Can We Change Climate.

It has been maintained that the mild
weather of this winter thus far and Of
the entire period of last winter is ow-
inc to detection of the gulf stream.
If this is so, why could it not be de-
fected some more and make New En-
gland tropical and raise oranges in
New Hampshire and pineapples IN
Maine? We believe that certain auda-
cious engineers have offered 20 do this,
provided capital enough is furnished
for the undertaking.
TO a limited extent, even now, 1t IS
an admitted fact that man can make
his own climate. The meteorological
conditions of the West have been great
" modified since it was first settled.
Perhaps New Englanders may decide
some day that, instead of changing
our fannels every winter, it will be
cheaper in the long run 10 change our
climate.
OF course it sounds preposterous to
advocate the detection Of the gulf
stream, but many preposterous things
have happened in the nineteenth cen
turv, and who shall say that any
scheme which is proposed for the
twentieth century is chimeric;ll? After
we have married the Orient and the
Occident by 4 bridge across Behring's
Steail, and are able to go to Europe
via Siberia in Pullman car, we may
turn our attention seriously to the gulf
stream
