1t is reported that the fall al
an inch Of rain upon an acre
weighs over LOO tons. This fact
will serve to convey some idea
of the immense amount Of water
which is absorbed by the land
yearly. Usually there is about
thirty inches of rain aud melted
snow per year, which would be
over 1000 tons per acre. All
this. water CONTAINS amonia.
which is of most valuable fertil-
izer to promote the growth Of
crops. It is estimated that about
nine to twelve pounds Of nitro.
gen in the form Of amonia and
| nitric acid, are contained in the
water which falls upon each acre
Of surface yearly. Thus is the
land enriched by the rain anc
snow.

Our Vanishing Forests.

Tie American people boast Of their quick.
ness to profit by the logic OF events, but in re
spcct to many things in the line of the general
duty of society, they are as slow to learn as
was the ancient ruler of Egypt, who resisted
a number Of very convincing arguments with
which the Lord had Moses. There can be no
doubt, in the light Of events, that the greed of
man. and not the uukindness of nature, must
be held responsible tor the increasing frequen'
cy Of drouths IN this country. BY such an
extensive denudation of our forest lands as is
now being praCtlced, we are seriously disar-
ranging natures economy and interfering
with the conditions that are essential to her
healthy processes. 1t is a generally under
stood fact, upon which scientific men have
now no monopoly, that the increase OF drouth
is, in the long run, in direct ratio to the de-
struCtion of the forests and general tree supply.
A statstician, who claims TO have made accur-
ate calculation, declares that the pine forests
of Michigan will be exhausted III IL years,
and those of Wisconsin and Minnesota in 80
or 40 years There is little reason to doubt the
approximate accuracy of the estimate. Twenty
years ago this region had scarcely been touch.

Besides the educating influence of this method,
love for natural science is aroused in the
mind of the child, the benefit Of which is un-
told. \ child that loved nature possessed at
/ least one element of salvation, and an ini1u-
ence which would draw it nearer to good and
! To God. His plan was to teach the parts OF
| flowers, and when children required new
word 10 give it to them.
the best way to teach rcadlng and compo.
stloa-which was getting thought and giving
tnought-was by means of natural language.
! Prot. Parker claimed for this system that a
given result could be obtained by it with less
labor than by the old method. Indeed in the
school AZ Quincy he believed that they had &C
complished 100 per cent more actual work
than they could have done IN any other way.
This to some might sound like Boosting, but,
nevertheless, he was sincere in believing what
he had said. The spelling book appeared to
be an object of the tervent wrath of the Pro
tesSOr. During his remarks he referred to the
subject several times and finally, in reply to u
teacher who was anxious to know how he
should get rid IT. he said emphatically that
he would burn 1t. He admitted that be was
in favor of oral spelling as help, but relied
mainly on the pencil as means of attaining
photographed grace and perfection. His idea
appears to be to introduce oral spelling at
about the third year of instruction.
In the evening Mr. James H. Sladc, for
many years president of the Quincy board of
education, gave his views on this method. He
spoke particularly Of school boards II was
not always the teacher VINO was incompetent
and deficient Such defects rs now exist in
our school system were mainly due to the
neifiCiency and lnCapacity of school boards.
He called attention to the popularity of the
American people, who in choosing their pub
lie servants appeared to be governed by every
conceivable consideration under the sun except
that of fitness. He said he he'd derived the
experience upon which his observations were
based by seven years service as a member of
a school board, during which time he had
learned some things fairly well. He had made
of the system which had been explained by
Prof Parker a careful study and believed 1t
had accomp. lshcd the most satisfactory results
of all with which he was acquainted. Its
strength lay in It's thoroughness IN the Gle
mentary principles of education and in the
habits Of care and minute observation which
1t so firmly migrated upon the pupil He
hoped school boards, instead of being impedi-
ments to intelligent instruction, as they often
were, would some day realize the incompara.
