mills of the world. I visited the larE-
est of them not long ago. it il maxi
ing mechanical and chemical pulp for
shipment to the United States. The
wood used Is spruce cut in the forests
above Lake Superior, and brought
down to the great watcrpowera at Sault
Ste. Marie, where there is drop of
twenty feet from Lake Superior to
Lake Huron. The mills stand on the
edge OF the water and great turbines
furnish the power. The spruce is cut
in the forests during the winter, and
noated down the rivers to the lake
and thence OIL to the Sault. There are
great piles of this timber on the
shore and in the water. and stacks of
it not far from the mills. AS l looked
at it it seemed to me could see tho
newspapers inside the log. and ! was
play "As You Like It," who expected
to find in the forest Of Arden
Tongues in trees, books in The running brooks
Sermons i'll stones, and good in everything.
That was several centuries ago,
but mills like this are now making the
tree-tongues speak and preach their
sermons to all the world. Moreover
through the WaterpoWers which move
the mills we are finding books III

ing newspapers out of the SaWloSS

The logs used for making paper
are of various diameters. 1T takes
about a cord of wood to make a ton
of pulp, and IL roll which weighs that

any city pavement for the length
of three and a half miles. The logs
ground during my stay were about
a foot thick. The first process was
taking off the bark. This was done
by planning machines, and the wood
thus stripped was carried OIL endless
belts to the factory and dropped into

six acres OF good sized, trees. FROM
this it will be seen that the demand
for news print is rapidly eating UP
our forests OF certain trees. and the
question arises as to the supply TOR
the future. According to the forestry
department., we have vast amount
of pulp wood on the government res
'ervations, and this, is especially SO
In the western states and Alaska. the
government has q laboratory for test
ing such woods at Madison, Wis, and
it is making fine paper OF many va
rieties Of wood that have. not been
used. before. The scientists say that
almost any tree can be used Tor new
print, and that vast deal or Wood
pulp can be created from those parts
of the tree new wasted in the manu-
facture Of lumber. Mr.. Henry Graves,
the chief forester of the United states,
:.ays that one-fourth of the average
tree is left in the woods in getting
out timber, and that in turning a
sawlog into lumber about one hair
of It's contents go to waste. rms
waste is going on all ever the United
States, and it equals the consump-
ton of something like 100000
cords Of pulp wood per annun. This
means a waste of that many tons
of wood pulp. We are now consum-
ing something like 100000 tons of
wood pulp per year, so that the waste
in lumber alone is equal to almost
fifty times the amount we are using.
. Mr.. Graves estimates that we have
left in the national forests 74.OO0,-
100000 feet of hemlock, 1Cb.0oo,-
100000 feet OF western yellow pine.
42,0GO, 100000 feet of lodge pole pine
aud 10000. 100000 feet OF Sitka
spruce. all of which will make pulp.
lie says that some of the best pulp
making sites Of the future Will be
In Alaska. and that We shall soon
be consuming Alaska pulpwood in
the shape of newspapers at our
breakfast tables. Much Of this

when reading interviews with es-
