WASHINGTON, July 31. Two hundred and flfty-one pulp mills In the United Status used 3,346, IOC cords of wood, and made 2,118,947 tons of pulp last year. Spruce has always been the leading pulp wood, and It furnished sixty-four per cent of the total quantity used. The rapid development of tho wood-pulp Industry in the last ten years has rendered the domestic supply of spruce Insufficient to meet the de mands upon It, and consequently importations from Canada have been heavy. In 190S our pulp mills consumed nearly one and one-half million cords of domestic spruce, and over 870,000 cords of import ed spruce .making the Imports of spruce forty-five per cent of the domestic supply. Next to spruce, the most impor tant pulp wood is hemlock; 509,173 cords of it were converted into pulp last year. All the hemlock used was of domestic origin, and most of It was produced in the Lake States and Pennsylvania. Although now msed in less quantity than spruce and hemlock, poplar has long been a standard pulp wood. A small quantity of poplar Is Imported, but by far the larger portion of the mbre than 300,000 cords used last year was cut from domestic timber. Spruce, hemlock, and poplar made -up ninety per cent of the total quan tity of pulp wood used. The remain der w"as supplied by many species, the most important of which were pine, cottonwood, and balsam. . The wood used by the pulp mills last year c03t them a little more than $28,000,000, oVan average of $8.38 per cord, against an average of ?8.21 In 1907. The most costly wood used was Imported spruce, with an average value of" $10.00 per cord. Tho average for domestic spruce was $8.7G per cord and for poplar, $8.04 per cord. The cheap est wood which was used In large quantity was hemlock, the cost being ?G.02 per cord. Owing to the un certain business condition the total consumption of ,pulp wood in 1908 was nearly 10 per cent less than in 1907, but this did not prevent a considerable increase In tho price of wood. Tho high price of wood Is making the manufacturers be con stantly on tho lookout for cheaper raw material, and one of the most encouraging developments has been the increased use of slab wood and other sawmill waste. This drift In the Industry Is clearly Indicated by tho fact that 193,234 cords of mill waste were reported as consumed in pulp manufacture during 1907, while' 252,890 cords, an Increase of thirty per cent, wero used In 190S. These statements are based upon a preliminary report of the con sumption of pulp wood In tho Unit ed States in 1908 just issued by the Bureau of tho Census. Tho Bureau of the Census and tho Forest Service cooperate in the collection of annual statistics of forest products, and this preliminary report will soon be followed by a bulletin, which will give detailed Information upon tho uso of pulp wood last year in the various states, tho cost per cord, tho amount reduced by tho mechanical, sulphite, and soda processes, and other facts of interest to the indus try.

Miser liness that seoms Impossible 'char ged against E. Lee Douglass an "At lanta business man worth $500,000, lr a suit for divorce filed by hU wlfo, Mrs. Emma Neal Douglass. Mrs. Douglass Is a daughter of the late T. B. Neal, one of Atlanta's wealthiest men, and is worth $300, 000 in her own right. Tho couple wore married In 1S92 and Mrs. Douglas charges that her husband's snvlng began even in the honeymoon. He began at once charging her for every meal she ate and forced her to settle every month. Mrs. Douglass says, for Instance, that Douglass never tipped waiters or porters and that she had to do It out of her own means; that he re quired her to pay tho extra expense of any guest she might have; that his written consent hnd to bo obtain ed beforo such guests wero invited; that ho complained If the servants got anything to eat but bread; that he would havo only one light in the house at night; that ho got a profit of $5,000 a year from tho manage ment of her estate and wanted a salary besides, and so on. Attached to tho petition is a copy of a remarkable document which Douglass wanted his wife to sign, to regulato their lives. One term of the agreement was that if they should quarrel tho party who apologized should mako a pub lic or private apology and submit to being kissed 100 times. Mrs. Dou glas says her husband actually en forced tho penalty of 100 kisses against her onco and mado her sick. Another clnuso of tho agreomont declares: "Tho enemies of the one shall bo treated ns tho enemies of the other, and the friends likewise as friends of both." She was never strong, sho says, and her husband's conduct broko down her health until "he became a nightmare, a horrible spectre." Preliminary work for tho construc tion of India's largo now steel plant, near Knllmntl station, is making good headway. Tho plant on the Hnmraua manganese property has proved to be of the highest valuo. A forty-flvo milo railway is already un der construction. Concrete Itself Is very old. Tho concrete stairs ot Colchester and Itochestor onstles still show tho marks of tho incasing boards; tho dome of Agrippa's Pantheon, which Is 142 feet III dlamotor, is of con crete, and fragments of concrete buildings are found in Mexico and Peru.
