THERE’S A 
EFFECT OF EXCESSIVE DEFORESTA¬ 
TION. 
‘‘What has been the effect of the tremendous 
consumption of timber upon our forests?” This 
question is often asked by people in various sec¬ 
tions of the country, and often the information 
of the average man on the subject is not defi¬ 
nite enough to enable him to make a clear and 
satisfactory answer. R. S. Kellogg, assistant 
forester, engaged upon statistics in the United 
States Forest Service, in giving a concise answer 
to the important question, says: 
‘‘Now our annual requirements exceed forty 
billion feet of timber, one hundred million cross¬ 
ties, four million cords of pulp wood, besides 
great quantities of other forms of forest pro¬ 
ducts, such as firewood, posts, poles, mine tim¬ 
bers, etc. The per capita consumption of lum¬ 
ber in the United States was 215 board feet in 
1850; now it is 470 board feet. 
‘‘One forest region after another has been at¬ 
tacked. With the exception of Maine, the New 
England States are cutting mostly second or 
third growth timber. The box factories there 
take white pine saplings down to six inches in 
diameter. The so-called ‘‘inexhaustible” white 
pine forests of Michigan are gone and millions 
of acres of cut-over and burned-over land have 
gone upon the delinquent tax list. Michigan 
supplied 23 per cent, of the lumber production 
of the United States in 1880 and less than 5 
per cent, of it in 1907. . 
“The value of the lumber production in Michi¬ 
gan since 1849 has been 50 per cent, greater than 
the output of gold in California and it has all 
taken place without a thought for the future. 
The cream of our hardwoods is gone and it is 
becoming more and more difficult to get in suffi¬ 
cient quantity the high grades of oak, yellow 
poplar, ash and hickory that our great manu¬ 
facturing industries require. The South’s once 
great supply of yellow pine is rapidly giving 
way before axe and saw, fire and tornado. Half 
a generation more will, in most places, see little 
but remnants left of the Southern forests, and 
in that time the Pacific coast supplies will be 
heavily drawn upon. 
“Ours is primarily a wood-using civilization. 
Despite the introduction of substitutes for wood 
in the form of stone, cement, concrete and steel, 
our consumption of timber has constantly in¬ 
creased from the earliest days up to the present 
time. The prices of forest products have risen 
more rapidly than those of other commodities. 
According to the reports of the Bureau of Labor 
the quoted prices of the leading kinds of lumber 
on the New York market have risen twice as 
much in the last ten years as the average in¬ 
crease in all commodities. This indicates that 
the supply of timber is not keeping pace with 
the demand.” 
THE NEWER EDUCATION. 
In the issue of Harper’s Weekly for April 17, 
Henry Edward Rood describes the work of the 
Museum of Natural History in awakening the 
interest of school children in zoology and kin¬ 
dred sciences. The new plan, which has sup¬ 
planted the custom of mounting individual speci¬ 
mens in narrow cases, is to arrange' the animals 
in groups, as they would appear in their natural 
surroundings. So many questions were asked 
by visiting children that a public instructor was 
obtained b}'- Dr. Bumpus, the director, and 
classes are now brought to her for special in¬ 
struction. Another method adopted by the 
museum authorities has been to send cases con¬ 
taining specimens to the schools. The Chil¬ 
dren’s Museum in Brooklyn is another institu¬ 
tion popular among the young. During the year 
1908 more than .100,000 visitors were recorded, 
of whom four-fifths were children.- Educators 
in England and Germany have begun to advo¬ 
cate children’s museurns based upon the plan of 
the Brooklyn institution.
