At the present rate of the manufac the ture of spools and other articles of women’s use, the immense white birch forests of Maine cannot last many vears. Although the birch forests are extensive, the fact that 17 spool mills and a large number of so-called novel ty mills are eating up the timber ai a rate of from 35,000,000 to 40,000,009 feet annually excites the apprehensior of foresters and manufacturers. The spool mills use about 30 cords of birch annually, turning out 800,000,000 Each spool is large enough to carry 200 yards of thread. The amount oi thread that could be wound upon these spools would reach 3600 times around the equator and leave a little for mend. ing. About as much spool wood is sent to Europe every year as is man: ufactured into spools in Maine. Lasi year Maine exported about 15,000,00¢ feet of spool bars, chiefly to Scotland and of this quantity about one-half was shipped to Bangor. Several million feet of spool bars are also shipped te other parts of the United States, where there are spool mills, notably those ‘of Rhode Island.
