WOOD.
A most wonderful wood is that of
the tropical tree called greenheart.
The treo belongs to the laurel fam
ily, and is exported mainly from the
island of Trinidad and British Gui
ana. The wood is £0 nearly indes
tructible that no liru't to its life
is known. It is used chiefly ill
ship and dock building. Nausea's
ship, the From, and Captain Scott's
first ship, the Discovery, were botli
ouilt of greenheart. The wood is
proof against the white ant on land
and the teredo in salt water. A Un
ite' States government report says:
"Greenheart has been known to
stand in wharves for over thirty
years, and logs that have remained
under water for one hundred years
are in perfectly sound condition. All
the gafes, piers, and jetties of the
LJverpool docks, and almost all the
lock-gates of the Bridgewater Can
al, in England, are ot' greenheart.
Fifty pairs of lock-gates in the
Manchester (England) Ship Canal
are made of it. There is no known
limit to the durability ot lock-gates
o* greenheart; the wood is far more
durable than the iron bolts and oth
er fastenings. When the green
heart dock-gatas in Liverpool har
bor were removed, in order that
the channel might be deepened and
widened, the wood originally used
in their construction was used in
building the new gates. So the
wood in the gates of the Canada
Dock, built in 1S56, was used again
wheu the dock was rebuilt in 18K4.
All the sills and fenders in the lock
gates of the Panama Canal are of
greenheart.
Greonheart's extraordinary resist
ance to decay is probably owing to
the presence of an allcoloid known
as bibirine, and also to certain res
iuous substances known as tyloses.
The latter are reddisli-brown masses
within little cavities that of
ten fill completely. As they grow
with the tree they turn black, and
make the wood of th older trees
black.
As in all tropical trees, whose
growth <3 continuous through the
year, there are no annual growth
rings; the trees probably do not
reach maturity under 250 years. A
greenheart tree is from sixty to one
hundred feet in height; it is an ev
ergreen without knots, and lias a
broad, open crown. The wood
weighs about seveniv-five pounds to
the cubic foot, and resists a crushln
force of twelve thousand pounds to
the square inch.—Youth's Compan

DEAFNESS CAM BF CUBED ]

rciich the diseased portion of the ear
The-re is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the Eustachia
Tube. When this tube is inflamed
vou have a rumbling sound of imper
ffit hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, deafness is the result, and u
less the lnflamtion can b e taken |
out and this tube restored to its nor
ma! coalition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever; nine cases out of tec |
are caused by Catarrh, which is noth
ing but an Inflamed condition of the [
mucous surfaces.
We will give On« Hundred Dollars I

Catarrh) that cannot be cured by [
