Greatest Lumber Cut.

More lumber was cut In the United
States last year than IN any other year
Of its history. The enormous amount
of 81, $50, 1856 board feet was produced.
l51.3SS. In addition, there were pro-
duced ll.s5S, 260, 900 shingles, valued
at $24, l55, ,555. and 1872, ,s07 900 lath,
valued at $ll, ,49o,570. On the whole,
1t is safe To say that the present an
nual lumber cut OF the United States
approximates 40 billion feet. and that
the total mill value of the lumber.
lath, and shingles each year produced
is not less than 00,000,OOO. These
figures give some idea Of how vast Is
the lumber industry and how great is
the demand for its pronucts.
A glance at the kinds Of lumber
produced shows very clearly the pass
ing of white pine and oak, one the
greatest softwoOd and the other the
greate,t hardwood which the forest
has ever grown, Since 1899 the cut of
white pine has fallen off more than 40
per cent, while that Of white oak has
fallen off more than 36 per cent. To-
day yellow pine leads all other woods
In amount cut, while Douglas tir-and
this will be surprise to many
comes second. Since 1899 the cut or
Douglas tir has increased 1876 per cent.
Louisiana is the foremost yellow pine
State, with Texas. Mississippi and Ar
kansas following in order. Washing
ton produces by far the greatest
amount of Douglass fir.
A comparison of the lumber pro-
ducing states shows that since 1899
there have been many changes In their
relative rank. Washington which In
1899 stood sixth, now leads, while
Wisconsin, which eight years ago led
all others, is now third. In the same
period Oregon, Louisiana, Mississippi,
Idaho and California made great
strides as lumber producing states,
though, on the other hand, the
amount produced 10 Michigan. WIS
cousin, Minnesota. Georgia. Kentucky,
Tennessee, Missouri, Indiana, and
Ohio fell off anywhere from 20 TO 81
per cent.
The highest-pr native woods are
walnut, hickory, and ash, and the
cheapest are larch and white tir.
From the fact, however, that since
1899 the average increase in the price
of lumber has been 40 per cent, IL will
not be long bsfOre cheap woods are
few and far between.

FEW FREAKS IN ARCHITECTURE.
Eccentricity on the Part of Those
Building and Furnishing Houses.

Instances of ecCentricity on the part
of those building and furnishing
houses are common enough in every
community. The following instances
of freakishness in that regard may be
cited in illustration Of certain phases.
A Russian gentleman has erected at
a cost of 5000 rubles on his country
estate at Savinowka. in Podolia, a 16-
room house made entirely of paper.
This house, which was constructed in
New York. is calculated by its archi-
tect to last longer than would a stone
building. The whole of the furniture,
too, is made from the same material.
In County Westmeath. Ireland, a
house has been built whereof all the
windows are made to resemble in out
line the backs of of easy chairs, being
thus constructed by its eccentric own
Ger to match the backs of a set of
chairs in the dining room.
In Connecticut a certain land owner,
thinking that the view from his house
lacked church, proceeded to supply
its place by erecting row of cottages
% uCSiS utu DIS W IeSeluDlc, from MS
side, the edifice required. Approached
from the other direction, however, the
sham is at once manifest.
Some years ago a man of scientific
attainments, as we'll as of considerable
means, elected TO live in tree In
suburb of Washington-that is he en-
joyed his leisure moments I'm the
branches Of the tree itself, where he
had caused to be built a platform
large enough to accommodate easy
chairs and such other furniture as he
desired to make use of during the day.
At the base OF the tree. however.
and surrounding II was built a struc-
ture of brick and stone inclosing the
sleeping apartments of this eccentric
individual For many years this
unique residence was one of the
sights of the national capital.
One OF the oldest houses ever con-
structed was the fruit of a French
mans inventive fancy. This was the
revolving house" structure actual
ly built upon casters, so to speak. in
order that the occupant might by
means of an ingenious mechanism at
any time roll 1t about. obtaining what.
ever light and air his fancy dictated.
