A POINTER FOR aELIeIBJLEn MEN.

e 1t was only an incident but it was
exceptional enough to mean much.
Coming up Third avenue. the other
evening on a street car were a girl and
her mother. The young woman was
smartly dressed, intelligent, a type Of
the best Of those women Of
foreign parentage born in this
country and ambitious and capable
enough to make herself a business
woman and to earn good wages in an
uptown store. The old lady was an
other distinct type. She was as much
a part of Bohemia as tho She had Just
stepped ashore at Ellis Island Clean,
neat as a new pin, with kindly and
face, her clothing, express
sion and manner all bore the label,
made in Bohemia She was odd in
that crowd, there is no gainsaying that
she was odd and drew the glances of
the theater going throng.
But her daughter was queen. She
paid strict attention to her mother.
They chatted as they rode the daugh-
ter in clean cut expressive and well
chosen United States, the mother in
broken English. This girl was taking
her mother out to the theatrical event
OF the season She was showing her
a good time The broken English and
the queer clothes didn't bother her.
Without suggestion of self conscious
ness her attitude told the other pas
sengers that this was her good old
mother and that compared to her COM
fort and happiness that car load OF
other people might be millionaires or
hottentots so far as it affected the re-
lations between these two. She wasn't
ashamed of her mother. Every other
passenger had seen the other side; the
girl who had learned the customs ana
the language and left her mother at
home to wash and cook and mend
while she went abroad fearing that
some on might know or recall thai
her folks were foreigners and
queer; the girl who compares her

soned timber must be piled for
several weeks before it is in
proper condition for treatment, or
else it has to be subjected to vari-
Gus processes to season it artifici
ally. This artificial seasoning is ex-
pensive and is liable to reduce the
strength of the timber; therefore
sound dead timber is really more
valuable for preservative purposes
than green is. 1t also happens that
most dead timber in the West has
an open. porous structure and can
be treated by simple and mex
pensive process without the use of
complicated apparatus required
by other kinds or wood.

THE USE OF DEAD TIMBER
IN THE NATIONAL FOREST.
By E. R. Hodson.

since burning. and vast quantities
of timber killed by FIRE twenty or
thirty years ago are entirely free
from decay.
Fire killed timber should be
bark:d soon after it is killed, in
order to prevent decay of surface
If the bark has been left on, the
sap wood is somewhat decayed.
Lodgepole pine and Engelmann
spruce have about the same dura-
bility; after twenty-five years
about so per cent is usually stand
ing. and the fallen timber. If no,
fiat on the ground. lasts FIVE or six
years. Balsam lasts about one-third
as long. Standing Douglas hr lasts
almost indefinitely. and even when
Hat on the ground decays but
slowly. Yellow pine decays more
rapidly, since it occurs mainly be-
low an elevation of 1900 feet. On
the other hand. on account of the
openness OF IT'S stand. it is rarely
killed by fire.
4 In many places i; is the popular
opinion that dead timber is very
much weaker than seasoned green
timber. II is even held that timber
which has been dead number OF
years is weaker than green timber,
and the longer i, stands the weaker
il becomes. These views are quite
wrong. BY actual test 1t has been
shown that sound timber. as
matter of fact. Is almost as strong
as seasoned green TIMBER and
much stronger than green timber
before seasoning.
Seasoning greatly adds TO the
strength of timber, so that in order
to make the comparison fair one
the green and the dead timber
must be brought TO the same con-
dition of seasoning When this is
done. the tests indicate that dead
white fr is about nine tenths as
strong as green white FIR which has
been seasoned and about twice as
strong as green TIMBER freshly cut.
Since the principal defect of
dead timber is check. it has been
used largely in the round for mine
timbers. coal props. telephone
poles, railroad ties, and fence
posts. The better grades are also
used tor dimension stock. which is
not seriously affected by the shall
low checks found in these grades.
Ii is not much used for inch stuff.

A study of the amount, location,
and quality of hre-killed timber,
and of the extent to which it is
used. has been made by the Forest
Service in number ofthe National
Forests in the Southern Rocky
Mountain region. This brought out
very strikingly. first, that sound
dead timber is valuable. and. sec
ond. that though widely used in
some localities it is regarded as
not worth using in others. The
timber which was not being used
was found to be fully as good as
the other. and the only cause for
rejecting it proved to be ignorance
Of its true value.
There are three classes of dead
timber: (D fire-killed timber. (2)
timber killed by insects, and (S)
timber killed by such other causes
as drying out or lightning.
Fire-killed timber. which is the
best. forms BY far the largest part
of the dead timber in shs, ational
Forests. and is found throughout
them. Insect killed timber. though
widely scattered. is usually re-
stricted to small areas. In some
localities. however. particularly in
the Black Hills. South Dakota.
there are many millions OF feet OF
such timber. Dead timber OF the
third class is mainly met with IN
single trees or small groups. but
the aggregate amount o, it is large
Unless otherwise stated the dead
timber hereafter discussed is FIRE
killed timber.
The area covered by the study
was approximately 100000
acres. On this area there is esti
mated to be 1900, 900 feet board
measure of mcrchantable dead
timber. or about 1 per cent of the
total merchantable stumpage.
About SO per cent of this. espe-
cially of the larger dimensions. is
ht for saw lumber. and all OF it can
be utilized in the round. There is
also a large number Of cordwood,
suitable only for fuel, charcoal. and
similar purposes.
The principal defect of fire.
killed timber is check. This ap-
pears soon aftcrthe death of the
tree. and apparently does not
greatly increase later. Timber
above 1900 feet elevation is not
affected by decay for many years.
Such timber has been used after
more than fifty years have elapsed
