FOREST AND WOOD SUPPLY OF THE UNITED STATES.

Some points of general as well an special interest have been developed by Mr W, N, Lockington as pertaining to the forest a of the United States He says that m*ny imagine that, should the eastern foreits be exhausted, there ia upon the Pacific Coast an inexhaustible fund upon which bo draw. To dispel this idea he writes that the entire area of the true Pac do Coast forest toreat ia not larger than the sUte of California. This relative smallness is, however, to some extent, compensated for by density. The densett forest is located apon the cistern chores of Puget Hound, where over 200 ocrde per aor« can be cut. The district upon the Oasoade Mountains iv Oregon, that brtween the Const Range and the oce^n north of Sp.n Francisco, *nd that ' f the wenterj) slopes of Sierra Nevada, an only ■Ugbt'y tests dense. The entire area ( f the states ea*t of tb;3 Mississippi, save a few small patches upon the ooaefc, and In •nuthern Florida, northern Wlcooutia and Minnesota, Missouri, tbe wo r tern part of Texas and the Indian Territory, and all Louisiana, eav« a belt along the Gulf shore, are, according *o fchisj authority, covered with a o ntinuous forest. In the chi<f timber exporting countries of Europe, namely, Norway and Sweden, no tree is now out unless another Is planted, and oaiy enough are cat to keep within the period of rotation. In time thip oonntry will doubtless bo impelled to adopt this plan to keep up the supply of various kinds of wood. Woodworker.
