The election OF the three Tammany candidates ior
Coroner BY double the votes which the candidates
OF the County Democracy received, was even greater
surprise to tho "slmon-pure" faction than that OF
the defeat OF their Assembly candidates. One inter
cstlng fact in this connection is that Dr. Louis H.
schultze sonin-law of the late Matthew I. Brennan
and surgeon at the Castle Garden Hospital, was
candidate OF the County Democracy three years ago
and was defeated lie thought his chances better
in the Tammany contingent, and transferred his al
lcgiance TO that faction upon the promise that he
should be one Of It's candidates. The following were
the Tammany candidates elected!

Wood generally decays in pro-
portion to the warmth of the temper
ature
Hence on northern exposures, in
cool valleys, in high elevations in
northern countries, the duration of
wood is longer than when placed un-
der opposite influences.
If wood is used in contact with
the ground, decay proceeds the more
rapidly, beginning at the point of
contact with the soiD the looser,
moister and warmer the soil, and es-
pecially the greater the liability of
change from dry to wet; therefore
timber will last longer in heavy, al
ways moist clay, than in. loose, al
ternately moist and dry sand or
in warm, comparatively dry lime
soils.
Rooms without ventilation induce
decay, producing the drv.rot, (whias
first appears IN white patches chang
Ing into brown or gray). Ventila-
ton, drying-out, and isolation from
moisture will cure this defect.
NATURAL FACTORS INFLUENCING DUR
ABILITY.
3. Sound, mature trees yield
more durable timber than either
young or very old trees. Maturity
is the time when trees have ceased
to grow vigorously, which is indicat-
ed by hattening of the crown, dy-
ing g-out of the branches in the crown,
and by the change of color of the
bark Maturity may be reached,
according to circumstances, by the
same species, when the diameter is
only a few inches or when it is as
many feet. The small tree on arid
soil or overtopped by others from
its birth, may be as old and older
than tree of greater dimensions
growing under more favorable con-
dit'ons. OF two pieces of the same
kind the heavier is the more dura-
BILE, although absolute weight of the
two different kinds of timber, does
not determine their relative dura-
bility.
Heart wood, as a rule, can resist
deterioration logger than sap-wood,
because it contains less sap; but,
when the sap-wood is well seasoned
and heavier. this difference disap-
pears.
The site has an influence on dura-
bility in SO far as it influences the
formation of heavy wood
Quickly-grown hard-woods with
wide annual rings, and slowly grown
conifers with narrow (yet not too
narrow rings, and tapped" pines
Con the tapped side) yield, as rule,
the most durable wood, other condi-
tions being equal.
Coniferous wood from compara-
lively poor soils, high altitude, and
dense forest, hard-woods from rich

tus, in shorter time is to immerse
the prepared timber in water, from
one to three weeks, to dissolve the
fermentable matter nearest the sur
face. This is done in running wa
ter-if such is not at hand, a bath
may be substituted, the water of
which needs frequent change Tim
ber SO treated, like raft-timber, will
season more quickly and is known
to be more durable. If practicable
the application of boiling water or
steam is an advantage in leeching
out the sap.
COATING TO KEEP OUT MOISTURE.
z. Never apply paint or any 9TH
er coating to green or unseasoned
timber.
If the wood was not we'll dried or
seasoned, the coat will only hasten
decay.
| Good coatings consist Of oily or
resinous Substance which make d,
smooth coat, capable Of being uni
formly applied; they must cover ev-
cry part, must not crack, and pos
sess certain amount Of Elasticity
after drying
Coal-tar, with or without sand or
plaster or pitch, especially if mixed
with oil of turpentine and applied
hot, (thus penetrating more deeply
answers best. A mixture of 3 parts
coal-tar and one part clean, unsalted
grease, to prevent the tar from dry
ing until it has had time to fill the
minute pores, is recommended. One
barrel of coal-tar ($3 to S4 per bar
reD will cover 300 posts. Wood-tar
is not serviceable because it does not
dry.
Oil paints are next in value. Boil
ed linseed oil or any other drying
vegetable-not animal-oils, are us
ed with lead or any other body like
pulverized charcoal to give sub
stance. Immersion in crude petro-
leum is also recommended.
Charring of those parts which
come into contact with the ground
can be considered only as an imper-
fleet preservative, unless consider
able layer of charcoal is formed, and
if it is not carefully done, the effect
is often detrimental, as the process
both weakens the timber and pro-
duces cracks, thus exposing the in
terror to ferments.
Lastly, in communities where dur
able timber is scarce it will pay to
establish plant for impregnating
timber with antiseptics by the more
costly processes described in Fores-
try Bulletin No. 1.

deep, warm soils and isolated posi-
ton, are most durable.
The resinous substances in conf
ers form an element of protection
against decay.
TIME OF FEELING.
5. With proper after-treatment
of the wood, the time of telling
seems not to affect its durability.
Early winter telling December)
should have the preference, because
less fermentable sap is then in the
trees, and the timber will season
with less care, more slowly and
more evenly, and before the temper
ature is warm enough for fermenta-
ton to set in.
If the wood is cut ssin the sap'' it
is more liable to fermentation and to
the attacks of insects, and more care
is necessary in seasoning; for the
rapid seasoning due to warm dry at

soned coat which elvefopes an un-
seasoned interior liable to decay.
When cut in the leaf it is advanta-
geons to let the trees lie full length
until the leaves are thoroughly with
cred q or 3 weeks, before cutting
to size. With conifers this is good
practice at any season, and if it can
be done, all winter-felled trees
should be left lying to leaf out in
the spring, by which most ofthe sap
is worked out and evaporated.
TREATMENT AFTER FEELING.
6. Always remove the bark from
felled timber to aid seasoning but
not from the standing tree.
Never allow the log to lie directly
on the moist soil.
If winter-felled, shape the timber
to size within two weeks after telling
and leave it placed on blocks-not
upon the soil-in the forest. or if
shaped 1t home place in dry, airy
not windy-position away from
sun and rain.
If dried too rapidly, wood warps
and splits, the cracks collect water
and the timber is then easily attack
ed and destroyed by rot.
With large logs, checking may be
prvented by coating the ends with
some fatty or oily substance mixed
with brick dust; or covering with a
piece of linen, cloth, or even paper,
or by simply shading them to lessen
evaporation; cracks on the sides may
be filled in with tow or cotton.
When piling timber, place laths or
sticks of uniform size at uniform dis
tances under each log, or post, or
tie.
Sufficiently thorough seasoning
for most purposes is obtained in II
to Is months, while for special work,
according to the size, from 2 to IL
years is required.
