FORESTS AND THE PUBLIC.


AAADer Areas should BE Saved
from Destruction.
Al very small expense d few years
ago the national and state governments
could have held or acquired enough of
the remaining timber belts of the coun-
try not only to protect river sources
and mitigate floods but also to protect
the public in its lumber supply and
prevent the formation of a. monopoly
control OF SO needful an article of gen
|eral use, says the Review of Reviews.
The Roosevelt administration has ex-
erted itself strenuously to create for
est reserves and stop the further en-
croachments of the lumber trust upon
the national domain. 1t has constant
ly demanded a reform of the land
laws, In order to better protect the pub
lie interest.
Its chief enemy in all this attempt
to save the domain of the people from
the land thieves and timber thieves has
been congress itself. 1t is to be hoped
that the investigation now involved by
the Senate will be thorough and that it
will shield no public men who have aid
ed and abetted the process of turning
the forest lands of the country over to
the lumber kings. Whatever may be
the objection to the public ownership
and operation of practical business en-
terprises like railroads. there can be no
sound argument against the retention
by the public of the great forest areas
of the upland and mountain regions of
the country.
The government itself now possesses
far more knowledge Of practical for
estry than do the lumber people and
by judicious system of leasing it could
supply the lumbermen with merchant
able timber without destroying the for
ests. Great mischief has been done,
but the situation is not altogether hope
less ,and the proposed investigation will
doubtless be of great value. Even
where great areas have been devas.
tated by the lumber trust and the
woodpulp trust, the nation or the re-
spective states can acquire them and
make new forests out of them on scien-
tiic principles.

The first man to whom 1t ever oc-
CURED to find out how much rain was
represented by a given fall of snow was
Alexander Brlce of Kirknewtown, who
in March, 1765, made simple expert
ment with the contents OF stone jug
driven face downward into over six
inches of snow. What he learned was
that greater or less degree Of cold,
or of wind, when the snow falls, and
Its "lying longer or shorter time on
the ground" will occasion difference
in the weight and in the quantity of
water produced; "but it," he added, II
may trust to the above trials, which l
endeavored to perform with care, snow,
newly fallen, with a moderate gale of
wind, freezing cold, will produce a
quantity of water equal to one-tenth
part of Its bulk" So that a fall Of
snow OF ten inches represents a rain
fall OF one inch.-London Chronicle.
