Among the latest uses to which il 10
proposed 10 put the electric light is the
illumination Of rivers to permit the

Eastern furniture manufacturers are
seriously troubled at the scarcity Of wal.
nut lumber. Before the value of this
wood as an article of commerce WAS
understood. great quantities of it were
neediessly destroyed. or used by farm.
ers for the commonest purposes. Whole
acres were burned for the purpose OF
clearing land, and it was turned into
fence rails and hog troaghs. They
know better now. but there are few
places where much of the wood is to be
found. Indiana aud Canada West, that
were formerly the principal sources oi

however. some promising tracts in the
