A man can fall down ON roller skates

AT recent meeting of the Dulwich
IEngland College Geological Club,
Mr.. b. G. jenkins read a paper ION
the Origin OF Waves of Cold The
object of the paper was to show the
very remarkable effect of the planet
Venus upon the earth. Many wears
ago the present Astronomer ROYAL
proved that the disturbing effect of this
planet was SO great that the earth was
materially pulled out of its orbit. Mr..
Jenkins shows that i: is to this disturb
ing action we must look for an ex-
PLANTATION of the cold waves which roll
through the atmosphere on SIN average
every eight years-as in 1929, 1887,
1915, 1855, 1860, 1871, 1S79-and that
for the next forty years the temperature
will be below the average, as it has
during the past forty years been above
the average. With regard to high tenn
perature, he stated that for the last
fifty years heat wave has been observed
10 pass over the earth every twelve
years, nearly and contemporary with
the arrival of the planet Jupiter about
perihelion. and that we are on the eve
of The next heat wave.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-Several days ago
the Postmaster General received letter
from the attorney of the Russian Consul
General in New York, asking that certain
registered letters mailed in Duren, Bel
gium. and numbered 81, 95 and SO, ad-
dressed to one Collins at Brooklyn, N. y,
should be withheld from delivery and re-
turned to Belgium; and stating that their
contents had been obtained by fraud. The
attorney stated thassprOof to this effect was
now EN- route.
Judge Key, in compliance with the re-
quest sent an order to the Postmaster at
Brooklyn to temporarily withhold the
letters.
Since that time communications have
been received from the Belgium Govern
ment, asking for the return of the letters;
also an application from Mr.. Woodward,
District Attorney of New York, t., the
same effect. The latter also transmits the
papers irrthe matter to the Attorney Cen
eral, who referred them to Judge Key for
the facts.
The Postmaster General yesterday sent
a reply to Judge Devens, giving copies of
the letters, kilograms, ETC., stating that it
has been the ruling of the Department to
recognize letter after it had been mailed
as tile property of the person to whom it
is addressed, and it is only in extraordinary
cases that the Postmaster General has di-
rected the return of letter to the writer,
and then only upon sufficient evidence
that it was sent thr ugh mistake.
A third person, as in this case, has never
been recognized as having right to con-
troll correspondence except parents, guar
dians, assignees in bankruptcy, &c. Judge
Key suggested that the suspension of the
letter might be ordered until the courts
can determine the matter. The question
submitted to the Attorney General in
wolves International rights as he will have
to determine whether the delivery, with
holding or return of letters, will violate ex.
sting treaties between the two countries.
1t is alleged that Collins has been work.

fraud has obtained several large sums OF
money and is now sending to this country,
