Among the elevations of the eastern

embraces the highest peaks and larg-
est mountain masses east Of the
Rockies. 1t is the great photographic
feature of the eastern half of the con-
tinent, and no other such lofty noun
tains are covered with hardwood for
ests in all North America.
Upon these mountains descends the
heaviest rainfall of the United States,
except that of the North Pacific Coast.
1t is often of extreme violence, as
much as inches having fallen in
eleven hours, 81 inches in one month,
and 105 inches in a year.
Vast Waste of Farm Soil.
The soil, once denuded of its for
ests and swept by torrential rains,
rapidly loses first it's humus, then its
rich upper strata, and finally is wash
ed in enormous volume into the
streams to bury such of the fertile
lowlands as are not eroded by the
floods, to obstruct the rivers, and to
fill up the harbors on the coast. More
good soil is now washed from these
cleared mountain-side fields during a
single heavy rain than during centu
ries under forest cover.
The rivers which originate in the
Southern Appalachian flow into OIL
along the edges of every State from
Ohio to the Gulf and from the Allan
tic to the Mississippi. Along theil
courses are agricultural, water-power
and navigation interests whose preser
walton is absolutely essential to thu
well being of the nation. The regula

We are Losing Millions of Dollars
Annually.

The floods in these mountain-b born
streams, if this forest destruction
continues, will increase in frequency
and violence, and in the extent of their
damages, both within this region and
across the bordering States. The ex-
tent Of these damages, like those from
the washing of the mountain fields
land roads, can not be estimated with
perfect accuracy, but during the pres
ent year alone the total has approx
mated $l0,000,000, sum sufficient to
purchase the entire area recommended
for the proposed reserve during the
past year the flood loss was probably
twenty million dollars. But this loss
can not be estimated in money value
alone. Its continuance means the
carly destruction of conditions most
valuable to the nation, and which nei-
ther skill nor wealth can restore.
The preservation Of the forests, of
the streams, and of the agricultural
Interests here described can be sue
cessfully accomplished only by the
purchase and creation of a National
Forest Reserve. The States of the
Southern Appalachian region own lit
tie or no land, and their revenues are
inadequate to carry out this plan.

How China soyeotts America.

HbOw Sbubd SSySSeeo SNistSst tSds
Since the boxer uprising nothing has.
happened to stir up the people of China
SO much as the present agitation
against the United States, says a Chez
Foo correspondent of Leslie's Weekly.
This is a commercial demonstration
made IN view of the renewal of the
treaty between these two countries re-
garding the entrance and residence OF
Chinese subjects in the United States
The present movement is one to boy
cott all American trade, all schools
conducted by Americans, and all
American employers in all the ports of
China. 1t ranges from Singapore on
the south to Tien-Tsin on the north,
and from Shanghai on the east coast
to Ichang in the west, a thousand
miles up the Yangtse river. 1t is most
virulent at Canton and Shanghai. The
powerful Chinese merchant guilds are
pushing the matter, and as they have
branches in every port city of China
they WELD considerable power. Ever
the old Empress Dowager, who prob
ably had never spent thought before
on the difficulties Of a Canton coolie
entering the Golden Gate, has been led
to express her sympathy with her "ill-
treated children"
The student class, who are much con-
cerned in the treaty, have taken up the
movement eagerly, and as result one
mission school in Shanghai had to.
close its doors, and several other larger
institutions were depleted of large
number Of students because of this boy
cott Meetings are held to agitate the
subject, and placards are distributed
or posted in conspicuous places.

erected in the city of Pueblo; and,
Whereas, ever since the city of Ge-

principal American authorities to par
ticipate in suitable exercises in honor
of the Columbian anniversary, there
has been an increasing public demand
that this day be set aside as holiday;

Recent advices from France state
that Prof. Moissan. the eminent SCI

and rubies. He employs for this pur-
pose the electric furnace. which has

heat can be produced. approaching the

doubtedly . factor in the formation OF
minerals and gems in the interior Of
the earth.
The rubies obtained are Of large
size, weighing 10 or is carats, and in
quality and color equal and even sur
pass those found In the earth. The
natural forces attending the formation
of diamonds seem to have been more
complicated, and 10 far the diamonds
resulting from the efforts of the SCI
entists have been very small. but still
they are positively identified as the
carbon crystal-the diamond. They
are remarkably clear and bright, and
on . small scale as fine specimens as
natures own product.
