Wood Rurnara a paris.

Despite all modern Improvements,
Paris still heats its offices and its
houses to o large extent with wood.
Its bakers and confectioners use hard
ly anything else for fuel. 1t burns up
whole forests OF timber every year,
and extensive forests In several re-
gions Of France are reserved for sup
plying 1t with fuel Coal is scarce in
France and dear and not Of very good
quality. Besides, the Parisians are con-
servative in home matters. The CHEEKY

hearth appeals to them, and most like
" generations will pass before they
give up burning wood altogether.
