- ; Xlms Timfob* supply of the i.--. :■• World. ■ . « ' The Foreign Office lias just issued a very timely report, or rather series of reports, oh the '•cultivation of woods and forests m foreign countries. Great Britain, as might be expected, is by far the largest importer of timber m the world; her imported supplies of ; forest, products (inclusive of bark, pitch, wood oils, and similar essentials to manufacture) amounting to ''the annual value of £20,000,000. It is hardly too 'much to say m the words, of . | one of these reports!' that "not alone her maritine supremacy, but her position as a first-class power; m i he worlfj depends. on. the freest supplies of these products, while her. domestic industries would be hope4es,sly crippled, if they were even temporily suspended.' 11 Hense the special importance to England of the -fotest- probtem, for with' * this i enor . m.ous -demand she possesses a 'home sup^lv which is* miserably- small. The entire forest area of Europe is (Calculated fa be £$l,jooo 000 acres. Of this area Russia possesses nearly 47Q,0Q0,0QQ, whUe the >ft«es;ts u: ()f Great Britain cover only 2,17M53 acres. It would ; of course be ajbsurd to expect that, the, Unite/J,, Kingdom: ! could 'ever ! maintain ; iMks ! sufficiently ;larg^, to supply the demands ; of the British , market, but the ,' facts set fcirtji m these repprtswilj certainly, draw, renewe^^^^ attention to; ■projects for utilising; waste, .lands, ''m Irejand and, Slco.tlanld. , by planting them with trees. It is quite ■ clear from the. careful statistics projvi^ed thati ; the entire timber supply rtfj the .world; has- beeh'daflgerbusly reduced by an wantingly extravagent ' consnmption. • A simple proof r bf this is found m the Remarkable adva'njco.ijn; prices; From ' 1 830 to the ; pfesen t time, Engei; an eminent ; authority, calculates tha,t the increase m the price of timber; m Qermany may be estimated; at nearly 300 per cent. During the eight years prior to 1882 the pr.ee' of timber, wasdoubled, and although increased. railway com.mu-' nication would no doubt throw open many virgin forests m : the Russian Empire, these woods speedily disappear m the face of the enormous, and growing consumption. : One cause \Vhich has m the past largely contributed to the; popular indifference as to the diminution' 'of the timber supply has '• been 'the notion that m the forests of North America Europe has exhaustless stores to dmw upon. This', as tfie, , reports sliow, is a complete delusion. The entire forest area ,of the United States wasjn 1870 calculated at (380,006,000 acres. ; At that; time it was estimated that ]0,Q00,Q00 acres of woods were consumid anJtually, . while. - only IOjOOO acres were annually replanted. ; - [ „. ;Uurn tor Indjgestvori.r-oaxter's Cfampound Qui//inc Pills,, used according to tli'o directions, have proved a certain and speedy cure for indigestion, bilious and liver eotnplnints, wind m tho stomach ; and bowels, nervous dehilitv,&c. !
