauge
and pushes them against saw, by
which they are squared, after which
they are thrown on conveyer and go
to the binder of "A"l" shingles. Shin
giles that have doty streak or crack or
knot near the middle, are jointed and
pitched over the planer to man who
holds them against circular saw until
they are ripped up and these defects
cut out. Then. if this operation leave,
the sides aud butts at right angles s.
they are sent below to the binder, but
if these defects run at an angle. the
butts must be squared, AM they are
sent down for that purpose iirst. Shin.
giles that ure "teather. edged" knottv,
doty, shaky and incapable OF being
made over into anything good, are sent
down chute and come out in bundles,

An Aspiring Youth,

In South San Francisco exists a lit
tie boy, not yet 8 years old, whose ex-
ploits are somewhat remarkable. Before
the little fellow was 80 onths of age
his father had occasion to look after
some repairs at the top of a number of
dat-roofed buildings Of several stories
elevation. Taking the little one along
with him, and placing him on his coat
at the foot of ladder fastened perpen-
dicularly against the back of one of
them, he proceeded to the roof to make
an investigation of the work to he done.
This occupied more time than he ex-
pected, but was finally completed, AMI
Just as he was on the point Of returning
Judge Of his surprise to see the little
ones head peering over the topmost
round OF the ladder and on level with
himself. To secure him and descend
to the ground required no little COM
mand OF nerve or exert;on of muscle,
but it was finally, to his great jov, ac-
complished. A week or two after this
occurrence this little prodigy of fear.
lessness was missing from the family
circle. A most thorough search, under
great paterpal anxiety, for long time
failed to discover his whereabouts.
Finally, in passing through the street
on which aforementioned build
mgs tron., - object of so much solicit
tatae was discovered sitting ON the edge
OF projecting cornice, dangling his
feet about at most lively rate, and
looking at the objects below in most
concerned manner. BY dint of per-
severance and tact the little waif was
finally brought to terra firma in safety.
To reach the perilous position in which
he was found he had climbed the lad
der on which he had made q previous
exploit, walked over an eli ght inch
plank in the face of strong gale Of
wind, to the second building, and either
scrambled over or crawled around
high frontage of the cornice. San

DEAR TELLER:-Just arrived here
(half-past 10 am This is a pretty place.
The Bitter Root valley opens out here to
the Missoula river. There is quite a
large, level plateau Of low ground sur
rounding the town; most of the town has
a new appearance, as though recently
built; many people congregate about the
depot on the arrival Of the train; the al
titude Of the place is 5000 feet above
sea level. There is very little snow here
now, but is frosty and cold. Have no
desire to leave the car and stand long on
the platform On the route we encoun-
tered no snow till we reached the timber
east Of Kathdrum. Then We found snow
all the way to the Lake Pen dOreillle
and around it and quite a distance up

Head. We passed Clark's Fork in the
night, and hence could not take observa-
