WOOD THAT WILL NOT ROT
Experim=nta Made in France Have
Demonstrated the Great Value
of the Mangove. O.. =

The wood of the mangove tree,
which flourishes in French Guiana,
is being exploited in France as a
wood which will not rot. At least
it has withstood all exposure and eff
forts to break down its fiber in years
Of experiment by the officials of the
French railway service. 49,
Every one of the many samples
which were subjected to all the known
processes Of inducing decay, be-
haved faultlessly, and it would seem
that the wood is rot-proOf. The grain
Of the wood is so close as practically
to exclude moisture. Its density, in
deed. is placed at 10, as against 40 in
fir and 20 in oak. -
In addition to this closeness Of fiber
the mangove has an unusually large
amount Of tannin In its composition.
This protects it from invasion by in.
sects. 1t also prevents the multiple
cation of various germs, and is a spe-
citic against such wood maladies as
mold, damp and the like, ...s
1t has other desirable qualities. For
instance, tests. show that while it
is not brittle, it presents twice the
resistance to flexatfon that oak :does.
It has about the same potency against
crushing orStwisting.

According to advance predictions,
the Catholic minority in North Ire
land cannot hope for a representa-
ton that will in any way be formid-

the Orangemen. On the other hand,
on questions where there is a divided
Orange following, they would be able
to hold the balance Of power.
/ Prohibition is the one question that
will drive the Irish Catholics and Irish
Protestants in Ulster to combine. If
the Sim Fein and Nationalist men,

90 per cent of the license holders in
