Compressed Wood.

The advance in the price of some OF
the hard woods required in various
special branches of trade has directed
attention to the possibility Of producing
some less expensive material as a sub
stitute, and in one branch of trade this
has been carried out with very success.
full results. For the manufacture OF
loom shuttles lockwood has hitherto
been very largely used, but the price
OF this kind of wood has become al.
most prohibitive, and il has been found
that by compression of cheaper classes
OF timber-teak being about the most
suitable for this purpose substitute
meeting all the requirements can be OBJ
tanned. For carrying out this purpose
a Manchester firm has just completed a
powerful hydraulic press to be used
in COMPRISING timber for loom shut.
ties.
This press consists of a strong cast
iron top ard bottom, with four steel
columns aud a steel cylinder, with a
large ram. In the center of this ram
is fitted a similar one, with a rec.
tangular hsad, fitting into q die which
is placed on the top of the large ram.
The timber is put into this die, and a
pressure Ct fourteen tons per square
inch is applied. The pressure is then
relieved, and the large ram descends.
The top pressure block, which fits the
die. is then removed, and the small ram,
rising, pushes the timber out at the top
of the die. The timber so treated Is
made very dense and uniform, and SO
close grained that it is capable of taking
a very high finish. For the manufacture
of shuttles it has been found as good as
lockwood, and there is no doubt it will
be applied to other branches of industry
where expensive hard woods have to be
usal

DIRECTORS ARE RESPONSIBLE
important Decision Rendered In the
United states Court at Grand
Rapids.

Grand Rapids, Mich, April 24.-In the
United States court Judge Severens
filed a long decision, holding bank di.
rectors responsible for losses sustained
through their negligence and inatteu-
ton to business.
The Greenvflle National bank, organ
lied in 1854, with a capital Of $50, 900.
suspended in June, 1898, and Rupert T.
Gibbons was appointed receiver. The
liabilities were 1921, 1888, and nominal as
sets 1926, 600, and from these assets only
$40, 900 vas realized.
Leroy Moore, the president and man.
ager Of the bank, was a debtor either
direct or by endorsement for $l72. 76s,
and the investigation showed that the
bank was deliberately wrecked by
Moore and the funds Systematically
converted to his own use.
In deciding the case the court holds
that the failure was not the result of q
single fraud. but the malversion OF the
bank funds from the very beginning
The court also holds that Greenville

You who, Indeed. shall blow for war no

Marco ris,

At midnight. in his guarded tent,
The Turk was dreaming OF the hour,
When Greece, her knee in suppliance bent,
Should trefnble at his power.
In dreams through camp and court he bore
The trophies OF a conqueror:
In dreams, his song of triumph heard;
Then wore his monarch's slgnet-ring:
THIN pressed that monarch's throne-a
king;
As Wild his thoughts. and gay of wing,
As Eden's garden bard.
Al midnight in the forest shades,
BoZzaris ranged his Suliote band;
True as the steel of their tried blades,
Heroes In heart and ham
There had the Persians thousands stood,
There had the glad earth drunk their
blood,
On old Platea's day.
The sons Of s!res who conquered there,
With arms TO strike and souls to dare,
AS quick. az far as they.
An hour passed on-the Turk awoke:
That brigh dream was his last.
He woke-to hear his sentr.e s shrek,
ITO arms! they come! the Greek! the
Greeki"
He woke-to die mid flame and smoke,
And shout, and groan, and sabre-stroke,
And death shots falling thick and fast
AS lightnings from the mountain-cloud;
And heard, with voice as trumpet .oud.
BoZzaris cheer his band:
"Strike-till the last armed foe expires!
~Strike-for your affairs and our fires!
Strike-for the green graves OF your sires;
God-and your native land"'
They fought like brave men, long and
well;
They piled that ground with Moslem
slain;
They conquered, but Bozzaris fell.
Bleeding at every vein.
His few surviving comrades saw
HIS smile, when rang their proud hurrah,
And the red field was won;
Then saw I'm death his eyelids close
Calmly, as to a nights repose,
Like flowers at set or sun.
Come to the bridal chamber. Death!
Come to the mother. when she feels
For the first time her f~irst-born's breath;
Come when the blessed seals
That close the pestilence are broke,
And crowded cities wall its stroke;
Come In consumption's CHASTITY form,
The ~hquak shock, the ocean storm;
Come when the heart beats high and
warm,
With banquet-song, and dance and wine,
And thou art terrible; the tear,
The groan, the knell, the pail, the bier,
And all we know. or dream, or fear
OF agony are thine.
But 10 the hero, when his sword
Has won the battle for the free,
Thy voice sounds like a prophets word;
And in its hollow tones are heard
The thanks Of millions yet TO be.
Roxzaris, with the stored brave
Greece nurtured in her glory's time,
Best thee: there Is 10 prouder grave,
Even in her own proud cline.
We toll thy doom without a sigh:
For thou art Freedoms now. n Fame's;
one OF the few, the immortal names.
That were not born to die,

Alabastine.

Chicago Inter Ocean, Feb. %: Readers
of the Inter Ocean have often seen Ala
bastine prominently mentioned in these
columns during many years past. The
main counting room on the first floor OF
the building was daintily and beautifully
decorated with Alabastine, both walls and
ceiling, seven years ago, and has been
nicely cleaned five times, though badly
smoked each year.
The same room has just been handsome
ly redecorated in freehand Alabastine
modelling in the delicate tints and other
Alabastine work, and the effect is very
beautiful, even surprising the original
work of seven years ago.

whole of the United States for sixteen
years.
This is the SINE as the original except
