GOVERNING THE Temperature.
THE RKy, l.. D. VOOLFOLK,
Of Lexington, Ky., lectured last night At tho
First Baptist Church, bofoso tho Art Circle Or
gantzsd by members Of tho congregation. The
| problem which ho dfscuasol 'A4 tho possibility
| Of method for bringing The currents OF tho At
| mosphsrs. and tho utorma which they produce,
under tho control OF man.
The ieoturor began BY stating that tho tem-
south wind bttnGs tho warmth Of sunnter
cline, rho the uorth wind brings arctic cold.
II the aouth wind could bo kopt blowing all win.
ter over the continent, The weather would be
constantly warm.
He tbon showed that tho south wind ia aiwa7s
on tbs nuFfece OF the eartli, except during
storms And oven during storms that tho north
wind nsrsr has hnt one track ~ once. and that.
at an points away from tho storm-track The
south wind is blowing upon. the surface. Con-
eequonlly, II man CON make = track for tho
north Wind, and keep It thoso, he can by tllis
means keep the sonth ulnd on tho aurf1cs a. all
Storms were simply tho result OF \ conflict be-
tween these two currents,-tho ono passing
toward tho pols. the other toward the equator.
Il mas plain that tho stratum OF warm air Along
polc, must be compresacd together. and tho two
opposite currents, npon moetlnk, we're, 80 10
apeak, banked up aRalnst each other, and tho
smaller. but moro easils concentrated, SOUTH
ward current maker for itself breach. This
was efIected aomatimos BY electricity, but far
more frequently by mechanical process, tho
result OF pressure.
He theh proceeded to show how \ cannonado
always brcska . track for thu nur.h wind, and
cited many instauces whero battles had caused
an eruption Of the polar current, and also
showed, by facts, that wheu ono continent rms
thus ravasod BY The borcal wind, tie other con-
tinenta Ws.o bathed 10 the genial warmth Of tho
south Wind. He said that tho Pacific Ocoan In
tho boot track for tho polar current, and pro-
poned to keep It those BY caunon-tlrinR upon
tho Ncssern,ost Of tho Aleutian Islnnds. lie was
ooquent 10 depicting tbs effect Of thus keeping
open tho boreal track IN the Pacific. Tho dts-
eFts Of Asia and America would ba visited with
seasopablo rains; warm wtnds would blow up
tho Atlantic into tho Atctie 0ccau, bearing boz
fore them tropical waters, until tho Arctic
coasts, anept with tropical winds, would be.
como haeisab|s. and the Arctic seas Noodod
With tropical ais Aud tropical waters, would be-
coma tho highway Of commerce, and vosaelA
