year or so ago a London publisher

had just been issued in America. Shortly
afterward Mrs. Barr visited London and
called on the publisher.
Mr.. Smith, she said, you owe me
$4,000"
What for? was the response.
For the novel of mine you published
a little while ago.
But Mrs. Barr you know we don't pay
for that sort of thing. You Americans
steal from u.s. and we English think it
only tit for tat now and then to steal
from you

cial Value.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-(SpeciaI. when
there was an abundant supply of the best
quality of timber it was the habit of lum-
bermen to neglect all but the best species.
For instance, in Indiana and Ohio the
white oak trees were cut and the red
oak trees were left In the South only
a few years ago, the gum, which Is now
of considerable commercial Importance,
was left to rot in the woods. On the
Pacific coast the western hemloclS was not
considered worth transporting from the
forest to the mill. In consequence the
supply of high class timbers has been SER
iously depleted, and the character of the
forest has been changed by the reproduce
ton of the inferior species which were left
In possession; while the lumberman has
had to extend his operations over a large
area in order to secure the necessary
amount of timber. If these inferior species
can be cut and market at a profit, 1t
will be possible in the future to lumber
with far less detriment to the forest, and
at the same time the available supply of
timber will be greatly increased.
Unwarranted Opinions.
Inc current unfaNOraDle opinions con-
corning these so-called inferior species
are largely matters of tradition, which
Investigation proves was unwarranted.
Indeed, in some cases, lumber such as
gum and sap pine is exported form this
country and held in high esteem abroad.
Our engineers and architects as a rule,
consider sapwood weaker and much less
fit for structural use than heartwood.
OF course in the matter of durability Of
unpreserved timber under severe condi-
lions of exposure, there is no question but
that heartwood Is very much to be pre-
ferred to sapwood. But for use indoors
sapwood timbers are abundantly strong.
Carriages manufactures know that the
strongest and most resilient wood for
spokes, shafts, etc, is rapid grown sap

that fast grown second growth red oak.
so far strength is concerned, is full
equal to white oak. Much work remains
to be done to bring out the facts under

seminate information as to the relative adj
vantages of first and second growth tim
bers and the value of such woods as west
ern hemlock and lob-lolly pine. which are
of increasing Importance in the national
supply of structural timber. The timber
tests which the Bureau of Forestry is
making are bring the facts concerning
these matters before the users of tim
Der.
The introduction of western hemlock
to the market as a building material has
met with many obstacles. The hemlock
of the east is far inferior to the western
species as building wood, and preju-
dice existing against the eastern species
is unjustly extended to that of the west.
The latter is a hard straight. and even
gre ined wood, nearly white in color. 1t
does not split readily, and is light and
tough. These characteristics peculiarly
fit it for manufacture into boxes. 1t is
also a superior wood for all inside finish
ing, as it takes a high polish and has ex-
oellent wearing qualities. 1t can be readi
ly kiln dried at high temperature without
injury. Mechanical tests have shown It
to possess about 70 per cent of the
strength of red fir and to be suited for all
except the heaviest structural demands.
Large quantities of this timber are now
sold under other names than its own.
There is no Just cause for the prejudice
which necessitates this deception and
western hemlock should be handled under
Its right name.
The LoblolIy Pine.
mother tree which has been discrimin-
ated against is the loblolly pine. This is a
tree of a wide range of distribution, and
Bureau tests have shown that under
proper conditions of growth. 1t can fur
nish wood of great structural merit. 1t,
too is sold under fictitious names, when
it should be sold on its merits. The prin-
cipal objection to 1t is that it is usually
sapwood and decays rapidly when ex-
posed. But 1t is of open grain and can be
very successfully treated with preserva-
tives, which should entirely eliminate
this objection. Many of the so-called in
ferior timbers can be more thoroughly
and successfully treated with preserva-
tives than can the more solid timbers.
Happily, this In a marked degree the
case with the abundant loblo1ly pine and
this tree is certain to come into general
and appreciated use.
Another phase of this work is in con-
