Again, the absorbing qualities of the forest floor are very much greater than in the open. The soil is loose and is covered with leaves, moss and decay- ing timber. The roots of the trees serve as pipes to carry the water down deep into the soil. In this way a great natural reservoir is formed whose outlets are the thousands of perennial springs and brooklets that. evenly and continu- ously go to feed the larger streams ancl these again the great rivers of the‘countn'.

It is then carried by the air currents till it meets with a colder temperature when it condenses. Its density is then increased so that tho atmos- phem is no longer able to sustain it and it tolls to the ground in the form of min, hail or snow. Now, it is obvious that the great- est evaporation, other conditions being eqml, will be where there an: the greatest. bodies of water. and a little reflection will also convince us that precipitation will be greatest J~_â€" _A_.-4- The precipitation is greater on mountains than an the low‘ lying land in the vicinity. This land ele- vated high above the surrounding country intercepts the air currents fully surcharged with vapour. which at these cooler heights is about at the point 01 condensation and the result is that a very large amount of moisture is deposited there where gravity again resumes its iunctions to convey the water back again to its home in the sea.
