CUBAN MAHOGANY.

Manufacture of Furniture.

Manufacture of Furniture.
Baltimore American.
Hardwood importers of this country are
at present exceedingly interested in the
prospective development of a trade with
Cuba In hardwood, and particularly ma
hogany, vast tracts of which cover the
mountains of the new American posses
sion. The interest comes Of the fact that
to the trade it has long been known that
the American source Of hardwood supply
began long ago TO wane, and before long
the chief source Of supply must be by
import from foreign forests. For half a
century American walnut reigned SUI
preme and supplanted TO a vast extent
mahogany. Today this famous hardwood
is passing, Where great forests of the
staunch tree once spread, barren or Gull
tivated acres extend, and year by year the
supply, which at one time seemed mex
haustible, has lessened, until the end is
in sight.
Manufacturers have of necessity turned
to other woods. and the once forestallGd

woods in place of the walnut

are now being used, through necessity,
despite the many disadvantages of so re-
mote a source.
1t Is, therefore, welcome prospect that
promises speedy development of the
Cuban forests as a source of supply, and
with the nearness TO this country 1t is
regarded as probable that the Cuban
hardwood, for a time at least, will eX-
clude from the American market the At

cation that the United States will again

MOON OF MARS.
Goes Through All Its Changes of
"Quarters" Every Night.

Goes Through All Its Chnnges of
"Guartcrs" Every Night.
Pittsburg Post
The inhabitants of the planet Mars-if
there are any-witness every night a
spectacle the like of which the astron-
omcrs tell us, may be seen nowhere else
in the universe. They have a moon that
rises in the west and sets in the east,
and that goes through all its phases in
single night. This moon, which is
called Phobos, Is only about seven miles
in diameter. and is less then 1000 miles
from Mars. Prof Hall, who discovered
1t and its companion, Delmos, in 1877.
found that it revolves around the planet
In seven hours and thirty-eight minutes,
and as the planet itself rotates in TWEEN
ty-four hours and thirty-seVen minutes
the moon makes a little more than three
revolutions while the planet is rotating
once 1t is this rapid motion that gives
Phobos its unique distinction. 1t moves
toward the east, the direction in which
Mars rotates, but it goes so fast that it
disappears below the eastern horizon and
reappears above the western three times
while Mars Is turning over one time.
Thus the Martians have new moon, q
crescent moon, half MOON a gibbous
moon, full moon and a new moon again
all in one night.
In the case of the earth and its moon
the conditions are reversed. The earth
turns over on its axis about twenty-seven
times while the moon is going around il
once The motion of each is toward the
east, but the more rapid movement OF the
earth makes the moon appear to be NOV
ing toward the west. That IT is really
going eastward is shown by it's rising
from forty-five to fifty minutes later
every night and by the daily change of
It's position among the stars
