Besides the lowering of water in dry years the de-
struction of woods causes great floods water
sheds which have steep slopes. and the earth, 10
longer held to the hlilsdes By the tree roots, is
washed down into the water channels. So long as
the current is swift the load of sediment is carried
forward On reaching the larger valleys, where
the velocity of the stream lessons the silt begins to
deposit, filling mp the water channels and thus
spreading the food over adjacent lands. causing
more or less iniury 10 farming and other property.
In California the finest farms Of the Sacramento
Valley were threatened with destruction from this
cause The finer sediments will. however, pass on
beyond the smaller streams and fill the navIgabe
channels of the Hudson and the canal. These great
highways of the State are therefore threatened by
the double danger of being filled with increased
sediments of the Hoods and also deprived of "a large
percentage of their summer water supply; this sup
ply being reduced both by the loss OF water es-
Gaping in spring floods and by an enormous increase
in evaporation.
A further result of this flooding of lands adjacent
TO the water channels and lowering the water
during the dry season will be marked injury to
tie public health.
-Four great public purposes are therefore to be
served by the preservation of the Adirondack
woods, namely: Tho protection of the channels Of
commerce: the protection of the manufacturing
industries dependent on the dow Of water in the

EsTRLLA FLANDERS.

Silently as the snowflake falls SO Esiella
Flanders life went forth from our midst,
leaving the sweet incense of her pure life TO
bless the hearts of loving friends. Here she
was born and lived, suffered and died at the
early age of 26 years. Hers was the unfold
ing of blossom that gave promise of a
beautiful fruitage in after years. Hers was
terable and untold. Without murmuring,
sinking into the will of God, she bore her
pains. Here is the victory of faith, here the
answer of every prayer, and the full fruition
of dearest hope. Though brief, yet was not
her life waste, for We live in deeds, not
years: in thoughts, not breaths: in feelings,
not in figures on a dial We should count
time by heart-throbs. He most lives who
thinks most; feels the noblest; acts the best"
