Forest Areas in North America.

The forest area of all the British pos
sessions in America is estimated at
about S00,OOO,0OO acres. The settler has
cut his way into the fringe of the vast
woodland, but his depredotions are
nothing as compared with the terrific
scourge of fire which has rampnged
through it at different times. The
United States has about 100000. COO
acres of forest, but this is being rapid
ly depleted by the NIX and by destruc-
tive fires. The government is now in
vestigating means TO prevent or CON
troll the latter.-Chicago Chronicle.

Tucker, l9-year-old colored boy, was
entombed while cleaning out an old
well at the home of h. IL. Graham, 9O7

low the surface of the earth, the
prayers of the boy could be heard dis

the work of digging to the boy was
pushed with vigor. After eight hours
the boy was rescued, but when brought
to the top tainted. His condition is
