LIonum Vitae for PropeIIers.

While inspecting the head of golf
club or fitting q caster to the dining
room table, few landsmen realize they
are handling wood from the West In
dian guaiacum, or llgnum vitae tree.
says Popular Mechanics magazine.
Fewer realize that this same wood has
been used to make propeller shaft
bearings for every battleship and ocean
liner on the high seas. This wood,
alone of the thousands upon the earth,
will survive the grinding rotation of
the great shafts. The reason is found
on examining lignum vitae log. The
sap cells are seen TO be full of heavy,
solidified resin. Successive layers Of
6ber are arranged obliquely to each
other, making II impossible to split
