In acquiring Burmah, England has
got possession of vast forests of teak,
which, never plentiful in India, was be-
coming commercially very rare. Of all
the woods grown in the east this is the
most valuable. 1t is neither too heavy
nor too hard; it does not warp or split
under the exposure of heat or damp
ness; it contains an essential oil which
prevents its rotting under wet condi-
tom, and at the same time acts as a
preservative to iron and repels e

handsome wood, of several varieties OF
