CUTTING vENEERs.
Three Methods Are Used--Sawira,
SIicins and the Rotary Cut.

OSCQ--0aNNtHQe
SIicins and the Rotary Cut.
Veneer is very thin lumber The raw
material is usually purchased in logs
Of random lengths. Some are cut into
flitches 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
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
mestic 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 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 ive-sixteenths to
one-tiftieth 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
ths.-IndanapoIis News.

Notice to Fruit Tree Owners.

/ have made arrangements with a
competent man to cut the blight out
OF fruit trees in Ashland and his SER
vices can be had by phoning the
Ashland Trading Company, the fruit
tree owner to pay the expense. The
inspectors who recently visited the
city put tags on each tree. One red
tag means that the tree must be
cleaned and two that it must be cut
out. All trees not cleaned up will
be taken charge of by the inspectors
and the costs will be taxed to the
land.
Owners should act at once or be
prepared to take the consequences.

Old Theories About Liuhtninn.

Our forefathers had many theories
about lightning. According to them no
one could be struck by lightning while
asleep, and no tree struck by lightning
could be burnt. Splinters from such
tree. diligently chewed. were. of
course. pleasanter to the taste than the
dentists forceps. And the old time
schoolboy firmly believed that II he
were rash enough TO mention lightning
directly after flash the important
part of his raiment would he immedi-
ately torn off. And many were his at
tempts to land his fellows In that pre-
dicament.-London Chronicle.

COTTON ADVANCES,
BUT LESS ACTIVE
Traders on Both Sides Not AnX'
ious to Increase Commit
ments, and Market Easy.

The cotton market was less active yes
terdav than at any time since the recent
big advance began, during the middle OF
MAY. 1t seems that traders hesitate TO
accumulate fresh long lines within 80
POINTS of the recent high level, in view OF
in,proved weather conditions west oi the
river and of the apparent procrastinatlnS
policv Of spnncrs On the other hand
few traders care to sell agGressiveIy Tor
short account. owing to the poor start oil
the crop, continued drouth complaints
from The Eastern belt, reports OF an I'M
uroving demand for goods and feeling
that any recurrence of bad weather would
find responsive market. Scattering long
accounts have doubtless been much re
duced on the declines Of the last week
end the diminishing activity now suggests
a tendency to await fresh developments.
Early losses were recovered yesterday
and the market closed steady at A net
advance of 3 to points. Southern spot
markets were unchanged. and the local
market held quiet at 1850 for mddllhS
