FORTUNES IN FANCY WOODS

Of the best logs have netted their own
,ers as much as $4,000. These high
priced logs are used entirely for ven
eer work; that is, they are cut up
into very thin cardboard and used to
complete the finish of pianos and
high grade mahogany furniture, the
base of which is wood of a cheaper
grade. A great deal of the mahog-
any used in this country comes from
South America and Cuba, but the big,
fine "sticks" come from Africa.
In the same yard lie big logs of
Spanish cedar, used in the making of
racing shells, and this is an equally
costly wood.
In corner of the yard, almost sur
rounded by the big fancy fellows, lies
all that remains )f the once famous
Harvard elm, piece of the trunk cut
at the point where it forked. AS a
piece of an American elm 1t is, of
course, not costly wood but It's as
sociations have been such that it is
kept among the rare woods, waiting
to be cut up and fashioned into fur
niture for Harvard college.

NERVE POWER is TO ~

on Health Of Officers and

Victory in the next great naval wal
will be won by the people possessing
the greatest store of healthy nerve
power. That Is the conviction OF tho
German navy department, according ts
the Marine Rundsohau.
The naval authorities, It says, ar,
deyoting special attention to the ques
ton of keeping in perfect health the
nerves of officers and men on war
ships. Care is taken that the condi
lions in which the crews live shall be
as perfect as possible from a hygienit
point Of view; that the food is ap
peuzing, varied and nutritious, that
the men take proper exercise, have
the necessary rest and recreation ant
are kept in good spirits.
The ships doctors are also instruc
ted to watch very carefully for any
signs Of nervous strain. and when such
is found the cause is TO be thorough
Iy inquired into Everything possible is
done to insure a suhiciency Of sount
and healthy men,
THE average OF our crews, the
Rundschau concludes, is quite equa,
to the exceedingly severe demands
that naval life makes and must make
and promises TO accomplish in case OF
war all that healthy men can accom-
plish Our doctors must see that the
standard is maintained. No danger
however, exists.
Nervous diseases can become dan
gerous only to tired nations which can
not replace the men who fall out
