Reforestlnn the Plains.

In the state of Nebraska there are twenty thousand square miles of coun- try that is absolutely treeless. The soil is nothing but sand on which no plant grows except a long grass that Is good for grazing.
 Anciently, perhaps seven million years ago. the area in question was part of the floor of a sea. Hence, of course. the sand. But within eompera- lively recent times the region must have been forested, for here and there are discovered stumps of trees as much ns two feet in diameter.
 Discovery of these old stumps lsA the United States forest service te be- lievs that trees might be made te grow there again. Accordingly. the experiment was begun about eighteen thousand acres of young forest have been successfully established. Some Of the trees today are as much as twenty-five feet high.
 The trees planted in this area are all of them of cOniferous varieties jack pine, Norway pine and yellow pine. At Halsey, Neb., Is maintained a nursery, which produces two million of these little trees each year.
 For planting them, a novel method Is adopted. Instead of setting each little tree in a hole by itself, a blow Is run along through the sand, and the baby trees are planted in a row in the furrow.

Record of Sunshine.

J. B. Kincer of the weather bureau has just published in the Monthly Weather Review a valuable analysis of the available sunshine records of this country. He presents charts and graphs showing for all parts of the United States the mean solar time of sunrise and sunset, the average length of the day, sunrise to sunset, for differ ent seasons of the year; the average for each month in the year, of the daily amounts of sunshine, in hours; the sea
 sonal and annual amounts in percent age of the maximum possible the yearly percentage of clear, partly cloudy and cloudy days. Data of this character Is comparatively scarce, for the reason that the instruments re- quired to make these records are very delicate and require expert attention. A great deal of meteorological observa- ton work Is done by amateurs or vol unteers who are not equipped with the necessary apparatus for accurately re- cording the periods of sunshine.
