DIR EORitSTS.

Recent discussion Of the necessity for
the preservation of trees on the public
lands OF this country has brought out
some interesting information regarding
the value attached TO forests abroad
and the laws in force to protect forests
from spolation. and prevent concom-
infant evils. Prussia. for instance, we
are told. allows no State woodlands to
pass TO private ownership France has
sold no government forests since 1870
and has very strict rules concerning the
clearing OF private woodlands. Such
clearing cannot be done without official
permission. and this last takes into con-
sideration whether the dunes. the sea-
shore. the mountains. the springs, the
water-courses. and so on, may be af-
fected unfavorably by the clearing.
Switzerland established her forest school
in 1865 and soon after enacted forest
law which Is binding over nearly two
thirds of the country. II requires the
cantons TO appoint and pay educated
foresters. The Russian law Of 1858 pro-

stand alone in the effort to make the
August excursion arranged BY the Ex-
cursion Committee under its auspices
great and triumphant success. The
Chamber will send 5000 circulars broad

behind hand, and there is scarcely a
house that expects 10 benefit by the
undertaking that has not issued circu-
lars TO its customers advising them OF the
advantage the excursion offers.
From LOCO to 5000 circulars will be
sent out by prominent local firms which
have contributed 10 the expenses Of the
undertaking. so that the venture will
not fail for lack OF proper advertisement.
The circular issued yesterday BY the
Chamber of Commerce sets forth the
object and purpose of the excursion, and
pledges the visitors a hearty welcome
Special hotel rates have been secured
