A series OF IL old Dutch panels

FORESTS AND MOISTURE.
Trees Conserve Water, Aid. Percolation
and R:sard Evaporation.


Trees drink in and transpire an enor-
nous quantity of water. This giving
off tempers the drynesS Of the nearby
atmosphere. Moisture bearing currents
Of air are caught by forest areas as
they are not by the heated plains. Lo-
cal showers; may thus ie@ome more
frequenc where trees abound, or 1T
leas, the availability OF whatever rain
may fall is increased for the locality
by forest srowthS.
Foliage. twigs and branches break
the fall Of the ra!ndrops. So does the
litter on the forest floor. Hence the
soil under this cover is not compacted
as in the open field. but is kept loose
and granular. 50 water can readily
penetrate and percolate. The water
reaches the ground more slowly. drip
ping radlally from the leaves. branch
es and trunks. and thus more time is
allowet, for it to sink into the soil and
appear again in springs or snbsoil
moisture lower down. -
In forests there is much less evapo-
ration Of moisture than in the open
country because sun and wind do not
have such free play. 1t is estimated
that forests have from 80 to 60 per
cent of water supply more than the
open fields because Of increased per-
collation. and decreased evaporation.-

They Are All Athletes and Are the
Pride OF the Army.
The bersaglieri (sharpshooters) are
the elite of the Italian army. and each
bersag gliere is i picked man, chosen for
his hardihood and stamina, the aver
age bersagliero being short and thick
set, but with magnificent strength and
exceptional powers Of endurance -.
There is no prouder soldier in the
world than the full blown bersagliere
as he swaggers along the street of an
Italian town in his dark blue uniform,
with its rich red facings. and on his
head, set ut a raEish angle. the famous
wide brimmed black slouch hat adorn-

A paraaoxicai River.

On the African shore. near the Eli
Of Alden and connecting the lake ot
Assal with the n IN ocean, may be
found one Of the n. ,st wonderful rir-
ers in the world. This curiosity does
not flow to but from the ocean toward
inland. The surface of Lake Ass:!l
itself is nearly 100 feet below the
mean tide. and it is feG by this, para
doxical river. which is about twenty
two miles in length. 1t IS highly prob
able that the whole basin which the
lagoon partly fills was once an arm
Of the sea, which became separated
therefrom by the duning Of loose. sand.
The infowing river has limited vol
ume. being fullest, Of course. at high
tide, and has filed the basin to such
an extent that evaporation and supply
exactly balance each other.
