IMITATION OF HARDwoops
How Furniture Manufacturers Meet a
 Contingency.

NrN
 Perhaps no set of men appreciate the seriousness of the timber supply question more than those engaged in the manufacture of furniture. They have realized for some years that a pinch in the hardwood market is sure to come, and they have succeeded In coping with the situation by the econ omical use of material by the practice of veneering and the imitation of the highest priced hardwoods.
 During the last few years the great increase in the price of hardwoods has created strong demand for wood which can be used in imitation. The two woods that are most successfully initiated are mahogany and oak, par tlcularly the quartered oak in the golden and darker finishes. Almost without exception, the manufacturer markets these limitations, either as limitations or under some registered trade name, and does not pretend to deceive his customers.
 For initiating mahogany, cherry was formerly used almost entirely, but

TO RECOVER THE MAINE.
American Mechanics Ask President to
 Talle Action.

New York, Oct. 29.-The 41OOO mem- Aers of the New Jersey Junior Order of the United American Mechanics who deplore the fact that the wreck of the battleship Maine still lies in the har- bor of Havana and that many of the bodies of the crew are still in the hulk, have adopted resolutions asking Presi- dent Roosevelt to take action looking to the removal of the wreck and the proper burial of the dead.
 These resolutions, which will be sent to the president, request him to in clude in his annual message to con- gress a recommendation for legislation that will result in the speedy removal of the wreck to the United States and the interment of the bodies with appro- priate honors.

GOLD A MERE MANUFACTURE.
Tn Some Places There's Nc More
 Romance Than About Brickkiln.


 The time has come when gold is an article cf manufacture. There are practically exhaustless tracts of rock and soil in which gold is being pro- duced in enormous quantities with absolute elimination of risk. I shall briefly consider two typical instances of "goId manufacture, either one of which is sufficient to doom gold as medium of exchange.
 In 1884 the discovery of the great est deposits of gold in all history was made known. This was in the Witwa- tersrand district of the TransYaal of South Africa. Compared with it the famous Comstock mines were nothing. Not until recent years has it been possible to go ahead in the extraction of the billions of gold which are scat tered through the rocks and soil of the Witwatersrand It required new processes, but science and invention supplied them Here Is Cold-bear- ing reef, 40 miles in length 20 miles in width, and in which borings to a depth of $500 feet show gold in un- diminished quantities! How much gold is there in the Witwatersrand? Hundreds probably thousands of bil- lions of dollars of it.
 The Witwatersrand conglomerate carries only the insignificant amount 'of 10 pennyweight of gold to the ton, but 1t runs uniform, therefore 1t is only question of machinery and la bor to determine the yield, Money supplies the machinery and China the labor The annual production of the Transvaal gold factories now exceeds $100 0,000,000, and the record is broken every month. If labor can be had there is no reason why the output should not reach hal; billion a year, and the rock can be worked for cen thries without making a serious inn presson on its vast extent.
 Not many years ago it was discov- cred that all of the soil in the Sacra- mento and san Joaquin valleys was filled with gold, We will consider what is being done in the Sacramento. For hundreds of miles this river runs through broad valley of a width varying from 20 to more than 100 miles. When it became know that gold was scattered through the soil of this 2O,Oo0 square miles of valley, capital called on science and irven- ton for assistance. The distant moun- tains were made to furnish water power for electricity. Then there was built a floating gofd factory at a cost of $250,00O. It took a position near a bank of the river, and with it's dredging appliances began to eat it's way into the soil The mud and dirt were carried over the huge scow, the gold extracted, the tailings were dumped in the rear. Thus was wit messed the strange sight of a factory crawling slowly overland toward the distant foothills, It rested in a canal of it's own making; 1t was run with electrical power generated by a noun tain brook; it1~orked 24 hours a day with three shifts of men; the amount of gold extracted was as uniform as the thrust of It's motors; it's mine was an ocean of mud, there was no more romance about it's operation than there is about a brickkiln, and yet that $250,000 gold factory made a net factory m, -aa dgnivm. mddah -i1vs6 lsIU eua ooO'OOs$ Jo ayoId lsu | F.

BERLIN EDITOR UPHELD NOT GUILTY OF LIBEL
Court Decides Harden Was Jus
 tified in Report of Infa- nous Court Clique.

Berlin, Oct. 29,-Maximilian Harden editor of Die Zukunft was acquitted to- day in the suit brought against him for defamation of character by Gen. Count Kuno von Moltke, formerly military governor of Berlin. In addition. Gen. von Moltke was condemned to bear the costs of the trial.
 The trial. whic began Oct. 2S, at tracted the greatest interest throughout Germany. Counsel for Herr Harden charged that the court clique Of which won MoItke was member, was guilty of infamous crimes and also had sought to exercise undue influence over Em- peror William.
 The trial is already having consider able political effect. One hundred and forty Socialist daily newspapers are attacking the monarchlal principle with studied fury, mocking, sneering savage ly, and assailing the exotic conditions which have been described as flour ishing in the hothouse atmosphere or the court" where the sovereign Is sur rounded, the Socialists claim with con- panions and councillors the corruption of whose private lives taints their judgment.
 The newspapers, regardless of party affiliations, printed full accounts of the proceedings and some of the Influential liberal papers, like the Frankfurter zel- tung, affirm that it Is evident that in the Moroccan controversy with France, Germany followed two policies, that Of the Foreign Office and that of the sov- ereign the latter being attributed to Prince gu Eulenburgs influence working independently of his majesty constitutional advisers.

the diminished supply and the in- creased price of this wood have led manufacturers to seek a substitute which would lend itself more readily to the stain than cherry, and, at the same time, show the grain and hold the gloss. For these reasons birch, especially curly birth, maple, beech, and gum are extensively used for all parts of furniture. Even in the bet ter grades of mahogany furniture birch and maple stained to mahog- any finish are often, used for posts and frames while genuine mahogany, in the form of veneer, is used for panels, tops, and rolls.
 In making imitation quartered oak, almost any wood can be used, since in this case the original grain of the wood is first covered with a filler and then the quartering is printed on In dark ink by the impression of actu- al quartered oak rolls, or by a trans fer from quartered oak prepared by special processes. Birch, maple, pop lar, and plain sawed oak are comz. nlonly used for this work. After 4 wood has been finished and polished, the imitation apears so real that only an expert can detect the difference.
 Certain woods used in furniture construction are extremely expensive, owing to the difficulty of obtaining pieces with a good grain of sufficient size for working. Such, for in- stance is Circassian walnut. This, which comes from the Ural noun tains, is largely used in the form of veneers for chair backs, panels and tops in bedroom suites, table tops, etc. the balance of the piece of fur Initure being composed either of American or black walnut (natural lnish), or of satin walnut, commonly nown as red gum. The latter, while it does not often show the beautiful grain of the panel, is so near the col or of plain Circassian walnut that only close scrutiny can detect the diff fereree York Evening Post
