MANY USES FOR
BIRCH ARE RECORDED.

From Furnishing material for a ca
noe in which to hunt whales some
hundred odd years ago to supplying
New England factories of today with
N 600 cords of wood annually for shoe
pegs and shanks is according to the
department OF Agriculture, only part
OF the services the birch tree has rem
dered and is rendering the people of
America.
Sir Alexander Mackenzie, the depart
ment tells us in a bulletin just is
sued on the uses of birch, hunted
whales in a birch bark canoe. The
animals were found at the mouth of
the Mackenzie river He failed to
strike the game and Concluded that
it was probably for the best. While
the canoes are frail, it is pointed out
that the bark of which they are made
resists decay longer than any other
part OF the tree.
1t would be difficult, the department
goes on to say, TO estimate the value
of the service of the birch bark ca
noe in the discovery, exploration, de-
velopment and settlement of the
northern part Of this continent. From
the Arctic Circle to the Great Lakes,
and southwark, for a century and a
half, that light but exceedingly strong
and serv1ceab1e vessel threaded the
lakes and rivers, bearing trade and
carrying civilization where no other
boat could 20. The French explorers
hundreds of miles in these canoes,
often carrying cargoes which would
seem beyond the capacity of such
fraH vessels.
The range Of uses to which birch
wood is put is surprisingly large. Ac-
cording to the department, the arti-
c1es into which 1T goes range from
church pews to kitchen tables, and
from organ pipes to newell posts. We
may have our first sleep in a birch
hi
The spools on which we get our cot
ton and silk thread are birch lasts.
The largest of the spools hold 12o00
yards, the smallest 20 yards The
wood'e beauty, strength and rigidity
make It prominent as a material for
musical instruments, and the same
qualities bring it into extensive use
for flooring
Many people have an idea that shoe
pegs have nearly passed out Of use,
but the amount of birch previously
mentioned as made into pegs and
shanks yearly in New England seems
to disprove this notion. Birch, the
department says, is often put on the
market in imitation of other woods,
and we may open a door, sit on many
a chair, and write on many a desk
which we imagine to be mahogany,
I but which is really birch stained to
resemble the genuine article.
Nine species of birch grow in the
United States, but sweet, yellow, pa
per, and river birch are those most
used. About $4,000, 900 board feet of
, the wood finds its way to the market
yearly. Paper birch is one of the
few American species with a hold ON
the forest stronger than it had when
America was discovered. Large tracts
are now covered with this birch where
there was little of it century ago
1t comes in after fire, and some tracts
it has taken possession of cover hum
dreds of square miles.

Roman Senate.


The Roman senate was a judicial
and legislative body and for several
centuries numbered 300 men, carefully
selected from the patricians. The ma
jority of votes decided a question, and
the order in which the senators spoke
and voted was determined by their
rank. Their decisions, called senatus
consulta, were the supreme law Of the
republic, from which, of course, there
was no appeal. After the establish
ment of the empire the character Of
the senate was greatly lowered, and
at last it became simply the tool Of the
emperor, to do his bidding regardless
Of the consequences.-New York Amer
