One of the latest of the big schemes
on paper is to change the climate OF
North America The man who sug-
gests this audacious idea is neither
poet nor creature of financial night
mares, but solid geologist, Professor
Shaler, of Harvard University. The
points of his interesting scheme may
be summarized as follows: Once upon
a time the japanese current flowed
through Behring's Straits into The
Arctic Ocean. Then the straits were
wider than they are now, because for
ces, no longer existing, caused the
coast to rise gradually. The result of

ruption of the warm current and the
consequent reduction OF the entire
northern part of this continent to an
icy waste. This section of the conti-
nent feels the effect of the change, too,
as our frequent bizzards attest That
Greenland was more habitable some |
centuries ago than now is an historical
fact The thing to do is to make an
artificial channel through the straits so
that the warm current may pass to-
wards the pole again. Such an achiev-
ment would reclaim a vast stretch OF
land. giving North America delight
ful climate, for not only would rough
winters be thing of the past but the
fierce heats of the American summers
would be tempered. Professor Shaler
thinks that the great work could be ac-
complished if civilized nations would
unite in giving to the work the men,
money and energy now expended in
fighting each other.
