CUTTING VENEERS.
Three Methods Are Used-Sswing,
SIicing and the Rotary Cut.

Three Methods Are used--sswing,
SIoing and the Rotary Cut.
Veneer is very thin lumber. The raw
material is usually purchased in logs
of random lengths. Some are cut into
bitches 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
Dd 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
of the logs and the use for which the
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
has TO be selected and matched ac-
cording to the figure or grain. saving
is the favorite method
The rotary cut process is similar in
principle to the sicing process. The
log, after being steamed, is revolved
against a fixed knife the length of the
log and wide sheets are shaved of.
Veneers are cut into a 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
sixteenths.- News.

The Increase in the movement through
the northern border ports is chiefly due
to growth in trade with Canada. The
total value of exports passing through
northern border ports in 1900 was Sl04,-
100000, and exports to Canada in that
year were sos, 100000. In 1918 the ex-
ports through the northern border ports
were valued at $402 100000. and the ex-
ports to Canada S4l5,0O0,o00. Thus,
while the outward movement through
northern border ports in 1900 was great
err by S9000.000 than the actual exports
to Canada, they were in 1918 less by
Sl3,000,000 than the total exports to
that country. the exports to Canada
from the north Pacific and north At
lantic ports having aggregated S35,o00,-
600.
The gain in exports through the gulf
ports occurs chiefly in trade with Eu-
rope, South America and the West In
dies. Increasing quantities of cotton,
lumber and breadstuffs pass out of the
gulf ports, chiefly for Europe, while
those ports also show distinct increase
in the movement of manufactures to
Latin America. OF the imports through
the gulf ports, about onethird are from
Brazil. chiefly coffee; about one-fourth
from Cuba, chiefly tobacco; the remain
der chiefly from Europe and from Mex
leo, Central America and the West In
dies.
The Pacific and Atlantic ports are
more distinctly cosmopolitan in their
trade than those of the northern border
or even the gulf. About one-half of the
exports from the Pacific coast ports go
to the Orient, the remainder being dis
tributed to Canada, Europe and Latin
America in the order named. About two
thirds of the imports of the Pacific ports
are from the Orient. On the Atlantic
front the trade is with Europe, South
America. Africa and Oceania. About
two-thirds of the trade with the Orient
still passes through Atlantic ports.

A STORY OF
1925
BY F. A. mitchell

The nineteenth century, so prolific In
inventions and discoveries. laid the
foundation for some remarkable steps
in knowledge Of the functions of the
body. During the first decade OF the
twentieth experlmenters In institutions
for original research became aware
that there was an intermediate state
between life and death, since life in
many organisms could be suspended
by being frozen in liquid air and after
ward resuscitated.
1t was found that bacteria, the low
est plant organisms, have enormous
powers of resisting death. Bacteria
of various diseases were frozen In
liquid air at temperature of minus
800 degrees r. There are instances of
the lives OF frogs. rats, snails and fish
being suspended by this freezing proc
ess, yet on being ''thawed out" after
several weeks they revived.
These animals were found to be per
fectly normal when placed In a refrig
certain temperature. After short
time the animals appeared iifeless. A
month later they were removed and on
being massased showed signs OF life.
often reviving completely.
1t does not appear that these investi-
beings. Doubtless human beings oh
jected to being thrust into glass
tank filed with liquid air $50 degrees
below zero.
Since then there has been no effort to
discover whether human beings could
be frozen and brought to life.
In 1885 party OF tourists started
from the town of Chamonix, in Swift
zerland, by the old route to climb Mont
Blanc, the railroad to the summit not
then having been built. One of the
guides, Hans Twingle. twenty years
old, was to be married on his return to
Anna Bishof, three years his junior
The lovers, in the first freshness OF
youth, babe each other goodby, the girl
In tears, for she had dreamed that she
had been separated from Hans till she
was an old woman near sixty, when
she met him again, he being youth
of twenty. At that age he had no sym
patty for an old woman and turned
his back upon her. At the parting she
feared that her dream BODIED some
trouble either for her lover or herself.
And so 1t did. When the party re-
turned TO Chamonix Hans Twingle
was not with them. He had fallen
into crevasse on the glacier hundreds
of feet deep. and no effort was made
to recover his body. The glacier moves
at such rate that it would bring
Hans body down to point where the
ice would give 1t up in exactly forty |
years. Anna Bishof. though she mar
ried, all her life hoped that she would |
live to look once more on the lover of |
her youth when he should be returned |
from his icy grave.
A few years ago DR.. Donenshunner. |
an investigator of the Institute For |
Original Research. went to Chamonix |
and heard the story of Hans and Anna.
he found the latter an old woman and |
on questioning her as to the date that
Hans had disappeared learned that the
body was due to come forth from the
glacier during the summer Of the year

ATLANTIC PORTS
SHOW DECLINE
In Receipt and Distribution of United
States Foreign Commerce, Gulf and
Northern Border Ports Max
ing Gains.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 22.-The in
creasing share of the gulf and northern
border ports in the receipt and distribu-
ton of our foreign commerce is illus
trated by comparison of the figures of
imports and exports by customs districts
] in 1913 compared with those of 1900,
just completed by the bureau of foreign
and domestic commerce, department OF
commerce. II shows a distinct decline
in the share which the Atlantic ports
handle, both of imports and exports,
and that their loss is chiefly diverted
to the gulf and northern border ports.
The Pacific and Mexican border ports
show little change in their percentage
of the total trade.
The share of the Atlantic ports in
the exports of 1900 was SO per cent,
and in 1913 but IS per cent; that Of
the gulf ports in 1900, 10 per cent, in
1918, % per cent; that of the northern
border ports in 1900, 712 per cent, in
1913, is l-3 per cent; while the share
VI tHe Idciuc poflS WAS, III l3uo, y per
cent, and in 1913, per cent. Atlantic
ports show an increase of 40 per cent in
the period from 1900 to 1913; gulf ports
1872 per cent; northern border ports, 285
per cent; Pacific ports, 100 per cent.
The actual gains were; Atlantic ports,
s3s5,000,000; gulf ports, S309000000;
northern border ports, 1927 100000; Pa
eifc ports, S76000.000; and Mexican
border ports, S2,500,000.
On the import side, the Atlantic ports
show a smaller loss in their percentage
of the total, the share which they han
died of the imports having been, in 1900,
81 per cent, and in 1918. 70 per cent.
The gulf ports, which handled less than
3 per cent of the imports of 1900, ham
died 6 per cent in 1913; northern Dor
der ports. per cent in 1900, and s per
cent in 1913; and the Pacific ports,
little less than per cent in 1900, and
little more than per cent in 1918.
The figures of imports and exports
through the six great groups of ports

SCORES GROUP INSURANCE.

Blanket Policies to Cover Employee.

st. Paul, Mimi, Aug. pa resolu'
ton striking at the issuance of group
life insurance policies unanimously was
adopted at an executive session of the
American Life convention which was in
progress here yesterday. Life insur-
ance men, representing old line compan-
les, denounced group insurance, by
which an employer, for instance, put
into effect a blanket policy insuring all
his employees against death. 1t was
declared inimical to. legal reserve life
insurance, unfair and dangerous. The
life insurance men also adopted unani-
mously committee report which vigor-
ously opposed the upward trend of .ned-
ical fees for old line insurance. The re-
port said that while S. was the usual
fee charged in some sections, 50 was en-
tirely sufficient to guarantee sound med
ical examinations.
