The Growing Demand for 1t in Large
Eastern Cities.

I-ft7lS- Il NAt+C1ss
A gentleman largely interested in tim
Der lands i'll California writes to a corre
spondent in this state as follows:
BOsTON, December 4, 1892
! have spent the last month travelling
about the principal Atlantic cities, and so
far have visited Philadelphia, Whining
ton DELI, Pittsburg, Buffalo, Albany
and Boston. / have found red-cedar
shingles in every city, mostly from
Puget Sound, and at Wilmington,
Albany, Philadelphia and here L
have found cargOes. or part car
goes, of Puget Sound fir, large dimen-
sions and long lengths. Here l also
found full cargo OF spars cut on the Co.
lumbia Not a dealer or consumer but
attributes the present growing demand
for tir in car and shipbuilding and for
heavy structural work to the work and
reports of the United States Forestry
Commission, which more than anything
substantiated the neat advertising and
testimonial report issued by The PacIhc
Pine Lumber Company. The result Ct
my observations is that on this side there
is great demand for decking plank,
generally three inches thick, six to four
teen inches wide, and mostly in long
lengths. Fir has been tried for that pur-
pose and does not suit, because 1t shrlnks
and VIII not calk well, and because it
slivers too much, like hemIock.
Now, have an idea that such yellow
pine as grows on the McClOud and Kla-
math Rivers would make splendid deck
ing and not have the faults above enumer-
ated. | make the suggestion, thinking
that the Pacific Coast boat-builders and
owners may be induced to make the OK
pertinent on their steamers and Jerry
boats and will take some interest in hav-
ing the Union Iron Works and other con-
Germs try it. Tests of tensile strength and
transverse strain of Arizona bull pine
have been made with results much below
those of fir, and / am sure that no wood
except oak has the strength of fir, but we
know that the Oregon and California
yellow pine is far superior to Arizona
bull pine for all purposes. Sugar pine
has been tried little in New \ ork and
takes well. | have an order for 100000
feet to go there, but am not sure can
make price to yield a profit. But yell
low pine is much more plentiful on the
coast and ! believe | can successfully in
troduce it into the Atlantic cities for GER
tain uses, and that wider market for it
would also materially increase the lum-
ber traffic Of California.

Newsy Paragraphs of Interest to Prae
ticaI Men

recent official publication issued by
tne french Government gives instruc-
lIoHs Tor the preservation OF tubular boil
erS When not in use. 1t states that thew
should be completely filled with water.
the acldlty OF which has been neutralized
ny the addition of lime or soda. Exter-
halIy tne tubes should be painted. where
accessible, with red lead or coal tar. but
Such parts as cannot be got at for this may
pe preserved by burning coal tar under
thein. Inc smoke of the tar is condensed
III the cold tubes and forms there a Dro-
tecllns layer which prevents corrosion.
A recent writer in the Chemical Mems
suggests an ingenious method of deter
INNING the quantity of steam produced in
poIIef from given weight OF coal.
NhoSt waters contain CELEBRATES, the esti-
mates OF which is easily effected by vol
umetllc analysis. The only instrument
required is a Durette. The rearent is a
standard solution OF nitric OF silver,
which IS added to a known volume Of
water. The least excess of the silver So
iutioh Is indicated by the red coloration,
winch argentic nitrate gives with potas-
SUM cnronlate. By comparing the ana
lysls OF the water in the boiler before and
4ltef ihe trlaI, the quantity of steam pro-
uuceu can De calculated. The method,
Wnlie extremely simple, is believed to be
liable to error by priming.
1he l0ea of using beet juices instead of
water III steam boilers has again attracted
some attention in Belgium. The Juices
are heated to 2480 T., at which tempera-
lure there is no danger Of sugar inver-
sion. The steam obtained is used in a
regular way about the factory. The
thlckened juice is subsequently reduced
to syrup.
Among marine architects abroad it is
beginning to be serious question
whether iron is not better than steel for
ordinary shlpbuilding purposes, and the
cases OF the old Sarah Sands, Great Brit
am and Great Eastern are quoted as prov
ing that lron-plated ships, with their in
creased thickness and better riveting.
are much stronger and more lasting than
the steel constructed vessels of the pres
ent day.
\ compound draughting triangle has
peen designed by a y estern inventor, the
instrument combining the 45 and 5O-de-
gree triangle and a small curve. The 30
degree triangle is formed by the outside
euges OF the instrument, while the 45-de-
gree angle and the curve are laid Off on
opposite sides of an arm projecting from
the inner edge OF the short leg of the tri-
angle.
An English scientist has shown recently

DIDN'T WANT HIM

Mcfarland, Alias Micky Doyle, Not
Wanted at the Bay.
The man arrested here who gave his
name as James Mcfarland, but who was
identified as AGicky Doyle. was released
yesterday. Officer Talbot, who arrested
Doyle, was reliably informed that he had
escaped from the san Francisco Jail and
was being held to answer there on several
charges Of burglary or larceny.
1t took three days to get a reply from
the San Francisco police, and then they
telegraphed that Doyle was just released
from the House Of Correction.
Talbot thinks there is mistake, or a
pulp somewhere.
