So we go on worrying because Jones

What Wood
Is Made d

Wood is not sold substance, like
iron or stone, but is composed OF
small hollow cells similar to an emp
ty honeycomb. The cells are SC
small they can not be seen with
out magnification, excepting in such
woods as oaks, ash and EN-, which
have large pores or open grain.
II sections of wood as thin as
one thousandtn of an inch are placed
under the miscroscope, the character
of even the smallest cells, includ
ing the peculiar markings on the cell
walls, can be distinctly seen.
At the Forest Products Laboratory
Madison, Wis, where the structure
OF wood Is carefully studied for iden
LITIGATION purposes and to determine
the relation of the structure Of wood
10 its behavior under various condi
lions, many photographs of wood sec
tions taken thrugh a microscope are
on exhibition.
The cells produced in the spring ol
the year are usually larger than those
produced in the summer, so as to AT
ford an easier passage for the sap
which Is more in demand In the
spring than later in the year. This
difference in the size of the cells
makes sharp contrast between the
% ono he
spring wood of the next, producing
distinct, annual rings. BY counting
these rings the age of tree can be
determined.
In the tropics, where the trees
grow all the year around, ordinarily
no distinct annual rings are formed
and consequently 1t is impossible to
determine the exact age Of mahog
any log.
Sapwood and heartwood are two
terms used to designate the outer
lighter colored wood Of tree and
the inner darker colored wood re
spectively. All young wood is light
colored, but as 1t becomes older II
is infltrated with various substanc
es which dscolor 1t. The dark wood
Of ebony, black walnut and redwood
are striking examples Of colored
heatwood. The sapwood OF all these
trees is light colored. The heart
wood is inactive except as 1t furnish
es strength to a tree trunk, but the
sapwood conducts the water from the
roots to the leaves Of tree. II a
tree is girded so that all of the
sapwood is cut through, water can
no longer ascend in tree and Il
will die.

DANGER IN FOOLISH CUSTOM
Those Who Bite PenhoIders In Public
Use Are Hereby Warned Of
Possible Infection.

That the penholder, such as most Of
us frequently use in hotels, post Of
ices, banks and other public writing
rooms may be as deadly q carrier of
disease germs as the roller towel and
public drinking cup, is the suspicion
for which the boards of health be-
lieve they have found ample grounds.
The next time you use one of these
public penholders you will notice, II
you examine 1t carefully, that the
wooden handle is covered with little
dents. These dents are the imprint
of the teeth of persons who have used
the pei before you; ana as the mouth
is the favorite port of entry for dis
ease, each dent is usually full of mi.
crobes.
To expose yourself to sickness and
death. therefore, all you need to do
is to bite on the penholder. Every
time you do this, you take into your
mouth the germs which scores oil
other persons have left by similar
bites.
Health officials plan to secure legis
lation aoolishing the public penhold
er. In the meantime they urge the
public to try to break itself of the al
most universal habit OF holding q per
in ones mouth while folding o iettel
or blotting q check.

the case when we are young. Young
people feel that they can hardly have
an intimate conversation without its

older, the consciousness that a mo.

A Prosperous Year in the Mines
Of the Rocky Mountains.

The metal mines of the Rocky
Mountain States have had year OF
activity in many respects never be
fore equaled The preliminary sta.
tistics Of production reported from
the Denver and Salt Lake City Cifc.
es of the United States Geo ogiGal
Survey indicate marked increase
in the output of each State over the
production OF 1914. While the ton.
mage Of ore mined was generally
greater, the large increase in total
values was even more the result OF
higher prices for the metals. This
increase in value of output over the
corresponding figures for 1914 reach.

per cent for New Mexico The to
la of these notable increases for the
six states is estimated at more than
$4,000 900.
1915 was Montana's best as meas
ured by total value of mine output
Of the metals. There was an in
crease in the mining of all the met
ais, but especially of lead and zinc.
Even Of silver the output of about
14,5OO,000 ounces was a record break

ed output of copper ore which sip
Filed the greater part OF the silver
but the great impetus given to- the
marketing of zinc ores. The mines
output of gold was valued at hearly

20 per cent over 1914. Mon;ana's
greatest asset is copper, the output
Of which increased from 233 go $40
pounds in 1914 to nearly 27j,000,000
rounds in 1915. The mine output OF
lead increased to over 100000
pounds in 1915, an increase Of over
10 per cent, due largo to The ship
ment OF lead concentrates and of
residues resulting from zinc smelt-
ing. Zinc increased from III ,js0,544
pounds figured as spelter) in I914
to 1S4,0S6,000 pounds in 1915. The
total value Of the five metals from
