CARPENTRY IN THE FAR EAST.
Adjacent Countries, DO Clever
work with Primitive Tools.

In our big lumber mills, where great
pine sticks are reduced to kindling in
a few minutes, the millman is merely
required to see that the stick is SCI
cured straight in the carriage. He
would be bewildered, says Andrew APP
pleton, in Everybody's Magazine. IL
compelled suddenly to follow the Phil
ippine method of lumber reduction.
There the largest sticks are sawed by
hand Even woods as hard as teak
are set up on frame, and two labor
ers monotonously pull big band-saw
through its tough length for days and
days until they have produced the
slabs Of which eastern furniture is
made. Our modern carpenter Is little
more than Joiner of parts. The in
tricate holdings and headings come
ready finished and all he has to do is
to put them together. But the car
penter OF the far east receives the
wood in the rough. exactly as 1t is left
by the band-sawyer. He must carve
his holdings before they can be
placed in the houses. In India, China,
Turkey, Syria and adjacent countries
these clever artisans may be seen
working with tools as primitive al
most as those used in the days before
America was discovered.

VALUABLE SLATE LAND.

I'm.

The inexhaustible slate deposits in
Berkeley county has been the
means of attracting the attention of
the outside business world. and cap
italists from all parts of the country
have been acquiring large tracts of
slate land in q very quiet manner,
thus keeping the public at large in
ignorance of the fact that the develop
ment now going on indicates great
industrial future for the eastern part OF
the state.
During the past two months there
has been considerable excitement in
and about the com munity of Martins
burg in relation to several expert slate
geoloRists coming to tNNs vicinity.
who, it is presumed. wereNnt down
here by slate manufacturers for the ex-
press purpose of testing cleavage aud
market quality of the slate. and al
though nobody has interviewed these
men, public opinion regards their
investigation as favorable criteri-
on. owing to the large sums of money
having been invested in slate terri
tory since their departure.
AS a matter of fact, the people of
Berkeley county owning slate proper
ty seem TO be getting aware OF the
fact that there is great future in
store for them and rs result of
the present investments made IN
this county, property has advanced
from $3.50 Der acre to $500, and IN some
instances as high as $780,
On the 2gth day of October the sec
retarv Of state issued charter to the
Superior Slate Manufacturing Co,
which has been recently been organ
lied with a capital Of Sl25, 600 to de-
veloD their slate territory purchased
recently at a cost Of $3.50 an acre.
The slate business has now become
quite extensively known and is no
longer secret, consequently men are
hocking in cm day TO day from Pitts
burg, Wheeling, New York, ,Cincin-
natti, and in fact. from all parts of
the country. There is 10 question
about the slate in Berkeley county
being the largest aud pIobably the
best deposits of It's kind in the states,
and the people who had formerly been
laboring under an impression that the
deposit in this territory was ONLY a
mass of shale have awakened to the
fact that the actual resources, which
seem to be inexhaustibfe aud the quail
| ification of same have been kept a
secret from them. and their relative
merits. geological reports, etc have
been pigeonholed by nothing more or
less than political influences. The
slate in this country such as we find
in the peach bottom and Lehigh re-
gion cannot be purchased for So, 00t

appreciate the fact that the price
