ARTIFICIAL FORESTS OF EUROPE 



tional parks of California, the geologic 

 wonders of Yellowstone, and the speci- 

 mens of arctic fauna still living among 

 the matchless glaciers of Mount Rai- 

 nier, are national possessions of great 

 interest, for whose preservation not 

 only Americans, but distinguished Eu- 

 ropeans also, have pleaded. These, 

 then, are ours for their own sakes; 

 but most of our othei* national forest 

 possessions will undoubtedly have to 

 submit to further development and to 

 the dictates of a sterner necessity.
