The Cause Of PEairies.

In a recen. number Of Life Wusfrd
ted, over Ire signature Of bluff" in
notes and queries, occurs the following
question: "Whs, is the cause OF prairles
without timber, OF The best theory on the
subject" Having resided for q number
Of years in the prairie country OF the
West, the same inquiry has often arisen
in my mind, and I would here, lin an
rwer, state the conclusions TO which !
have arrived on the subject. seal
Ills an opinion held by many, that the
prairie region Of the West was once COW
cred BY the waters Of a grea, inland sea
o, lake, aud thai. in process Of time, by
geological causes. j. was elevated TO It's
presen, level. The theory is also sup
ported Sy the fact, that in many places
there have been found at valions depths
beneath the surface. remains o! different
kinds, gu, especially leaves Of trees, back
cinders, etc,
There appears to be two principle
causes Tor the existence Of prairies in
their present state. These are the close
sod Of the prairie grass, which tends TO
proven, the termination and growth OF
the seed Of trees; and The fires. which
in uninhabi.ed parts, so frequently weep
over the country end destroy the
Young trees which have succeeded in
establishing themselves in the soil.
These views are sustained BY various
reasons. The soil Of the woodlar DIS ,hai
skirt the prairies is mostly Of a different
qualify from tho p~rairies soil, and thus
more favorable 10 the growth of trees
than Of grass. Lying along the bluffs
which follow the course of streams, il is
more broken and billy. ]; 10 also of a
poorer quantity, being more exposed TO
the washing OF the rains. Agsin. where
the country lie settled, and the fires ex
claded, we frequently observe a thick
growth Of briers AMI hazel. These coon
choked out by the hardy plum and crab
apple. which latter in time give place to
the still more flourish,ng forest trees
Sometimes the brier or hazel compose
the suip mex, the open prairie: interior
oil this. and nearer .he timber, the plum,
black haw and crab-apple are found;
then come The young forest trees, and
finally the full grown timber. We have
seen quite extensive tracts undergoing
this process OF Transformations. The facts
here given are sufficient TO convince our
own mind, although we do not claim
that the opinions expressed would stand
the test OF a more scientific investiga
