WOOD OF IMMENSE VALUE
en ... curm coimnuima
Greenheart, South American Product
I Has Most Wonderful Qualities for
the Shipbuilder.. \
$ Greenheart, the wood which the
Isthmian canal commission is desirous
' of securing for use in the construction
t of docks and similar works in the
Panama canal, because it is said by
experts to reslat more than any other
wood tho attacks of marine borers
which rapidly destroy plies and other
submarine structures, is" one of the
most valuable of timbers ft is native
of South America and the West In-
diea, and from Its bark and fruits Is
obtained bibirine, which is often used
as a febrifuge instead of quinine.
The wood is of a dark green color,
sap wood and heart wood being so
much alike that they can with diffi-
culty be distinguished from each oth
ler. The heart wood is one of the
most desirable of all timbers, particu-
larly in the shipbuilding industry. In
disputable records show that the best
grades surpass iron and steel In last-
ing qualities In salt water, submerged
logs having remained intact for one
hundred years.
* In the Kelvingrove museum. .Glas-
gow, there are two pieces of planking
which illustrate better than anything
else this durable quality They are
both from a wreck which was suh-
merged eighteen years off the west
coast of Scotland The one specimen
—greenheart—is merely slightly pit-
— ted on the surface, the body of the
wood being perfectly sound and un-
touched, while the other—teak—is al-
-most entirely-cater away. -
It is extensively used in shipbuild-
ing for keelsons, beams, engine bear
ings and planking, and it is also used
in the general arts, but its excessive i
weight unfits it for many purposes for
which its other properties would ren-
der it eminently suitable.—Below the

TOO. LIBERAL WITH ADVICE
Bank Cashier Meant Well, But Sad
Experience Taught Him a Great i
and Lasting Lesson.
The story sifted down from St. Paul—:
the other day that ‘Jim" IBB engi- '
neered a shakeup In a bank there bo :
cause he found an ink spot on his I
mopthly statement, which recalled to
a bank official of thia town the reason >
why one cashier ceased to be a little
ray, of sunshine. Persons who can
coax more than a conversational bit :
out of him nowadays are indeed
skilled. "He was a conservative guy T
—and good," said the banker. "He
was the sort of a man who would
leave a light turned on in the hall
at night no that burglars might think
that seme member of the family had
not returned home. He waa espe-
cially strong on temperance. Strong
drink had never seared his pure lips.
He cashiered in a savings bank in the
edge of the town. One day a Hunky
blew In with an active hang-over it
he’d had any more liquor in him he
wouldn't have been legal without a
revenue stamp He said he wanted
the $50 he had on deposit The
cashier stepped to the rear limits of
his cage and refused to pay until he
came around sober. 'Your signature,’
said the cashier, ‘looks like a dog-bite
when you're in this condition I will
not accept It' So the Hunky went
hooting up and down town announe
sing that the savings bank had refused
to pay his money. By alarm clock
----time-next morning the streets were
full of yammering Hunkies, waving
bank books. The reserves were called
out and the depositors were chased
away. Then the bank officials investi-
gated and the cashier confessed. He's
stopped giving good advice."— New

The Inspector’s Disguise.
Some days ago, about five o’clock
in the afternoon the, principal police
inspector of the Second district was
called to an affair as delicate as it
was urgent.
He quickly made up his disguise.
For his bourgeois melon hat, he sub-
stituted a cap, the classic cap of the
Apache. He then jumped into an
auto
He was not recognizable, or rather
he would not have been if the hon-
orable inspector had not retained
upon his breast the red ribbon of the
legion of honor, a ribbon that he had
heroically won at Shoisy-le-Rol, under
tragic circumstances that no one has
forgotten. .
And the malefactors in the midst of
whom this disguised officer insinuated
himself could not refrain from laugh-
ing and are laughing yet at this man

ed with the legion of honor!—Le Crl

Evil of Gossip.
Every man and woman will be en-
titled to think better of themselves
and will have a stronger claim to the
regard of others, if they cease to be
on the lookoat for something to find
fault with, to treasure up and repeat
and magnify every scandal, little, and
big, and to retail and spread every
small item of tea table gossip, which
carries with it ridicule or censure for
some one. Suppose all that were drop
