Timber Cut by Electricity.
Country Life in America.

Country Life in America.
A new and interesting method
of cutting trees was experimental
upon recently in the forests of
France, which may prove to be of
great commercial value.
A platinum wire Is charged
with a heavy current of electricity
to a white heat, and is then used
like n saw. The process takes
about one-eight the time of the
ordinary saw, no sawdust Is pro
duced and the carbonizatlon caus-
ed by the heated wire acts as u
light preservative to the end of
the timber.

Tennessee, Oklahoma, Utah and
Kansas has lost 100000 and the
grong of Atlantic States, Alabama,
Georgia, Florida, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Kentucky and
Virginia has fallen off $4,000.
Mr.. Hester'o o report on the cot
ton crop of the different States is
given as follows IN thousands of
