The Almost Inoonceivabfe Amount of Ium-
 Der Cut Tn Wisconsin and Minnesota.
 "The Story of Pine Board" is the title of an article by w. s. Harwood in St Nicholas. Mir. Harwood says of the numbering in Wisconsin and Minnesota; l;
 About 4,i6O, ,000, ,000 feot of logs were cut in the season of 1895--that is to say, what is equivalent to 1, 160, 000,- 900 pieces of board l2 inches square and 1 Inch think. Iwonder if even the lum- Der men themselves, and the log eutterA and tho manufacturers of lumber in the great mills. realize what an enormous amount of lumber this is Why, 1t would build house around tho globe, with main room ten foet high and large attic, ceiling up the Inside walls and roof with sweet, fragrant pine. It would put down matched Aoor and then. when the house was all oom- pleted, there would be left enough lum- Der to build tight board fences on either side of the house 8 1G feet high the whole distance around the globe. Besides all this there would be shingles enough for a good portion of the house, and then, if the mighty builder of such globe girdling house wanted to fit 1t up Q lit- t1e more neatly, there would be large supply of laths, and, 1 suppose, tho plasterers could furnish him enough stueoo and lime
 Or if he wanted to construct roof shelter for all the people on the globe our mighty builder could accommodate them all, allowing to each man, woman and. child clear space of two square feet In which to stand, and still have room loft over for 50o, 900, GOO men with the same room in which to stand And, to look at 1t in still another way, this same builder would have material to construct bicycle path of pine. lit- tle over two feet wide, from tho earth to the moon. for there would Do nearly 800, GOO miles of board foot wide and an inch thick. In saving this lumber up into the required length and thickness there was great waste in sawdust-so great, indeed, that the sawdust pile would stand 1Ia feet high on city square and 500 feet square at tho base, and this Is saying nothing about the vast amount or pieces or slaDs Wh1cn are split up into kindlings
 This enormous quantity of lumber represents merely the output of two forests-one in the northwestern part of tho state of Wisconsin, and the other in the northern part of tho state of Minne- sota, and at tho rate the logs arc 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 tho government to put asstop to the ravages.
