INTERNATIONAL FORESTRY EXHIBITION. 87 
honse fittings, and other manufactured wooden goods, showed what 
these northern regions can do in supplying other countries with 
these useful articles. Nor must mention be omitted of a capital 
model of a raft, with a series of illustrations of the method of 
transporting timber, by both land and water, from the forests in 
Norway to the seaports; and also of fine samples of forest tree 
seeds and vigorous hardy-looking plants of forest trees. 
Wood-Paper Exhibits. 
Chiefly to Continental, but also to a few British exhibitors, 
the Exhibition was indebted for the finest display of wood 
paper-making material, and its various processes of manufacture, 
that has ever been seen. The wood-paper exhibits occupied 
a considerable space in the central portion of the grand gallery, 
and formed an object of much interest and attraction to visitors, 
the process being as yet a novelty in this country. The results of 
several methods of manufacturing the pulp were shown in detail, 
and also the various descriptions of paper made therefrom. The 
wood of the Norway spruce is that chiefly used, although paper 
can be made easily from any soft wood. 
Loan Collections. 
There was much of an interesting and instructive nature to the 
practical forester in the numerous Loan Collections which occupied 
such a large extent of space in the Exhibition, but mention can 
only be made here of a very few of the most notable. Professor 
C. V. Riely, of the United States Agricultural Department, ex- 
hibited a number of large cases of insects injurious to forest trees, 
which, though they had been somewhat roughly used in the 
transit, were perfectly illustrative of the subject, and showed 
remarkable skill and neatness in preserving and mounting the 
specimens. He also sent copies of his valuable works on the 
Entomology of the United States, and of his Entomological 
Reports to the Agricultural Department, all of which give a 
singularly clear exposition of the life-history of the insect pests of 
the States, and the best methods of dealing with them.
