Pya and Nga Po Lu all “lifers” under the charge of two military policemen with two rifles and 10C rounds of ammunition were sent In a forest boat to a small island in the Middle Andamans with seven days’ rations for each convict and the policemen On the island Rlssan reaching Singh Nga Naing Nga Pya and Nga Tun were set to work while the two ' policemen with Nga Po Lu and the Bengali went up hill in search of a is bird that “golden” highly prized in Port Blair and has a ready sale The policemen before leaving took off (the recaptured convicts state) their and laid bandoliers of cartridges them with the Rifles in the bottom of the boat which had been hauled up on the beach and made fast Po Lu who was the convict overseer professed to know where birds were to be found In plenty and led the policemen and the Bengali into dense underbrush then gave them the slip and made his way quickly back to the other men The men got the boat Into the water and raising the sail started in the direction of the Burma coast A strong wind almost a gale was blowing when they left the island but the boat which had both sail and and after Oars proved seaworthy seven days’ heavy weather they reached the Tenasserlm coast only to have the boat dashed to pieces on the rocks They managed to save what rations were left however before the mishap occurred which prevented their continuing further

storms and insects is some 20000000000 cubic feet” says R S Kellogg assistant forester In charge of the office of forest statistics in a publication just issued by the forest service on "The Timber Supply of the United States” "Our present forest area of acres may be roughly estimated to consist of 200000000 acres of mature forests In which the annual growth is balanced by death and decay of 250000000 acrespartially cut or burned over on which with reasonable care there is sufficient young growth to produce In the course of time a merchantable but not a full crop of timber and 100000000 acres of more severely-cu- t and burned-ove- r forests on which there is not sufficient young growth to produce another crop of much value “Taken as a whole the annual growth of our forests under these conditions does not exceed 12 cubic feet per acre a total of less than 7000000000 cubiT feet That Is we are cutting our forests three times as There Is fast as they are growing menace In the continuance of such While we might nver conditions reach absolute timber exhaustion the unrestricted exploitation of our forests in the past has already had serious effects and it vHll have much worse If it is allowed to continue unchecked which “White pine for Instance was once considered inexhaustible has fallen off 70 per cent In cut since 1890 and more than 45 per cent The cut of oak our most since 1900 valuable hardwood lumber has decreased 16 per cent since 1900 and that of yellow poplar 22 per cent The same story will be told of other woods if they are not conserved “The fact that timber has been cheap and abundant has made us careless of Its production and reckWe take 250 cubic less in its use feet of wood per capita annually from our forests while Germany uses only On 37
