Employ New Process for Coloring Wood The use of colored woods In the construction of furniture has long been known, the material being stained after the necessary seasoning process. Within the last few however, a method of Austrian origin has befcn employed, whereby the wood is colored when in a green state.. By means of heavy pressure in a closed vessel the sap Is driven out of the wood and is replaced by the color-' tog fluid, which may consist of a solution of the more permanent aniline dyes. The best kinds of wood for treatment are found to be birch, beech, alder, plane, elm and lime; oak, fir and pine being unsuitable because they do not stain uniformly. >■ The colored wood is used for furniture making and for the manufacture of doors and window frames. It can also be employed for outdoor pur- , P»«es. to which case no painting is necessary, although a coating of var»nish to be a necessity. For the fitting nf ships, fbllway cars, and similar purposes, this stained wood appears to be eminently fitted. Early Coastal Survey The records of the United States coast and geodetic survey show that an act authorizing a survey of the coastal waters of the United States was approved by congress on February 10. 1807, but that actual field work was not started until 1816. when a survey .of the bay and harbor of New York was begun. ■i A . No Spank £ little girl who was visiting her friend had overstayed her time and knew that she would be late to getting home. She expressed the fear that her mother would give her a spanking for being late. Her little hostess rushed away to another room and quickly returned with a copy of Children, the Magazine for Parents, which she handed t<f her friend. “Take this home to your mother, tell her to read It and she won’t spank you,” she said reassuringly. y Birds Nest in April In April, bluebirds, robins, chickadees, nuthatches, and phoebes begin housebuilding, says Nature Magazine., A few well-placed bouses are certain to have tenants before .the month is very old, and by setting them low along fences or on the laundry line poles, one may watch the birds closely.
