. Most Canadians believe that the
storehouse of timber trees .is the one
national possess.ion that Nature keeps
overstocked. We see trees along
e -very highway, we visit shady parks,
we hear of vast timber limits and
walk away with the impression that
no matter what else gives out, Canada
will al-wasts have an abundance of
forests and the consumer will never
want for his timber remeirernents.
This is the falsest and most dangerous
of all public notions.

Ontario, in 1920, had 748
sawmills cutting lumber, etc. ,
These mills prodimed 992,901,-

142,377. White pine, the old
stand-by of Ontario's forests,
and the highest in value per

206,000 hoard feet, 81 per cent.
of the entire Canadian cut of
this species, and valued at $24,-
444,777. Spruce was cut to the
extent of 108,766,000 board
feet, valued at $4,372,501, or
$40.2,0 Per thousand board feet.
Other important species cut
into lumber were: hemlock, 89,-

were also 222,734,000 lath and

Honey Bees Show Posses-

--Scientific interest has been aroused
over an incident in the Swiss canton
of Vaud which tends to demonstrate
that bees possess a sense unknown to
humans.
A farmer was taking a hundred
pounds of honey to market, when his
wagon overturned. In a few minutes
a number of bees were noticed in the
vicinity, and in a quarter of an hour
the sky was darkened by them. It
has since been learned ,tha't shnul-
taneously every hive in the canton
wai emptied.
A great number of people were
stung, and three children who were
riding on the wagon at the time of the
accident were reecued with difficulty
from the angry insects. ,
