to practical account on an extensive scale apiiears to be Colonel Ivanoff, 

 who obtained a concession from the Uusslan government and secured 

 the rights of the riparian owners for a distance of 450 miles along tho 

 Moksha. The wood is dark grey, bordering on black, as if it had been 

 impregnated with creosote ; hut the grain of the wood is distinctly visible,, 

 and there is no sign of either petrification or rot. The wood is apparently 

 quite fit for cabinet work, paneling, etc., and it is mainly to these pur- 

 poses that the directors of the company hope it will be devoted. It is sup- 

 iK'sed that the forest has lain under the water for at least 1,000 years, and 

 that the cause of the submersion was volcanic. One of the finest theaters 

 in Moscow has been finished with this oak, rubbed with goldleaf. 



Building Operations for February 



Iteturns of building operations for February in sixty cities, officially 

 received by the American Contractor, Chicago, reach a total of ^41,173,25.S, 

 as compared with a total of $41,128,190 in the same cities for February,- 

 l!'iy. The comparison shows a difference of only a small fraction of one 

 pel cent. Trade a year ago was regarded as active and the showing must 

 therefore be regarded as favorable. There are the usual fluctuations in 

 riift'ereut cities, thirty showing gains and thirty losses. Among the cities- 

 making the most favorable comparisons may be mentioned the following, 

 with their percentages of gains : Detroit, 92 ; Kansas City, 116 ; Manches- 

 ti r, 94; Duluth, 76; Xew Haven, 19T ; Peoria, 321; Pittsburg, 161; San 

 .Antonio. 354 ; San Francisco, 252 ; St. Paul, 70 ; South Bend, 411 ; Topeka, 

 b" ; Wilkes-Barre, 64. 



For two months the totals are $81,347,304, as compared with $80,646,849- 

 lor the corresponding period last year, a gain of one per cent. Details are 



African Mahogany Market 



The London Timber Xews in its issue of February 7 says that the out- 

 standing feature of the African mahogany market is the large quantity 

 that has gone into consumption during the past month. It was thought 

 that the larger imports would reduce prices considerably, but this did not 

 turn out to be the case, owing to the very strong demand that has been 

 experienced for home and foreign consumption. It is somewhat remark- 

 able that the large number of highly defective logs which have been re- 

 ceived from the west coast during the last two or three months have found 

 rr>ady buyers at corresponding prices in the home market. There is always 

 a demand here for mahogany that can be sold cheaply, irrespective of the 

 condition of the logs. Buyers of this class of wood came forward and prac- 

 tically cleared the market, and this left board logs a much better chance 

 of realizing their full value. Quite apart from the larger imports, the 

 demand for board and panel logs has improved considerably, so that for all
