lief Cor ana that the forests have a direct Influence on the rainfall, and on that account foreet preservation Is regarded as one of the most Important featuree of coon try Ufa.

The Finnish Mnate. Of course. It Is understood that no really representative Finnish assembly would be allowed to Wt In Helsingfors. But It Is ns much of course that the utterance* of any body that is allowed to sit do not deceive anybody in Finland. "Patriotic resolutions'' about the '•mighty Russian crown, under which Finland has gained mental and material development,” must be Intended to convince outsiders that the Finn* enjoy having their liberties tsken sway and the solemn promises confirmed by th» oaths of successive exars for a hundred years treated as waste paper, com menu the New York T*e» But outsider! are not to be deceived In that way either. Perhaps It is Russian opinion that it la desired to mislead. In which case alone the action of the Finnish senstt can be regarded assn In tell IgeiB adaptation of means to ends. • • • It l» quite possible that It was the greal white esar himself over whose eyes governor general endeavored to pull wool by ordering this latest evidence ol Finnish sentiment" to be prepared and •oted. Poor Nicholas Is very much exposed to that kind of deception by hU subordinates.

An ounce of memory would preveai many a pound of dlsastar.

Forests and ttalns. Meteorologists to-day doubt wbethsr the removal of forests has any effect upon rainfall, although they concede that It aocelerates the rate at w 1 water runs off from, mountain sidea. This is a very general assertion.- There are a great many meteorologists. It is a new science. If. Indeed, It can be called A science. It is In the experimental stage, with few fixed principles, and almost anyone Who has given any attention to the elements Is called a meteorologist. The belief that the removal of the forests has a material effect on the rainfall la very old and well-nigh universal It Is begotten of an experience extgM^t far back of the time whan meS&rology was gsnerally known

The Baltimore American says nature Itself, entirely disassociated with the work of man. furnishes the strongest prims facie evidence that the forests play a large part in the rainfall. In the southwest, where there are vaat deaerts created by the receding of the waters, alkali deaerts which In their present condition will grow no trees, and which are surrounded.by hills and small tains covered with forests, there is a rainfall over these deserts of about five Inches, while in the forest-dad hills and mountains the rain and snow fall about the average enjoyed by territory comfortably provided with forests. This is an experianes of centuries, extending over an immense stretch country. and appears to outweigh the experiments at two or three years upon which these meteorological doubts are

founded, but there are other proofs In tnre brtwera France
