y recent article by Herr r. Sendtner
in the "Meteorologische Z~eitschrift''
ENDS to prove that the works of art in
the streets and squares of cities are more
liable to decay than those in the country,
and that this decaying process is moro
rapid nowadays than it was forty or fifty
years ago. The writer attributes it not only
to the changes of temperature in general,
but more especially to the variations Of
temperature near the freezing point, the
freezing of the water in the pores Of the
work Of art fastening the decay, in con-
sequence of the sulphurous and sulphuric
acids, arising from the increased use of
coal. These deleterious ingredients mix
ing with the rain, fog and dew act like
diluted sulphuric acid on the surfaces of
statues, monuments, etc, be they of
stone or bronze.
Worse than all these, however, is the
effect of the snow, which absorbs those
acids to a remarkable degree. Fresh
fallen snow in Munich, for instance, con-
tanned seven to eight milligrammes of
acid to each kilo of snow; and the same
proportion was noticeable at Eorstenricd,
about eight kilomctcrs from the city. The
same quantity Of snow, after having re-
NAMED on the ground n fortnight, showed
in Munich sixty-ono milligrammos, while
at Forstcnried the proportion had not
altered in the least; hence the snow in
the city must needs have a more delete
rious effect than that in the country.
This also is the reason why tho public
monuments in Berlin arc always covered
at the approach of wintcr.-Bcrlincr

| Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
SAN FRANcIsco, July 25.-At meeting
of the State Board of Forestry this after
noon comprehensive review OF its WORK
since its establishment in 1885 was reac
by Hon. Abbott Kinney.
The report stated that it had been mos
difficult to find experienced and compe
tent men to take charge of forest work
as the Board enlarged its field. Califor'
MIA, more than any other State in the
Union, will feel the disastrous effect oi
forest destruction, and the Commission.
ers have therefore introduced bills into
every recent Legislature, giving the con-
troll OF the mountain forests to board OF
properly constituted forest officers, by
whom a number of violations of laws
have been prosecuted.
A marked increase in the sale of forest
land is noted. Seven hundred and forty
thousand acres were taken up prior to
June /, 1887, and since then and up to
NAV, 1888, there had been l60, 900 acres
taken.
An accurate forest map OF the State,
according to the survey lines of sections,
is being made by Engineer Davidson,
and the botanist of the Board, Professor
Lennon, is engaged upon an exhaustive
report on the forest fora OF California.
The Board has undertaken the collec-
ton of Museum of Forestry, and also
undertaken the establishment, in differ
ent climatic belts of the State, OF expert
mental stations to ascertain what trees
are best for each locality. One at Chico
and one at Santa Monica have been es-
tablishpd, and the Board has offers Of
eighty acres at Pasadena, one hundred
near San Diego, forty near Merced, and
forty on the Colorado river. At the end
of the year the Board will turn over to
the State property worth $4,000 and
225,000 trees ready for next years plant
ing. -.
Mr.. Kinney referred to the death of
James Bettner, OF Riverside, as loss to
the cause of forestry in the State.
The report OF Special Agent Behan,
who represents the Board in the South,
stated that he had examined the forests
and water courses Icontiguous to Los
Angeles, and found the volume of water
in the streams diminished fully fifty per
cent. by the partial denudation of the
forests in the watersheds.

sions to himself, he felt they were too
fattering.

sponded by Professor Bryce and Consul
