Attention has long been given to devils
ing means TO limit the ravages ofthese tor
rents, which ruin the land, threaten es-
tates. destoy roads, and sometimes even
compromise the existence al villages. Walls
have been built along the banks TO protect
them, or across the streams TO sllay the
force Of the waters. The most efiicscious
means however, as yet discovered. has been
to maintain the woods on the slopes Of the
mountain. The effect Of cutting away the
trees in promoting the formation OF tor
rents has not been doubted by the inhabi-
tants of mountainous regions. and is clear
ly set forth by NJ. Surrell, who says:
"When we examine the tracts IN the midst
of which torrents OF recent origin have
been formed, we perceive that they have
in all cases been despoiled Of their trees
and bushes. II, on the other hsed, wo ex-
anime hills whose sides have been recent
ly stripped of wood, we observe that they
are cut up by numerous torrents. which
have evidently been formed very lately.
Here is remarkable double fact: where
ever there ore recent torrents there are no
longer forests, and wherever the ground is
cleared these torrents are formed; the same
eyes that see the woods fall on the declivi-
iy Of mountain may SEQ appsar there inn
mediately multitude Of torrents"
The DISASTROUS consequences Of remov.
ing the woods from the Alps began 70 at
tract attention in the last century and have
since been discussed in many publications
and official reports. In 1858 the perfect
Of the department Of the Lower Alps said
in report to the minister: III prompt
and energetic measures are not taken, it
will be almost possible to designate the
precise moment when the French Alps will
become desert. The period from 1881 10
1853 will produce new diminution in the
number Of the population. In 1862 the
minister will remark continuous and pro-
gressive reduction in tho number Of hec-
tares devoted to agriculture; each year will
aggravate the evil. and in half century
France will count more ruins end one de-
partment less. The departments OF the
Upper and Lower Alps actually lost &c, 900
or one ninth Of their popula-
ton between 1851 and 1876. A law for
recovering the mountains with wood,
which has been prepared by II. FORBADE
de Bouquet. director general OF the admin
Of the forests. Was adopted by the
legislative bodies in 1860, and WAS put in
operation shortly sfterwsrd.

SUPERIORITY OF NEW ORLEANS AS
THE aRAIN-sHIPPING PORT.
From the n. O. pem.cr.t, May LIST.

From the n. O. Democrat, May 1st.l
No other shipping port of the
United States offers the facility of
receiving 1,5OO tons of wheat Or corn
from the original one barge in which
it was loaded, and transferring same
directly into the steamer to
carry it to Europe. The thorough
inspection here Of grain, in a large,
cemmodious barge, OH arrival and
during the whole course of transfer,
is facilitated more than in the Allan
tic cities, as the grain arrives there
in cars or in small canal barges, and
is transferred into elevators, where
afterward the different car or barge
lots are mixed, according to grades,
and delivered to vessels direct, or to
other barges to be conveyed along
side of vessels.
From points along the banks of tho
rivers and streams the grain-is now
being loaded into. barges which come
direct to New Orleans, without re-
curing to pass through the station.
ary elevator at st. Louis; IN some in.
stances the Missouri and other barges
are email; their cargoes are then
transferred sby floating elevators
direct into other and larges barges.
With good, powerful tow -boats
there will be no difficult in bringing
down at one time 5000 tons-equal
to eight barges-with capacity in all
for 500, 600 bushels, which at 8 cents,
would, pay a tow $4,000 net profit
as now there being plenty Of return
freight this latter is sufficient to
cover all the expenses of the round
trip, which occupies about twenty
five days. aud will before long be
performed in twenty days.
It is naturalto suppose that, while
the barge Hines leGve such profitable
results, the number will be increased
as fast as builders can complete their
constructions. Later on they will be
built of steel to enable larger loads
to be carried on a smallef draft Of
water, as the tendency of the age is
for increasing capacity.
Chicago will before long, in Its "
interest, make arrangements for the
conveyance of its grain to seme point
for barge shipments to New Orleans,
as it will be q moro reliable outlet
during the whole of the year. The
railroads TO the east make no profit
on the grain they carry, therefore it
will be no loss to them.
The Welland canal route will not
offer much competition with tine
Mississippi highway as during several
months of the year it will not be in
any way available m account Of ice
in the canal and in the st. Lawrence
river.
The attempts to turn grain exports
from the cheapest route to others that
may be forced channels can only be
Of limited duration, and effected at q
very considerable cost.
20 meet the requirements of the
growing trade we require q good
stationary elevator and two more
floating ones. Even at the present
moment vessels are delayed with the
gram here for want of means OF
transferring same to shipboard.
This ought to be attended to at once.
