CHANCES OF CLIMATE.-Thc following.
from the Sientifc American, contains some
interesting facts, and treats of very feel
ing subject, worthy of careful investigation
History informs Us that many of the
countries OF Europe, which now possess
very Mild winters, at one time experienced
severe cold during this season of the year
The Tiber, at Re ne, was often frozen over.
and snow ut one time lay for forty days in
that city. The Euxine sea was frozon
over every winter during the time of Ovid.
and the rivers Rhine and Rhone used tobe
frozen 50 deep that the ice sustained loaded
wagons. The waters of the Tlber, Rhine,
and Rhone now flow freely every winter;
ice IS unknown in Rome, and the waves OF
the Euxlne dash their wintry foam uncrys-
tallized upon the rocks. Some have ascri-
bed these climate changes to agriculture,
the cutting down of dense forests, the ex-
posure Of the upturned soil to the summers
sun, and the draining Of great marshes We
do not believe that such great changes could
have been produced on the climate of any
country by agriculture, and we are certain
that no such theory can account for the
contrary change Of clmate-from warm to
cold winters-which history tells us has
named. Greenland received its name from
the emerald heritage which once clothed its
valleys and mountains; and its east coast,
which is now inoccessible, on account of
perpetual ice heaped upon its shores, was,
IN the eleventh century, the seat offiourish-
ing Scandinavian colonies, a Il trace Of which
is now lost. Cold Labrador was named
Yinand by the Mortimer, who visited it
A. ID. 1000, and we're charmed with its then
mild climate.
"The cause Of these changes is an i'm
portant inquiry A pamphlet, by John Muir
ray, civil engineer, has recently been pub.
lished in London, III which he endeavors to
attribute these changes Of climate to the
changeuble position Of the magnetic poles.
The magnetic variation or declination Of
the needle is we'll known. At the present
time it amounts, in London, TO 80 degrees
west north, while in 1858 the line of vari- /
alton passed through England, and then |
moved gradually west until 1916. In that |
year great removal Of ice took place on /
the coast of Greenland; hence it is inferred |
that the cold meridian, which now passes |
throuSh Canada aud Siberia, may at one 7
time have passed through Italy, and that ii I
the magn til meridian returns, as it is now /
doing. 10 liz old lines in Eur :, Rome may T
once more see her Tiber frozen oyer and I
the merry Rhinelauder drive his team on I
the ice OF his classic river.
"Wh' ther the changes of climate men,
toned have been caused by the change Of /
the magnetic meridian or not, we have too .
few facts before US az present to decide +
cunclusively but the idea once spread
abroad, will soon lead to such Investigations
as will, no doubt, remove every obscurity,
and settle the question:"

I'LL pressly tor families, delicate and appro-
pirate food for all seasons, and one OF the most
economical nutritious, and wholesome prepare
tions ever brought 10 the table. eminently COM
bining the qualification of the palate with ample
and healthful sustenance of the body.
Strictly speaking, Heckers' Farina is neither
stringent nor laxative, but restorative, strengen-
ing the digestive and absorbent system. In dis
ordered bowels, diarrhae, dysentery, and even in
cases of cholera, when food is deemed admissible
by the physicians, Heckers' Farina cannot fail to
be saluiary; and wherever known is extensively
used in pitfalls and private practice. The pres
ervation of health or the prevention of sickness
is at least as important as the curing OF disease.
People in health should therefore use Heckers'
Farna freely, as common food 10 preserve the in
estimable blessing.
