The next and corresponding machine rounds the ends of the pins into perfect dowels. Lastly the dowels are dumped into a revolving tumbling box, where they are polished, and then are ready for ship- ment. Views are shown of some of the operations. This new departure in dowel-making illustrates the. Polishing the Dowels. high-class commercial commodity out of material that would at be>t have produced only firewood. THE HARDWOOD INDUSTRY. The use of hardwood has increased enormously for building purposes in Canada during the past few years. In England the demand is constantly growing for Canadian haidwood products required to take the place of oak. The fact that there is a scarcity of hard- wood in the United States and other countries is well known. Some persons claim that in the near future the great bulk of our lumber will consist of hardwood, as the while pine is gradually disappearing. In the Muskoka district large quantities of hardwood have been left standing, owing to its being of too great specific gravity to float. The Canadian Wood Manufacturing Company, Limiied,has just been organized, with a capital of-half a million dollars. Among those upon the Board are Messrs. R. S.
