Danger From Dennding the Sierra Nevadas of Their Trees. The san Francisco Post has a welleonsidered and practical article on the danger of deforesting the western flanks of the Sierra Nevada mountains. It says: If thoughtful people in California will visit the forests of the State where lumbering operations are carried on, they will be convinced that the forest areas will remain in their primitive condition for a brief period only. Modern methods of handling the logs from the trees in the woods, and improved machinery for cutting these logs into lumber must, to be fully ap‘preciated, pass nnder personal inspection. b The silver mines of Mexicoand South America by the old methods of mining appeared to be practically inexhaustible. Tbe ore was carried out of the mine on the shoulders of peons who climbed ladders constructed in the main shaft. Drifts and tunnels were cut through the rocks by the patient picking of steel edges, unreinforced by the terrible effectiveness of modern explosives. A vast deposit of ore was found in what was known as the Comstock Lode on the side of Mouat Davidson, in Nevada. Worked by these ancient methods of silver mining that lode contained ore enough to last five hundred years, but it was exhausted in less thun twenty-five years. Dynamite, the diamond drill, powerful steam hoisting works, gigantic pumping plants; and the intelligent direction of modern mechanical forces brought a vast treasure of precious metals from the heart of the earth, and accomplished in a few years what in former times would have been the task of centuries. We have a case completely analogous to this in the methods of deforesting our timber lands, What the diamond drill and dynamite were to the boring of tunnels in the bowels of the earth the traction engine is as an instrumentality for destroying a forest. What the powerful hoisting works and pumping machinery were to the Comstock lJode the modern band-saw is to the conversion of trees into lumber. The question arises, What does the destruction of the forests mean? It means in the first place the inauguration of a condition of aridity. It means the diminution of the annual rainfall. It signifies the creation of a destructive torrential character in all the streams of the State, in the early spring time, and the subsidence of these tloods to dry sand bars in the summer and fall months of the year. The forests are producers of rain. If the evidence was wanting to establish this fact, it would be supplied to the thoughtful mind in the obvious statement that rain produced the forest. Every effect of every cause becomes in its turn a cause. The incipient fertility of the earth produces vegetation, and the decomposition of this vegetation reinforces the fertility in a constantly augmenting ratio until tropical luxuriance of vegetation results. Thus the original fertility as a cause is reinforced and augmented by the effect it produces. But there are more obvious and less metaphysical reasons for attibutiug to forests a reinforcement of the annual rainfall. Precipitation results when a body of saturated air passes from a warmer to a colder condition. If a body of air saturated to eighty degrees at a temperature of seventy-five degrees passes through a region where by reason of local: temperature its temperature descends to sixty degrees, the saturation rises beyond the point of precipitation and rainfall results. ; The reverse of this istrue. If a body of saturated air passes from a colder to a warmer condition, the air expands, and not only is there uo precipitation but the air is in no condition to take up more moisture. Whben Mr. Harmon presented his very plausible theory concerning the influence of the temperature of the Japan current upon the rainfall on the western coast of the United States, its strongest attribute of probability rested in the fact that a high temperature over the. Japan current and a low temperature over the land were conditions necessarily precedent to rainfall. For this reason, when the Japan current reached our northwest coast at a high temperature rain was inevitable, because that temperature was higher than the temperature of the land. Tis well-known fact in meterological science has application to the forested condition of a country. Heat is radiated from the bare earth. Hence the temperature over a broad desert or arid plain is much higher than that to be found overa forested area. The rays of the sun shining on the forest are not radiated to the extent observable on an open plain. Hence the atmosphere over a forested region is cooler. In this condition bodies of saturated air passing over the forest will precipitate the moisture they hold in suspension, whereas in passing over the open plains of an unforested or deforested region they will expand by reason of the high degree of temperature which puts them in condition to absorb rather than to precipitate moisture. If we can imagine the entire’ western ffink of the Sierra Nevada moyntiangs denuded of forest and presenting bare rocks and arid surfaces, such as would necessarily be left by the aridity of our summer months, the bodies of saturated air upon which we depend for rainfall during the rainy season would press over the unforested portion of the flank of the mountain, and but a portion of their moisture would be precipitated in form of snow at the summits. Thus the annua! percipitation which is caught and held in the soil of the forest duriug the rainy season wonld pass on and over the summits and as much of snow. The early spring and summer conditions would melt this snow and the.mountain streams would become raging torrents. ‘he San Joaquin and Sacramento rivers, the two great centra] drainage channels of the interior basins, would present flood maxima far greater than have ever been observed, and possibly incc nceivable under present conditions. These flood waters would pass away. The beds of these streams would become dry. The local evaporation which now influences the temperature of these valleys would be absent. A higher temperature than has ever been known would result, and thus we would have destructive inundations inthé months of February, March, April and May, to be followed by dry weather and intolerable tropical heat in the summer. The people of California need soberly to ask themselves the question as to whetber they are not destroying the State. As found by the American settlers, California presented the richest and most extensive natural resources ever found on an equal area of the surface of this earth. We-have in the relation of the mountain to the valleys the ideal condition for artificial fertilization by irrigation. We have in the forested region of the western flank of the Sierras, from ‘Tehachapi to Shasta, the ideal rain producer, a conservator of the river stagesthroughout the season. The destruction of the forests means the destruction of the State. Shall this destruction proceed?

In this condition bodies of saturated air passing over the forest will precipitate the moisture they hold in suspension, whereas in passing over the open plains of an unforested or deforested region they will expand by reason of the high degree of temperature which puts them in condition to absorb rather than to precipitate moisture. If we can imagine the entire’ western ffink of the Sierra Nevada moyntiangs denuded of forest and presenting bare rocks and arid surfaces, such as would necessarily be left by the aridity of our summer months, the bodies of saturated air upon which we depend for rainfall during the rainy season would press over the unforested portion of the flank of the mountain, and but a portion of their moisture would be precipitated in form of snow at the summits. Thus the annua! percipitation which is caught and held in the soil of the forest duriug the rainy season wonld pass on and over the summits and as much of snow. The early spring and summer conditions would melt this snow and the.mountain streams would become raging torrents. ‘he San Joaquin and Sacramento rivers, the two great centra] drainage channels of the interior basins, would present flood maxima far greater than have ever been observed, and possibly incc nceivable under present conditions. These flood waters would pass away. The beds of these streams would become dry. The local evaporation which now influences the temperature of these valleys would be absent. A higher temperature than has ever been known would result, and thus we would have destructive inundations inthé months of February, March, April and May, to be followed by dry weather and intolerable tropical heat in the summer. The people of California need soberly to ask themselves the question as to whetber they are not destroying the State. As found by the American settlers, California presented the richest and most extensive natural resources ever found on an equal area of the surface of this earth. We-have in the relation of the mountain to the valleys the ideal condition for artificial fertilization by irrigation. We have in the forested region of the western flank of the Sierras, from ‘Tehachapi to Shasta, the ideal rain producer, a conservator of the river stagesthroughout the season. The destruction of the forests means the destruction of the State. Shall this destruction proceed?
