Changes of Climate.

Tbefollowing, from the Scientific Amer
scatn, contains some interesting facts, and
treats of very feeling subject, worthy o
careful Investigation
History informs US that many of the
countries Of Europe which now possesses
very mild winters, at one time experienced
severe cold during this season of the year
The Tibcr, at Rome, was often frozen O.
yer, and snow at one time lay for forty
days in that city. The Euxine Sea was
frozen over every winter during the time
Of Ovid, and the rivers Rhine and Rhone
used to be froznn SO deep that the Ice sus-
tanned loaded wagons. The waters of the
Tiber, Rhine and Rhone, now flow freely
every winter; ice is unknown in Rome,
and the waves of the Euxine dash their
wintry foam uncrystalized upon the rocks.
Some have ascribed these climate changes
to agriculture the cutting down of dense
forests, the exposure 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 pro-
duced on the climate of any country by
agriculture, and we are certain that no
such theory can account for the contrary
change of climate-from warm to cold
winters-which history tells US has taken
place in ether countries than those named
Greenland received its valleys and noun
tains and its east coast, which is now in
accessible, on account of perpetual ice
heaped upon its shores, was in the elev-
enth century, the seat of fourishing Sean
dinavian colonies, all trace of which is
now lost. Cold Labrador was named Vim
land by the Northmen, who visited it A.
d. 1000, and were charmed with its then
mild climate.
The cause of these changes is an i'm
portant inquiry. A pamphlet, by John
Murry, civil engineer, has recently been
published in London, in which he endeav-
ors to attribute these changes of climate
to the changeable position of the magnet
ic poles. The magnetic variation or de-
clination of the needle is we'll known
At the present time it amounts in London
to % degrees west north, while in 1868
the line of variation passed through Eng
land, and then moved gradually west un-
til 1916. In that year great removal
of ice took place on the coast of Greenland;
hence it is inferred, that the cold meri-
dian, which now passes through Canada
and Siberia, may at one time have passed
through italy, and that of the magnetic
meridian returns, as it is now doing, to
its old lines in Europe. Rome may once
more see her Tiber frozen over, and the
merry Rhinelander drive bis team on the
ice of the classic river. Whether the
changes of climate mentioned have been
caused by the change of the magnetic
meridian or not, we have too few facts be-
fore US at present to decide conclusively;
but the idea, once spread abroad, will
soon lead to such investig cations as will no
doubt remove every obscurity, and settle
the question.

A new kind of Roguery.

a trick was perpetrated upon two
honest countrymen last Monday, which
proves that there is something new--at
least in roguery-under the suu
As james Mahoney was standing in
market, with about half cart-load of
potatoes, he was accosted by respccta-
ble-looklng man, who, after little chat
fering about the price, finally agreed to
purchase them, if the owner would deliy-
er them at grocery store, which he a
verred be was the proprietor of. They
had driven about couple of blocks, when
the countryman was asked to stop, while
his companion went to house hard by
to get cloak which he had purchased
He was observed to enter some premises
near, but returned almost Immediately,
and in hurried manner inquired if the
countryman had five dollars about him
viii ch he'd let him have until they arrived
at the store
II havnt got so much" said the coun-
tryman, drawing out what change he had,
which amounted to between two and three
dollars.
"Well," said the purchaser, '1et me
have that" and he forthwith took it from
the hand of the unsuspecting potato mer-
chant, and entered the side entrance of
the house he had previously been in
After waiting upwards of five minutes,
the countryman proceeded to make in.
quires, and discovered that his quondam
acquaintance had passed through the yard
into the back alley in the rear. The game
was then evident, and the victim drove
back to market sad, but wiser man, mi
nus handful of small change.
Shortly afterwards, similar trick was
played upon an unsuspecting individual
who was standing with a load of bay
A man answering the description of the
before named sharper purchased the load
of hay, and, together, they drove up Elm
street.
"Stop," said the genius, "until I 90 in
to this house and get trunk of clothes
my brother left there"
Shortly returning, he asked the vender
of hay if be had FIVE dollars about him;
81 want to pay it to the woman of the
house." said he, "and I'll give you gold
piece when We get to the store"
The hay man thought it a good chance
to get one of Benton's mint-drops for a
rag, and willingly handed him five dol
lar Indiana bill.
"Hold on" said the stranger, perhaps
I'll have to get you to help me out with
the trunk"
The man did hold on, and might have
been holding on till doomsday, for the ac-
complished sharper had vanished through
the back entry,
Both parties entered complaints at the
station-house, but no clue could be form
ed which might lead to the detection of
this ingenious victinizer of hay and po-
tatoes.-Cjnctnnati Enquirer.

A Man Burned Alive,

1t is our painful duty, this week, to re-
cord one of the most sad and fatal casu-
alities which has happened in our vici1ety
for sometime past.
A stage driver of one of the line Of sta
ges between Tidioute and Franklin, as we
are informed, was taken with the small
pox few days since, and was conveyed
to shanty about half mile this side of
Tidioute, where he was lef; to the tender
mercies of a man who was hired to take
charge of him for the consideration of q
pint of ''whiskey" This man, for some
reason or other, absented himself from
the sbanty, for about half an hour, and
when he returned, found it almost wholly
consumed by fire, and all that was left of
the poor stage driver, were his scortcheG
and crumbling bones. How the fire orig
mated is unknown but disease had sto-
len away so much of the poor mans
strength, that he was unable to drag him
self from the building, and consequntly
fell victim to the raging element.-W,ar-
Te'e (Pa.) Ledger.
