(Fr6m Sunday's Strteman.) -. N-yv York Sun: In the lumber yarda fronting on the 4 East river, between Fifth ajid Tenth .streets, there lie piled up in rough. , unaymmetrlcal vheapa large numbers of coarse:y hi wn dirty logs. An ' ignorant observer might take these fobe supplies for a kindling wood factory and certainly would be surprised to ,learn that the dirty sticks of timber -are the most valuable wcKxfa In the wos ldin theijr i ough fo. m, for that is what they are. ; j ;v' " There is mahogany there; any quanr tity cf It; ; fcbony, Black Sea walnut and costly snake wood, but it ail , lies thefe seemingly unguarded and beaten by the weather as though it were th cheapest sort of whit pine; f - "It doesn't ., look. very valuable, does it?"--aid the manager -of one of the companies which sell nruch of the cos$ Ir timber; "but that is the wood that come day -wIH be worked over,' pol ished and made .into the most beauti ful woodwork that money, can buy. "That one big log that those workmen are carrying is -worth i $2,000, ": and 1 have seen a log of 'mahogany only a little larger than that which was sold for $9,000, ? It was 28 feet long , and '5 feet thick, ? and wss the finest piece of the Wood that I hive ever seen. ; ' . 'Pretty good "price or a single stick. Isn't it? It was a perfectly sound log. though, and its colorings 1 and mark ings were remarkable.' That is Vhy it brought euch la-hlgh price. ' ' i "Mahogany fs like diamonds! he corvt Inued l "The value ' at each stick I determined by its marking and free, dom . from flaws. When the logs , are sold in - the rough, as you see ' thjem here, there is big element of chance iiji their purchase. 1 ' t The expert: can Judge" them only by outward appearances and must ' be able to teH by the general look of the logs whether the markings whieh snows on the outside Is apt to continue through 'the piece. After a .good deal of .experience one Is able to isfze up A piece of Umber pretty correctly, but we are fooled once In awhile. nd that is one or xne uncertain title of the bust aesa. "Someone once said that .mahogany was the king jf woods and he , wXs not jar wrong, Jt Is certainly the. most durable. on account ,of "Its; hardness rhl the polish that it take gives jt a right td the title. It isn't what U used to be. though. I ? Forty years ago all the best Of the wood was "designated at Son. Iomlugo irom tne place in which it grew, it was the best that wa eycr cut, and attained a great reputation.; but; lr ' is ivmoet .imposstDie to get now. . Th choice, wood Ja all gone and there. is not. enough to be had now to eupply one-'hu'ndreth part of-the - dcrmajjd for fits texture1 was the' very finest khd tne JCTTorIng superior ' a any - other. We frtill get the wood from' Ban" Dom- higOk; but it is all second growth, emaf- ler than the Old mahogany and! much inferior to- it. 7 "Mahogany from Central America was sold in large quantities here years ago also, but? It wa found to be .soft and straight rajneVl and now At his practically stopped coming to this mar ket. Nowadays we get the wood front Cuba and Mexlc ' - "The Cuban product comes in small itltes buc.ia of good texture and hard. It ra from Mexied. though, that tne reat maraets or the world are now supplied, not: only with the best ma hogany.but also with much that in oft though much belter than the ?,uld South jVmerlcan product. , . "Many people have the idea that there, la no more good' mahogany and that, all that is cut now la soft. TfcH assertion is the outcome of individual experience in procuring gowt or poor wooa ; tnose j who have received the besi trades pronounce the tfexlcan wood hard and beautiful in. texture. An impression also ejeistr that ma hogany Is expensive and only to 'be In dulged In by-a few. That is untrue. The facilities for procuring the- wood and the' devlcfa for' reducing it Into lumber have so Improved that its cost today compares , favorably, wtthrxome of our dome tic hard woods such ;' As- cherry. 4 .- The cost of working It is certainly Voods.- It iastsi better than the domes- -tic article; -though. t; ".X? "The nrocetsa of vencerinx Is what what makes k mi the hard- wood ex pensive, as this , work costs as' much as m umoer in me rougn. Tne wcxxi la cut very thin, about -one- thirtieth of an"..roch av. . . j a lajier or glue is placed over the wood to which the strip is' to be ao plled aftervjwhlch the strip is laid on. moothed dewn by hand and then clamped between two -hot presses, or mule, as we call them. It takes some time for the glue to dry. . " "Then the elampa are removed.? the wood sandpapered and Scraped and the real work of polishing begins with the application of fillers to fill the pores'of the- wood aftd make it tmooth. Then i almoet endless rubbing has to be done to develop the polish. " !

"It cost thirty cents ft foot In the log and the waste makes the'real rrice amount to ft great ceai more, a Da.ia er tejd me recently that he put a large qoairUfy of English oak- In the home of ft mfllfonalre and that by the time per fect pieces had been procured, the cost of the wood had amounted to $t a foot. tci vorie of the most beautiful we' have whri 'polished.

The keels of the battleships Indiana and Massachusetts are made of it. and I happen to know that tt cost the gov ernment ft pretty penny. "The British Admiralty uses a great Quantity of this wood for the decks of the British warships and It Is used oonrmonry on the swell yachts for rail ings and hatch combings, as it stands th weather excelllently. "What is the most expensive wood that I know of? Snake wood, I guess. It Is imported from the northern part of South America In logs weighing from 50 to 200 pounds, and costs from 10 to 23 cent. a. pound. . '.! - "It. Is '. very, hard and when polished shows & grain much like the markings of a snake skin. It is, used mostly for walking canes and for fancy turnings.' "Black Sec walnut costs & lot. too. from .35 to 0 cents a foot, to you see thatmahogany la not so expensive after all, and 'as I sa td before it is Truely the king of kit woods."
