OUTPUT OF TWO FORESTS.
Immense Amount of Lumber Cut in
Wisconsin and Minnesota.

About 4.160,OOO.O00 feet of logs were
cut in the season of 1S95-that is to say,
what is equivalent to AGO 100000 pieces
of board 12 inches square and one inch
thick. | wonder if even the lumber
men themselves. and the log-cutters,
and the manufacturers of lumber in
the great mills. realize what an enOr-
nous amount of lumber this is. Why,
it would build house around the globe,
with a main room ten feet high and a
large attic, ceiling up the inside walls
and roof with sweet fragrant pine;
it would put down a matched floor;
and then, when the house was all COM
pleted, there would be left enough lum-
Der to build tight board fences on
either side of the house. 3h feet high,
the whole distance around the globe.
Besides all this, there would be shingles
enough for q good portion of the house;
and then, if the mighty builder of such
globe-girdling house wanted to fit
it up little more neatly, there would be
the plasterers could furnish him enough
StuccO ana llmeN -.t .'-.r ss .iltI.
Or if he wanted to construct roof
shelter for all the people on the globe,
our mighty builder could accommodate
them all, allowing toreach man, wom-
an and child clear space of two square
feet in which to stand. and still have
room left over for 100000 of them
with the same room in which to stand
And, to look at it in still! another way.
this same builder would have material
to construct bicycle-path of pine, a
little over two feet wide, from the earth
to the moon, for there would be nearly
100000 miles of board foot wide and
an inch thick. In saving this lumber
up into the required length and thick
ness, there was great waste in sawdust
so great, indeed, that the sawdust pile
would stand 112 feet high on a city
square, and 500 feet square at the base;
and this is saying nothing about the
vast amount of pieces of slabs which
are split up into kindlings.
This enormous quantity Of lumber
represents merely the output of two
forests-one in the northwestern part
| Of the state Of Wisconsin, and the other
in the northern part of the state OF Min
nesota, and at the rate the logs are
being cut up there will not be piece Of
pine forest standing in all this vast
region at the end of ten years, unless
| something is done by the government
to put stop to the ravages.-W. S.
Harwood, in St. Nicholas.

Recovered from the Sen.

After having been submerged in 1s0
feet of water for seven years, the treas
ure on board the steamer Skyro, sunk
off Cape Finisterre in April, 1891, has
been recovered by divers. The Skyro
sailed from Cartagena, bound for Lon
don, with a valuable cargo, including
bar silver, valued at s45,OOO. All went
well until approaching Cape Finisterre
in foggy weather, when the vessel
struck on the Mexiddo reef, but passed
over, and went down in deep water
within 90 minutes, and about two miles
off the coast. An expedition went out
in the same year, but was unable to Sc
cure the treasure. Last year another
effort was made, with more powerful
diving apparatus, and resulted in 50
bars being recovered. The working
depth for the diver was never less than
aSHt tfathoms--171. feet-and it, fire.
auently exceeded this. To obtain these
bars it was found necessary to blow
away the deck with dynamite, which
the diver did, only after great difficulty
owing to the boiSterous state of the
weather. Work was compulsorily sus-
pended in October, but again resumed
last summer with satisfactory results

OCEAN TELEGRAPH GABLES.
All Told About 152,C90 Niles Have
Been Laid.

Been Laid.
A cable will be laid next summer from
Scotland to Iceland by way If the Farce
islands. The Icelandic parliament has
voted a subsidy to the enterprise. 1t is
believed that Great Britain will con-
meet Iceland with British America by
ca BILE, so as to give her another cable
route to this country.
Less than so years ago the first cable
was laid between Great Britain and the,
American continent. Now cable is
laid every year. The last Transatlantic
cable was laid by the Commercial Cable
company in 1894, but many smaller
cables have been laid since. Just now
the interest of the world, or so much
of it as is absorbed by the cable ques-
ton, is centered in the connection be-
tween the American continent and the
far west, under the Pacific ocean.
Great Britain has undertaken to lay a
cable from British Columbia to Aus
tralia by way of the FIJI islands. At
the same time two American companies
are struggling for the privilege of lay
ing cable from our western coast to
Japan and China by way Of Hawaii.
When one of these Pacific cables has
been completed the earth will be
girdled. This consummation has been
slow in coming. 1t is promised at a
time when Tesla claims that he will be
able soon to telegraph to any part of the
world without cables or even land
wires.
There are about $4,000 miles of ca
bles, which have cost about 100000, 900.
These figures are only approximate, be-
cause no one knows exactly the condi-
ton of all the cables. Undoubtedly
some useless and abandoned cables still
appear on the map.
Nine-tenths of the cables of the world
are controlled by Great Britain, and
even the American cables make a first
landing on British-American soil OF
the ten transatlantic cables in active
use, not one lands in the United States.
Those which do not land in English pos
sessions have their termini on a French
island. 1t has been said that in case
of war with the United States, Great
Britain would have an advantage over
us through the contro, Of the cables.
She would not control the French ca
bles, and it is not likely she would
control the Canadian cables long.
The route of every cable on the
oceans bed has been marked and
mapped carefully. If we had trouble
with Great Britain it wCuid be COM
paratively simple thing to send a re-
pair ship out to grapple for the cables
and cut them. It would be difficult to
Patrol each line, and it is altogether
likely that a conflict between Great
Britain and the United States, if it
came to serious blows, would be settled
without interference from the cable

Bi.m.reh,. Idea. of Government.

Bismarck is one of the great figures
of history. Without him the union un-
der common government Of so large
. portion of the German lands would
hardly have been achieved. Whether he
was the one to create a nation as well
~ a government is not so clear. He
is at heart thorough tory, who believes
in governing people whether they will
or not. The Germans, intelligent, in
dustrious, patriotic in spirit, would
seem capable of governing themselves
il any people are. They sadly need the
training which can be had only from
the practice of self-government. Bis
marck, hating free parliaments. free
speech, free press, assumes that only
q little knot of princes and chancellors
have the aforementioned skill to pro-
vide government for the whole nation.
The great, and intellectual, and fear
less German people will some day weary
of that notion.-Prof. H P. Judson,
LII. D.. in Chautauquan.
