Climate Affected by Deforestation.

That the stripping of trees from a
country has bad effect on the climate
is indicated by the following account
by traveller in the interior of China:
"Kansu is the poorest of all the
provinces of China and the most in.
accessible by reason of its defective
communications. Devastated by Mo.
hammedan instruction in the years
from 1861 to 1873, it has never re.
covered from the ravages to which It
was then subjected. The ruins every
where of what were once thriving
towns and villages impress the trav.
eler with sense of the horrors of in.
surrection in China. Insurrection
means determination of the vanquished
no quarter to old or young, to man
or woman. Loss of life during the
great instruction amounted to mil
lions, and even in the short insurrec
ton of 1896 the destruction of life
was appalling. The province now
needs repeopling, but in the absence
Of communications the work is diff.
cult. It is treeless province. There
has been universal destruction of tim.
ber Even the fine avenue of willows
and poplars planted by Tso Tsung.
tang between the two capitals is fast
disappearing. Differentiation is pro.
foundry affecting the climate. When
rain falls it falls with such violence
that it scars the face of the country,
which is everywhere covered with soft
loess (clay) of varying thickness, with
no vegetation to bind the soil to-
gether."

American Children,


There are two classes of rich Amer
lean children. One is never heard Of.
To this belong those children who are
being brought up on sensible healthy,
simple life plan, being trained by Eng
lish governesses and tutors, who come
from country where the training of
children is very fine art. These
youngsters will grow into strong
wholesome men and women with
healthy bodies and alert minds, eager
to enjoy those pleasures and interests
which will be theirs when they grow
old enough to appreciate them. The
children of the other class are always
in evidence. They sit through long
performances of die Goetterdaem-
merung" and "Elektra," read grown
up books, and mimic the world of
their elders to the detriment of their
minds, manners, and bodies. What
will the world have to offer these
young people when they grow up?
Every luxury which their elders have
enjoyed they are tasting of in greater
or less degree, and most of the excite
ment as we'll. They have got so far
away from the simple tastes of child
hood that they can no longer under
stand it's pleasures, while all the edge
has been taken of the amusements to
which their elders look forward.

GroWths Which Exhaust Trees,

The growths which spring up near
plum and other fruit trees and roses
have an exhausting effect, and are
rightly termed suckers. They should
be carefully cut away from their point
of origin, removing little soil for the
purpose.
1t is useless to cut them off near the
ground; remove the soil down to the
root from which they spring, and make
a clean cut with sharp knife. It may
be stated that the principal cause of
the appearance of suckers around fruit
trees Is the damage done by digging
among the roots of the trees with the
spade.
When carelessly used the spade
scrapes the surfaces of the thicker
roots, and from these wounded sur
faces the suckers spring. When roses
throw up suckers around their base it
is owing to the non-removal of the
buds in preparing the stocks before
planting.-Denver Times.
