The Future OF Our Forests.

There IS a great deal of talk about the
changes OF climate going on IN Europe and
America as the result of the continual
clearing of OF forests, and the figures we
often see would seem to support this view:
but now and then there seem to be figures
on the other side which 90 to tell another
story, and the simple iooker-on does not
know what to believe; and it generally
does result IN persons having no belief at
all. They do not know whether the forest
area is decreasing, or whe her the climate il
or Is not undergoing change When we
remember that there is considerable
amount of planting going on In every State
some millions for fruit, millions more for
shelter and ornanant, and still more mill
lions for timber alone, We ought not to be
50 badly off. The forest fires destroy large
quantities yearly; but these tracks burned
over generally produce new growth and
the young trees are coming On for the fu-
ture in many cases as truly as if the you.p
trees were planted. 1t is very ofteu the
case when the trees are cut away for tim
Der, the land Is not therefore cleared of
wood; it grows again and in time comes
IN, This is the case with numerous Penn
sylyania woods. We know of some that
have been cut twice since the settlement
of the State, and the third crop Is now be
ing cut for many useful purposes.
The greatest dlminuticn is going in for
eetlands out OF the way Of settlements, and
where perhaps trees would be of lite
value fox very many years, and perhaps be
On the road to decay before they come into
profit. Here it Is manlfestly for the bene-
fit of the settler and of the country that
the woods should be cleared entirely of
for grain culture, leaving only enough, as
is generally done, for the wantsof the next
wenty years or 50.
On the whole We doubt whether there is |
50 much room for anxiety as SO many not |
we'll acquainted with the facts evincc. We |
are not doing 50 well at replaniing as we
might: but We are yet doing pretty we'll,
and with the stimulus and encouragement,
OF societies, which give sound information
md wise advice-which are 30 careful OF
lacts that the world learns TO rely on them
and follow where they lead1~e hardly ex-
pec' that We shall realize the prophecy Of

centre OF the coach, .in which case theirs Is
more jolting.
The interior of the compartment follows
as nearly as may be, the same model of an
old-iashioned stage coach, The first-class
compartments are we'll upholstered with
carriage eloth. Sometimes anti-maca,-
ears add to the tidy appearance of the fur

the seats, and shelves extend across, near

hangs from the center, Is comlcal glass

the coach. The wick of the lamp is two
inches wide and the Oil is ted to it through

from the top of the car.
The compartment is Ia size some six
feet by i've, with seats extending across
and accommodating eight passenger, who
sit, four upon side, facing each other.
In America railroad travellers insist npoo
being seated so as to look forward. In Eu-
rope at least half of the passenger list must
ride backward. In fact the preference is
to ride in that way. There are advanta-
