the great Temple Of Boro Buddor;

ha. The dome of this monument
is stated to have been crushed in by
falling rocks. The temple does not
stand on the side of mountain, but
on the top of hill, SO it could not
have resulted from masses of rock
rolling down upon it. The destruc.
uon must be ascribed to huge frag.
ments having been thrown into the
air and then descending with terrific
force.
BoRo BUDDoR.
Boro buddor is by far the largest
and greatest monument of the Budd.
hist religion in the East. The tenn
pie of Nakon Wat in Cambodis is the
only one that can be put in comparison
with 1T. The base is square, and each
side is about four hundred feet long.
The upper portion is circular and
about one hundred and fifty feet in
height; there is one central dome, and
there are seventy smaller ones. On
the terraces round it there are between
four and five hundred chapels, each
with statue of Buddha in it, seated
in the usual cross legged position.
The sides are covered all round with
bas-reliefs on each tarrace; one tar
race has 120 subjects, which embrace
the whole history of Buddha. The
temple is solid mass of masonry,
and is of the same kind as the Dago-
bas of Southern India or the Topes
Of the Northwest.
AN ORIENTAL WONDER.
The first notice of this temple was
given by Sir Stamfore Rafles, who at
;he time stated that "the interior of
Java contains temples that, as works
If art, dwarf to nothing all our won
Ter and admiration at the Pyramids
If Egypt" Miss North has lately
painted pictures of Boro Buddor on
he spot. About twenty miles south
'ast of Boro Buddor is place called
3rambanam. This is the site of the
Incient capital of Java, and there are
very large number of temples stand
ng which have more or less
Uttered from former earthquakes.
)ne of the celebrated groups at this
lace is known as the Chandi silva,
r the Thousand Temples" This is
lso said to have suffered. There is
volcano somewhere near to these
nd to Boro Buddor, called Mount
lerapia, which has probably been the
ctive agent in this case.

The Influence Of Forests Upon Rainfall.
Husbandman. Rlnira, New York

~~~NO--~"~' ~'>''
There is a good deal of crude
opinion about the influence of forests
on rainfall. The truth is we have too
little definite knowledge, hence this
crudity OF opinion on subject that
excites more and more attention.
Observations have not been made over
such extended periods of time as
must necessarily be required to esta-
blish the truth or falsity of the various
theories entertained concerning the
influence of trees upon rainfall. The
common assumption is that large
tracts of forests promote rainfall, and
there are many evidences that, in
greater or less degree, go to establish
the truth of this theory. But what
ever effect forests may have upon pre-
cipitation of moisture, there is one
known fact hardly less in Importance
than their assumed influence upon
rainfall. 1t is a fact that forests re-
tard the flow of water, and so extends
it over longer periods of time; thus
continuing sources from which,
through evaporation, rain sproduced.
This tends, indirectly to establish the
theory that trees really do increase
the rainfall. There can be no doubt
that they equalize it to some extent.
There are few neighborhoods in which
some old citizen can not report great
changes in the flow of water, since his
first observations were made. Streams
that fifty years ago furnished water
greater portion of the year, in amount
sufficient to turn water wheels and
supply power for mechanical uses are
now dry, except during the melting
OF SHOWS and a short period after, or
during times when heavy rains occur
in other portions of the year,
and this, too, in localities where con-
siderable areas of land were cleared a
half century or more ago. Taking
away the remnants, or detached forests
tracts, has wrought the change partly.
Another cause is the heavier char
acter Of lands kept in cultivation,
over which the water has unretarded
flow to natural channels. One result
of this change is enlarged area from
which evaporation can go on with "a
pidity, that is to say, supplies are soon
exhausted. Any acre Of land, long
used in cropping, holds but a small
proportion Of water, as compared with
another acre IN the same locality
covered with forests, except durIng
storms. and for q short time after
wards. The cultivated acre Is dned
ont by the rays Of the sun forcing out
moisture. But this cause does not
operate directly On the land covered
San Marcos free press. [volume] (San Marcos, Tex.) 1877-1892, 1883-10-04

by forests, where there is not only re.
tardation of flow, but also retarded
evaporation from the area in forests,
and to some extent, equalization of
moisture with reference to time as
compared with fields used for cultiva-
ton. The whole question is one that
deserves extended study. Observa-
tons should be made by men en-
ployep for that purpose. The Govern
ment is doing something in this direc-
ton, but much more remains to be
done. Forestry conventions exert
wholesome influence. By every avail
able means it is extremely desirable
that We gather greater store of facts
bearing upon this very important
matter.

Having lost three daughters by the
terrible disease, under the care OF
eminent physicians, I was 10th to
believe that anything could arrest
the progress of the disease, but, to
my great surprise, before my daugh-
ter had taken one bottle Of BRowN's

and now is quite restored to former
health. A fifth daughter began to
show signs Of Consumption, and
when the physician was consulted
he quickly said "Tonics were re-

the elder sister was taking BRowN's
IRON BITTRRs, responded "that is
a good tonic, take it."
