Teak Wood hlahIy Valued.

During the reign of the Burmese
kings teak was the royal wood, and
the king had a right to all teak, The
palace of the kings in Mandalay is al
most entirely built of this wood, and
one of the throne rooms is supported
by fine pillars of teak. The bamboo
forests in Burma, which sometimes
grow to "a height of from 80 to 60 feet,
and are glory in themselves, are but
an underground above which tower
the teak trees, giants of strength. dig
nifty, and beauty, attaining a height Of
from $50 to 100 feet. The teak trees
grow several hundred yards apart,
three mature trees to the acre being
considered a good yield. Beauty is
not, however, their chief feature, for
their wood is used extensively for
home rebuilding, both in Burma and In
dia, and in Europe for men-ofwar,
Its durability is due to an essential oil,
and when used as backing for armor
plates ii is found that the bolts and
rivets do not rust, owing to the oil
contained in the wood.
