on the recent great floods throughout the
West, Prof J. W. Powell of the | nited
States theological Survey, says Every
man loves to see trees scattered over the
landscape for their beauty and for their
usefulness and there Is no sadder sight
than that presented by the destruction
of forest by fire or wanton destruction
when the slopes of plains, bills and noun
tains are denuded of forests, especially by
fire, they are attacked by rains and chan
nelcd by the streams and the fertile soils are
swept away until desolation prevails
The forest. annually destroyed by fire il
the nited States are of great extent and

and claim that they can change elimate'
thereby. Some minute effects on evapora

such effects compared with the great powers
of nature in producing rain are too inslg-
nifcant to be worthy of consideration.
Regarding the views of men who think
they control the rains by hombardinl

Powell says When you meet with one
of these men you may know that devil
fish has seized him" Such errors offer
have a subtle power over the mind by reason
of the modicum of truth which they con
tain, and herein is the great source of theil
injury 10 the cause of real science.
