Almost Every Part of tin- Trco Is Now Used tor Some Purpose. Perhaps the meat interesting c!o- velopme-nt ia the manufacture of wood products has arisen in the in- creasing vark'ty of uses to which wood-waste can be put. Begir.aLng in the forest tho closer utilisation of the various weed-products can be traced through tho saw-mills and large weed-working industries, right down to the firms working only on small specialized lines. It is now commercially possible to reduce the ti'ty to sixty per cent. waste formerly left in the woods by the lunibonnen to five per cent, by three well-developed dustries, namely, wood-distillation (in no mora thau a combination, of chemical in- paper-making, a. modified Banana Omelet.

Practically all tho valu- able constituents from the- stumps, tops, branches a^xl defective stems which would otherwise be left to rot in the forest, are thus converted into useful commodities. The utilization of mill waste is being made increasingly pcsaiblo by the developing markets for odd aad short lengths in lumber instead of a few assorted sizes. Many saw-mills use their waste products iu the manufacture of laths, mouldings, pickets, roller-blinds and paving- blocks. The- manufacture of wood- pulp from tho small waste-wood now being fed to the burner is also a commercial possibility. Even ftw-duct has its uses, and in coun- tries where more intensive utiliza- tion prevails it is being successfully manufactured into a variety of pro- j ducts. Several plants have been erected ufacture hoi, sugar and briquets for fuel. The bulletin now being issued by the Forestry Branch, Ottawa, on KUED IN THE BALKAN MORTALITY OF BULGARIAN! WAS UNPRECEDENTED. Total Is Appalling Whoa the Mor- tality Auiong Allies la Added. A standing example of "how no4 to make war" is afforded by Bul- garia, says a military critic, who signs himself "Chasseur," in Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine. He is referring to the Lots of life revealed in the official returns re- cently issued at Sofia, showing that 330 officers and 29,711 men were. killed; 950 officers a-nd 62,550 men were wounded; 3,193 officers and men are missing. Of Bulgaria's population of 2,200,000, one male in every 25 must thus be dead, wound- ed, or missing. The same percen- tage of males in the United King- d m would be about 920,000; in the I r.itud States it would mount to 2,000,000. Speaking of Bulgaria's reckless valor and incautious expo- sure of her battalions, he cites the faite of two Sofia infantry regi- ments : Regiments Disappear. "These two units had comprised, during the original mobilization, almost the entire literati of the capital. The very architect respon- sible for tho incst modern of the buildings had marched away with a riile on his shoulder. Judges, mag- istrates, lawyers, actors, shop- keepers, seized in the great tenta- of stale bread, dip quickly in hot salted water and lay on a platter.
