TOrnadOeS and Forests.

1t is ABOUT thirteen years since fear
full tornado rushed from the prairies of
the Far West and took our city in its
path. The visitation was not one that
anybody wanted to see repeated. Our
streets were filled with fragments of
trees and with bricks from overturned
chimneys. The roof of the then new
Commercial office flew against the
western corni1e of the building Mt the
southwestern corner of Fourth and Vine
streets, and left n dent to mark the col
lision. Worst of all, several persons
were killed in and about the city. Cincin-
natl is not rs exposed to such disasters
as many other places. Her rampant of
hills il great protection, of which the
suburbs do nat enjoy the benefit. But
the most elevated districts of Southern
Ohio are freer from danger than the
treeless and hilless States further West.
A few acres of forests would do more to
protect the jewellers on the prairies than
that could be devised. 1t is
true that tornado will cut through
wood, but if it is met with many such
its pathway would be impeded,
its speed and violence abated, and its
track shortened. Tree-planting organi-
cations are forming in some sections,
and their increase is urgently required.
Central Iowa has had lesson which
should not pass unimproved. In North
western Iowa the railroads carry trees
gratis for all who will plant them, and
similar encouragement should be given
The destruction of forests
is not only to be deprecated in view of
but it has injurious effects
upon the rainfall and the climate of the
regions. A check ought
IN some way to be put to the waste of
wood, and States might well have spe-
,ial commissioners of forests. The
subject has received increased attention
If late, and we hope it may excite
more general interest. o. Cincinnati Ga
