Waste of the worlds Forests.

When the forests of such a country as
Cyprus were destroyed said Mr.. Thistle
ton Dyer, in discussion in the British
society of arts, it was like a burned
cinder Many of the West Indian islands
are in much the same condition, and the
rate with which the destruction takes
place when once commenced is almost in
credible. In the Island of Mauritius, in
1886, about three-fourths of the soil was
in the condition Of primeval forest, viz,
300, 900 acres; in 1879 the acreage of
woods was reduced to 20, 900, and in the
next year, when an exact survey was
made by an Indian forest otficec, he
stated that the only forest worth speak
ing about was 30, 600 acres. Sir William
Gregory says in Ceylon the eye, look
ing from the top of a mountain in
the center of the island, ranged in every
direction over an unbroken extent of
forest. Six years later the whole forest
had disappeared. The denudation of the
forests is accompanied by deterioration
in the soil, and the Rev. r. Abbay, who
went to Ceylon on the eclipse expedition,
calculated, from the percentage Of solid
matter in stream, that one-third of an
inch per annum was being washed away
from the cultivated surface of the island.
In some colonies the timber was being
destroyed at such rate as would soon
lead to economical difficulties. In
Jamaica nearly all the timber required
for building purposes has already to be
! imported. In New Brunswick the hem
lock spruce is rapidly Disappearing, one
manufacturer in BOiestown using the
bark of 100, 600 trees every year for tam
ming. In Dcmerara, one of the most i'm
portant and valuable trees, the green
heart, is in a fair way of being exter.
minated. They actually cut down small
saplings to make rollers on which to roll
/ the large trunks. In New Zealand
| Captain Walker says he fears the present
I generation will see the determination of
the Kauri pine, one of the most import
ant trees All these facts show that this
is a most urgent question, which at no
distant date will have to be vigorously
| dealt with. Popular Science Monthly.
