VENEER PRODUCTION.

Some Woods Can he Sawed as Thin as
Writing Paper.
While the finer and thinner veneers
of costly woods are sliced tangentially
from the side of the log, there are
woods that cannot be cut this way--no
RmoHnt of boiling or steaming render
ing it possible to cut them without
/breaking down the tissues to such an
extent as to destroy their surfaces for
polishing-while others, says Hard
wood, becoming discolored from
steaming or boiling, and being too hard
to cut otherwise, have to be sawed.
The fine-toothed, thin-gauge circular,
with fianged center, is the favorite for
cutting all ordinary veneers thicker
than so to the inch; 20 to the inch is the
thickness most commonly used for cab
met work and finishing, but much
thinner is used in the case of rare and
costly woods, or rare abnormal or acci-
dental figures, as in the case of burIs-
Some woods have to be cut much thick
er, being unable to bear handling when
too thin; genuine ebony, the only fine
really jet-black wood known, and large
enough to be of any use, will not stand
saving much below one-fourth of an
inch in thickness, owing to the extreme
brittleness or want of cohesion, but
there are other woods that can be cut as
thin as writing paper and still be
handled in large sheets. Other woods
there are that will lose their fine color
on exposure to the atmosphere, espe-
cially smoky one; these are cut only

ANIMAL WARFARE.
Monkeys of Africa Depend Upon Their
Numbers and Discipline.

Monkeys of Africa Depend Upon Their
Numbers and Discipline.
The conditions of the life of the mon
key in Africa are sufficiently curious
without reference to their acquired
habits. though these are undoubtedly
due to the dangers to which the nature
of the country in which they live eX-
poses them. The different species of
baboons, which are found commonly
over the whole African continent, are
all by nature dwellers in the open coun-
try. They find their food on the ground,
and whether this be insects or vege-
tables, it is usually in places which af-
ford little shelter or protection. Though
strong and well armed with teeth, they
are slow animals, with little of the mon
key agility when on the ground, and
not particularly active even when
climbing among rocks.
In a rocky ''kopjes" of the south, says
the Spectator, of the cliffs and river
sides of Abyssinia and the Nile tribu-
taries, they are safe enough. But they
often abandon these entirely to invade
the low country. During the Abyssin-
ian expedition conducted by Lord Ma
pier of Magdaia they regularly camped
near our environments on the coast and
stole the grain on which the cavalry
horses and transport animals were fed.
When on expeditions of this kind they
often leave their strongholds for days
together, and the means of joint de-
feuse from enemies in the open cOun-
try are then carefully organized. Their
natural enemies when thus exposed
are the leopard, the lion, and the south
ern Africa and Cape wild dogs. To the
attack of the leopard they oppose mum
bers and discipline.

eAME-klLLINe FOXES.
Their Destructtveness Shown by the Cor
tents of n BurrOw.

Their Destructtveness Shown by the Con
tents of BurrOw.
Arthur S. Burr, of Old Haddam, wheI
going across lots recently discovered
the carcass of a woodchuck partly eat
en-, and little further along a ruffec
grouse. Thinking it was the work of
fox, he made search and found the bur.
row, with large black hen and two
more partridges at its mouth. Suspect
ing there were young partridges in the
row, he made up his mind to, return
and dig them out, as the town of Had
dam pays a bounty of two dollars a
head.
1t was five days before he had a
chance to do this, and when he dug out
the burrow with the assistance of
Sherm Fowler he found that the willy
mother fox had removed. They were
determined to have that bounty, and in
cidentally the foxes, and after long
search they found a new burrow, pick
ing up two more partridges on the way.
On digging out this new hole they took
out eight partridges, three rabbits and
a very large woodchuck, with five
young foxes in the end. The partridges
were partly eaten. but the wodchuck
was completely cleaned out, nothing
but the skin being left.
Sportsmen have long claimed that
foxes were more destructive to game
than all the hunters, and have noted
great increase of foxes in towns that
have not paid bounty for the last few
years. The only incentive the farmers
boys have for killing the fox is the
bounty money. Eight partridges in a
burrow but four days old show the
great. destructiveness of foxes

Sinking For Water.

The management of the Flagstaff mine
has placed force of miners to sinking,
and in few days the seven hundred
foot level will have been reached. The
company is still handicapped on account
of a lack of water, but the volume is
gradually increasing as depth is attained,
and judging from all indications 1t is
only a matter of time until a sufficient
quantity will be obtained. The mill is
now running ~ hours per day, and the
results are very encouraging. Mr.. E.
1mhaus, the agent of the French Flag
staff Mining Co., is pushing develop
ment work rapidly ahead under the su-
perintendence of Mr.. D. W. Reynolds,
but as yet he considers that the Flagstaff
is nothing more than a prospect, as he
is of the opinion that it will require ad-
ditional work to determine the perma-
nencY of the property. The gentleman
is a conservative mining man, and, un-
like many others engaged in this busi-
ness, he does not allow his enthusiasm
to get away with his better judgment.
However, with sufficientwater the Flag
staff will be enabled to make splendid
showing. Democrat.

FEw BIRDS OF PARADISE.
They Have Been Nearly All Destroyed to
Supply the Millinery Trade.


The bird of paradise most used In
islands and New Guinea, says writer
in Nature. Mr.. Wallace, in describing
the Paradisea apoda, says: From each
side of the body, beneath the wings.
springs a dense tuft of long and deli
cate plumes, sometimes two feet in
iength, of the most tgolden-orangec color,
and very glossy, but changing toward
the tips into pale brown. This tuft
of plumes can be elevated and spread
out at pleasure, so as almost to CON
ceal the body of the bird" Jules Forest
bitterly deplores the destruction which
has been going on during the last dec
ade. He emphasizes the fact that it
is no longer possible to procure such
perfect specimens as were common ten
years ago. since the unfortunate birds
are so hunted that none of them are al
lowed to live long enough to reach full
maturity. the full plumage of the
male bird requiring several years for
its development. He further states
''that birds which now flood the Paris
market are for the most part young
ones, still clothed in their first plum
age, which lacks the brilliancy dis
played in the older bird, and are con-
sequentIy of small commercial value' -
Since January 1, 1892, strict reguIa-
ticns for the preservation of the bird of
paradise have been in force in German
New Guinea, and NJ. Forest appeals to
the English and Dutch governments to
follow their good example.
The common sense of every thought
ful woman must at once tell her that
no comparatively rare tropical species,
such as the bird of paradise, can long
withstand this drain upon it, and that
this ruthless destruction merely to
pander to the caprice of a passing fash
ion, will soon place one of the most
beautiful denizens of our earth in the
same category as the great aux and

laughter which travelled rapidly down
