OUTPUT OF TWO FORESTS.

THE Almost Incunceivable Amount of Lum-
Der Cut In wisconsin and Minnesota.
1.-THE Story of Pine Board is the
title of an article by w. S. HARDWOOD i'll
St Nicholas. Mr. HARDWOOD says of the
numbering in Wisconsin and Minnesota:
About AGO, 100000 feet of logs
were cut i'll the season of 1S95-that is
to say, what is equivalent to 4, 100, 000,
900 pieces of board IL inches square and
| inch think wonder if even the lum-
Der men themselves, and the log cutters,
and the manufacturers of lumber i'll the
great mills, realize what an enormous
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. 1t
would put down matched floor, and
then, when the house was all COM
pletcd, there would be left enough lum-
Der to build tight board fences on either
side of the house - feet high the whole
distance around the globe. Besides all
this there would be shingles enough for
good portion of the house, and then,
if the mighty builder of such globe
girdling house wanted to fit it up lit
tie more neatly. there would be a large
supply of la;hs, and, | suppose, the
plastercrs could furnish him enough
stucco 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 left over for 500, 900, 900 men
with the same room i'll which to stand
And, to lock at it in still another way,
this same builder would have material
to construct Il bicycle path of pine, lit
tie over two feet wide, from the earth
to the moon. for there would be nearly
500, 600 miles of board foot wide and
all inch thick In saving this lumber up
into the required length and thickness
there was great waste i'll sawdust-so
great, indeed, that the sawdust pile
would stand ll2 feet high on a city
square and 800 feet square at the base
and this is saying nothing about the
vast amount OF pieces OF SLABS Wnlch
are split up into kindlings.
This enormous quantity of lumber
represents merely the output of two
forests-one Ill the northwestern part of
the state of Wisconsin, and the other in
the northern part of the state of Mime
sofa and at the rate the logs are being
cut up there will not be piece of pine
forest standing i'll all this vast region at
the end Of ten years unless something is
done by the government to put stop
to the ravages
