Manufacture OF Excelsior.

Poplar is one Of the most rapid grow
ing Of our northern deciduous trees. 1t
springs up. a kind OF volunteer forest
crop, where the spruce and pine have
been cut away, and though not in fa-
Vor for building purposes, it is much
sought for by the wood pulp and eX-
ceiSior manufacturers. Thousands of
cords of it are converted into excelsior
by machines that shave the wood into
tiny ribbons. 50 fine that they might
easily be drawn through the eve of a
fair sized needle. The excelsior falls
from the machines onto an endless
belt. which conveys it to an elevator
and is then carried to the baling room
Here it is compressed into bales
weighing from 200 to 300 pounds each.
and is ready for shipment.
The trees are cut in June; the bark
is at once removed but the tons are
not cut away from the body of the
tree. as experience has taught the
woodsman that the lumber will dry
faster if the leaves are left on. The
wood seasons very rapidly through
July and August, and by the first of
September workmen begin to saw up
the timber into four-foot lengths for
delivery to the mills Thrty-fiye or 40
years ago, poplar was regarded as "A
useless timber. sort Of a forest weed
but modern enterprise has found a
permanent market for another crop Of
our northern woods.

BarnesvtlIe for the Eclipse.
Mr.. Otis Ashmore will leave tonight for
GAINESVILLE, where he will be an interest
ed observer Of the solar eclipse Barnes
Vile is in the line of totality, and the gov
eminent has established an observatory
there for the special purpose of taking
scientific notes on the phenomenon. Mr..
Ashmore has been asked by the director
of the naval observatory to assist in these
observations, and it will be in the capacity
of a government observer that he will
view the eclipse He will make drawings
of a section of the corona.
1t is not known on just what days they
will go, as the eclipse occurs Monday
morning, but the following gentlemen have
expressed a determination to go to
GAINESVILLE also Mr.. J. r. Saussy, MIR.
G.. B. Whatley and DIR. w. f. Aiken.
General Passenger Agent j. C. Halle of
the Central Railroad will also go with his
family.
DR.. Aiken will go as a scientist, while
the others will be influenced merely by a
desire to witness the eclipse as a phe-
nomenon. Dr. Aiken will have a camera
with which he will endeavor to catch snap
Shots OF the shadow bands" II he is
successful his name will become known in
scientific circles He is an expert anna
teur photographer, and his associates in
that line in the city will be interested to
know If he succeeds in his mission.
The shadow bands are almost invari-
able features of an eclipse OF the sun
They Immediately precede the event. Just
before the moment of contact the entire
atmosphere of the earth usually becomes
all a-Quiver, causing attractions. These
pass as a fringe along surfaces, showing
with rapidity as shadows. Never vet have
scientists been able to Judge accurately
of the properties of these shadow bands %
and Dr.. Aiken. IL he succeeds, will make
valuable contribution to science
A screen, a camera and quick plates will
be used. If the rapidly passing bands"
can be photographed a great deal may be
learned about them
