WOOD THAT WILL NOT ROT
Experiment* Mad* in France Have
Demonstrated the Great Value
of the Mangove.
The wood of the mangove tree,
which nourishes In French Guiana,
is belnjr exploited In France as a
wood which will not rot. At- least
■t'has withstood all exposure and ef-
forts to break down Its fiber In years
of experiment by the officials of the
French railway service.
Kvery one of the many samples
which were subjected to all the known
processes of Inducing decay, be-
haved faultlessly, and It would seero
that the wood Is rot-proof. The grain
of the wood Is so close as practically
l.o exclude moisture. Its density, In-,
deed. Is placed at 10, as against 40 In
fir and 70 in oak. ,
In addition to this closeness of fiber
the mnngnve -has an unusually large
amount of tannin In Its composition.
This protects It from Invasion by in-
sects. It also prevents the multipli-
cation of various germs, and Is a spe-
cific against such wood maladies aa
mold, damp and the like.
It hiis other desirable qualities. For
Instance, tests show that while It
Is not brittle. It presents twice the
resistance to flexatlon that oak does.
It has about the same potency against
crushing or twisting.
Solomon'a Ten-pie.
The temple was the religious edifice
of the Jews in Jerusalem. There were
three buildings successively erected In
the same spot, aod named after their
builder*—the temple of 8o)omon, the
temple of Zorubbabel. and the temple
of Herod. The first was built by Solo-
mon and was destroyed by Nebuchad-
nesssar about 586 B. O. The second
was built by the Jews on their return
from the captivity (about 887 B. 0.),
and was pillaged or partly destroyed
several times, especially by Antiochus
Rplphaaes. Pompey and Herod. The
third, the largest and most magnifi-
cent of the three, was begun by* Herod
the Great, . and was completely de-
stroyed at the capture of Jerusalem
by the Romans (A. D. 70). Various
attempts have been made toward the
restoration of the first and the third
of these temples, but scholars ire not
agreed In respect to architectural de-
tails.

Crow a Feathered Outlaw.
The crow has but few human
friends, and possibly none out-
side Its own family. Even Its feath-
ered neighbors do not care about It
Crows seem, however, to esteem each
other's companionship, judging from
the fact that a crow is seldom seen
alone They 'do their day's work, be
It good or bad, In groups: they spend
considerable time holding meetings by
thousands, and they travel In some-
what army fashion.
Crows are neither admired nor
loved. Hundreds of birds have been
given honorable places In literature,

It was decided at last in family con
clave that Joyce was to him? a wtrd
ding. Not a formal church affair, hui
just a sweet little home wedding wiili
u few close friends and relatives. The
family had lived In this spacious old
colonial home for almost a quarter of a
century, and this was the first grfeiit
event to take place within its portal.s.
Something unusual must mark the
very first wedding.
Brother Bob, who was handy with
tools, was pressed into service and lie
constructed a wonderful arch of chick-
en wire in one end o£ the living room
where the ceremony was to take place.
A bevy of loving girl friends covered
the whole with spruce and then twined
June roses among the green. Joyce
was to be married In a veritable bower
of roses.
After many weeks of Joyous prepa-
rations the fateful morning dawned
Joyce opened her large blue eyes In
happy anticipation hut snapped them
shut as quickly. It was a dull, gray
day with clouds threatening rain any
minute.
Her sister, Antoinette, roused he'
self and threw an arm about her.
"I'm glad we didn't plan a garden
wedding,'' she comforted, slipping out
of bed. "Don't worry your poor little
head over the weather. Everything
Is going to go off fine even if the
weather Is sloppy. I don't believe the
weather has anything to do with it,
anyway," she continued, hopping Into
her clothes. "Think of Mariana
Drew's wedding day. It mured and
she's Just as happy and p. perous as
she can be." She bent to kiss her
sister.
length breakfast was over and
before Antoinette realized It the guests
were arriving and everything was de-
lightful hubbub. She never quite knew
how she managed to don her maid of
honor frock of palest pink organdie.
Mrs. Martin, in dove gray georgette,
was busy cordially welcoming the
guests at the library door.
Aunt Estclle was with the little
bride, and to allay her fears that nil
the wedding party had arrived Antoin-
ette kept bobbing in and out to assure
her everything was in readiness and
everybody had come. She counted
them over on her fingers.
"Douglas and all his family have
Just come. Doug and Joe, the best
man, are with father. The wedding
cake Is all arranged on ttie hall table."
In a few minutes she was back.
"The rector Is here," she announced,
"and Mary and Holmes have been
here for over an hour. So we're sure
of the music. Mary was to play the
bridal march and also during the cere-
mony. I'm sure everything Is going
off fine. Your veil Is a dream," and
off she flew.
Mary met her at the foot of the
rose-twined stairway with a white,
strained face.
"What shall I do?" she gasped.
"I've forgotten the music. I thought
Holmes had it and he thought I had
It."
Antoinette, panic stricken, glanced
at the clock. It was 20 minutes of
12. The wedding was planned for
high noon. Just as the clock struck
the hour was to be the signal for
Mary, from the concealed depths of
the arch, to begin the wedding march.
The maids were beginning to light the
candles. The ushers were placing the
ribboned aisle.
But without music the wedding
would fall flat. Yet five miles there
and back lay between that precious
music. Could Holmes possibly make
It 7 Speechless, she nodded to Holmes
to make a try. Holmes' car fairly
shot out of the drive and up the road.
"Saved" came the welcome report
at exactly two minutes of twelve,
when Holmes dashed wildly into sight.
Antoinette gave the signal for the
rector, the best man and the groom
to take their places, and when the
clock struck the tenth stroke of
twelve she ted the bridal party as
Mary began the exquisite Joyous
strains of "Here comes the bride ■ "
The rest of the wedding went by
like a blur to Antoinette. She moved
and did her part In a detached way.
8he heard, the guests wishing the
bride Joy and had a hazy recollection of
Joyce looking like a misty shining
cloud of happiness. For the sun had
come in ail Its glory just at noon.
Just as Joyce, all radiant in her pret-
ty blue traveling suit,.threw her bou-
quet to the bridesmaids as she de-
scended the rose-twined staircase.
Philip Whately took her arm and led
her Into the deserted living1 room;
-It's time," he whispered, "for you
to attend to your own wedding. Come,
dear." He bent to kiss her. "I love
you. You know It"
"Say, you spooners," broke In Broth-
er Bcb. "You'll miss the show. Get
out and wateh th> bride off."
Joyce caught her sister as she came
out and whispered: "It was all so
sweet and ril help with yours." The
bride was gone.
"dee, I felt like doing a handspring
ever the porch rail when Holmes got
there end everything went off on the
tick. Such ft relief." Mid Brother
Boh. "Your tufa next, Sto."
"No thorp sweet little home wed-
dings for me," laughed Antoinette,
dead tired, but deltclously happy.
"Just the barest formalities to make
tttegai. so 1 can enjoy every minute
