Rare Wood Monopolixed.

There Is a firm Of decorators and fur
niture-makers in this city which stands
In the unique position Of owning every
piece Of one kind Of wood that Ia
known to the markets Of the world.
1t Is called "comino," and was brought
to this city by an expert in rare woods
from South America twenty-five years
ago. He saw its beauty and value
while it was in the rough, and after
buying all the logs he could lay his
hands on he had them brought to New
York and sawed up into veneers, and
then stored his treasure away.
Some time later he interested the
head Of the decorating firm in ths
wood, and the latter took 1t all Off hi,
hands The wood is now slowly being
made into beautiful pieces of furni
ture that are the admiration of ex.
perts principally for the beautiful fin.

Cars Wealth i'm Forests.

Few people who have not Travelled
about the Russian empire can imagine
how boundless is its wealth In timber.
wooden Russia" is the name applied
to the vast forest areas Of Russia in
Europe, which cover nearly 100000
acres, or 36 per cent of the entire area
of the country. In Russia houses built
OF any other material than wood are
almost unknown outside the cities and
wood constitutes the principal fuel.
The forest belt called the "Talga," in
Siberia, stretches in direct line from
the Urals to the Pacific for 1000 miles
and in many parts is 500 miles broad.
All this is the property Of the car.
