Destruction of Forests. — A writer ir Harper's Magazine observes :—A countrj cannot continue to be populous or highlj civilised when its forests or their equiva lent in coal are lost to it. But this loss has been experienced by many nations. The whole Eastern world, as well as the countries of which we have spoken, were once wooded. The Roman and Greek writers assure us of this. But vast regions of Europe and Asia, by wars and wantonness and imprudence, have been stripped of their forests. A belt of woodland stretching from the Pyrenees to the Himalayas have been swept away, fand that whole region, once fertile and populous, now barely sustains a people scanty in numbers. It is a significant fact that great deserts now occupy the original sea: of the human race, and extend on every route of their migrations. Humbolt is reported as saying:—“Men in all climates seem to bring upon future generations two calamities at once ; a want of fuel and a scarcity of water.” The two come alike from the destruction of the forests.
