Forests and Rainfalls.

The investigations of French natural
list have jut titled the scientific opinion
that there il an intimate relation be-
tween forests AMI rainfalls. He dis.
covered after four years observation
these facts, Rains are more frequent
over forests than over open ground.
especially when the trees are in leaf.
The mois ure of the air is greater over
forests thsu over open gr0und. The
leaves not only intercept from one
third to one-half the rainfall. but their
shelter so restraius evaporation that the
moisture of the earth is four times
greater iu forests than on open ground.
Pines and other reslnous woods are so
po werfui in attaching rainfall, that the
water collected above the pines, in q
year. was nearly two inches greater
than the water measured on surrounding
open grou,.d. These facts, which show
the great lnadeuce which forests have
in preventing and ameliOrating
droughts. may be supplemented by our
readers, If they will keep their eyes
open. A writer in the Boston Herald,
who aids the results of his personal
observation to those of the Frenchmsn,
says:
Visitors to the White Mountains can
hardly have failed to notice that in the
thickly wooded regions the brooks aud
springs run throughout protracted dry
spells while in the open tracts they soon
become dry. 'ti~ -
The prevention OF evaporation by
forests is largely due to the protection
from dry winds they s6Ird. A dry
wind has sponge like power Of absorb
ing moisture, whereas the direct action
of the sun on calm day has little IF
feet in comparison, only the immediate
atmosphere receiving moisture, and
then, being motiOnless,. acting like q
protecting blanket. s't2 30
Cities ANA towns should see that the
banks of their sources VI water sup
ply are we'll wooded, for the protection
from drying winds thus afforded
will save immense Quantities Of water.
The forest fires That annually Gevas.
tate hundreds Of square miles in this
country indict incalculable injury.
They are, for the most part, tue, result
OF carelessness and lack enforcement
of the laws. A little watchtulness
would prevent the most OF them. In
the great forests of Europe such calam-
tiles scarcely ever occur.

A case which has recently been de-
cided by the Tribunal Of the Seine is
worthy the attention of anybody about
to enter into the bonds Of holy matrimo-
NY with Ffenchman or French woman.
The French law takes no cognizance Of
marriage entered into by French
man or French woman in foreign coun-
tries unless it Is contracted according to
French rules As the latter are very in
tricate, and as it is perhaps too much to
ask an eager bridegroom or a
blushing bride to study the Code Napo-
leon, the only safe method is to be mar
ried at the French Consulate. In the
case alluded to the husband and wife
had been married in London four years
before, and several children we're born
Of the union. The marriage was con-
tracted in entire accordance with the
laws of England, but the French tribunal
held il to be null and void. The mar
riage law Of France is the direct out
come of the horror of mesailidnce
which was SO strong under the old re-
gime. and the new order Of things ought
TO bring a more cosmopolitan view into
favor.
