Facts About Our Trees
.All our standing- t1mbr Is estimated to
semswhera betwn fourteen hundred
and two thousand billion feet. If we use
40,000.000,004 per annum we can run thirty
five to fifty years at the present rata,
provided we do not have anywaste. If
we use 100.000,000,000 per annum our timber
will last fourteen to twenty years on the
same basts. If we use 150,0u0.0o0,0u0 pr an
num in nine to thirteen years our timber
will all be g-onel We have now about 16a,
000,000 acres In our national reserves. If we.
had three times that much we should not
have enough.
If It costs twenty acres a Sunday, or
forty acres a week, or 2,080 acres a year
to print one dally newspaper, what does It
cost In acreage to print all tbe newspapers
In all the cities and towns of America T
Add to this the enormous editions of our
magazines. Add to this the paper used in
books. The total staggers the imagination,
and yet the amount of Umber cut for pulp
in the United States annually la less than
per cent of what Is cut for lumber. Last
year we made more than 18. 000.000, 000 'lead
pencils. A lead pencil Is not very lare.
but the total number of lead pencils re
quired T.SOO.000 cubic feet of cedar. We
have cedar enough to last us Just twelve
years.
More thea luo.000 acres of Umber, in the
whole United States, are cut over every
working day. We use many Umes more Um
ber per capita than any other nation. We
have left not over 460.000,000 acres bearing
commercial timber. Cast up In your mind
some of the small demands of industry
upon this supply. Our railroads are said
to use one-third of the industrial timber
cut for ties. Suppose we could cut 100 ties
to the acre; we should require 1.000,000
acres a year for ties. We annually reap for
telegraph and telephone poles somewhere
between 1.000,000 and 4,0fi0,0u0 sores of land.
Our tanneries two years ago required
1,370,000 cords ef bark. In the same year
we cut 11, 868,200 shingles and 1,812.1)07 lalhs.
Then we had to Umber our mines, and
for that we used ltt.SOO.OOO oublo feet, not
board measure, much of which was the
best of hardwood. Elmerson Hough in

Opening a World's Fair
(Continue from Page One.)
are also represented by villages ajad booths
besides their palaces of work and products.
Conveniently reached and yet quite apart
from what Is called the educational side
of the exhibition is the Court of Recrea
tion, where, the amusements which are in
separable from a world's fair-, are located.
To provide a great supply . of these novel
ties have been brought from all over the
world.
They include a rifle range, consisting of
a warship afloat, the motion of which It
reMjduces. .a scenic railway, the fllpflap,
which picks up passengers on one side ef
the grounds and releases them on the
-other; the wlgglewaggle, a kind of boat
which carries its patrons to a height, gives
thero a spin around in two directions and
then slides them, still in the boat, on a
sheet ef water. Switchbacks and toboggan
slides, one spiral and one circular, add to
the Coney Island element, while dancing
girls, trick performers, lion tamers, etc.,
will all have places In this "Midway Plals
ance." s
The Ughtlng is to be a feature of thee ex
hibition and daylight is to prevail on dark
est nights. Searchlights, Incandescent
lamps, electric torches and colored , lights
are in great numbers, while none of the
achievements of recent exhibitions, such as
electrically lighted waterfalls, fountains,
etc, will be missing. .
The managers of this exhibition of muHh
room growth announce that It la to open
positively on slay If. How that is to be
done remains a mystery in the minds of all
but Imre Klralfy and his assistants. To
the Bee correspondent Who ' visited tbe
grounds the other day It seemed mani
festly aa impossibility that anything ap
proaching completion should be reached
before July L But 11.00 men are now em
ployed, and their number Is being decreased
t.000 weekly. Day and night the work pro
ceeds. Fifteen million dollars will have been ex
pended on labor and materials when all is
accomplished and the goods exhibit will be
worth 60,000;000. All the buildings have
bean made absolutely fireproof.
Ail sonnected with the exhibition declare
that they are sure the total attendance will
be 30,000,000, which, of course, would break
the Chicago reoord of 28,000,000. The glory
of the entente cordiale is never to be for
gotten and the distinguished French visitors
are to be treated with the greatest cousid
eratlon and hospitality, while special trips
will be arranged for trades people from
France who wish to see this evidence of the
French-British alliance. 6ome 400 school
children are to come to England as guests
of the nation.
The exhibitor! and. Indeed, the exhibits,
are not yet actually on the grounds, but no
doubt there will be a brave show on the
opening day. No one ever expects world's
fairs to be really ready till almost the time
for them to close, so all duo allowance will
be made for this one's deficiencies In that
respect. And anyway Americans arriving
early in July will surely find at Shepherd's
Bush a display of the resources of twen
tieth century civilization such as not even
the most pretentious of nineteenth century
world's fairs was able to rival. .
J. Pierpoint Morgan, Poet
Certainly It seems that the old saying Is
true that the prophet Is not without honor
save In his own country. It has been dis
covered In London that the renowned cltl
sen of whom the United States is so proud
John I'lerpont Morgan Is, lu addition to his
other claims to greatness, a poet of first
milk. A popular London weekly M. A. P.
devoted aoiue space to Mr. Morgan's trans-'
lucent talents and Informs Its readers that
In his early Ufa he seriously contemplated
following the Muses as a profession and
that his verse shows marks of genius. It
Is not adduced that Mr. Morgan's verse has
ever been submitted to public gaze through
the agency of the printing press, and no
samples are given to subfttantiate the edi
tor's claim that the offerings are tho work
of a true artist. Mr. Morgan is lauded
wit second not even to Mark Twain,
and as evidence the following Joke 1m ap
pended: Mr. Morgan recently promenaded
the London streets with a handsome collie,
which, he said, bore the honored name of
"Rothschild." A friend asked him where
fore, and he replied because tho dog nas
never known to lost a (s)ceiit. And another,
Mr. Morgan recently walked for three suc
cessive days from his home to lps London
office with an empty bird cage In his hand.
On the third day his business manager ven
tured to ask the great chief why he car
ried the cage. Then Morgan gloomily re
plied that he had a wager with a Londoner
that he could carry the cage for a week
and that Ills employes were so well trained
that they would ask no questions. But
he had lost the wager and It niiitlit be the
manager would lobe his Job. This kind of
wit seems much more like the J. Plerpont
known to his associates on this side and
more in conformity with the poetic nature
for which he la noted in the domain of
Uncle Bam.

For a period of sixty-two days Mrs.
Charles Osborne of 1012 Boylston avenue,
Seattle, has not tasted food In any form
She declares that she f.-els but Utile effects
of her long fast, and Is eonflilent that she
will be able to continue to alMtatn from all
nourishment for at least eVenty-ftve days
If necessary.
Mrs. Osborne admits she Is not fasting
because she enjoys it, or to break any
records In the noneatlng line, but she says
she believes such a course Is going to cure
her of an ailment that for years has baf
fled physicians throughout the country.
Recent stories of a man In St. Paul dying
after a fast of thirty-one days, and of a
man In Is Angeles eating after he hail
not tasted food for forty-three days because
he ybecame frightened have no terrors for
Mrs. Osborne, and after reading the ac
counts of the'latter she laughed.
"I'm In this fast to kill or cure." she
said, "and I'm not going to quit till my
doctor says so. I could do Justice to s
big Juicy steak with French fried potatws
right now, but I can stick It out a little
longer, as the pangs of hunger are not
bothering me to any great entent.
Mrs. Osborne weighed ITS pounds when
she began hr fast and now she weighs 118.
Mrs. Osborne Is a patient of Dr. Linda
Uurfleld Hazzard.
"I have .been under Dr. Hazzard's care
for thrive mouths," said Mrs. Osborne.
"For three weeks I was placed on a spe
cial diet and gradually my food allowance
was cut down. Sixty-one days a?o I quit
eating entirely, and water, all I want to
drink, la the only substance I hat ha passed
my lips since.
"It was quite an effort to go without
food at first. I missed coffee at breakfast.
I have always been a hearty meat eatei
and for a few days I did not think I could
stand It, but I cuniu-red myself and by
the end of the first four weeks I felt better
than I had since I was a girl.
'I am beninniiig to feel the effects of the
long fast now, however. In .that I Bet tired
more easily than 1 did at first, but I con
tinue to perforin my own household duties,
and after preparing my husband's break
fast this morning I swept the floor.
"Ir. Hazzard tells me that I am about
normal weight row and as soon as he gets
me a few pounds below he will begin a
dieting course to build me up with good,
sound flesh."
"I don't know Just how long I shall keep
Mrs. OalHirne on the present treatment,"
said Dr. Hazzard. "I will break her fast
Just the minute I think the process of
elimination of Impurities has been accom
plished. It may be tomorrow and it may
be a week or two longer. .
"A great deal depends on the patient, the
temperament and will power. It Is no easy
matter to go so long without food, although
I maintain, and point to scores of patients
to prove my words,- that there la no oonger
in fasting." Seattle Tlinea,
