WOOD THAT WILL NOT ROT
Experiments Made in France Have
Demonstrated the Great Value
of the ManeoVe.
!. =, Tor, "a


The wood of the mangove tree
which fourishes in French Guiana,
is being exploited in France as a
wood which will not rot At least
1t has withstood all exposure and eff
forts to break down its fiber in years
of experiment by the officials of the
French railway service.
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 rs practically
TO exclude moisture. Its density, in.
deed, is placed at 10, as against 40 in
fir and 70 in oak.
In addition to this .'oSeneSs of fiber
the mangOve has an unusually large
amount OF tannin ~ It's composition
This protects Ii from invasion by in.
sects. 1t also prevents the multipli.
cation, OF Sdri0us germs, and is spe.
ciilc against such wood maladies as
mold. damp and the like.
II has other desirable qualities. For
instance, tests show that while II
is not brittle, 1t presents twice the
resistance to flexation that oak does
1t has about the same potency against
crushing or twisting.

Sea May Reclaim Hayward Bows.

Relieving that the lure of the sea
might prove the winning appeal to
boys who resist the conventional
schooling Of shore life, a Baltimore
shipping expert proposes the establish
ment of training ship at that port.
Not only would such school ship
serve as a cooperative unit in the
educational system of the city and
state, but 1t would give additional
marine training calculated to yield a
supply of American sailors for the

Wealth in Beads

Probably the choicest and most val
liable beads in the world are those
possessed by the natives of Borneo. In
many cases they are very old, and
have been kept for centuries in one
family.
Some are thought to be of Venetian
origin. while others resemble Roman
variety.
1t is difficult to induce the natives to
sell their beads. which they guard as
heirooms. A rich chief may possess
old heads to the value of thousands Of
pounds.
When children are small they are
carried on the backs of their mothers

deliberately adorned with heads One

Crow a Feathered Outlaw

The crow has but few human
friends, and possibly none out
side it's own family. Even its feath
cred neighbors do not care about it.
Crows seem, however, to esteem each
others companionship, judging from
the fact that crow is seldom seen
alone. They do their days work. be
it good or bad, in groups; they spend
considerable time holding meetings by
thousands, and they travel in some.

Crows are neither admired MOI
loved. Hundreds of birds have been
given honorable places in literature,

usually for the purpose of adding one
more melancholy feature to melan.
