The Bawery Theatre, New York, the destruction of which by fire was reported by oahle a day or two ago, was first opened to the public on 23rd October, 1826, and was the first theatre to have its »tage lit with gas. The size of stage and auditorium was greater than any other theatre in America, seating accommodation being provided for 3000 people, and in point of decoration it was unsurpassed. It was hoped at the time of its erection that it would prove the favourite dramatic temple of New York, and that all other theatres in the city would sink subordinate in comparison. I* was given the name of the New York j Theatre, Bowery, but on coming into the hands of new owners it was designated simply the Bowery Theatre. A little later the name was again chsnged to the American Theatre, but at the end of two years the better known name was again resumed, and it has been retained ever Bince.

Great Britain spends the enormous sum of £22,000,000 a year on the purchase of timber, the greater part of which has hitherto been obtained from Scandinavia, Austria, Canada, and the United States. As the supply from each of these countries has been declining of late, it is suggested (writes the Melbourne Age) that Australia, New Zealand, and other places within the ■ Empire might now be able to establish la sitisfactory permanent trade in timber with the English market. This, however, cou'd only be done by the development of scientific forestry, such as has been succeFsfully established in (India. Kussia, which is said to have vast timber resources, has decided to greatly improve the management of its forests with a view to supplying Great Britain. The Victorian Board of Health has refused to endorse a motion asking Ladies Hopytoun and Janet Clarke and the heads of the various Ladies' [Societies to use influence in doing away with trailing skiris in the interests of 'health.
