DO FORESTS BRING RAIN

DO XfO1&GS4S R4AAtN VI 1@1A4N
 There is just now much discussion of the question whether or mot forests influence rainfall Many believe that they do, and that if there were more trees there would be less drought.
 General Cassius M. Clay of Whitehall. Kentucky, is one of those who believe that trees influence rainfall, and in a letter te the New York Sun he supports his belief in an interesting way. He says: The clouds bear ing rain to all this Kentucky lowland come from the Gulf of Mexico. Here have lived long life-you may say near three genera tions of mans usual years. That great dis turbances of the original distribution of rain in time and place have occurred is indisputa- ble. In early years we planted Indian corn from the first of April to the first of July, and the loss of crop for want of rain was unheard of. Nov, unless crop is pitched at the earliest opportunity, it is mostly lost in four years out of five. What is the req son? The waters flowing off from a surface all around fields once bordered by forests and leaf mould are not utilized by silent evapora- tion, as once was the case and for months the rain does not fall at all, and every year it becomes more partial.
 General Clay attempts to show how forests cause rainfall. First, he says, they keep up cold currents are passing they delay them till the rain clouds come on, and are thus pre- cipitated. Again, the trees produce eddies in the wind currents and the two currents of air, meeting, remain for days in stationary struggles. the rain falling in increased quan- tity till they are neutralized. While denuded plains may have both currents skimming with no rain, or with partial showers of short duration, the greatest part go on to the region of forests and high attitudes.
 This is ingenious and may be true. But, as the Sun points out in commenting upon General Clay's assertions: The influences which affect local precipitation of moisture are exceedingly compiler and in the present state of knowledge upon the subject they cannot be satisfactorily formulated. The forest checks rapid evaporation; but it is extremely doubtful if the temperature is suf- iciently lowered by any forest to compel greater precipitation than a treeless region equally favorably situated in relation to great natural reservoirs of moisture would receive. The rain falling on certain portions of the H. linois prairies equals in amount and regular ity that enjoyed by the adjacent portions of forest t-covered Indiana. The early chronicles of the Plymouth colony, written at a time when the whole Eastern country was covered with an unbroken forest, record thoughts as severe and destructive as those which now parch New England agriculture. The ob- servations which have been made during the last fifty years in southern New England, where ..the removal of the forest has been more general than in any other part of the country, show no average decrease of rain fall

A Horrible Tale of Bury1ng Alive.


 A Swiss, settled in Russia sends to the BUnd a strange story, taken from the Vied- Ona0stt, 8 paper published at Samara, of 8 man being buried alive, for the accuracy of which the writer says that he can personally vouch. The story, besides the horror of it, shows how helpless the Russian system of government renders the people for whose benefit it is designed, and how utterly bureaucracy has crushed in them all spirit of initiative and independence. The other day, so runs the account, man was buried alive in Samara. His name was Tichonoff. and he had been employed as writer in machine depot. On the fete day Tichonoff drank heavily and had an epileptic fit. For long time thereafter he lay quite still and showed no sign of life, which led his wife and kinsfoik to conclude that he was dead. This happened on St. Silvester's day, and to avoid keeping the. supposed corpse in the house three days (for on 8 Saturday preceding 8 festival no body can be buried), 1t was decided to lay him in the ground that very night after vespers, and arrangements were made accordingly. The body was removed to the cemetery church, where the pope (priest) read the service for the dead. While this was going on Cthe coffin being uncovered) some of the bystanders noticed what seemed to be drops of sweat on the dead mans face; but this appearance being attributed to g few snowfakes which had fallen during the passage from Tichonof's house to the cemetery, he was laid in the grave without more ado, and the hour being late very little earth was thrown over him. When the gravedigger went early next morning to the cemetery to complete his work he heard a sound as of grooming and struggling in Tichonotf's grave. Instead of forthwith releasing the poor wretch the man ran to the priest to ask leave to disinter him. This request the priest refused on the ground that he dare not touch body once buried without the permission of the police On this the sexton informed Tichonoffs wife of what had come to pass, and they went tol ether to the chief of the local police. This gentleman said it was quite out of his power to give the required authorization, and referred them to the archimandrite, and the archimandrite professed to be equally powerless, referring them to the procurator In the end the agonized wife procured the authorization without which nobody would act, and returned to the cemetery. But it was too late; five hours had elapsed since the gravedigger first heard the groans, and Tichonof was now dead beyond the possibil- ity of doubt. The poor fellow succumbed only after a mortal struggle. He had turned quite round in his coffin and in his despair bitten his fingers, torn his flesh and rent his clothing. ''This fatality" say the VieClo- maOstt, ''is due to no other cause than the senseless formalitiss which prevail in every branch of Russian administration Mme Tichonoff is suing the priest who refused to let the grave digger disinter her husband for damages, on the ground that he caused the latter's death by too slavishly obeying the letter of his instructions.

A ten days limit would be better than either three or sixty.

It seems that the town of Monticello had Issued series of funding bonds, payable in gold, bearing seven per cent, and running ten years A special clause provided that the bonds might be declared due by the hold ar whenever the town of Monticello failed to nav the interest on the bonds according to contract. The case was decided against the plaintiff, on the ground that the town of Monticello had issued bonds without being specially authorizsd by the Legislature.

There was a recent trial on board the
Nette at Portsmouth OF a compound az
mOr-plate, manufactured on the Ellis sys-
TEN for the Russian Government. The
plate, which was teSt-sanple OF armOr
intended TO protect the bows of the Demei-
tri Donski. was feet square and a inches
thick. The gun used for the test was the
seyen-inch muZzle-loadcr, which was fired
with eight-pOund charges and cast-irOn
shot weighing 113 pounds, the range being
80 feet. The first round produced an in
dcntation g inches in diameter and 4
inches deep. The second round had a
similar result. Neither Of the proiectiles
developed cracks. The third and last
round remained im5edded in the plate.
This trial was considered very satisfactory.
