The Palatka daily news. (Palatka, Fla.) 1884-1888, 1888-02-23

Scientific American, in which the iIlustra-
ton originally appeared, explains the APP
parent impossibility. The heart is of black
walnut and the arrow is of bass wood. Bass
wood. as all may not know, can be enor-
mously compressed, after which it may be
steamed and expanded to its original volume.
This peculiar property is the key to the
secret, one end of the arrow was THIS COM
pressed, and in its compressed state was
passed through the aperture of the heart,
after which it was expanded. Advantage
has been taken of this principle in the manu-
facture Of certain kinds of holdings. The
portions of the wood to be left in relief arc
first compressed or pushed down by suitable
dies below the general level OF the board,
then the board is planned down to Level sur
face, and afterward steamed The com
pressed portions of the board are expanded
by the steam, SO that they stand out IN RELIEF
