to stay in their former locations,
and hundreds of lesser industries
have spent thousands of dollars
in rehabilitating themselves. In
dustrial losses are figured at ten
millions. about 1870 of it has
been replaced.
No one who has not seen the
marks of the tragedy that swept
like blight across New England,
can comprehend it. The vast loss
was occasioned by the fact that
the density of population in the
entire area is so great that cities
and towns metaphorically clasp
hands, so closely are they grown
together. Away from the cities
and towns, where open forest
lands lay exposed to the full
rush of the great gale, the ever
green trees, and the yet green
September foliage, on the an
nuals not thus early touched by
the fiery fingers of Autumn,
made a veritable umbrella to
catch the full drive of the 1875
miles-an-hour blast. Seashore
communities were wiped from
the map, and the coastline entire
ly changed, by two tidal waves.
Cities, such as Providence, r. l.,
and others built around the
mouths of rivers opening into
Long Island Sound or the open
sea, were buffeted by two tidal
waves.
Pine trees grow in rich loan,
with surface roots, and these were
torn from the yielding soil and
deposited vertically in layers un-
dulating uphill and down like
blankets thrown over persons in
bed. p~%
Elm trees have very deep tap
root, and when these trees, used
largely for shade in city and town
and village streets, were blown
over they fell slowly like tired
old men lying down for an aft
ernoon nap. The naples and
birches snapped brittly or top
pied with half their roots still in
the soil. And all through this
summer the bottom halves of
each of such trees as had part of
their root system intact, have
grown from Spring into Fall just
pathetic shadows of their former
selves, ghosts, half tree, half
skeleton.
Extent Of Tragedy
So great was the tragedy, so
extensive the loss of communica-
tons systems, SO futile the work
of short wave radio sets without
the service of power from cleo
