JOURNAL OF FORESTRY 



Based upon the detail reports on wood-work- 



Woods Used ing industries in the various States, J. C. Nellis, 



in formerly a forest examiner in the U. S. Forest 



Manufactures Service, compiled an extensive table, giving the 



amounts of wood of various species used in the 



53 cited manufactures of wood products. These do not include lath, 



shingles, cooperage, veneer, pulp distillation, poles, and ties. 



We consider it worth while to enumerate the totals for each species,, 

 as this gives an indication of their relative need in wood-working in- 

 dustries :

Creosote-coal Tar 



on 



Paving Blocks 



During the past few years there has been much 

 discussion concerning the advisability of using a 

 mixture or "solution" of coal tar and creosote in 

 the treatment of paving blocks. The use of the 

 mixture has been championed by Dr. Hermann 

 von Schrenk, while P. C. Reilly, who is at the head of a large creosot- 

 ing company at Indianapolis, Indiana, iias been equally active in con- 

 demning the use of other than pure creosotes containing a large per- 

 centage of the higher boiling fractions. Reilly cites the experience of 

 the city of Indianapolis with a pavement laid in 1909 on Washington.
