Left to themselves, the forests would thus bless the lands con- tinually,iuid be abidineg man’s best friends. It is a matter of coviunon observation, how- ever, that watcrgcourses have disappeared or been greatly, lessened in volume as the forests in their vicinity have been destroy- ed. Few persons can have grown to matu- rity in the open country without having had occasion to remark the disappearance of streams with which in their childhood days they were familiar. The pond or the brook where they formerly disportcd them- selves has gone fmin sight, as have the neighboring woods where. they rambled in search of nuts and game. This is the com- mon experience. And as these springs and rivulcts and brooks have vanished or dwin- dlcd in volume, so have the larger water- courses into which they flowed, and which they fed, been lessened in size. They have furnished diminished supplies to the farmer for the irrigation of his fields, and lessened power to the wheels of the manufacturer, “'0 have few trustworthy and exact obser- vations on this point in our country. In Europe they are more abundant. The river Elbe between the years 1787 and 1837 was found to have a lessened depth of ten feet, as the result of the cutting off of the for- ests where the tributaries of that stream have their origin. A similar result, has been found in the case of the Danube, the Oder,and other streams. But an evil as important as the diminu- tion of the streams is the irregularity of their flow, which is also the result of the removal of the forest. The fall of the leaves from year to year, and their accu- mulatiou in the forest, create there a soft, spongy soil, or humus, which catches the rain as it falls from the clouds, for the wat- ter of the dissolving snows, and instead of allowing it to flow off at once, retains it as in a. great reservoir, from which it oozes away gradually throughatliousand springs and rivulcts, which find their way down the hillsides and slopes into the val- leys, and there unite in larger streams,\vliicli are kept in steady volume by there ular flow of the many head springs above. Thus the forests become great store-houses of power and fertility for man, upon which he can safely count in all his pursuits and oc- . cuputions which are at all dependent upon the flow of water. But let the forest be swept off by the recklessness or the cupidity of man, and the first effect, besides lessen- ing the ruin-full, is to dry up this humus, as it is exposed to the sun and the winds. As it is thus dried, it is soon carried away by both wind and rain. The spongy surface being thus removed, the falling rains have nothing to detain them. They rush at once down the bill-sides, filling the beds of brooks and rivers, overflowing the adjacent fields, and even swooping away houses, crops, fiactorios, brid van, and not unfre- qucutly destroying lie. In the intervals supplying power to man by which to drive all the mechanisms of industry and detritus of the upper country, until the riv- I er flows on a higher level than the adjaecnt ? v land, and the inhabitants have been obliged I l to dike thesich of the stream as the price f I of their own protection from ruin. VBut i now and then the ruin comes, as at Szcrgc- ! 1 din, by the torrents which have buried the i i debris of tho mountain-sides upon the ter- i tile fields of the valleys below. In one dis- trict the population declined 5,000 in five! years from this cause, the people being ' driven from their formcr homes and obliged g to take up their residence elsewhere. But ' where this has has not been the result, the I almost ’early recurring floods hauc been attended with great loss of property and the sacrifice of many lives. In a recent flood in the valley of the Garounc it was estimated that 1,000 lives were lost, and a I place of 30,000 inhabitants was almost blot- ted out of existence, while property to the amount of 300,000,000 francs was destroyed. These destructive effects of floods and tor- rents had been experienced in some meas- urc for u long time. But with the more rapid clearing away of the forests, which dates from the time of the French Revolu- tion in 1739, these evil effects had become more frequent as Well as more disastrous. So for bad this work of destruction and this I real impoverishment of the people exteud- _ ed, and so threatening had become the pres- f pact of further and most serious iiatioualf loss, that about thirty years ago the mittcr I was taken in hand by the government, and I vigorous measures adopted fer the purpose of arresting the evil, if possible, and re- claiming the injured soil. Investigation commissions were appointed, and the most careful examinations were made by compet- ent engineers and scientific experts,the result of which was the enactment of a. code for re- forestiug the mountains. Under this code a large expenditure was authorized to be made annually by the government for a. period of ten years, for the purpose of re- pluntiug those districts which had been strip ed of their trees, and which had there y given occasion to the torrents. The right of eminent domain was asserted. No one was now at liberty to remove at his pleasure the trees growing upon his own ground. He could cut them only under governmental direction, and in a. way that; would not be injurious to others; for it was seen that some peasant, living high up in the Alps, and desirous of ex- tending his pasture-ground by cutting off the forests around him, might by so doing give origin to a. torrent which would carry destruction to the fields of some one miles below, perhaps to the fields of a. whole vil- Inge. \Vliere the fields have been laid bure,tho government offers aid to those who need it in replanting them. If any will not, with this aid, set about the work of replanting, the authorities having the work of reforest- iug in charge take possession of the lands and replunt them. The owner has the right of redeeming his land at any time within five years after the replanting by the govern- ment has been completed, on condition of paying the cost of the labor cxpended,priu- cipal and interest, or by surrendering half of his land. In case this is not done, the land becomes wholly the property of the government. To do the work contemplated by the French code is by no means easy. When an Alpine torrent has refit a gap in the side of the mountain, and gone thundering down its flank for miles, gushing and lacerating it in every direction, it becomes a case of nice and most scientificas well as skifful surgery to close the frightful wound, and restore the whole to soundness; to replace the trees, and while they are getting the growth that wlll enable them to discharge the office of forests, to fix such temperory barriers as will prevent the continuance of the torrential flow of the rains and melting snows. There are mechanical and vege- table laws to be studied. There are nice plans of engineering to be formed and exe- cuted. There are peculiarities of climate and many meteorological facts to be taken into account. There is also needed a care- ful oversight of the lands adjacent to the l l Power for considered that it is stated on good authorâ€" ing appointments in the Crown forests of Prussia. ' The important place which forestry holds abroad may be seen from the fact that there life nine of those schools in Germany, , and one or more in every European country cxccptGrent Britain, which has hardly any forests to care for, while the abundant moisture from her surrounding seas, and her exemption from severe summer beats on account of her high latitude, prevent her from sufl'ering from the absence of trees as she otherwise would. ‘ \Vc have left ourselves space only to_ al- lude to the value of trees as shelters from injurious winds and from iimlarious influ- ences. The vicinity, of a forest, or even a l few rows of trees, is a great protection, not only to man and beast, but to growing crops, from violent or cold winds. Such a shelter belt often makes the difference be- tween success and failure to the liusand- men. The best observcm estimate that if one-fourth of the fields devoted to‘ngricul- turc were planted with trees, properly dis- tributed, the remaining three-fourths would yield as large returns of crops as are now gathered rrom thc whole,whilc tlic product of the trees iii fuel and timber would. be a clcar additional gain. Trees also, aside from the fact that they absorb carbonic acid and exhale 0X)’g0[l,£llltl so promote the salubrity of the atmosphere, are found to be very effective protection against mulurious influences. The planting of only a single row of trees has produced a perceptiny favorable effect. while belts of trees planted in the vicinity of pestilen- tizil marshes have rendered them no longer noxious to those living near them. It is pretty well settled now that for the I best interest of most countries, their health- fnlness, the greatest productiveness of their fields, and their general comfort and thrift, not less than a. fourth part of their area should be permanently in forest. \Vlicrevcr this proportion is not preserved, harmfull consequences sooner or later ensue. But in Europe the forests are cherished and cared for not only on this account, but as being one of the most important industrial re- sources of acountry. Science and art are employed not only to preserve a. proper amount of woodland for the best develop- ment of other interests, sanitary and econ- omic, out to produce the largest pecuniary returns from the forests themselves. The conditions for the best growth of the forest as a. diréct source of income are studied as carefully as are those for the growth of wheat or corn. By constant experiment and observation, in connection with the schools of forestry, it is ascertained what trees are best adapted to grow in particular soils or with particular pastures, which flourish best in a. moist and which in a dry asmospliere, which is elevated and which in low situations. It is found, also, that trees, like human beings, are not only social in their nature, and will grow better when planted together in masses than when obliged to grow single and apart from each other, but that they like a varied society; that inc, for instance, will flourish better, will ( cvclop in nature more fully, attain a. I grander stature and a. better quality, when planted in company with the oak, or other trees different in character from itself, than when it is limited totliecoinpnnionsliipof its own kind. The same is true of other trees, and it is only as the result of i). nice and protracted study that the affinities of trees or their preferences in this respect can be‘ determined. Then also, it has been found - that trees come to their best when a i-otu- l tion of crops is observed, as in the case of . the grains and grasses,nnd no the officers in charge of the governmental and other for- ‘ cats have it for one of their duties to dctcr- ' mine what classes of trees shall succeed each other, and in what order.

As the flooded streams go down the hill-sich they often become torrents, scooping out the earth itself as with Titan bands, tearing up rocks and trees, and bearing them down into the valleys below to cover fertile fields with this avalanche of debris and sterility, and literally drive the liusbandinen from their homes. These more serious effects of the removal of the forests we do not see very often in this country, partly because we have not yet cleared away the trees 80 extensively as they have in some other countries, and partly because we have a different geologic- al structure, and fewer lith mountains to produce tori-cuts as the rcsu t of the copious rains falling at such altitudes, and the rap- id melting of great masses of snow in spring- time. \\ e have enough, however, to Mar tratc the effect of the destruction of the for- cats in occasional floods of destructive character. and in the permanent diminution of the flow of streams. llardly ariver in our country runs with as full astrearuu it formerly had.

But in Europe and the fist of the Old World the moat fearful loucs from the rc~ moral of the forests are frequently incurred.

So important a pliicc have the forests come to occupy in the estimation of Euro- pean people, on account of their value as sources of fuel and lumber, as well as their relations to agriculture, to climate, and to health, that the care and management of them have become one of the most impor- tant employments of private land-holders, and to the many corporate bodies, includ- ing states and kingdoms, which are the possessors of forest domains. The state forests of France, for instance, amount to 3,000,000 acres, it is said, and yield an im- nual revenue of $3,000,000. Many of the provinces and departments also are large forest proprietors. Germany has about 35,000,000 acres in forest, nearly one-third of which belongs to the state, one-sixth to the communes, and somewhat less than one- balf to private individuals. Other Europe- an countries have larger forest areas, with correspondingly larger revenues. The re- cognizcd importance of the forest interest has led to the establishment in most Eu- r0 countries of what are known as sc ools of forestryâ€"institutions ranking in .importancc with our colleges and poly- technic schools. They furnish a course of instruction from two to trio and a half years in length. During these terms the pupils are expected to spend five ‘hours daily in study. and as many more irr a:- tcudance cpou lectures, or to do about twice the amount of work required in our colleges. Taking for illustration the school near Berlin, the faculty embraces a direct- or, who occupies the chair of formt science, with two assistants in the same department, a teacher of mathematics, physics. mechan- 1 ion, and meteorology, one of chemistrymiin- leralo , and geoguosy, one of botany, one of 100 ogy, and one of jurisprudence; and in addition. a royal forest other-rumin- , ant teacher of construction of roads, geod- . esy. and plan-drawing. and also a chemist 3 l as assistant teacher a eology. ’ It willbeaceu, even from such general states-cuts, that the instruction in these schools incluch not only the technical or ibotam'cal study of forests. but embraces [alsoa complete course in natural science 1 and mathematics, as well u. to I consider. {able extent. litici'sl economy. finance. and juris ence.

The plans, snvs Tl": London Times, will be the same as ob ilic occasion of the marriage of the Duke of Counaugiit. A covered uay will be erected at. the west cud of the chapel, where the queen, the bride, and the bridegroom. and all the wedding party will alight marziving at the chapel, and depart offer the ccrc- many. The stopslcadiug totlic western en- trnucc of the chapel willzilsobc covcrcd,aud the whole of the interior will be handsome- ly draped. ' At the top of the steps there will be waiting-rooms titted up for the accoiniiiodatiou of the queen and the bride and her attendants. Untlo south side of the chapel there will be a long cei‘ei‘cd wa ', throuuli which the carriages of the invited guests will drive to the south pOl‘L'll,tlll'I)u'.',ll which they will enter to the choir. 0n the north side there will be another covered way for the convenience of those who have the privilege of entry to the nave. On ’l‘ucsda ' the keys of St. George’s chapel will be delivered to the lord clianibevlniu, in order that the internal preparations may be pro- ceeded with, and from that date the daily services in the chapel will cease until after the ceremony. The comumnion rails will be. altered so as to afford additional room round the altar. The central suits of the choir will be removed, so as to allow the roval and bridal parties to walk up the centroiof have and choir to the altar. The guests will occupy the side stalls, and probably an extra. row of seats on each side will be provided. The side aisles of the nave will be rescued for. visitors, who will be admit- ted by the lord clmmberlnin's order. The choir will be accommodated in the organ loft. Sir George Elvcy will preside at the organ. A new march has been comprised for the occasion by M. Gounod.

The principal piece in the service is a mii'ror,\vitli a silver frame, :1 feet 7 inches by 1 foot 0 inches in size, a reproduction of Louis Seize work. The frame is an imitation, though not an exact. copy of one from Stowe now in the South hensington museum. The ornamen- tation of the frame consists of flowcrs,fruits and shells, etc. in repousse work, elaborate- ly chased, an appearance of lightness being given by piercing and allowing the mirror to show its parts through a. silver network of large mesli.Tlic backing is cbonizcd wood. There are, in addition, a. band-glass, a. pair of large hair brushes and tortoise-shell combs, but and coat brushes, all silver backcil,four cut glass globular toilct bottles, silver-gilt boxes, and beaker, em, making twenty pieces in all. On each piece is for crests monogram formed With the letter .L and crossed as a. mark of cudcncy with a label of which the points are charged with a. star and two hearts. Encircling this is the garter, with its motto, and, above a princely corouct composed of crosses pattce and flcui's-dc-lis alternately. An inscription engrava on the frame of the mirror runs : “Presented to his royal liiglmess the Duke of Albany, K. G., president of the Bache- lor’s club, on his umrriagc, by the members of the committee, March 14, 1882.” .«.1. .».. No More “Cash!” A Congregational clergyman in Chicago patented last December, an automatic cash- cnrricr which is already in use in one of the largest establishments in that city. Each clerk in the store has a hollow wooden bull marked with a number. These balls open in the centre by one twist the money and check are put inside and held by spriiies,so there will be no rattling, and the clerk puts the bull in a little elevator above her head and pulls a spring. )I I welcome and a full house wherever hr A Game of Leapfiog.

The "leapfrog "theory of human descenmvhicli “its really the subject of his discourse, in“ nothing less or more than that elaborated in Mr. Darwin‘s [)cseent 0} AIM: and this phase does not iuziptly characterize it after all. If the Darwinian theory be correct, it is evident that our progress from the condi- tion of our lowly ancestors has been norcni. plislicd by a series of astonishing lczips. Gradual and imperceptible change carried on through enormous periods of time may do wonders, no doubt, but the chasm which scpamtcsauacidifm grubfroniaNewton is too wide to be crawled over in that way in any- thing short of eternity. There must have been a good deal of leaping as well as crawling iii the accomplishment of such a progress. Besides, the breaks and yawning clinsms which are ever and anon found in the line of this descent, as revealed by the rocky register which has been preserved in the earth's crust,show that enormous leaps have actually been made, if the whole the- ory is not a matter of moonshine. Even the gap which so )arntcs a man from 11 mon- key is considerable, and there is not the slightest intimation in any record we have of the past, either natural or artificial, that this chasm has been passed in any other way than by a leap. If it was passed at llll, that, beyond pcmdvcnturc, was the way i" I which it was got over. , Mr. Herbert Spencer's substitute ful‘ the 5 God who has heretofore been sup fused to be I the First Cause of all things. and the crude tor of the world, when stated in his own words, is always apt to create a. good deal of amusement in an unsophisticated nudi- cucc. Evolution it is, of course, nccordiug l to the theory which this gifted geiitlcuuiii has elaborate-l with so much iiigcuuity,uiid so long its evolution is allowed to go with- l out definition the profound mystery in which it is wrapped invests it with it sort of dig- i nity to the ap frolieusion of the average lecture-bearer. lift evolutionis, Mr. Spen- cer tells us, “change from n state of indefi- nite incoherent homogeneity to u state of definite coherent heterogeneity, by contin- uous iliflercntintion’aud integration,” and i this sounds so much like nonsense to persons uiiacquuintcd with the technicalities of science, that they are sure to laugh, with. out stopping to enquire whether it is the folly of Mr. Spencer or their own ignorance that; they are laughing at. Of course Dr. Sullivan made a point by the quotation of this definition, but whether the point was for or against himself admits of difference of opinion. The definition, to those who understand its terms, we venture to believe â€"â€"thc laugh to the contrary notwithstanding â€"â€"is both adequate and exact; and such perhaps as scarcely (my other imn of the present generation but Mr. Spencer could have framed. As an account of what the author of tlic I'll-st l-‘rinciples lg; Philosophy I and his disciples understand by evolution, it is all that can be dcsxrcd. ‘ It is not the definition but the thing dc- fiucd, if anything that deserves to he laughed at, and even this if kept in its pl‘J' per place has nothing ludicrous or contempt- iblc about it. It is only when it is made an idol of and put into the place of a Personal (lod of infinite intelligence, power, and i moral perfection, tlmtit becomes ridiculous.

Now, what. asks l’rof. Ayr- ton, is to be done with this enormous elec- tromotivc force at the New York end of the wires? The solution of this problem, he snys,w:u also given by Sir W.

A young man was telling some of his ne- quuintauccs how be had gone back on his girl because she was sarcastic, and they ask- lle said that lie was spending the evening with her and be noticed that she seemed to be absent- mindcd or tired, or something. About 2 o’clock iii the morning he said she started up suddenly iii alarm, and exclaimed: ” My, what is that!” He said he didn’t hear any- 0 thing. and asked her what it sounded like, from the (.mâ€" lmn‘s and i and she thought maybe it was the milkmnn ( mung" Icoming with the milk. He said that was too sarcastic, and he would never go to sec . her again. Well, probably he couldn’t; suit licr any better. Some fellows overdo the thing entirely when they go to see a girl, and nothing will break them of the habit of ISCOIISWUCt' wearing out a girl like some sarcastic rc- OIW-“I/U’U" mark like that. Sometimes the father of l the girl will come to the head of the stairs land ask the girl if the morning paper has come, or if she will not tell her visitor to tell the bier girl when he gets ready to go. I sarcastic, but his conduct warrants it. There lis no girl who in well, and wants to keep no, that wants to sit up all night with an ordi- niiry young man. She has got to have some sleep or she in not worth tfic powder to blow her up. She can get all the information that. be has to impart iii iiix‘ hours, and every hour he stays after that isa dead loss. Some young fellows never know enough to go. They speak of it being time to goat ! )0 o’clock and the girl, to be polite, imyn : | "Oh, don't hurry away. It is early yet," and galoot thinks she means it, and he goes into camp for a few hours more, and all the time the girl is on nettlcu. seized with a cramp, iio Ibo would get out. She knows she will be the laughing stock of the whole family, and winiies he was in (ichcnae, but he stays M though he was nit. ting up with a corpse. No girl wants to seem impolite, and no one will yawn behind a handkerchief. or hiwli uneasily in her :cliair, and pray for relief, and when the stay-crdoes finally go, she will skip up stain three at a time and gives sigh of relief.
