Cured at irregular intervals the forest

pounds balances the wheel, which,
thanks to the ball bearings, easily turns
at the same time in both horizontal

firmly fixed around the felloes of the

The deathdefying Yale, who uses a

bottom and inside the big wheel, which
is then motionless. AS he pedals more
land more rapidly he imparts oppo-
site motion to the gyroscope. just as
captive squirrel turns its cage. So by
suddenly checking his bicycle Yale is
carried toward the top of the big wheel.
At certain height the force that
carries him up becomes nil. Then he be-
gins to pedal faster and faster, and SO
imparts increased speed to the track

By repeating this several times
speed so tremendous is attained at last.

The feat requires sure eye, great
nerve and skill, nice balancing, else

also considered. Until the voluminous
data thus obtained have been tabulated
and compared absolute figures and con-
illusions cannot be announced, but suf-
ficient progress has been made to war
rant some general statements of conclu-
sions.
The market value and amount of
standing timber, yellow poplar and
white oak are the two most important
trees of the region. These species were
formerly found throughout almost the
entire region in merchantable Quanti-
ties. but they have been cut so extern
sively where there are transportation
facilities that it is now usually neces-
sary to go back long distance into the
woods to find firSt-class stands of either
of them. Poplar attains magnificent
tricts and in the rich river bottoms of
central Tennessee and Kentucky. but
its best development is reached in the
higher mountains of Tennessee and
North Carolina. White oak reaches its
best development in the river valleys of
Tennessee and Kentucky White poplar
always forms small proportion of the
timber of the area, it very often forms a
large proportion of the merchantable
timber. White oak is present in very
much greater numbers than poplar over
the region as whole, and occasionally
forms over so per cent. of the stand.
LAUNDERING has had serious effect on
the reproduction of both poplar and
white oak. When the white oak is cut,

disappears in western Tennessee and
kentucky. Mature chestnut is damaged
more severely by fire than any of the
other species of the region. A consider
able part of it's mature timber is defect
i've for this reason. Much of the timber
Is also wormy. In the past but little
chestnut has been cut for lumber, but
the output is now increasing. A new
use for chestnut, which has developed
very rapidly in the last few years, is for
making tannin extract For this purpose
all grades and sizes of chestnut above
about five inches in diameter are used.
There are number of factories making
the extract, one of which consumes $50
cords of this wood daily. This industry
makes possible the utilization of the
limbs and tops and the defective chest
nut, which otherwise would be wasted,
and materially assists in conservative
management by making this timber
more valuable and cleaner logging prac-
ticable
Chestnut oak is abundant in the
mountains, it's stand decreasing west
ward. 1t is confined chiefly to the ridges,
and In most sections is short bodied
and of little value for sawlogs. 1t is
usually expensive to lumber because of
its -inaccessibility. The chief value of
chestnut oak in this region has been for
tanbark, for which, in some places, it
has been largely cut
Red and black oak are most abundant
in the western lowland part of the re-
glon. where they often form over 20 per
cent. of the stand. In addition to their
use in large amounts for lumber and
slack cooperage, they are also now ex-
tensively cut along the navigable rivers
for railroad ties, for which purpose pre-
sentative treatment has recently made
them available. These oaks form but a
relatively small part of the forests in the
eastern mountainous districts. where in
the past almost none of them have been
cut, owing to their low market yalue
But now lumbermen who are operating
In the mountains take these oaks along

The demands upon this hardwood

industries employing large MANUFACTURE

plies. The most important of these in
dustries are those using hardwoods for

ern Appalachian mountains
and the country lying between them
and the Mississippi river. For the last
two or three years the bureau of forestry
has been carefully studying this region,
which is rich in commercial species, es-
pecially yellow oak, chestnut, white pine
and hemlock. A study was first made
of the proportion of each of these species
in the various types of forest, their mer-
charitable yield and their rate of growth.
Last summer II agents of the bureau
were assigned to an investigation of the
market conditions governing the log
ging and use of each of these species,
and IL more to study of the important
characteristics of each tree and the pos
sibilities of each under management
The data obtained in this and previous
studies are now being formulated for
