Forests Effect Stream Flow.

by the forest service along his line,

character, which has allowed only the
drawing of tentative conclusions. In
order to secure reliable data upon
such a vital subject. it is necessary to
select permanent sites adaptable to
stream-flow experiments, that the OBJ
servations may be extended over q
number of years. Two watersheds
will be chosen in the. different foe
ests in this state. having an area Of
not more than 200 acres preferably,
one Of them to be covered with dense
forest and the other entirely devoid
of forest growth, or only sparseY

at an angle ranging between fttN
ard thirtv-five degrees. and rocky or
c1avev soils rather than deep, sandy

With almost 10. 200 cases of small

smallpox as an epidemic disease has

that the disease is NJ longer anything

are so slight that the diagnosis is dill

Especial correspondence TO Morning Journhit
Chicago. June 23.-The movement
for clearing house examination of

in Chicago, is gaining ground else

that several large cities are about to

rangcment supplement the work of
the federal and state examiners by
submitting to examination by a renu-
lar agent of the clearing house, with
the idea of mutual protection and the
further safeguarding of the funds Of
depositors. which have now reached
the enormous total of twelve and a
half billion dollars for the whole I'M

into effect about three years ago,
