NEW USE FOR TULEs-At the recent

to the much despised California tule. A
patent was granted August T. 1888, for Le-
dues Tule Life-Preserver. In December.
1884, company was incorporated here to
make life-preservers out of the California
tule, Charles j. Henry being President,
and manufactures have been established
in San Francisco, Sacramento and at Stock
ton. The device was approved by the
Secretary of the Treasury in February,
1884. and it was adopted by the Supervis-
ing Inspectors of Steam Vessels. Last year
5000 life-preservers, made of California
tules, were sold in Boston, in addition to
the large number used on the Pacific coast.
At the recent meeting or the Supervising
Inspectors a life-raft made of tules was
adopted. 1t is expected that this will
largely increase the sale of California tules.

buoy up from thirty-six to forty pounds.

quantities in California

TupeIo Gum and Willow Oak.

Considerable attention has been lately di
rected to the commercial and industrial value
at least prospectively, of the tupeio gum and
willow oak timbers of Mississippi After va
rious and thorough tests the first named has
been pronounced almost as soft and light as
cork, and the whitest timber in the valley. II
is extremely light, can not be split while at
the same time it is very tough, tenacious and
will bear heavy strain, its various qualities
rendering it specially valuable for buckets,
pitchers, trays, ox-yokes, and almost all kinds
of water vessels, as well as for many other
purposes. The water or willow oak is said to
be second only to the live oak, is almost as
hard when seasoned as is the latter, and for
the rim and spokes of wheels is alleged to
have no superior, while for ship-building
{: is almost eqnal TO live oak in its firmness
and durability. Tests have been made of the
crushing capacity of this wood and also of
its transverse strength, with remarkably ia
vorable results, the published data showing
that it is one-third stronger than any white.
red or black oak, and only one-eighteenth les
than live oak-Chicago Times.
