The mills are chewing up the spruce
at an alarming rate nowadays, and the
question of forest preservation be-
comes more important. In Maine, east
of the Androscoggin basin, are i'm
mense forests, but nearly every town
ship in the State has been cut oveE
more or less closely for spruce say
logs. About 5000 square miles in Nhe
drainage of the St John river carWm

problem to figure out how long this

tinue. Moreover. the saw mills in
those districts require for lumber 4
quantity Of spruce equal at least to the
demands Of the pulp mills. Paper
must be made from spruce wood. even

A sight was witnessed one day at

has charge Of the snake cages, was
about to feed the reptiles, when, to his
horror, he saw one blacksnake meas.
uring six feet devouring its mate,
which was about the same length and
size Of itself. The reptile had swal.
lowed It's fellow head first, and only a
foot and half still remained outside
its mouth. 1t was lying quietly, and
about once every 30 seconds a swal.
lowing motion would seize 1t, when as
much as two inches Of its meal would
disappear. Myers opened the cage
and. grabbing the powcrless snake by
the tail, began Juggling away to release
1t. This proved to be no easy task. as
the enthusiastically inclined monster
had firm hold on its breakfast. Aft.
