U. S. consumes Most Lumber.

The United States uses more wood
than any of the other countries. In
fact, the consumption in this country
equals about two-ffths Of the entire
consumption Of the world, or, ex-
pressed in round figures. about 22.500,-
100000 cubic feet. The per capita
consumption In this country is 212
cubic feet. Of which ITO cubic feet, or
a little more than half, is saw timber,
and the balance consists Of cordwood.
Including the losses by fire. Insects
and disease, the total drain on the
country's forests Is close to 25,000,O0O,-
600 cubic feet At the present time
this country Is growing only about
5000. 100000 cubic feet. However, II
the entire forest area of the country
about 470,O00000 acres-were placed
under intensive forestry about 27,OOO,-
100000 cubic feet of timber could ul-
timately be produced each year. This
amount would exceed the present
drain on our forests by relatively
small margin.

MYSTERY OF COON BUTTE
Curious Eminence in Arizona Excites
the Curiosity Of Pros
pectors.

Astronomers have long known that
between the orbits of Mars and Jup-
| tier a large number of tiny planetary
bodies revolve round the sun. Some
Of these have q circumference of but
few miles.
In addition there are countless bill
lions of what might be called meteoric
stones hurting round the sun. These
are constantly entering the earth's at
mosphere and being burned up by the
friction much more completely than
the moth that flies into the candle
flame, says London Tit-Bits.
Has one Of the small planets ever
entered our atmosphere and landed ON
the earth without being entirely con-
sumed? If 1t ever did, it was long
ages before man appeared upon the
earth, for the impact of such an out
slider would cause an earthquake, in
deed.
However, In Arizona there is a curl
GUS eminence called Coon butte, which
rises about 40 feet above the plain.
At the top is a depression or crater
1000 feet wide and about $50 feet
deep. Scattered far and wide around
this hill are fragments resembling
meteoric iron which contain micro
scopic diamonds and many curiously
shaped powders.
1t Is suggested that this hill was
formed by the impact of a gigantic
body from the outside and mining op-
erations are to be started with view
to discovering whether the theory has
any foundation In fact.

frills at neck and sleeves reaffirm the
report that plating Is still very much
in favor. Through series of shir-

Designers have way of using two
shades of the same color this season,
with charming results. A dress OF
faint pink chiffon Is plated from neck
to hem in the fashionable straightline
model. It has girdle made of little
satin rosebuds Of deeper tone.
Another instance of the two-color
scheme is that of aize-colored frock
