Germany, with a forest area OF
about 26 per cent, realizes annually
nearly S6O.OOO,OOO' worth of timber
therefrom. while the wood importa-

consumption of wood increases from
year to year and systematic forestry
has not succeeded in keeping up the

Whether forests exercise n percepti-

forests about 5000 years ago, and
where hardly any rain now w.falls, while
the heat in the open air attains de-
gree which would make the Olympian
games almost an impossibility.
"A similar condition exists in the
peninsula of Sinai, where thousands of
years ago the people Of Israel lived In
a luxuriant and fertile country and
where to-day only forestless deserts
abound. Palmyra, also once n flour

sents to-day only desolate waste Of
stones and ruins.
