ORIGIN OF Climate.

Sctth Near Jersey Times.
MIR. ]. Doubavaud, a citizen of
Vineland, in the FLORIDA AGRICUL>
TTRIsT of Nov. 8, propounds a new
theory OF climate which, upon its
face, has certainly considerable plaus.
Utility. We have been taught, in our
biographies, that the earth is divided
into three great climatic belts, two
of which are duplicated: the torrid,
temperate, and frigid; that the frigid
zone is that most remote from the
sun; the torrid zone, where perpetual
summer reigns, directly beneath bis
beams; and the temperate zone be-
tween the two, where cold and heat
alternately reign.
The fact that the sun is about three
millions of miles nearer the earth in
winter than in summer, the scientists
have seemed to consider counterbal-
anced by the fact that its beams reach
US in a slanting direction at that PEE
Rod of the year, and therefore are
not felt in all their force MIR. Dou.
bavaud however, points out . fact
which the whole race of scientists
seem to have overlooked; and that is,
that the suns rays at any season OF
the year never reach us vertically ex.
cept at the hour of noon At three
o'clock in midsummer, the rays are
as slanting as at twelve in midwinter.
Yet at three o'clock in midsummer
is the hottest hour OF the day.
How, then, account for this great
difference between the temperature
of summer and winter? How account
tor the further fact, Tor it is uudoubt.
eddy fact, that as great, and even
greater extremes OF heat are eXperi-
enced in late summer in high lati-
tudes than in lower ones? Mr.. Dou
bavaud's method of accounting tor
this seems to us as reasonable as it
is novel. He says that "the maxi>
mum heat OF any country is regula>
ted by the length of the night" At
the equator the day and night are
each twelve hours long. The sun
shines tiercely for twelve hours, heat
ing the air and the EARTH but there
IL long night in which both earth
and air become cooled. Therefore
III the tropics the maximum heat, ex-
cept in untavorable conditions, is less
than our own. He gives the follow
ing figures IN his article: at Para,
latitude l . 81, the maximum heat is
90; at Maranham, latitude 90 81,
1t is sc; at Pernam, lat. 50, it is $50;
at Bahia, lat. Is, 1T is So, and at Rio

places are all in Brazil, and within
the Southern tropic. In our own lat
itue OF about 400, it is no uncommon
thing for the thermometer to indi>
cate 1907; and we have even seen it
stand at 1852. Here we are tanned
ty sea breezes at night, otherwise
our climate would be less endurable
than the tropics.
In this latitude the days at mid>
summer reach about fifteen hours in
length, with but nine hours Of night
for the earth TO cool off in. In the
interior, where no ocean breezes
reach, the nights are often oppress-
lively warm. When winter comes
the sun shines upon the earth but
nine hours in the day; aud during
fourteen or fifteen hours it is cooling
and freezing. The days are not long
enough to counterfeit this malign in
tiuence. When we reach the trigid
zone, the long night OF from twenty
tour hours to six months congeals
land and sea into great frozen en-
pire; and the equally long days, with
the sun still low down in the horizon,
is not long enough to thaw things
out. Still those who have spent the
months OF August and September in
Arctic regions say that for brief
period summer reigns which almost
equals in heat that of our own sum-
mers. Even then the sun is more
remote from them than it is from US
during our coolest winter days. But
the day is long one, and the sun
has plenty of time to do his work,
with 10 night to undo it.
Ii We accept the premises whiCA
MIR. Doubavaud lays down, we shall
find that as both days and nights are
more nearly equal in tropica! lati-
tldcs, neither the heat nor the cold
are So intense as i'll the temperate
z4ne. Here the longer summer days
and the longer winter nights alter.
Ia;ely burn and freeze US during the
year: while i'll the arctic regions, the
days and nights still oeing equal,
though both great y prolonged, nei-
ihcr is able to gain the entire ascen-
dctcy over Nh other, aud intense
coid prevails, with a period Of what
would lie intense heat, were it not

A telegram was received here yesterday
afternoon from New Orleans announcing
that IN the drawing of the Louisiana State
Lottery, which took place in that city dur
ing the morning, ticket No. Ala had
drawn the capital prfzs of $4,000. One
half Of this ticket was sold in Savannah,
but to whom could not be sscer-
tanned last night, the name Of the

a Young Lady's Experience with = n
Alligator.

A young lady from Pennsylvania, who
has Just returned from Florida, where, with
a party Of friends, she has been revealing in
the beauties of the howerY land, brought
with her as q souvenir Of her visit live ALI
gator about six inches long. The party are
stopping at one Of our hotels, and propose
remaining here a couple Of weeks.
The fair damsel from the Key
stone State, unwilling 60 trust
her aDpbibi0us pet to the risk Of trsnsporta-
tion TO her home. concluded 10 keep it in the
little ventilated box IN her room until her
departure, when she could look after 1t
herself on the journey. While playing
with It on Monday evening in her room she
accidentally knocked the top eff the box
and the sesly dimiButive monster escaping,
made a lump and lighted on her fair round
ann, ana proceeded 10 transfer himself into
a bracelet, as it were, emitting at the same
time from his gaping mouth a hiss
ing noise. The young lady's frantic
sbrieks soon brought TO her assist
anee her friends, VINO we're occupying the
adjoining rooms, and the scaiy ssurian was
finally secured after many feminine ejacu-
lations, ''ohsn and "ahs, u and returned TO its
''little bed" In the box. The incident Gre
ated some excitement on that floor Of the
hotel until the cause of the turmoil was
learned, when the situation became serene.
The Young lady, we understand, proposes
reading uD the habits Of the gator so as to
obtain g clearer knowledge of how the
saurian pet should be manipulated.

named Toney Hilton was driving sstruck,
on which he had eight barrels Of rosin, up
East Broad street towards the Bay. The
last two barrels on the truck were headed
up and a colored man was seated on one Of
them. Just as the corner Of Bay street was
reached the wheel of the truck struck
against a large stone, which Jared the load
so much that the eolOred man and the bar
rel Of rosin on which he was seated fell in
the street together, the rosin barely missing
the darkey's head as the tumble occurred.
The colored man sustained several severe
bruises, but was not seriously Injured, and
the barrel which contained the rosin was
pretty badly broken.

A Practical Joke - Reversing the
Wheels OF a Buggy.

A well known German, who is in the
habit Of leaving his horse and buggy under
the eastern end of the Philadelphia steam
ship wharf, had practical joke played on
him yesterday by some parties. He left his
horse and buggy In the usual place about II
O'Clock, and at l o'clock, having occasion 10
90 to the Central Railroad Bank, be jumped
into the vehicle and drove 10 that direction.
AS he was driving along he was impressed
with the idea that there was something
wrong either with the horse or vehicle, but
could not exactly determine what It was.
On reaching the bank one OF the officers
who CHANGED to be standing in the door
commenced laughing, when the innocent
driver inquired the cause Of his great mer-
riment. The bank official thereupon d.
rected the attention OF his German friend
to the fact that the hind wheels Of his buggy
had been transferred to the front axle ana
vice versa. The victim of this joke was
rather indignant, and drove around to the
stable where he keeps his turnout to have
matters remedied. Several of the employees
were standing outside and quickly observing
the unique appearance OF the vehicle,
commenced laughing. which only added 10
the irritation of the owner, who, though
generally good nstured, was not prepared
to stand such trif'ng as this, and is now on
still hunt for the perpetrators Of the joke.

Yesterday afternoon about O'Clock q
gentleman returning from drive out in the
country had an unpleasant accident, attended
with no little danger. Just as he reached the
Central Railroad bridge across the canal, a
train appeared In sight and the engineer
sounded the customary caution signal,
which frightened the horse and he started
of at full speed. The dash was so sudden
that the gentleman lost control Of his
horse. aud the frightened animal rushed
into ditch. and sank up to his body In the
soft mud. Two eolored men who were pass
ing at once went TO the assistance Of the
gentleman sn6 cut the traces, thus releasing
the animal from the buggy. After con-
siderable difficulty, the scared equine was
extricsted from the ditch uninjured, but so
thoroughly covered with mud that It was
impossible to rehsrness him to the buggy,
so he was led back aud the gentleman foot
ed 1t home.
