duced under the auspices of the society
and issued by the Roman Catholic Church
I'm commemoration of the Tooth anniversary
of the establishment of the diocese of New
York. The medal was executed by Jules Z.
Rone, a New York sculptor and medailist.
The issues of this medal are numbered
and include. besides No. l. In gold, for
Pope Plus ", No. l, In silver, and No.
/, in bronze, which were executed for
presentation to Archbishop Farley. Med
bronze from No. . to No. 10l, are now
being distributed to subscribing members
of the American Numisnatic Society.
Many medals in silver and bronze are also
being struck for distribution among the
clergy in Europe and America and the re-
ligious and civic organizations that took
part In the centennial celebration in 1908.
On the diverse of the medal are seven
portraits OF the preiates who were at the
head of the diocese of New York during
the first century Of its existence. Six por-
traits surround the profile of Archbishop

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
ADIRONDACK CLIMATIC CHANGE.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: All who are interested in the pres
eryation of our forests should thank you
for to-day's editorial, French Forests ana
Floods in which you point to the latter
phenomenon as the disastrous and ineVlta-
hle result of denuding the hills, the sources
of rivers.
Nav ! add q word as to local reduction
of precipitation caused by cutting down
trees?
All precipitation is a circle of evaporl2a-
tion-and.rising, alternating with cohoensa-
on-and falling. This has two aspects, "
general or continental, as between the
ocean and continents, and (0 local. as be-
tween lakes, rivers, streams, moist lahos
and the neighboring territory.
without going into speculation as to ".
It requires only a knowledge of elementary
pfysics to understand how the cutting
down of trees on high. wooded plateau
such as the Adirondacks. reduces the pro-
cipitation ia that region.
Fermentation is always accompanied oS
q lowering OF the temperature, as is proved
by the Mexican water jug, or by Wettins
the finger and blowing on II. The relative
dampness of forest lands insures constant
slow, local eyaporization. with accompany
Increased by the greater altitude The
yapor rising from the surrounding hot
lowlands strikes the cool air of the wooded
highlands, is condensed and falls III RAIN
Now, ir the highlands denuded the
constant eyaporiZation ceases. the pare
rocks and soil store up the heat OF the sun,
letting il out gradually, and the tempera-
ture of the whole denuded area Is raised
The yapor from the lowlands finds nothing
to condense it and passes on elsewhere,
local precipitation being thus reduced
where ii is most needed.
Since the highlands are the sources OF
rivers. il becomes public misfortune when
they are stripped of their natural rain
catchers.
Ali who, like the writer, have been visit
Ing the Adlrondacks for the last thirty
years, can testify to a warmer and dryer
summer climate there now than formerly.
presumably due to the wholesale removal
OF timber. Tho unprecedented drouths
there OF recent years have, in turn, added
to the risk of and damage done by forest
fires.
The state should bond itself IL necessary,
10 complete its protective park now before
1t is too late and before the land becomes
more expensive. ERNEST T. CARTER.
