There is in creasingly keen competition am ong the industries for this wood, although there are still 15,7s4.00O, O,0oO board feet standing throughout the coun- try. Manufacturers have to go far ther for their supply, and really se- lect stock is already very hard to ob- tain in the required quantities.

HOW OLD IS ANN?

A belated report from the South 4 frfcan Museum states that a gigantic turtle captured in the year 1884 died at that place a few months ago. At the time this animal was captured it was full grown. and its death gave rise to much speculation as to the longevity of these creatures; for, as yet, nothing is definitely known about their natural term of life. When the turtle was acquired by the museum it was named Peter. One day Peter laid an egg. A hurried consultation of the museum principals took place. The result was blushing decision to give Peter the effeninate but not inappro- priate name Of Ann.

BRITISH VACUUM TUBEs.

Our British friends have evidently made up their mind not to fall behind in the matter of vacuum tubes. Thus their vacuum tube offerings Fange all the way rom small receiving tuoes to large tubes of 500-watt capacity. The latest tube, or valve, as they call them In England, is the Mu1lard ORA The plate voltage of this tube is given as 30, and the filament voltage as S.6 to volts. The base Of this tube is of the four-prong type. This tube is said to combine efficiently the quali- ties of a rectifier and an amp1ifier. Thus it becomes possible to carry only one tube in stock for all purposes.
