Timber and Tools.
It d . fact well known to mill men
that it is not always the harder woods,
an the ordinary a-ceptatlon of the term,
that are the most wearing to the saws.
Many practical persons marvel at this
and wonder to themselves why q piece
Of timber showing small crushing ten
sion and other strengths, requires
more power to work into lumber, and
at the same time wears out the saws
and cutting tools faster than other va
rieties of timber. the strength of which.
in most respects, is greater.
A log Of black walnut and one Of
burr oak of the same sized worked into
the same sized stuff will show widely
different results on both saws and ma
chinery. II we attempt 10 rive or split
these logs the walnut will work much
easier than the oak. and so far rs the
various strengths are concerned the
oak is superior by far, but when cut
into by tools Of any description the
walnut will present much greater re-
sistance than the oak, and the same is
true IS regards many other varieties Of
hard and soft timber.
II we take . longitudinal section Of
these comparatively soft timbers which
are SO hard on the cutting edges, we
will find the minute pores or interstices

wives, thought here vocal powers were great,
what 6ne voice she has,
"Very 6ne," replied strange man at mis-
side.

Considerable timber" responded the
stranger again, "but too many cracks in it
for Misunderstanding, and not quite enough

The husband remained silent during the
concluding portions of the entertainment.
