PunIab Forests.

The jand forests OF the Punjab are
,pread over the arid, alluvial plains,
where, as a rule, the rainfall does not
exceed ten inches. The area covered
IS $500 square miles. II is chiefly re-
markable owing to the length OF its
.ap-root, specimens having been found
with a tap-root as much as S4 feet in
ength, descending vertically to
iepth Of 64 feet This tap-root enables
he tree to obtain its water from the
permanent water supply III the subsoil.
Doubtless at one time the jand lived
IN a region liable to floods. since 1t
has been found that no natural regen-
Grafton occurs in the jand forests.
though in irrigated or flooded districts
The jand is reproduced readily from
seed. 1t seems probable that the ex.
planation of the long tap-roots is due
to the effort on the part OF the tree to
keep pace with the gradual lowering
Of the water table of the soil, result
ing from the lowering OF the river
beds by erosion.

 Penn was not merely in favor of universal peace, might have been expected but favor of fighting for it if necessary He favored federation of nations with central tribunal for deciding international troverses.
