OF the 50 1000, 900 annually, which
| the committee regards as necessary To
cover the work of all forest research
agencies by 1886, it is estimated that
two-thirds would be contributed by
the forest industries, State agencies
and endowed institutions and the re-
mainder by the Federal Government.
An endowed forest research institu
ton is one of the needs foreseen by
| the committee. Such an institution,
with an annual income of about ST.
000. 1000, would be in position to carry
on fundamental long time research
projects such as other organizations

dertake.
Credit is given by the report to
industrial and other organizations
for accomplishments in forest re-
search to date, but not without con-
siderable emphasis on the tremendous
breadth of the field yet to be covered.
The committee feels that all agencies
now at work may greatly increase
their efforts and scope of activity
with little danger of encroaching or
each other or duplication of effort
in so wide a field. The need for a
constructive national program at this
time is urged as imperative for the

"how long has it been an insult TO

The Gold-BeaterS.

FOR more than 1000 years gold
beating has been done by hand.
No machinery has yet been devised
that can turn out gold leaf as hertect
as that made by hand. Pure gold ga
carat arrives at the mill in small
pieces. 1t is melted and to the melted
mass is added silver and copper as
alloys. This combination of metals is
formed into bars. A bar is placed be-
tween rollers of steel and kept under
great pressure until a ribbon Ia
inches wide and about 2 yards in
length is made from each ounce.
Square pieces of this ribbon are
placed between fine vellum leaves and
beaten until they are spread out the
size of the vellurn. which is inches
square.
These sheets are cut into four equal
parts and placed between skins which
are called "shoders.' A shoder is
beaten with a steel hammer for a
period of IL hours and unfit the gold
has spread out from a piece / inct:
square to piece Az inches square.
Again the pieces are cut into quar-
tiers, this time with a sharpened tool.
and given the final beating. They are
first laid between very thin sheets of
gold-beaters' skin. skin derived from
the ir1testines of the OK. One thousand
skins make mold" and mold
Of that number Of skins is only inch
in thickness.
The heaters stand over marble
blocks. Their bodies move from the
hip with every blow, and a queer
thing about the performance Is that
the 8-pound hammers which they use
do not require any lifting. They
simply bound up from the parchment
covered mold.
When done the gold leaves are taken
from the skin and placed between the
roughened pages of little books in
which they are sold.
There are 42S grains of gold to an
,unce, and it takes 70 of these finished
