When we roinember the vast extent of thu

As te the harmful elfecls of such a wholu whelu wholu
sile devastation of our forests there ran Is no
detihL It Is only a few years since careful
observations have been madu In the matter
lu this Jceuntry, yut the ovldence is over
whelming. Taku this from the stale of New
Hamtisulroaletio 5 "A small stream in the
state, in the town of lUchmeiid, iu lbOj, lur
nished iioiveraiilllcleut ler lour saw mills
nearly all the ye tr. It began te dry up as
tlie cutting el the timber cemmenced iu Its
vicinity, aud tne water and the weeds new
linvetllsapiiuareil togethor. In the adjoining
towns or Fltzwllliam mid Hiiidgn thu same
results have beeu roached. Well-known
trout streams, ence well stocked with lish,
are new dry ene half or the year, the ground
having boceino treeles. In Chesterfield the
Hew of the streams is ropertod as mero
irregular than iu early times. The same is
true of the stre-ims about Nashua. The
Merrimae river, se Important ler manufac
turing purposes, Is pretected Irem great
variations in Its voluine from month te
month, by means of large ponds and dams,
but ene or the eldest Inhabitants or Franklin,
whohaseb'onod the rlier for sixty jears,
thinks Its volume has diminished ene leurth
lu that period. Oue who has gii ou much at
tention te Iho subject, Is conhdent that the
water In the Contoocook rlier has decreased
one-thlrd, evon within twenty years, and
that its tributaries have fallen elf still mero.
At Hannever, It is said the Connecticut river
for many yean has been decreasing In vol vel
u me, and with increasing rapidity thotiiuber
from Its headwaters has been Hunting by. In
Canaan, sixty llve jearsnge, thore were nlne
or mero mills; abundant water-power all
the year round ; no thought of reservoirs,
double dams, or procautiensagalust drought.
A native of thu place, returning afler an

hew eloquent nnd urgent tlielr warning 1
If the liosterginlrod Furopem countries
observations h no been Hindu and rWxirded
for a longer period, and ihe evidence Irem
them is most striking. Here, for oxample,
Is ene witness that may be regarded as a
typical case. In the commuue of l.ibru l.ibru
guteiie in France is a forest in which rises n
stream along w hlch nre located a number el
fulling mills, each requiring eight horse herso horse
powor, nnd worked by water peller. This
commuue disregarded the forestry ltws, cut
away its forest en inciting it Inte an uumense
waste, se that this great preicrty would
hardly pay thocest of guarding it and atlerd
a meagre supply ler its iuhahitauts." Hut
that was net all. The following Is the further
statement of the 1 rench stio-lnxpecter et
forests, printed lu the Ami ties Srienees
several ears age : "While the forest was
ruined und the soil denuded the waters after
each heaiy ralu swept down through the
valley, bringing with them great quantities
of gravel, thu dobriset which still eucuin burs

these Meeds was Kuuetimes be gte.it that they

convenience madu Its appearance. Little by
llttle the drought extended, the tleii" of
water became lusiguiticaut, the mills steed
Idle or could be run only occasionally for n
short tlme." This was previous te IslO.
Then the authorities bestirred themselves.
The work of replanting the trees was com cem cem
eonced aud diligently prosecuted. Te day
the w hole forest is restored aud Iu igoreus
grew th. Mark the results .
"In proportion ns tlie replanting i.rogross i.regross i.rogress
ed, ' says the BUb-mspecter, "Iho precarious
use of the mills ceased aud the region et the
water courses was greatly meditlud. They
new no longer a el led into sudden aud vio
lent Heeds, compelling the mactiiues te step,
but the rise did net begin until six or eight
hours alter the rain began. They rose stead
ily te their maximum, aud thou subsided in
the same maimer. In abort the mills were
no longer obliged te step work, and the
water was alwajs eneugh te run two fulling
machines, and souietliiies three."
If welu thlscouutryure net wlse enough

us by Kuiope, such experiences as the aboie
and worse ones, mero oxpensive ones, will
be ours tee. Indeed we are already haying
them ; aud they are bound te get mero and

Te transgress thorn is te deem oursulves and
