FORESTS PREVENT FLOODS. They Are Really Natural Storage Reservoirs. It has been shown that forests pre- vent the rapid melting of ice and snow, and thus avert or modify floods in the spring. Mountains also play an important part with regard to floods. 13y intercepting drifting cur- rents_ of •moistiu'e-laden air moun- tains are active agents in precipitat- ing -rainfall; and, unless they are pro- tected by forests, the waters pour down into the valley in destructive torrents. The evergreen trees, particularly the spruces, are especially useful 'in controlling these torrents. Under ili spruce forests there is a large de- posit of what woodsmen call "duff." This is composed of.partially decayed trees, baric, needles, cones and mosses. This duff' varies from one to six feet in thickness, and has the power of absorbing and holding water like a sponge. During the heavy ,:spring, rains it becomes thoroughly saturat ed with water, which gradually oozes down the mountain sides into the streams in summer. The trees also protect the snowfall from the rapid action of the sun in spring, thus restraining floods from that source also. The protection of the forests there- fore is the surest and safest way in which to prevent destructive inunda- tions. They are really natural stor- age reservoirs, not holding back great masses of water in bulk, which may be released by the breaking of some dam and carry terrible destruction before them,` but storing it in the cap illaries of the spongy soil and •yield- ing it gently and continuously during the season when mod needed.

Nurse Maude Horn of :Drumrossie, Wellington Road, Stockport, England, who recently returned from Brussels, . where she WRs attached to Nurse Cavell's nursing home, describes the life of the heroine and her subsequent arrest. "It would be wrong to suppose that Miss Cavell's arrest came as a great surprise to her or to us," she says. "Her school had been search• ed time after trine without success, and Miss Cavell, who was much loved by those around her, was watched with some suspicion by the authori- ties for a considerable time. ""The arrest was effected quite quietly. Officers arrived in a motor car, a few questions were put and answered, and she was carried off, She wrote to me from prison. The letters, with practically all my be- longings, except the contents of a handbag, are still in Brussels. She seemed quite resigned. His father ordered that his son should not be treated in any way dif- ferent from his classmates, and to- day, as far as possible, the Emperor moves freely among his people. Personally, he is a man of great simplicity. He prefers to dress in European costume, photography be- ing one of his favorite hobbies. He is also an accomplished poet. His wife, Empress Sadako, is a woman of remarkable culture and accomplish- ment. The Emperor married in 1900, and has three children, all boys. It is interesting to note, by the way, that his father was the last Emperor of Japan to have a harem. According to the ancient custom, the Emperor of Japan is allowed a chief wife, or "Kogo," and twelve secondary wives, who are allowed separate establish- ments in the palace grounds, each having her own attendants. In the case of the "Koge" being childless, the children of the secondary wives would be acknowledged as legal heirs to the throne. Yoshihito himself is a child of a secondary wife, but hence- forth the Japanese royal family will be Western in so far as the succession to the throne is concerned. 4• world.

"Well, mum, to tell the troot, they're just louse me photographs. None of them don't do me justice." The hardest branch of learning grows on a birch :tree—says a school- boy. Her Last Letters. "Her letters were bright, and made it clear that she was glad to have the rest that the prison afforded. She said she had everything she could wish for except her liberty. She lit- tle thought that such a terrible pen- alty awaited her, and we at the school Were dreadfully distressed when rye heard the awful news of her death, The shock was terrible. "The German authorities apparent- ly convinced themselves of Miss Cay.. ell's guilt by what was described as the confessions of a Pole. He told the Germans he had represented him- self as a Frenchman, and had stayed a night under Nurse Cavell's roof. This Pole was apparently trapped ie. his endeavors to cross the frontier, and was no doubt pressed hard for a confession.'" Saw Germans Enter. Nurse Horn was in this country when war broke out, but in response to a telegram she hastened to assist Nurse Cavell. She saw the Germans march into Brussels, and says if it had been rehearsed a hundred times it could not have been done with more precision. There are now signs that money is scarce, and German officers display less opulence. There are fewer elab- orate motor cars. Brussels people seem to think that General von Kiss- ing dos not represent the tyorst type of. German officer, anti that matters might even be worse with another Governor. Life, however, is very re- stricted, and the city has lost all its' old reputation for gaiety.
