Much has been written both in Ger
many and in America of the forest and
its influence on climate, and consequently
<>n agriculture, on tho water courses and
- on health. Instances whore tho growth
or destruction of forests have hod a
marked influence on the river systems,
through tho rain-fall, ran be recorded by
tho storo, not only in Kuropo but in the
United States. Tho diminution of the
water volume of tho Ohio river is at this
moment altractingscrioua attention. In
the first quarter of tho century it was
navigable tho whole year for tho largest
vessels, but is now available bat for six
months in the year, and growing - beau
tifully lees.” Tho sumo thing is said of
tho Hudson, ns I find in nu American ar
ticle handed u.o tho other day in the
congress. " It is notorious )hat," says
my authority. “ even with our vast nor
thern forest remaining intact, tho water
supply of the Hudson grows less with
erory year, and its navigation morn and
more difficult. Hut. for the largo annual
outlays for tho improvement of its chan
nels and tho construction of artificial
remedies, tho tipper portion of tho river,
between Now Baltimore and Troy, would
long einoo have been practically cloeod to
commerce.” These nro not isolated cases
with us, and I trust Professor Marsh will
include in tho now edition of his Man
and Nature a work largely quoted by
German writers on the influence of the
forest—all tho casos of diminishing riv
ers that have boen noted in the various
Slates. When tho results of deforesta
tion aro soon and appreciated os
aliow themselves nl home, then wo shall
l.e ready to learn from the experiences
of these older and still worse deforested
countries of Kuropo. though, for the
matter of that, Europeans point to Amer
ica for evidences of deforestation in tho
Now England States and olsowhcre, as a
warning to their own countrymen.

An Italian referred to tho United
States in this relation yesterday. He
gave no jurticulars, however, and J liave
no works on American forests to uid me
in adducing them hero. But then we
have scoros of striking eases of the effects
of deforestation on tho rivers of Europe,
proving tho necessity of international
treaties for protecting the sourocs of the
great water arteries, ffs n.-od only refer
to the lihino, the Elbe and tho Oder, all
of which have a lower water-mark than
formerly. Aocording to measurement*

Bohoinia on the one hand and Switzer

with tho navigation of thoao rivers did
they choose to carry on tlio destruction
of tno forests as heretofore. It is in such
cases that the want of international trea
ties ore seen. Prussia how elf and most
of the Gorman States aro rational forest
culturiftts, taking good caro to preserve
and cultivate their forests,andhnvs pood
cause to prot-ent against the forest enmos
committed by their neighbors.

Many riven have totally disappeared
or have been reduced to*mere streams by
an irrational and heinous felling of the
forests. In the northeast of Germany the
JTarp and Gold rivers exi.-t only in name.
Tho #la*sio buiibi of antiquity are rieh in
sad lasso ns pf daforostatioo. *The springs
and brooks of Pslostliio are dry, and the
fruitfulness of tho la nil had disappeared.
Tho Jordan is four feet lower tlian it was
in U* Hoar TmIwM day*. Greece and
Spain suffer to this day severely iromtho
effect* of destroying their forests. Many
parts of the Kingdom of Wurteiuberg
nave been rendered almost barren by the
felling of the trees. In Hungary the pe
riodically returning drought is universal
ly attributed to tlio extermination of the
forest. Wo attribute the present uiifruit-
fulnass of Asia Minor and Greece to the
destruction of tlio woods; steppes, mins
and tombs have taken tho pku o of wiiat
vai the highest culture. Sardinia and
Sicily were once the granaries of Italy,
but have long since lost tha thlitfulflow
sung of by tho ancient j>octa. On the
other hand man can improve tho condi
tion of the land in which ho lives, more
slowly indeed, but equally as certainly, j
by cultivating and prosexving the forests.
In earlier years reliable authorities have
told us that in the Delta of Upper Egypt
there ware only fire or siz days of nun m !
the vear, bnt that since the time when j
Meheuiet Ali caused some 30,000,000 of I
trees to bo planted tho number of days
of rain in the year has increased to forty- ;
ti*.v i r forty-six. Tiic S-.u. c'.eul 1* ts

and once such a rain storm that the na

Austria herself has a very >triki:
Ktaace *»f a change of climate being pr«

We refer to that stretch of miles of coun
try over which tiie nilroad passes, near
Trieste, a* you go from Austria to Italy,
bleak, barren, stony, with hardly earth
vniScicnt for a weed to take root in, a
stretch of uarrennes^ on which some
dread anathema seems to rest. It is a
curse that rests on it called down from
Haven by man. Five hundred years ago
and an immense forest stood on the
ground where now is nothing but a sea
of stone. Venetians came and they
hewed down the forest in order to procuor

Congren refers are apparently indispen-
sable in the houaeliold of nature to pro
tect eea m, t . . .j -1 ] and tec
iDoimtain valleys. The MXi-ts of the
prexlnce of Prussia, with tho exception of
fruitful, omberrich danfland, are
almost uninterrupted broad strip of sand-
dune (down) 200 miles long and perhaps
a mile broail, with sand hills reaching to
a height of 170 feet. Originally these
■and mounds, which were apparently a
work of nature to protect the land again.it
the encroachments of the sea. were cov
ered with pino growths. In the past
centuries trees wero felled. Soon the
sparse vegetation died off and the sand
drifted away, and on careful examination
proved that these very sand hills, «hich
under their forest rover stood firm as sen
tlni'ls, receded at the rate of from fifty
a hundred feet per year. In tho course
of the past century and the first decades
of the present whole villages and tbous-
aands of acres of fruitful land were thus
buried by tho drift sand. At the com'
men' ment of this century the work ol
reforesting commenced, and at present
there are but few sandy points on the
coast which are not mado firm, excepting
those belonging to communities and pri
vate persons, and not the Etatc. Wher
ever on sandy coasts the forests are de
stroyed
tux ska rncaoAciixs
with slow but torriMo certainty. Where
tho rocky coasts are deforested bleak,
rocky ljorrennesa is left, and tho desort
district encroachea inland with every
year. Deforest the mountains and the
valley it shelters suffers in tho loss
fruitfulness and from the inundations
which a well wooded mountain would
prevent, by chocking the sudden rain
downfall. Switzerland has suffered se
verely from the effects of deforesting the
mountains. Professor Ksndolt, whospoko
to tho International Congress, attributes
tho devastations caused in tho Alps by
avalanches and land slides to the destruc
tion of tho forests. Tho poet Schiller
attributes to the forest tho post of guar
dian when in his “William Tell,” little
Walter says:

Of all central European countries
Switzerland occupies the most important
position as regards tho preservation of
the forests, considering that in her moun
tains are the sources of two of tho great
est rivers of this continent. Bat nowhere,
perhaps, hits tho devastation of tho for
ests been carried on so recklessly, and
ocntnrioa of careful cultivation will not
make good what thu post few generations
have sinned. Professor Landolt attributes
iUe feariui inundations which took place
in Switzer land in September and October,
lSf.N, to the destruction of the forests on
the inonntains. Sanmire. in his "Voyages
dans les Alps” says that from 1779 to
1796 Lakes Ncutchutcl, Biel nnd Murtcu
constituted a singlo sheet of water, but
•ince tbo destru-tion of tho surrounding
forests have so far sunk ns to form three
•listinct lakes. The herds aro the great-
••st foes on the mountains to tlio new
growths of wood; lint tho truth is that
the people themselves are intensely ig-
norart of tho value of trees to them and
their well-being. Tho people, especially
the herdsmen, look upon trees a- common
property. Of late years there has been
considerable agitation in favor of preserv
ation and culture of the forest. The same
limy bo said of Italy, where, some years
ago. the academies of Florence. Milan,
Modena, Palermo and Pisano offered pre
miums for tho boat methods of reforest
ing mountain surfaces.
It was easy, unfortunately, to fill col
umn after column with such cases of
I'XVO ax STATION AND ITS DANEI'l'L El'rXCT.
More difficult by far it is to adduce
cases where tho forest lias proved of dt
root striking benefit, os it is not long
since jmople began to think tho forests
were of no use at all. The cases of
Egypt nnd Trieste, and of Salt Lake, are
valuable to ns. We have not touched
upon the important influences which tho
forests are admitted to have, or the gen
eral sanitary condition of the country.
We know that tho health of Homo suffers
under the haneful miasmas arising from
t’io Gampagna, which was formerly cov
ered with forests, and it has been pro
posed to bring it to its original condition.
Tho question of forest culture as it must
present itself to us sooner or later, is nn
all-important one. And wo liave every
thing to learn before making the at
tempt ; for. as a member of the Vienna
Congress remarked. Europe cannot offer
any data, since she is herself a scholar.
But we know that a climate becomes
milder and warmer and more fit for Imb
ibition by thinning the forests by tho
progress of agriculture; bnt beyond a
certain limit we cannot go. AVe have
yet to find out this just mean. One fact
wo can accept from the hands of this and
former congresses, that it is nbsolutclv
necessary, to preserve tho forests at
the sources of our streams, on
which so much of our agricultu
ral and commercial prosperity de
pends; that wo should preserve the for
ests in all the mountain sides, so that the
vulture of the valleys be tempered and
preserved. Ono speaker of tho Vienna
Congress urged that the State should in
nil oases bo the possessor or have control
of forests which are acknowledged to be
"guardian forests,” on the sea shore, on
the mountains or at the source of rivers.
It is indeed hardly probable tlmt private
parties can be got to preserve tracts of
rarest "forth©public good." The landed
proprietor demands interest for his capi
tal invested, and forests p.iv but small
returns. The good produce.! is for the
community of tho Stare, or for tho entire
land, and it seems only just that the
State should take upon i'tsclf the <luty of
preserving and culturing those forests
which are rendered necessary to the
State's welfare. The subject of forests
is one of great importance to us. AVe re
gret that our authorities r.t Washington
did not *00 fit to have us fitly represented
hunt at the Congress.
Ernst Han't* Arndt, the Germnn poet
and patriot, uttered » great truth when
he * ;:d that the axe applied to the root
of a tree-was, in too many eases, an axe
laid to the well-being of the people.
