Durability of Wood Not Affected by
Time Of Cutting.

Many of the theories advanced re-
sarding the durability of wood at
tribute too much Importance to the
time of cutting, say specialists of the
Forest Products Laboratory. Forest
Service, United States Department
OF Agriculture. AS a matter of fact,
the time Of cutting has very little eff
feet upon the durability or other
properties if the timber is properly
cared for after it is cut. The method
of handling logs at different times of
tho Year however, does influence
their durability.
Timber cut in late fall and winter
seasons more slowly and with less
checking than during the warmer
months. and when proper storage or
/ handling is impract icable, winter
! cutting is best Fungi and insects do
not attack wood out of doors in cold
weather, and by the time warm
weather arrives the wood is partly
seasoned and somewhat less sus-
ceptible to attack. 1t is for these
reasons that winter cutting is ad-
vantageous. and not on account of a
smaller amount of moisture or SAP in
the wood in winter as the popular
bellef has It. There is practically no
difference in moisture content of
green wood in winter and summer.

Condemned But Never Executed

There is no man living today who
has actually been hanged but there
are many records of resuscitation af-
ter hanging.
One of these belongs to the wear
1864. Nine. de Balsham was con-
demned to death for harboring
thieves. She was hanged and left
suspended on the gallows from Nom
day morning until sunrise on Thurs
day. Yet, on being taken down, she
revived. Henry III. granted her a
pardon
In 1850 an oxford servant girl was
: hanged for the murder of her child
When handed over to the doctors for
dissection she revived. Inquiries
were made as to her senSat tons dur
ing suspension, but she remembered
nothing, saying her revival was just
like waking from deep sleep
4 housebreakcr named Smith was
hanged in 1905. and reprieve arrived
after he had been suspended for Is
minutes. On being taken down he
revived.
a man named William Duell had a
hard fate. He was hanged in London
in 1i4O, and was carried to Surgeons
Hall to be anatomiZcd. Before the
doctors could start he came to life
again. That ought to have won him
another chance but it did not. He
was transported, a fate not always
preferab BILE.
At Cork a man was hanged in 1867
for street robbery. On being taken
down he was taken to surgery,
where an incision was made in hi.
Windpipe. He recovered so rapidly
that he went TO the theatre the same
evening
a prisoner was taken from Cardiff
prison and placed in the dock in Lon
don on a charge of numbering his
! wife. Till then he had never heard of
her death. but before he could realize
his position he was convicted and
sentenced to death.
Then he impiOred the Wardens and
the Governor to tell him the date of
| his wife's death MY good man"
said the Governor, you have only a
short time to live. Don't worry about
such detail
Day after day, however. the pris-
oner asked this question, until he got
the answer. But / was safe in
prison on that date" he exclaimed.
Then why didn't you say so at the
trial?"
Because l was neither asked nor
allowed to say anything" He was
