Wood Contents Water Even in Dry Wood
Wood always contains water as a fraction of its weight. Even the driest wood holds two or three pounds of water per hundred pounds. Dry wood is unknown since the heat to dry it would ruin the wood by turning it into gas and charcoal. A Swiss authority speculates that future microscopes might reveal crystalline wood cells with thin water films keeping crystals apart yet binding them into a mass.

Timidity of the Horse and Training Take Center Stage
The article discusses the horse as a timid animal with flight as a primary defense. It notes training can modify instinct, that breeds vary in timidity, and argues the purebred Arab is the bravest, possibly due to open-country development and evolutionary superiority. It reflects on training and natural impulses in equine behavior.
An Indian's Comment on Civility at the Canyon
