Some woods are SO precious that they sell by the

forms on the tree when young, and that the pro-

insect. The twisted burl produces in time strange
combinations of lines which take high polish.

Where Machinery Comes In

THE veneer machine has economical in the
of the rare woods and incidentally made them
more durable. The thin sheets when glued together
in panels do not crack warp, twist. The grains of
the different sheets placed in opposite directions
that when the article is finished it is impossible
to split it. Without this process it would be inn
possible to make perfect billiard table or piano
cover that would withstand violent climatic changes.
The interior trim of houses ships, railroad cars and
furniture is made in the way.
Thin veneers of softer woods responsible for
the innumerable boxes, baskets and packages
which come to doors every day with butter,
vegetables and berries. The trade in making these
light packages alone represents investments of
many millions of dollars. The veneer machine
makes light boxes barrels. milk bottles, and cheap
tableware Incidentally the machine is
working true economy in forest destruction. A
log which would formerly make only one or two
boxes or barrels now be made to produce nearly
one hundred times as many.

former political boss of San Fran

bribery. The verdict was returned ex-

when the deliberations of the jury had
been prolonged throughout a period of
"a hours. The warnings of Judge Will

police checked all attempted demon
Stration.
The trial, which has been in progress
for 1906 days, ended with surprising abb

jury room, and the hopes of Ruef and
his attorneys had risen with every
