THE influence of forests in drawing
moisture from the heavens may be judged
from the experience of San Diego, Califor-
MIA. Previous to 1868 there was yearly
a rainy season, which made the soil
nourishing and productive. In 1868 a
destructive fire swept over the greater part
of the country, cutting down the luxuri
ami chapparel, and blackening the hills
Since then there has been no rainy season
at San Diego.
