One of the most remarkable illus
trations in all history Of the lief
fects of the disappearance of forests
may be observed in Palestine. In the
days when Joshua conquered the
Promised Land, Palestine was Won
derfully fertile country, land flow
ing with milk and honey. The Leb-
anon Mountains were heavily wooded,
and a large population was supported
In comfort.
The general devastation of the for
ests brought about, however. a grad
ual deterioration of the country. The
hills of Galillee. which had long served
as pasture lands for large herds OF
cattle and sheep, are now sterile.
The Jordan has become an insignifi.
cant stream, and several smaller riv-
eres are now completely dried up
throughout the greater part of the
year. Some few valleys in which fer
tile washed down from the hills has
been deposited have retained their old
fertility The land today supports
only one-sixth the population of the
time of Solomon.-Christlan Herald.

By far the most spectacular work

his teammates, was remarkable
ground gamer. and the way he went
through broken field was marvellous
considering the that he wore pair
of slippers without cleats. He slipped
repeatedly on the slippery field.
