sin 1871 an Act was passed in the
Island OF St. Vincent TO appropriate Kings
Hill for preserving the timber and other
trees growing theron, in order to attract
rain for the benefit of the neighbourhood.
The Act is still in force, and the trees
have been of great benef: to the Estates
round Kings Hill. The hill was expressly
reserved by Her Majesty's Commissioner
for the sale and disposal of lands in the
ceded islands for the purpose of attract
ing rain. A penalty Of SEQ is imposed
on persons who may cut wood on il. We
sec. therefore, that even in a billy island
like St. Vincent. the older coloniSts valued
and recognized trees as q means Of ~increas-
ing the supply of rain"
The Melbourne Argus states that atten.
ton ia being drawn in different parts Of
Australia to the alterations which the eli.
mate is undergoing 10 consequence Of the
systematic %denudation of tree-covering
which the surface Of the country is being
subjected to. 1t is shown, for example,
that in the case of the Ballarat district, the
destruction Of the timber has been accom-
panied by q corresponding ~diminution of
The rainfall, and that since 1868 there has
been a more or less regular reduction
from 1927 in. in 1868 to II % in. in 1868.
During the frat seven months of The pre-
mt year (l669) and including TWO of the
ordinarily "%ettfst, the rainfall las been
only 1920. The Government OF Victoria
have appointed on Inspector Of State
forests, whose duty it will be 10 prcvcrt
The waste Of timber, AID the reckless
destruction OF live wood, and at the same
time to establish nurseries of forest trees

MIR STANLEY's AFRICAN MISSION.

AIr. II. NJ. S'NuIey's letter to tie Duily
Telegraph is published in that pnper on
Monday. Il is dated fem Ujiil Aug Z,
1876, aud the young explorer commences
1t with the announcement that Lake Tan.
qnnikh, despite lis extreme length, is to
be Gutj' ct 10 more to doubts aud %lanciful
hypothesis, for it has been ciICumravigat-
ed and measured by him, aud its enormous
coast line laid down and fixed as accurate
~ as q pretty good chronometer and solar
observations vii admit. Captain Burton's
discovery is now a completed whole, with
No. corner ir', finite, no indentatiOn I'M
known. Among many other interesting
discoveries, Mr.. Stanley has found Hat
Ubwari in the north Is 10 island, but a
peninsula enclosing a deep ard splendid
lay, which he has nam,d after Burton,
the distinguished explorer who with Spoke
fret saw and reported this African fresh
water sea. IL lighting upon the Lukuga,
Cameron really made q greater discovery
than he krew eff. According to NJ. Stan.
ley there was uEtil lately a ''Lukuga'
river, which ran with a feeble volume
from the Uguha hills into the lake. This
river brought down clay and silt, which,
meeting the debris washed 10 from the
lake, piled up q Mitvansi, or barrier of div
land, covered with trees, and admitting a
slight soak Of water when the southwest
wind blew, causing q current. Behind the
Mtwanss, on the other side of the narrow
watershed, q real stream. The Lulndi or
Luimbi, ran 10 The westward. That
neck Of land was never passed by water
from Tanganyika unit! a very short time
ago. The lake dfainage does but trickle
slowly even now through The rapyrus and
dead groves of the Mitwansi but in about
five years from the present date Mr.. Stan
ley believes Tanganyika will for the G5st
time be full 10 its brim, since it was exca-
waited by the volcanic disruption of the
great table land. What Cameron saw was
not the actual but the destined outlet of
that vast Inland sea, which, when it once
commences TO overflow, will create an
ef1uent worthy Of its volume. The 'waste-
pipe" Of Tanganyika has been laid ready
by nature-Mr. Stanley ssys-in the de-
preston between the Kikinga and Kiyauia
hills, which he believes marks the Origi.
