Russia has walked up to the fact that the
destruction of forests is having q serious
effect upon watercourses. 1t is noted that
the Caspian Sea Is percep,ibly receding, aud
the indications are that in hundred years
the Aral Sea may disappear alto
gether. The Government is dis
posed to take measures to prevent
the rapid and needless clearing of forest
lands and when the Russian Government re-
solves on any course it is apt to carry it out
with vigor and pertinacity. Perhaps the en-
ployment of Russian methods in dealing with
the question of forest preservation in this
country might not be a bad idea.
