Wood That Causes sneezIng.

Among its many curious products
South Africa includes the ''sneeZe
wood" tree, which takes its name from
the fact that one cannot cut it with a
saw without sneezing, as the fine dust
has exactly the effect of snuff. Even
in planning the wood it will sometimes
cause sneezinG. No insect, worm or
barnacle will touch il. 1t is very bitter
to the taste, and when placed in water
it will sink. The color is light brown
and the grain very close and hard.
For dock work. piers or jetties it is a
useful timber, lasting a long while un-
der water.
