great ship. The raft extends many
feet under water and arches 10 feet
above. One hundred and fifty tons of
mammoth chain binds the mass. One
main chain extends from end to end;
from this belt chains placed at frequent
intervals extend clear around the raft.
When the raft is finished the cradle
separates into two parts by the removal
of key pins, and the parts are hauled
out of the way. An immense manila
hawser as large around as a mans body
will serve as the tow rope. Two sea-
going tugs will tow the raft, burning
oil, which will be supplied by an oil
ship which will accompany the fleet"
Such a raft could be constructed no.
where else in the world, for in no other
country can be found the giant trees
and the necessary facilities for forming
them into a raft. The illustration
shows a 700-foot raft which success
fully made trip from the Columbia
River to San Francisco in 10 days. Sew
eral previous attempts at ocean rafting
have met with failure, the RATS going
to pieces during storm. The floating
logs constitute a great danger to naV1-
cation, and float to great distances.
Pieces of one Oregon raft were found
months later thousands OF miles away
on the coasts of Hawaii and Mexico.
improvements and additional safe
guards have since been made. The big
raft is being constructed under the SUI
perintendence of Hugh r. Robertson,
the father of ocean giant log rafting,
and if this one safely makes the voyage
Of over 5000 miles it is expected to net
a profit of $50, or more.
The logs composing the raft will be
used for spars and piling. In hosting
them into the cradle, they are lifted
one by one by derrick operated by
hosting engine. each log being left in

every log on it's seesaw course through
the air, guiding it's descent.
The enterprise is looked upon as VEN
turesome in the extreme, though the
builders are sanguine of success. The
cost of building the raft is enormous,
the cradle alone costing thousands of
dollars

GPafting-Wax.

Editor National Tribune: Please d.
rect me how to make a good grating
wax that will stick firmly and not peel
off too quickly?-Ebenezer Adams
Vernon, Wis.
The ordinary formula used in maxi
ing a graftingwax for outdoor pur-
poses Is four parts rosin, two parts
beeswax and one part of beef taiIow
These substances should be melted and
thoroughly mixed; the resulting liquid
Is poured into a pail of cold water;
then the operator should grease his
hands and work the mass thoroughly
az in candy-making or taffy-pulling
Wax made in this way and thoroughly
worked should not peel off when prop
erly applied to the stubs. There is
another wax made by using rOsIn and
very small proportion of tallow melt
ed together, to which is added alcohol
This liquefies the rosin and holds it in
a plastic condition, so that the wax
may be applied with a brush; but it is
much more expensive than the former
and has no special advantages
