Lumber Industry In United States
Reaches Enormous Size.

Striking facts regarding our forest re.
sources, their value and their waste, are
condensed in an eight page illustrated
circular of the American forestry asso-
citation just issued. The lumber indus.
try is said to employ $4,000 people, to
whom are paid annually 1867 100000 in
wages, the worth of products being ST.
$4,000. The forests of the country
cover 550,000,000 acres.
An average of 10 human lives are
sacrificed annually in forest fires, says
the circular, and loss occurs of $685.
100000. Damage from insects and tree
diseases, which follow fire. costs each
year S50,0o0,000. The cost of destruc-
ton resulting from foods is not es-
timated, but is given as countless mill
lions"
But the circular expresses hope more
than pessimisn. As well as the colored
pictures showing the forest fire, the eff
fects of the FIRE and the damage caused
by floods, it shows also forests planted
and grown under intensive management,
and the national forest ranger scouting
for fires on the mountain lookout sta
ton. The effective patrol here referred
to has reduced forest fire losses to as
low as one-tenth of one cent an acre"
1t is pointed out that by planting forests
an annual income could be derived in
the country of $4,000, 600; and by pre-
sentative treatment upon timber each
year Sl00,000,0o0 could be saved.

The question is whether we are to take

He pointed out that if no tolls were

Senator Root told of the men who
had been concerned on the part of this

The Lilacs.

shall always sort OF banker when the
lilacs are in bloom
For their sweetness, born in purple, and
their gladness of perfume,
As they looked to me of mornings, all
rain washed or dewey wet;
| can shut my eyes and see them, and
believe | smell them yet;
Making brighter all the dooryard of the
home | used to know,
Making sweeter all the borders Of the
paths | used to go,
Making splendid all the dawnings when
all of life's months were May,
As they now make sweet the dreamings
of the fields of yesterday.
There was one big clump of lilacs, purple
lilaes, and they grew
Close beside the cottage doorway; and
we used to brush the dew
From the sweetness of their blossoms
every morning stepping DER
The old sill, and they grew upward till
their higher branches bore
Up against my bedroom window and,
tap-topping at the pane
They would wake me in the morning, to
go whistling down the lane
To the bars tc bring the cows up for the
morning milking time;
Then all the day to play in, run and
jump and swim and climb.
But no dreaming viii bring lilacs from
the ways Of long ago,
More than it brings apple blossoms from
the trees | used to know;
Dreaming brings no dewy lanes back,
brings no cows beside the bars,
Brings no May born sweetness breathing
through the night beneath the
stars.
If / haven't got the lilacs / have got
the roses red,
And wistaria all dew wet on the trellis
overhead;
And the iasamine win be blooming. and
the world is sweet to me.
Till I'm not so very homesick for the
days that used to be.

RECORD PRODUCTION IN 1918
OF Bauxite and Aluminium in the United
States, Says Geological Survey.

The year 1913 was the most prosper
Gus in the history of the bauxite and
aluminium industries in the United
States, according to W. G. Phalen, of
the United States Geological Survey, in
q report on the production of bauxite
and aluminium in 1918, from Mineral
Resources" The production of ba,ixite
in 1913 was 2lo,24l long tons, valued
at S76s,932. against 1886 long tons,
valued at S768,932, in 1912. Bauxite is
used chiefly as raw material in the pro-
duction of metallic aluminium, in the
manufacture of aluminium salts, in the
manufacture of bauxite bricks, and in
the manufacture Of alundum for use as
an abrasive
The amount of aluminium consumed in
the United States in 1913 was 1880
pounds, against 65,607,000 pounds in
1912. The marvellous growth of the
aluminium industry is shown by COM
parison of the 1913 output with the to-
tai consumption of aluminium during the
last 20 years, 377,000,000 pounds. More
than 329,000,000 pounds have been con-
sumed in the last 10 years. The total
production in 1884 was only $50 pounds
Aside from its use in the manufacture
of cooking utensils, aluminium is now
being employed on a larger scale in the
construction of welded tanks, cooking
watts and vessels used by brewers, pre-
serve manufacturers, and fat recoverers,
and in industries where a metal is re-
quired that will conduct heat, will not
corrode, and is not poisonous. 1t has
been found by experiments that the only
substances which dissolve any of the
metal are oranges, lemons, Brussels
sprouts, and tomatoes, and that in every
test the quantity dissolved was so small
as to be harmless
The use of aluminium wire as con-
ductor in long distance power transmits
sion schemes is increasing. A recently
developed branch of the aluminium in
dustry is the manufacture of the pow
dered metal known as aluminium bronze
powder, which is used extensively as a
paint pigment, in explosives, in litho-
graphing, and in printing. Aluminium
foil has partly displaced tinfoil for
wrapping articles such as cheese, choc-
olate candies, and tobacco. One of the
newest and perhaps oldest uses for
aluminium is its employment in making
the soles of shoes to be used by work
men employed in wet and damp places.
The aluminium soled shoe lasts much
longer than an ordinary shoe and is said
to be impervious to dampness.
