There is another item of interest.
From Boston the report comes that
Sam Langford, after weeks of inertia
and hearty meals has taken on a great
deal of weight. Affiuence, idleness and
a love of good things to eat have given
Sam many of the aspects of well-fed
porker.
And here's another dispatch. From
England, this time, comes the news
that Jack Johnson, in vodevil there,
has grown to the proportions of pre-
Adamite mammoth. Jack, too, 1t
seems, has disregarded training and in
his sparTing exhibitions in the music
halls has had difficulty in going two
rounds with his little pardner, and at
the end sinks into a chair in a state
of utter exhaustion.

CUTTING VENEERS.

Three Methods Are used-Sawing,
SIicing and the Rotary Cut.
Veneer is very thin lumber. The raw
material is usually purchased in logs
Of random lengths. Some are cut into
fitches and in turn sawed into thin
sections called sawed veneer. In other
cases the logs. after being steamed,
are shaved to sharp knives. This meth
cd produces sliced veneer. Neither
Of these processes is as extensively
used as the third. the rotary cut, al
though for certain purposes they are
of Importance.
The structure of the wood, the size
veneer is designed largely determine
the process employed Some foreign
woods are very hard and. like soft do
nestle woods-the conifers, for instance
often produce the best veneer when
sawed, while for other woods the Sic
ing method is preferred. Where the
product is for fine exterior finish and
cording to the figure or grain, saving
is the favorite method.
The rotary cut process is similar in
principle to the slicing process. The
log, after being steamed, is revolved
against fixed knife the length of the
log and wide sheets are shaved off.
Veneers are cut into number of
thicknesses. The domestic woods, ro-
tary cut, range from five-sixteenths to
| one-fiftieth of an inch and the import.
ed woods from three-sixteenths to one
| thirty-fourth. In the sawed and sliced
products the thickest veneer is five.
