Both would operate, if at all, in the same way. The difference in distance between trees fifty feet high and corn eight feet high, to clouds two miles high, would not be one two·hundredth part, and one would be as likely to draw water down, if at alliJrom tw.o mrle to the other.

ManyToose ·observations are quoted to sustain it ; but where accurate records are kept, although varying with the changes of the season on both sides, some givmg diminished rains where the V'LOOds have been cleared, and others increased rain, the11.verage-i8 very nearl equal. The signal service has kept records of the rain for from forty to sixty year~, at posts in Ohio and Kentucky ; ior the first ten years, when the forests were mostly standing, the rain was slightly.less than for the last ten years, when they had been largely cut away. The annual average for the first period was 34.01 inches; for the last, 49.93 inches-a very small difference, and doubtless to be accounted for wholly by the variations of wet and dry summers. This ·opinion appears to have been adopted in the first place by some one who made a single observation, or else who thought it a handsome theory; and . h writers, without full examination, ave copied it, and continue to copy it down to · d the present· time. lt is a common an correct opinion that forests preserve the moisture of the earth's surface, and pre· vent the drying up of springs by the shade which they afford and by the spongy character of leaf-mold at a time of the year when their green leaves are not pumping up the water through the stems from the subaoil which holds them ; and itisnotiinprobable that this m~y have contributed to the erroneous notion, and the mere retention of water mistaken for its fall.-[Countrv(Gentleman. fall of !L'ain, and whether more rain comes mate Banking in all its branche~. d... wn in wooden than cleared regions of Farmers notes discounted ;' Deposits thei oou.t;ry, 1 la a.nswer, we may state received and Interest paid on amounts of $5 upwards in Savings Bank Department. opinion is correct that forests increase the w c TYLER _ _..,,.._ _ p u MPS ! · BOW-MANVILLE, Manufacturer and Dealer in Pumps of -all kinds,- RUBBER BUCK~TS, WIND MlLLS, Issued and Collections made in Europe, WINDO w SHADES~ United States and Canada:. and Genera.I Jobber in OFFIVE-:'llurdocll B1·os.
