Vienna's Crown of Green.

The city of Vienna has recently undertaken, at an estimated expense of 110,000,000, to surround Itself with a bolt of forests. The existing forests near the city are to be preserved, and others, together with broad green meads, are to.be established in such a way as completely to encircle the dty. Land is being reserved for the new plantations, which are to be connected with the celebrated Prater, Which already forms a gredn border for the Austrian capital on the east This idea is enthusiastically urged for the beautifying of the suburbs of other cities, which are now, in many cases, not only unattractive, but often hideous. i
