The proper- uainv peucn ceaar wnich Includes the Northern red cedar and Southern cedar-are so marked and different from those of dther commercial woods that it seems almost hopeless to find a satisfactory substitute.

Even now earnest experiments are being made with several variet eg in the hope of ilnding a suitable substitute, The most recent is with an East African variety of wood resembling cedar, "There is no other wood-using Jn-Oustry in the United States so dependent uron a single species as the pencil entry is upon red cedar," says the, scientific journal. "Thn of the pencil material will soon be felt also in A firm in Germany, makes annually over 300,000,000 lead ntmrtU m.t nt Jthe American cedar. About 100.000 tons, or 7,600,000 cubic feet of wood are required for making these pencils. An equal amount is consumed aiiiiually in the United States in the pencil industry alone. This makes a total of more than 200,000 tons, ci about 15,000 000 cubic feef of wood annually; or a little over 600 tons of riar wood are used for pencils each jay me year.

How long the wli last at thig rate of consump-iion is difficult to say but it is cer- tiiiu that unless a suitable substitute is introduced some of the mills now Ik opeiation must shut down inside a few years. cod Kt V.e Good. "The tequirement8 for wood used In the pencil industry are most rigid. Ti.e wood must be soft, light, strong, close and strong-grained, free jrom de ects and must not check or, warp. Tie physical properties of cedar are subject to considerable variations due to EOil and -s'lmate- conditions, and for this reason it must be carefully Inspected and graded as to quality.

Tel ghtest and softest wood Is pro duced in the swamp hummocks of jo da and Georgia. "Tie okler the tree, the softer and br ie: the wood becomes. The wood of the shell of rotten logs is said to oe tne best for making lead pencils. The hard flinty wood, such as is ob tained principally from trees on the dry uplands or near its western limit of distribution, is considered poor grade. "Peucil makers both in this country and abroad have long since been searching for a suitable wood to take me piace or ceciar, ana an announce nieut has been made that a substi tute was discovered in East Africa, which may be obtained in sufficiently large quantities at a reasonable prlcj.

In Europe this announcement was ac ccpted at Its full face value, In America the pencil makers prefer to wait, pending more exact information for fear that thl a discovery may share the fate of many others, which, under the rigorous test of quality, amount of uvullable supply, and cost of production, have, failed to realize the anticipations formed by them or even to establish a claim to conimer- cial value. There can be very littia doubt, however, in case of the wood from East Africa, because it is known to be a very good wood, and pencil makers have tested it and found to be an excellent substitute for rli9 American cedar, Wood Comes Slowly. "The introduction of a uew wood ia usually very slow, and the promoters and exploiters of strange woods frequently score heavy losses, although the uds tliey Import are good and useful. This East African cedar Is now being imported into Germany, and it is likely that it will soon bo used In this country. The tree which yields this wood is very closely allied to our pencil cedar and is known botanically as Juniperus procera.

It forms a beautiful tree from 75 to 125 feet in lieight, and from 2 to 4 feet diameter. Sclater, an English natur-al'st states fcnat in British East Afrit's the tree often attains a height of 200 feet and a diameter of 6 African cedar la distributed over the mountainous districts from Abyssinia southward Into German East Africa, and is found in great abundance around KUliamandscharo. "Similar to our native cedar, the wood is soft, light, durable, easily worked, highly scented, of good color, uniform texture and fine grained. TVi annual rings of growth are indistinct to the unaided eye. The surface exposed b.

cutting the wood witVa sharp knife Is very smooth and a satiny lustre. These are facta which will place this wood on a par with the American pencil cedar, not only In the manufacture of lead pncils but for otho especially fine grained and durablo wood."

The outlook for war in the Bal kans is cuch that all Europe a trembling.

It Is a matter of general knowledge that then have been frequent outrages, against the subjects of the Balkan states on Turkish territory, and along all the frontiers the guards have been at each other's throats at every oppor tuuity.
