An Ancient Church That Is Said to Guard a Precious Secret. A small building popularly known ns "The Church of Hidden Treasure" stands in the little town of Burelus, N. M. During the Mexican war many of tbe richest families in the neighbor hood bid tbeir gold and valuables in all sorts of curious places. Senor Sandoval, a very rich landown er, chose the thick walls of the village church as Lis treasure vault, accord ing to n writer in the Wide World, and tradition says that the precious hoard has never been removed. Only a few years ago several groups of men, armed with pickaxes, crowbars and other implements, besieged tbe lace in search of tbe fabulous wealth aid to be concealed somewhere on the premises. The treasure is believed to be contained in a large wooden chest, such as most of the wealthy Mexicans formerly possessed. It Is claimed that tbe box contained thousands of dollars in gold, besides emeralds, diamonds and pearls, set tn pure native gold. Tbe Sandoval family, "however, guard the place most carefully, while they in turn are jealously watched to see that they do not disturb tbe church prop erty. Bold and daring plans are some times laid, but nothing seems to come of them, and the ancient building still guards its precious secret. CHEMICALS IN WOOD. Why Timber Cut In Winter Is BetUr Than That Cut In Summer. Timber cut In spring and lu summer is not so durable as that cut in winter. The durability depends hot only upon the greater or less density, but ulso upon the presence of certain chemical constituents in tbe wood. Thus a large proportion of resinous matter increases the durability, while the presence of easily soluble carbohy drates diminlyhes it considerably. During tbe growing season the wood of trees contains sulphuric ncld nurt potassium, both of which nre solvents of carbohydrates, starch, resins aud gums. They are known to soften also the ligneous tissue to a considerable degree. During the summer months tbe wood of living trees contains eight times an much sulphuric acid and five times as much potassium as it docs during the winter months. Tbe presence of these two chemical Rubstances during the growing season constitutes the chief factor In dissolving tbe natural preserv atives wltblu the wood nod in prepar ing tbe wood for the different binds of wood destroying fungi.
