The DESTRUCTION or FoRESTS.-A writer who
has been making study OF forest trees their
TaPld obstruction III this country. and their eff
1eCt on Climate and health, says that since 1Ssj
me forest area OF the Western Hemisphere has
decreased at the yearly average rate or $500 001
acres or about lI,0o0 square miles, and that
ibis rate IN the United States alone has adj
NaEced from 1000 square miles in 1876 TO 1000 In
lo55 and S,i00 in 1876, while the last TWO wears
nave scarcely been less exhaustive. Statistics
Tor 81 years previous to 1885 show that we have
been wasting the supply OF moisture to Ameri-
can soil at the average rate OF per cent. for
each quarter OF a century during the last lg5
Years. and that we are now approaching the
limit beyond which any further decrease viii
materially influence the climate OF the entire
continent. Many Eastern regions, such as Al
ghanlStan, Persia, India and Asia Minor once
possessed OF fine climate and abundant har-
vests are now often Sc0urged by peSiilence and
famine, and 1t is altogether probable that their
MlatortuEeS began with the disappearance OF
their native forests. Ii Is quite likely that we
shall suffer in climate, fertility anG health be-
lore great While if we continue to destroy our
trees as recklesSly rs we have done. and Ii be-
hooVeS us to be warned in time What has
happened elsewhere may certainly happen here
Indeed, there is great danger OF it, for we know
by experience That fertile lands have grown
Sterile by loss OF trees and that sterile lands
nave IN turn become fertile by systematic
planting. \ certain proportion OF well-wooded
as wei as OF arabic and pasture land is essen

Planting be adopted as a set of 10 the excessive
