A Bio Wood Pile

Probably the biggest wood pile on
record. is to be found in Berlin, n
H.. the center Of an important paper
manufacturing district. The pile
which forms a respectable hill. plain
ly visible from great distance, is
composed of more than 10000 cords
of wood which are TO be made into
paper. An idea of the size of this
pile may be gained from the fact that
its highest point is nearly 500 feet
above the ground while its extreme
length is more than 1000 feet or
nearly quarter of a mile. Some
statistician has figured out that, If
these logs were split up into cord
wood and laid in a straight line, they
would reach nearly twice around the
earth. The pot 1ntial number Of miles
of newspaper it contains must be
fabulous.
