Yearly Output Is Twenty Billion Cubic Feet at Present. We Are Cutting Our Timber Stipply Three Times as Fast as It Grows Exploitation Already Had Serious Effect. Washington. "Tho totnl yearly drain upon our forests, not counting losses from fires, storms, and Insects, la somo 20,000,000,000 cubic feet," says R. S. Kellogg, assistant forestor In charge of tho ofllco of forest sta tistics, in a publication just Issued by tho forest servico on "The Timber Supply of tho United States." "Our nresent foreRt area of GGO.- 060,000 acres may bo roughly estimat ed to consist of 200,000,000 acres of maturo forests, In which tho annual growth is balanced by death and de cay, of 2G0.000.00Q acres partially cut or burned over, on which, with rea sonable care, there Is sufficient young growth to produco In tho course of tlmo a merchantable, but not a full crop of timber, and 100,000,000 ncres of moro severely-cut and burned-over forests, on which there Is not suffi cient young growth to produco an other crop of much value. "Taken as a whole, tho annual growth of our forests under these conditions does not exceed 12 cubic feet per ncre, a total of less than 7,000,000,000 cubic feet. Thnt Is, wo aro cutting our forests threo times as fast as they aro growing. Thero Is menace in the continuance of such conditions. While wo might never reach nbsoluto timber exhaustion, the unrestricted exploitation of our for ests In the past has already had seri ous effects, and It will hnvo much worso if it is allowed to contlnuo un checked. "White pine, for Instance, which was once considered inexhaustible has fallen off 70 per cent. In cut since 1890, and moro than 45 per cent. since 1900. Tho cut of oak, our most valuable hardwood lumber, has de creased 1C per cent, since 1900, nnd that of yellow poplar 22 per cent. Tho samo story will bo told of other woods if thoy nre not conserved. "Tho fact that tlmbor has been cheap nnd abundant has mado us careless of its production nnd reck less In Ita use. Wo take 250 cubic feet of wood per capita annually from j our forests, while Germany uses only 37 cubic feet, and Franco but 2G. On tho other hand, Germany, who has earned her leeson, makes her state fOMSts produco an averagoof 48 cubic foist of wood per aero. Wo have as fast-growing species as Germany, or fuster, and as good or better forest noil If wo protect ii. 'Tho necessity for more farm land may eventually reduco or total for est area to 100,000,000 acres less thnn It is at pvesent. It Is entirely possible, however, to produco on 450.- 000,000 ncrea as much wood as n population much greater than wo have now will really need If all the -forest land Is brought to Its highest producing capacity, and If the prod uct is economically and completely utilized. Hut to reach tho necessary condition of equilibrium between tim ber production and consumption will tako many years of vigorous effort by Individual forest owners, by the states, and by tho national govern ment None of them can solve tho problem alone; all must work to gether."

Biggest Snake North Carolina Farmer Tells of Bat tle Between Klngsnake and Rat tler Former Is Victor. Wadcsboro, N. C While In Wades boro a few days ago J. Frank Han dall of Ansonvitle township gave a graphic description of a light ho saw a day beforo botweon a klngsnnko and a big rattler. Tho rattlesnake was considerably larger than the klng snnko, and to look at them ono would not think It possible for tho smaller reptile to swallow tho largor one, but this. Mr. Randall Btates, Is Just what occurred. Tho fight, which took place In tho road near Mr. Itandnirs home, was witnessed by all tho members ot his family as well ns himself. After tho battlo had been In progress somo tlmo tho klngsnnko managed to tlo himself around tho body of tho rattler about ton Inches from tho latter's head. The rattler, aftor this feat had been accomplished, made sovoral attempts to strike his antagonist, but without success. Tho klngsnnko slowly worked Its wny up tho body of tho nit tier until suddenly it opened wldo Its mouth and swallowed the. head of tho rattler. Just as tho swallowing feat was nccompllshod tho klngsnnko squeezed its prey until, Mr. Randall said, Its bones could bo heard to crack for somo distance. Tho klng snnko then untied Itself from tho rat ESCAPEJH 1st Convicts on Siamese Border Gain Temporary Freedom.

Tho policemen, beforo leaving, took ofT (tho recaptured convicts stato) tholr bandoliers of cartridges and laid thorn with tho rlflos In tho bottom ot tho boat, which had been limited up on the beach and made fast. Po Lu, who was tho convict overseer, pro fessed to know whero birds wero to be found In plenty, and led tho police men nnd tho Hcngall Into donso tin derbrush, then gnvo them tho slip, nnd mnde his way quickly back to tho other men. Tho mon got the boat Into tho wa ter nnd raising .tho nail started in the direction of the Uurma const A strong wind, nlraost a gale, was blow lug whon they left the Island, but the boat, which had both nail and oars, proved seaworthy, and nfter seven tlnys' henvy weather thoy reached tho Tonasserlm const only to hnvo the boat dashed to pieces on tho rocks.
