EUCALYPTUS WOOD
PROVES ITS VALUE
Use in Interior Furnishings and Manufacture
of Fine Furniture Most Satisfactory

Since articles on the subject OF eu-
calyptus culture and profits began ap-
pearing on this page, The Call has re-
ceived several communications asking
whether hardwood eucalyptus used in
finishing interiors OF buildings would
have been asked concerning furniture
made from eucalyptus wood.
Practically all of the eucalyptus
used in interior finishing in California
was wood which came into the port
of San Francisco from Australia as
Australian mahogany. and often
even the dealer did not know that
that was but common name for the
seasoned wood OF certain eucalypts
An investigation has been made where
this wood is known to have been used
in buildings, and no evidence what
ever OF warping has been found The
statement may be made that the wood
does not warp or spring. Even when
eucalyptus logs are left exposed TO the
weather for years. there is little
warping or checking.
MAKES FINE FINISH
fine example of the use of euca-
lyptus in interior trimming is the
Crosse building at Sixth and Spring
streets. Los Angeles. The wood has
attracted much attention by it's beauty
and the splendid polish it takes The
contractors and the owner of the
building are highly gratihed after the
lapse of several years. The architects
of the building, Train Williams
write as follows: We believe that
the use of finish wood like in the
Crosse building should be encoura ged
by architects, as it is eminently salts
factory. We viii be pleased TO speci-
fy E. Globulus (blue gum) for finish
flooring"
E C. Kent, architect, writes that he
has used eucalyptus in finishing a
residence and that 1t proved 'emi-
nently satisfactory to all parties con
cerned.
Eucalyptus was used in the Chaney
residence, Los Angeles, by Architect
John c. Austin, who wrote of it, Il
find that the wood is very hard, that
1t is easily finished. and that there Is
very little trouble from shrinkage
after it is in place. The grain is
pleasing, and by proper method Of
staining an excellent result can be OBJ
tanned"

Something seems to be burning
downstairs. Is anything on f1re?"
"Oh, I'm only testing the sugar.
You see a simple way to find out If
1t is pure is to burn 1t. Pure sugar
will be entirely consumed. but If the
product has been adulterated an ash
will remain"
This aroused the wife's curiosity.
What happened to our sugar when
you set 1t on fire?" she inquired.

a charred coal. Some grated white
