WOOD WORTH $4,000 PER CORD.
Used to Make Bearings for SkOwhe.
gan Water Wheels.

II it were not for a certain hard
wood tree that grows way down in
tropical America, some at least of the
water wheels that run the Skowhe-
gan factories, would not be turning
today. Only a small piece OF this
wood enters into the construction of
a modern water wheel. but that piece
is very essential. 1t is known as the
step, and is the bearing upon which
the wheel reyolYes, in addition to
carrying the tons of weight in both
the wheel and the water that runs
it, this bearing is submerged so that
it cannot be fabricated. Ordinary
hard wood or almost any kind of
metal would be destroyed under such
mum vitae will wear for years. The
water seems to take the place of oil
or grease.
By the time that lignum vitae gets
from its tropical home to Skowhegan
it is worth $1,000 per cord, but the
users buy only a very small part of
a cord at once. Stillman Phillips.
who has worked as a millwright for
the past 81 years, makes the little
round steps" In the shop OF the
Skowhegan Pulp Co He uses iron
working machinery on the lignum
vitae, and although the grain seems
TO be cross every which way, the
surface finishes as smooth as glass.
Mr.. Phillips says he has known OF a
step carrying a three ton water
wheel to wear for fifteen years, but
with 80 many wheels as there are In
Skowhegan, he gets a chance to turn
up a new step every year or SO.
Anybody picking up chunk Of lig-
mum vitae in the dark would think
he had encountered piece OF pig
iron. An interesting thing to know
would be how they get the logs out
Of the forests where they grow.
