Forests and Rainfall.

Gen. Cassius M. Clay, who is spend
ing his old age on farm at Whitehall,
KY, writes long letter to the New
York sam in regard to the influence of
forests upon the annual rainfall, in the
course of which he says:
"The clouds bearing rain to all this
Kentucky lowland come from the Gulf
of Mexico. Here | have lived long
life-you may say near three genera
tons of mane usual years. That great
disturbances of the original distribution
of rain in time and place have occurred
is indisputable. In early years we
planted Indian corn from the LIST of
April to the LIST of July, and the loss of
a crop for want of rain was mheard Of.
Now, unless crop is pitched at the
earliest opportunity, it is mostly lost in
four years out of five. What is the
reason? The waters flowing off from
surface all around fields once bordered
by forests and leaf mold are not util-
lied by silent evaporation, as once was
the case, and for months the rain does
not fall at all, and every year it becomes
more partial. Now one county has
plenty of rain during the growing
season, and another has none. One
farm in county has rain and another
in sight has not drop. These are in
contestable facts, which | know and
tens of thousands will attest. Now, I
ask, what is the cause?"
Gen. CLAY thinks, as many other
careful observers do, that the denuda-
ton of the surrounding land has much
to do with regulating the rainfall in a
given locality. 1t is apparent to the
most careless observer that hills and
mountain ranges determine the location
of dry deserts as we'll as of rivers and
of fertile areas Of soil, and there can be
no doubt that even the comparatively
slight elevations made by forests have
an appreciate effect upon the quantity
of moisture that is precipitated from
the passing clouds in the district to
which they belong; but, after oil, the
great use of the woods is to retain the
moisture rather than to produce it.
The influences which affect the quantity
of the rainfall are exceedingly complex
and are but imperfectly understood;
but the utility of the forest in checking
evaporation and, above all, In storing
away in its myriads of minute cisterns
the supply of water from the storms of
winter and spring, to be given out
/ through the arid months of summer in
O multitude of small streams, is too
obvious to escape the most superficial
obseryer.-Detroit Post.

Many superstitions have been AZ.
fached to precious stones. The am.
ethyst was considered cure for drunk.
enness, and was dedicated to Bacchus.
Jasper was used as charm by athletes,
Although the diamond is made of com.
mon carbon, no successful attempt has
been made to reproduce it. Its com.
position was discovered in 1894, and its
weight was determined by the weight
OF q bean found in the East called
carat. A diamond of more than ten
carats is called princely; diamond Of
more than 100 carats sovereign. There
are not 1000 known diamonds that
weigh over ten carats, and not twenty
that weigh more than 100. The value
OF diamond is determined partly by
color and partly by weight, and in this
country there is an absurd custom OF
considering no diamond worth having
that is not absolutely white. Flaws in
diamonds are black specks, carbon that
has not crystallized, or bubbles Of gas
or liquid or natural faces of the diamond
that have not been ground off. Black
diamonds are mostly used for tools, but
In Russia they are worn when the court
is in mourning. They ara beautiful
gems with brilliant luster. The ruby
is the most precious of all the stones
when it has the true pigeon-blood color.
A ruby of five carats is worth twice as
much as diamond of the same weight.
The ancients held this stone to be
charm against poison. disease and
wicked thoughts. Sapphires, to be
beautiful, must be of uniform deep
blue. The deeper the green of the
emerald the better, and this stone loses
no brilliancy by artificial light. It's
color is supposed to be the same
element that colors the leaves of trees.
The opal, considered the unlucky stone,
was to the ancients the only gem that
seemed to store up the light OF day. Il
cannot be successfully initiated. The
hard opal is found in Hungary, the soft
in Mexico. Five per cent. of water is a
constituent of the latter, and when
placed in water the dull stone resumes
its wonted brilliancy. Garnets are
found in Bohemia, the most beautiful
are gathered in Nevada. They have
been seen of almost every color Of the
rainbow, but green and red are used in
iewelry.
