A TIMBER FAMINE.

DIR. w. Schlich, the wel!-known for
est expert, in a recent address before
the London Society of Arts. predicted
positive timber famine in the near
future unless systematic measure for
increasing the worlds supply be
speedily adopted. He pointed out tina,
the use of wood, in spite of it's re-
placement by coal as fuel and by steel
in construction, was steadily increas-
ing. The per capita consumption in
the four chief countries of Europe is
now fourteen cubic feet each year,
and in few years will probably reach
twenty cubic feet For this increase
the use of wood in paper making
seems chiefly responsible. The steady
rise in prices, especially of coniferous
woods. in spite of much cheaper trans
pOrtation, shows that the worlds sup.
Plies are rapidly diminishing.
Only five out of eighteen European
countries export more timber than
ley import. Scandinavia and Rus
STA are the principal exporters. The
limit of production in the former
seems to have been reached. Russia
