Where SnIints are Made.

Down below the Santa Fe round.
house, near the railroad tracks, is a
factory unlike any other in the United
States, or, for that matter, anywhere
else. 1t makes splints for the use OF
surgeons in bandagIng broken limbs,
from peculiar fibrous material that
possesses especial adaptabilIty for the
purpose. This material is the wood
of the yucca palm, which grows
plentifullys on the Mojave Desert.
The trees are cut down and trimmed
into logs about ten or twelve feet long,
and from ten inches upward in diane
ter, and shipped to the factory, where
they are stripped of bark and care
fully inspected. About half or moro
of the logs contain what might be
called flaws, or kidney colored masses,
so hard that the machinery used can
not cut them. Nobody seems able to
explain how these formations are
caused, but they make the men at the
factory great deal of trouble and
spoil much timber. The logs are sawed
up into suitable lengths, a length put
into lathe and n long knife is pressed
against it, taking off a shaving about
one-eighth of an inch thick, more or
less, according to the use to be made
OF It, This long shaving or board is
then cut into smaller pieces and put
away in racks to dry, for the trees are
cut up when green, it being impossible
to soften them after they are dried.
Although they grow in the desert and
Joo& parched to the eye, they are full
of water and weigh so much when
green that they sink in water. The
poorer quality of the yucca is cut up
into narrow strips, which are fastened
around young fruit trees to protect
them from sunburn and the attack of
rabbits, for which purpose they are
found to answer admirably, and
great many of them are used, But
the use of this material upon which
the greatest hope of ultimate profit is
based is for splints, for which 1t is
much better adapted than any other
material used, as well rs being
cheaper Angeles Journal.
