At the recent meeting Of the Forestry
Congress in New York Gen Greedy Of the
signal service read paper on the rainfall
of twelve states and territories, mostly in
the arid regions The states covered by
Gen Greely's paper include more than
half the area Of the United States. Re
cent observations show Il much larger rain
fall in the arid regions than has been SUP
posed. The Importance Of this has been
demonstrated by the experience Of Austral-
ia, showing increased yield Of wheat in
proportion with increased rainfall. The
has removed one source Of fires, and a new
growth of forest has sprung up within ten
years. Cloud-bursts occur almost invaria-
bly, in regions destitute of forests. The
influence of forests in increasing rainfall
has probably been overrated, though they
seem to exert this influence to slight ex-
tent. Their great value is in conserving
and slowly parting with the supply.
Prof Egglestou read paper ON the for
estry outlook Notwithstanding the disap-
act suitable legislation, there is a general
rising of the tide of public opinion in re-
gard to forestry matters, under the leader
ship Of the press. The slow progress is
characteristic Of all schemes of education
The paper reviewed in detail the condition
of forestry in the different parts of the
United States The state Of New York, he
says, is the only eastern state which has any
public lands or forests under government
control 600 600 acres in the Alrondacks
and 80. 900 acres in the Catskills. Crafty
ing results followed the appointment of the
forestry commission in 1880, the ravages
of fire having been almost entirely check
ed, timber thieving and other depredations
suppressed and Sl4 900 recovered from for,
mer trespassers. The result is seen in a
marked increase in market value of land.

AT CHRISTMAS TIME.



Like small curcd feathers, white and soft.
The little clouds went by.
Across the moon, aud past the sturs
And down the western sky;
In upland pastures, where the grass
with frosted dew was white
Like snowy clouds the young sheep lay,
That first best Christmas night
The shepherds slept, and glimmcring faint,
with twist Of thin blue smoke
Only their fires cracking flames
The tender silence broke
Save when a young lamb raised his head,
or, when the night wind blew.
A nesting bird would softly stir,
Where dusky olives grew
with finger on her solemn lip,
Night hushed the -hudowy earth.
And only starr and angels saw
The little savior's birth;
Then came such fash Of silver light
Across the bending skies,
The wondering shepherds woke aud hid
Their frightened dazzled eyes;
But all their gentle sleepy flock,
Looked up then slept again,
Nor knew the light that dmmcd the stars
Brought endless peace to men.
Nor even heard the gracious words
That down the ages ring,
THE Christ is born, the Lord has come,
Good will ON earth to bring!"
Then DER the moonlit misty fields.
Dumb with the worlds great joy.
The shepherds sought the white-walled town,
Where lay the baby boy;
And oh, the gladncz- " the world
The glory Of the skies.
Because the longed for Christ had SMILED
In Mary happy eyesl
