Chicago Tribune.I

An incident which occurred in China
last month shows how the fate of eastern
empires hangs on personal idiosyncrasies.
At IL meeting of the new council called to
consider the French proposals the minis
tiers were silent. The empress brusquely
ordered them to go and inquire of Prince
hung and Of Pao Chung Tang who had
been dismissed in ApriD whether they
could make any suggestion, The minis
tiers repaired to the residences Of these re.

from both that, not having the threads of
the negotiations. they were incompetent
to suggest anything, On the trembling
ministers stammering out this message the
empress was enraged She declared that
the ex ministers wished to raise Il new
iiIicuty, and instantly degraded them,
lorbidding them to present themsel YES al
her birthday festivities.

In the oNcial report of the geological
survey of Wisconsin is an account OF the
determinations made by Or, J. VI. Andcrs,
OF the amount of wafer pumped from the
earth by trees. He finds that the average
eNhalation from soft, thin.lelved plants
in clear weather amounts To about one
and n quarter ounces troy, per day of
twelve hours, for every square foot of
surface. Hence moderate sized elm
raises and throws oil seven and three.
quarters tons of water per day, In the
report the facts are applied to what is
going on in America, where certain inland
fertile districts are becoming converted
into deserts by wholesale cearings, and in
other places such rs the plains OF
Colorado, where only i've o. six years OF
irrigation and planting have already pro
duccd a measurable increas-' OF rainfall.
1t is maintained that the deserts of Syria
and Africa are the results of cutting down
trees, and that original luXuriance may
be restored by skillful replanting
