By -Products May Put to Numerous and 'Varied Uses.' 1 Saw -mill waste amounts to about 40 per -.cent. of the original tree. The finished lumber, on the average, rep- resents only from30to 35 per cent. of the tree. New developments .in the utilization of wood waste are be- ing niade continually, but it is false economy to- handle waste unless the by-products industries can be carried on at a profit. Effective utilization calls for a variety of chemical and mechanical processes which must be adapted to the form, species and quantity of wood waste 'available at any point. Slabs, edgings and trim- mings represent 15 to 17 per, cent. of the tree. Among the more common uses are fuel, laths,' box shooks, small slack cooperage, smell wooden articles, kraft and sulphite, pulp, excelsior, wood flour, wood wool and firoducer gas. Sawdust accounts for another 11 per cent., and is used to some ex- tent for fuel, producer gas, briquettes, polishing metals, insulating, packing, bedding in s_ tables, floor sweeping compounds, composition flooring blocks linoleum, improving clay soils, smoking ;neat and -fish, blasting powd ers, wood flour, plastics, porous bricks, mixing with mortar and concrete, dis- tillation, ethyl alcohol, oxalic acid and carborundum. Bark amounts to -about 10 per cent. of the tree. It is usually \used for fuel, although hemlocic'and oak barks are important in the tann- ing industry. A, recent development is the use of spent hemlock bark for mixing to the extent of about -30 per cent. with rag stock in the manufac- ture of roofing felts. Experiments on its use' in wall board, indurated pails, conduits: and wall paper give promise of success. In the manufac- ture of special wood products a good deal of wood is:lost, during seasoning, by decay due to p'oo'r .methods of stor- age, and also by warping and splitt- ing.

Not the Right Saint. -During the operations of the Bri- tish Egyptian expeditionary force in Palestine a town to the south of Beer- sheba was captured; And in it a splen- did example of Mosaic pavement was discovered. A chaplain of the forces was placed in charge of the excavation and in the course of the work some human bones were discovered. The padre was elated. at the find and immediately wired to his G. H.
