Forests Protect from Heat and
Cold.

From the st. Louis Republican.
A barren country is exposed to sudden
changes of temperature and to fluct,la-
tons of drouth and delugc. Forests arc
protection against both. Trees shelter
the earth from both wind and sun, and
in this way graduate radiation and evap-
Grafton, which are important agencies in
the production of rain, preventing i'll
measure severe changes of temperature
and violent rainfalls, and making both
the temperature ana the rainfalls more
eQuablc and benign. 1t is said that the
vital processes ever going on i'll trees
generate certain degree of heat, and in
forests this heat is sufficient to pcrccpti-
bly, temper the air III winter. It's warm
err in forest than on the plain in winter,
even when there is no wind; and even
animals know how grateful it is to seek
the shelter of a thick forest from the
piercing blasts that blow unobstructed
over prairie. The value of this fact is
perceptible even in small examples.
Grapes exposed to the sun will not ripen
nor reach their full growth; but grapes
completely sheltered by abundant foil
the sun attain their largest size and their
greatest sweetness. A small clump of
trees on prairie is Il hiding place for
cattle, both in summer and winter.
Every Observant farmer understands the
advantage of a row of eyergreens O.
shrubbery as a wind break for anima4o.
and even the shade ola single tree il,a
summer is sometimes inexpressihse
pleasant. Tree-planting ought to come
into use in the west, particularly in the
praire regions, as = perpetual habit.
Every town and village ought to be
sheltered by hand planted forrest
every farm house ought to be elnbeW-
cred in trees; and every highway md
lane ought to run between rows 81 the
noble shade-trees of various kinsss that

cutiOn.
New Haven Special to Chicago Times:
When court adjourned tonight until Tues
day next, State Attorney Doolittle notified
his defense that his case was practically
closed, and said that he would only take a
mony is virtually all in. All that has been
proved so far is that enough arsenic was
found in Jennie Cramcr's body to admit the
inference of fatal dose; that she was raped
a few hours or days before death; that James
Malley was with her at sometime Friday
night at the West Haven shore, although
the conflict of testimony prevents certainty
about the exact hour; that Walter
Malley brought the Douglas woman here
from New York and had her introduced to
Jennie Cramer, that the four rode together,
night together Wednesday, August 5, at the
Edward Malley mansion; that when the
body of Jennie Cramer was found, James
first denied that he knew her, and tried to
suppress the publication of the letters which
showed how the Malleys and Blanche con-
tinually solicited Jennie to associate with
them; that when Jennie disapl ii on
Thursday, Aug. 4, the Malleys were greatly
alarmed, and Walter started to bring her
back, if she had visited New York, before
she could tell her brother what had hap
promised Jennic's mother OH Thursday,
after the quarrel between mother
and daughter, that he would bring Jennie
home if he could find her; that he did not
do this, but took her to Savin Rock the
next evening, and was with. her for a long
time the next day (Friday); that Walter NAL
ley was chemist and must have known the
proportion of arsenic and how to administer
it; that several months before the tragedy he
bought the unusually large quantity of four
ounces of arsenic, and might have had
enough left; that he also bong Int what might
be used as All ingredient of Fowler's solu-
ton; that there was connivance between
Blanche Douglas and the two Malleys
to deceive the coroner and other
authorities as to how Jennie Cra-
ner associated with them, as manifested by
the tell-tale CASTOR ockct-handkcrdhief, and
the manufactured and concentrated stories
Of which the handkerchief was an agent;
that Jennie Craner's remains were in such
sible. The motive is shown only inferential-
ly by the pursuit of Jennie Thursday, and
for the constant companionship of Jennie
and James on Friday and Friday evening,
when it was presumed by the state Jennie
was importuning james to do her justice,
until he wearied Of it or grew frightened
and murdered her. The main part
of the defense is Of course an alibi.
The proposition made to rest the
case without evidence is considered by the
state as bluff One of Blanche's lawyers
said this evening III all interview: 1.-THE
Malleys want us to join wholly with them,
but We don't know what to do. We will
meet and try to make all arrangement. AS
it stands now, I am free to saw in confidence.
