Finish the Wood
Cases of Pianos
Valuable Information Concerning the
Peculiarities of Highly Polished
Surfaces on These Instruments.
In .America, most people who buy pianoa
want them finished with a high polifh.
Finelv polished varnisR develops tha beauty
of fine wood, and the smoothly finished
Copal gum Is a fnsall resin. It la like am-
. ,
onI'' centuries younger. It la brittle
like amber. Copal gum gives hardness to
varnish, and In general, tha harder the
varnish, the better It will polish: but brittle
ness goes with hardness, and cracking
metimes goes with brittleness.
in general, pianos are finished In th
following manner: The esse is stained and
filled. If the wood requires it. then four or
five coats of very thick varnish are put on.
Five to ten davs are allowed between coats
depending on the varnish used. Each coat
must be dry through. These coata are
called the bodying up coats. After the
last one Is thoroughly dry, the case Is
rubbed down with powdered pumice stone
and water. That la called coarse rubbing.
rm tne etrect is a

perfectly smooth sur-
tk
rh next "p
full-bodied coat of
varnish; It is called the flowing coat.
Plenty of time Is allowed for this coat to
dry ten days or two weeks.
When It is sufficiently dry. It Is nibbed
down to a flat, 'dead finish with pumice
and water, left one day. then rubbed again

then polished with the bare hand; this po j
llshlng can be done only by men of ex
perience who have hands suitable for the
work.
The result Is a polish of the most bril
liant character, resulting from the several
coats of varnish which have filled all the
minute crevice of the wood with a trans
parent mass and which has been brought
to mirror-like smoothness.
This polish Is particularly difficult to se
cure in permanent form. A number of
blemishes may occur, the most common
being "cross checking." which la the name
for the countleaa tiny cracks which ap
pear on highly polished wood work. Do not
confuse it with veneer checks or alligator
crack. The underlying fa usually hardness
and brittleness.
Remember that thla varnish necessarily
driea very hard. Put a panel finished like
a piano in the cold and let It become thor
oughly chilled; strike the end of the panel
a sharp blow with a hammer. Tha beau
tifully polished surface will break, show
ing thousands of tiny cracks. Drop It on
the floor: the result will be th same. Let
such a panel become quite warm by leav
ing It In a room heated to eighty degrees.
Tak It at once to a temperature of
freexlng or' below. The varnish does not
contract with cold t exactly the same
rat aa the wood, and the panel will prob
ably cross check. It will do It to a cer
tainty If It Is dropped, or if It receives
any sudden shock. Let a sudden draught
of cold air strike a warm piano. It will
crack, probably. Sudden changes do the
harm. Hot water poured Into a cold
tumbler will crack it; Ice cold water
poured into a warm tumbler will probably
crack it. The reason a piano rroaa checks
is the same reason that a tumbler crat KS.
Cross checking Is the most common
trouble which comes to piano finish. It
Is the one trouble which can be guarded
against, but It cannot always be pre
vented. There are other troubles. Alligator
cracks, large Irregular wavy cracks, due
to too much varnish or too little time for
drying between coata. Veneer checks; the
veneer In Its most beautiful burls may
split. In this case the crack follows the
pattern of the grain exactly. Veneer
checks cannot be guarded against. The
risk is part of the price of beautiful wood.
The trouble next In frequency to cross
Cheesing. Is sinking In. Piano makers
in their effort to escape cross checking may
use a varnish that is too elastic, and aa it
continues to oxidise long after the piano la
nitif it me iMjnan uies away, countless
little depressiuiia cfcn be sten, aa It th
wood waa absorbing the life of the varnish
Hence the name, "sinking In." Where
sinking In occurs, the piano looks dull and
shabby to ev. ry one who looks at It. but V , i f"t thln-
th. polish can sometime, he restored wlth-j ' ., ",Br'n' of
out another coat of varnish. 'I'l" ' 'V "T" ,n Brt"1'"

time, caused bv th. r Th,, . Wh hrs terday. CJeneral TTIford
The very high cost of fine veneers haa
forced piano makers to use veneers of ex
treme thinness. Ia open-grained woods It
la possible sometimes to see light through
them. The glue and varnish sometimes
come directly Into contact, and If moisture
works through the wood and strikes the
glue It softens the glue and that softens
the varnish. This does not happen often,
but It does happen.
Another cause of shrinking la the appli
cation ef one coat of varnish before the
coat beneath la thoroughly dry. F.ach coat
should bs hard enough to hold up the fol
lowing coat before It ta applied.
In tha wareroom. the softest possible
duster should be used. A feather duatsr
makea tiny arratt hea and we recommend
a piece of cheese cloth about a yard
square tcut It don't tear It), boiled to
remove all siting. Don't wash It or
discard It whea it la soiled; it Is ail the
Better.
If the varnisb blooms the cause is damp
naea or Ink of ventilation. Bloom is the
name for the opaque film which some
times forma over fine varnish. Fresh air
and aurltght may remove It. but wssnlng
may be aeceaeary. If so, uae a soft, fine
spong.. what la knowa sometimes aa a
baby sponge. wttH lukewarm water. Wash
the plane carefully and dry ft with tha
light side of a genuine chamois, soaked tn
water and wrung out Juat so It will not
drip; a tittle practice will give tke trick.
.lost pollahea for sale tn stores are un
safe. Vlne-ar or acid la them may eat
eut the Itfe ef the oil. and cause cracks
which wtll aot appear until months later.
The best way is to get a first clase polisher
lo polish the piano, if It really needs it.
If you must pellsk It yourself, use a 111

farmers themselves by Senator .Met 'timber
of North Dakota. In a speech un the Mc
Call bill, rvhlch puts into form for enact
ment Into law the provisions of tha Csna
dlan reciprocity ag-rement In Hie senate
this afternoon.
Holding that the ratification of the agree
ment would spell disaster for the agricul

ing loaned their ears to tha argument
urged for lower rates of duty at the time
of tha passage of the Payne-Aldrlrh bill
and their having given their votes In the
ensuing election to tha opponents of those
members of congress who had voted with
the leaders In the two houses, had been th.
undoing of the farmers.
Ha declared that when a crusade against
the whole tariff system was launched In the
press thst natural conservatism lost Its bal
ance and everything In the tariff bill waa
condemned.
"That w needed money." he continued,
"to run th. government waa lost sight of
and a wave of free trsdlsm that would
have destroyed every vestige of protection
and left tha govemmeru? without revenue
swept over the country."
.Haw Klis of Setioaallsns.
Mr. MeCumber referred to the sectional
Ism that developed in the tariff situation
and the desire of one part of the country
to have lis own products protected while
those of another part should be made to
compete with the free good, brought m
from abroad.
"Under these conditions." he said, "men
of th. middle west were destroved baca.is.
they allowed protection on fabrics and
thereby Increased cost of living. The men
of the east were destroyed because thev
allowed protection on food products and
thereby Increased the cost of living.
"Out of thla turmoil a new political creed
"I" be born and the hero of each localltr
was he who cried 'protection on everything
that we produce and free trade on every
thing the reet of the country produces.'
This Is Tosslsm' of the present day.
"The end to which all this madness

Henater Heaflsss Explains.
OMAHA, Feb. 24. To the Editor of The
Bee: I have noticed In your paper two al
leged Interviews with your city attorney
with reference to the bill regarding the
construction of viaducts. These Interviews
were evidently intended by Mr. Rlne to
give him a little cheap newspaper notoriety.
Ordinarily I would pass such matters un
noticed, but Mr. nine has by his slur and
concealment of the facts endeavored to
cast reflections upon me which are wholly
unwarranted. Mr. Rlne knew this bill was
prepared by Mr. Rich, the attorney for
the L'nion Pacific, and I am Informed by
Mr. Rich that he knew the contents of the
hill before It waa Introduced. Mr. Rlne was
In Lincoln on the day this bill was handed
to me by Mr. Rich and knew I waa going
to introduce it by request.
Mr. Rlne was fully Informed of all the
facta by Mr. Rich. It Is' therefore very
peculiar that after the bill was printed
he should suddenly find a lot of Jokers
when he knew what the Jokers were. If
there were any, before the hill waa In
troduced. The fact Is. after Mr. RJne be
comes fully acquainted with the duties of
a lawyer and the ethics of the profession,
he will want to try Ms lawsuits in the
courts rather than In the newspapers. It
seems to be the peculiar Instincts of young
lawyers to want newspaper advertising and
perhaps he thought he could get It this way
more cheaply than by paying for his ad
vertisement, Mr. Rlne knew that this bill
would have to go to the railroad commit
tee of the senate upon which Douglas
country hss two of Ita senators. Messrs.
Horton and Tanner; he, therefore, knew
that the interests of Omaha would be prop
erly cared for.
When 1 noticed the first comri lunliation
t wrote Mr. Rlne to ascertain If he had
been correctly quoted and have Just re
ceived a letter from him. a part of which
he haa seen ft to publish In the Bee be
fore I received It.
It pays for all people to be fair. In the
short time that I have been In the public
service I think there is one thing that can
be Mid. and that ia that I am not tied up
with any special Interests, especially the
railroad companies and the public-service
corporations. I don't believe Mr. Rlne ran
say as much, and before people rush Into
print, calling other people tools of cor
porations, and especially a man of Mr.
Rlne s standing, they ought to take a llrtla
of the mote out of their own eyes. There
Is no good reason why railroad companies
should not have fair treatment and should
not have an equal opportunity to present
their claims to the legislature. Some mem
ber must Introduce the bill. Mr. Rich came
to me and aa a personal friend asked me
tu Introduce the bill by request. At that
time I had no knowledge that anyone else
had been requested to Introduce It. and I
am Informed that the Douglas county sena
tor, were not so requested. I told Mr.
Rich that I did aot know what I would be
able to o whea the bill cam up fur ac
tion, bit I would present the bill by re
quest and I da not believe there la a sena
tor wba would have refused bis reasonable
request ta cause it ta be lotroduoed. aUoce
n
Pure MaSS
WHAT IT IS WHAT IT DOEO
. -.i-WsjWjiw
the bill baa been lntrodudced I have been
Informed that one of the Douglas county
members of the house had agreed to In
troduce the bill and held It for three
weeks and then explained that the reason
It could not be Introduced by him waa that
Mr. Wattles of the street car company had
made a tie-up with the South Omaha stock
yards In bills pending before the legisla
ture and for that reason ha could not In
troduce it.
I had not read this bill and all I know
of the contents is what Mr. Rich told me
and that the general purpose of the bill
was to relieve the railway company of the
extra burdens caused by strengthening 'he
viaduct so that the street car companies
could run their cars over them.
If this la the situation, no fair person
could refuse them relief, even If they are
a great railway company. If the street car
companlea want viaducts strengthened so
they can run their cars over them they
ought to pay the additional burden caused
thereby, and Mr. Rich Informed me It was
the intention to have the bill so amended
in the committee that there would be no
question but what the street car companies
would stand the extra burden and. there
fore, the city would not be Injured.
Mr. Rlne knew thla when he rushed into
print and that ha would be notified when
the committee met and that he could fully
protect the city's Interests. 'Whether there
are any Jokers In tha bill I do nut know,
and (or tha purpose cf Introducing- It by re
quest I did not care, aa I had no responsi
bility connected therewith and do not In
tend to pay any further attention to it un
lesa It should be reported from the com
mittee for passage, and If 't la ao reported
I will thoroughly investigate It and when
my vota la cast you wtll find It will not be
either In favor of Omaha or the street car
companies or the railroad company, but fur
a fair deal between the company and the
different Interests. J. W. HOAGUAND.
