Burro 
The Mexican substitute for the flat car, the moving 
van, wagon or wheelbarrow. A beast of many bur- 
dens. The best known test for self-control in the 
Southwest. To give all the definitions of this little 
beast that one might gather in the course of a day’s 
ride through the country where it is found would be 
against public policy, so we will refer the reader to 
the text of the story for further information on the 
subject. 
Calipers 
An instrument consisting of a straight rule set off in 
inches and fractions thereof, with two arms attached 
to it at right angles, one fixed at the end of the rule, 
the other sliding along the rule. One of them is 
placed on either side of the trunk of the tree, whose 
diameter is’thus shown on the rule. To ‘‘caliper’’ a 
tree is to measure its diameter by means of the calipers. 
When this diameter is found at the height of four 
and a half feet from the ground, called ‘‘breast 
height,’’ and the height of the whole tree is estimated, 
the number of feet of timber board measure that the 
tree will total when cut and made into lumber can be 
learned from volume tables prepared for the purpose. 
Cardinal 
The cardinal points of the compass are the four 
principal ones, East, West, North, and South.
