Influence of Woods on Rainfall.

M. Claudot, French Inspector Of For
ests, has published his observations,
made during several years, on the in
fuence of woods on sainfall. He finds
that the mean temperature is always
lower in woods than in the open. but
the difference is only about half de-
gree as rule. Rain Is more abundant
in wooded lands, other circumstances
being equal. There is three or four
times more evaporation Of water from
open ground than from forest in year,
and the difference is greatest in sum-
mer. In open ground evaporation is
maximum in April. Woods exposed
to the south and southwest receive
most rain.

GroundIess Alarm i'm Coast Towns.

A Washington dispatch to the New
York Tribune says that applications
are pouring into the war and navy de-
partments for the immediate protection
of supposedly exposed places on
the Atlantic, and Gulf sesboard.
Some towns ask for the immedi-
ate constr uctions of batteries, while
others want warships stationed off the
shore. A majority of the applications
are from small towns. The two Flor
ida senators called today on Secretary
Alger tn urge that protection be af-
forded to some of their coast towns,
such as Miami, and that troops be sta
toned there. The officials say it is
mantle ,tly impossible to comply with
these requests, and have no hesitation
in declaring that the apprehension
among the people of these towns is
largely groundless. They say that
there would be no inducement for q
Spanish naval force to attack small ,un-
fortified coast towns. The only purpose
that could be served by such an
attack would be the collection of ran
som, and this in no casercould be i'm
posed for lack of time. Also it is said
that the rules of civilized warfare re-
quire that no unfortitied town SHALL be
bombarded without at least twenty
four hours notice, the object of this
delay being to allow nOn-cOmbatants to
retire 70 place Of safety.

Must We Carry the War Into Srains

WASHINGTON, April 26.-In an in-
terview today Thomas J. Mackay. of
South CaroliIa, made some pregnant
observations. Captain Mackay was
some years ago detailed to make a
thorough examination of Moro Castle
in his capacity captain of eDgi ueers
of the United States army. His report,
accompanied by complete plans, is now
on file in the war depar' ment. Cap
tain Mackay. or as he is now called :,
Judge Mackay, believes we have a most
formidable conflict on cur hands. and
that the war will surely last three or
four years and possibly longer. He
said:
''To achieve a final aud decisive VIC
tory we will be forced to land a formi-
dable army on Spanish soil. That will
bring on one of the greatest battles in
the annals of the worlds history.
A quarter of million men Will
be engaged on either side
The taking of Cuba and Porto
Rico, inst lad of making a termiua-
tion to the fearful strug gle, will on the
contrary only be its Inception. The
enemy have been wise enough to dis
count the loss of these islands from the
beginning. Spain has popul ,ion of
nineteen million people. Tney are q
warlike race. Unless we administer a
crushing blow on their own soil the v
will not stop fighting for the next
thirty years"
