1t is a strange thing to express the
value of novels in terms of wood, but an
English periodical has lately been esti-
mating what it calls the tree value" of
the modern novel. Since paper is made
of ceilulose, and the chief source of sup
ply of cellulose is tim Der, it is estimated
that nine popular novels have swept
away 1000 trees. According to this
every popular novelist ought in duty
bound to spend at least a part of his
spare time in planting trees.
