In a recn.t nuiuhcr of Lift Illustrated,
. over iho aigrmturoof ' Uluir," in Note and
(Jiifrica, occur ihe following question -,
'What lellm cnnse of prairie without tim
ber, or the bott ihoory on the subject f
Having resided ft number of year in
the prairie couniryof the Weal, "he anno
Inquiry haa often srixpn in my itiiiiJ, nnd I
would here, in answer, alate the conclusion
10 which I have arrived on the ubjct.
It iVan rminiuii hold by many that the
prairie regiou of the West wm once cover
d br (he water of great inluud set or
lake, and that, in process of time, g ge.
logical catites, it wai elovated to its pres
ent level. The theory is alao supported
hj tho fact Unit in many places there have
lcen found at various depths beneath the
surface, remains of different kinds, but
specially leaves of tree, bnrk, cinder, etc.
There appear to bo two principal causes
for the exiatonceof pmiiies in their present
utitte. Those are t lie elm sod of I he pral
. -riv grsa, wlticli tends to prevent the ger
ruination tnfl growth of the seed nf trees ;
and the Gres which in the uninhabited
parts ae frequently sweep over tin country
nd destroy the young trees which have
succeeded insiublinbinj themselves In the
toil.
Those view are sustained by various
TPawna. The soil of the woodland that
skirt the iprw'rioa ia mnnly of different
quality from the prairie soil, and tLus more
Juvorable Is the growth of tree Ihnn of
grass. Lying along the blufla which follow
;tlie count of stream, it is more broken
and hilly. It Is nUo ef a poorer quality,
Wing mora exposed lo the washing of the
rains. Again, where the country is set
tied and 'She fires Mcludud, we frequently
nbscrvo a thick growth of briers nnd Imzel.
These s soon choked out by the hardy
plum and crab-npplo, which latter in tine
give place to the slill moro flourishing for
jest trees. Sometimes the brier or hnzel
coinpoio the strip next the open prniiie
interior of this, and nearer the timber, the
'plum, block-haw, nnd crab -npplo are found;
then come the young forest trees, and final
iy the full-grown limber. We have seen
quite exlensivo tracts undergoing iliis pro.
cesi of transformation. The faots here
given are sufficient to convince our own
.mind, although wo do not claim thai the
opiuiuii expresned would stand the teat of
a moresuienlifio investigation.
Nkw Mail TiuNsroRTATiuN. We see
it slated that 1. S. R;chardaon, of Rnston,
La renewed his polilion to Congress for an
appropriation of $173,000, to enable him
, to carry out his grenl project of trunsport
ing tho mails between Huston nnd VVntli.
ington in an hour's timo, by the application
"of atmospheric pressure. Mr. Richardson's
plan is cheap, siinjdo and feasible. (In
proposes to Iny down an iron pipe two feel
in diameter, between distant cities. In this
pipe tho mail bag are fusloiicd to a piston.
'The pibton is moved to and fro by the ao
tion of a stenm air pump placed at each end
of tho pipe The velocity of the piston
will of con rhe depend on tho movements f
the air pump. I!y increasing its pressure
wo can easily reach a velocity of two lain
dreil mile an hour. Kichnrdvon'g plan has
been before tho country some five years..
; Everybody admin th.it it work well, yet
mobody comes forward with necessary funds
to put this wind instrument in motion.
