Climate, says Dana, while depending
largely on the latitude, is modified by the at
mospheric and oceanic movements and the
takes up heat rapidly in summer, and in the
north becomes frozen and snowclad in win
ter. Land winds may consequently be in
tensely hot or intensely cold, and hence lands
have a tendency to produce extremes Of eli
mate. The waters of the ocean remain I'M
frozen even far toward the pole, unless
crowded with lands, their perpetual move
ments tending to produce a uniformity OF
temperature over the globe, and hence winds
from the oceans or any large body Of water
are moderating and never very cold. They
produce what is called an insular climate
Absence of lands from high ATTITUDES is
equivalent to an absence of the source Of ex-
IRENE cold; and from tropical ATTITUDES, that
of extreme heat; and the sinking of all
lands would diminish greatly both extremes.
But sinking high latitude lands also dimin-
ishes the extreme of heat, since the lands be
come very much heated in summer, and this
heat is diffused by the winds. The mean
temperature Of the northern hemisphere is
stated by Dove at 60 dogs F., and of the
southern at Sc degs F., while the extremes

Mr.. G. b. Holmes, president OF tie
Chicago syndicate of capitalists. which
now controls the majority of the street
car lines of the three cities. arrived at the
Harper this morning. He has been
busy man since leaving Rock Island.
First he went to Washington to attend
the national ASSOCIATION of street car
presidents, of which he is the executive
officer and now he has just returned from
California where he has been looking
after street car interests there.
Il don't know how work is progressing
here, he said to an ARGUS reporter, "but
we aim to accomplish as much new track
| laying this fall as possible. We have ex-
perienced much delay in getting
our material here. First we were
late in getting our plans into
| operation; then we were obliged to order
| our iron at one of the busiest seasons, and
after we got it fairly loaded it was twelve
days longer than it should have been in
getting here. 1t became lost somewhere
on the road and great deal of telegraph>
ing was necessary to trace it up, Now
we are exerting every energy TO get the
track down. We ordered a number OF
new cars, too, and Iexpected to see them
running upon my arrival, but | am sur
prised that they have not reached here
yet. They should certainly be here in q
few days and they will speak for them
selves when they do"
When asked as to the prospects for the
bridge road before winter, Mr., Holme
replied:
The prospects are good-very good
think we will get over before real COLI
weather sets in There are number o
interests yet to harmonic, but l don
look for much delay in settling them"
Mr.. Holmes expressed deep in teres
in the viaduct question, and seemed snx
ious to learn all that was possible pertain
, ing to it. 1t would be good thing h
said. and would obviste any danger tina
could arise from crossing the tracks a
the approach to the bridge.
Mr.. Holmes returns to Chicago touigh
but hopes to be in Rock Island again in
few days.

prepare some tea for supper the other
afternoon, and she made a mis- that
cost her her life. Her eyesight was very
poor, and she placed what she thought
was tea pot on the stove, but in its stead
1t was the kerosene can, which took fire
almost instantly and caught her clothing,
and before the flames were extinguished
she was burned frightfully and fatally.
The unfortunate lady suffered terribly
but death came to her relief at 10 O'Clock
that night. She was living by herself,
consequently the fire was not discovered
until too late.
