FALLING INTO A NET.

The Acrobat Must Learn Not 10 Strike on
His Face or His Feet.
"The first thing an acrobat learns when
he gets up on the trapeze is how to fall into
the net. He quickly discovers that the
safest way to strike is upon the shoulders.
Then come the long hours Of practice to
learn how to strike there.
A trained performer can, to certain ex-
tent, always control himself in the air. He
can twist about on his back or some other
position that is safe. The trouble with
many Is that they turn too quick.
The two most dangerous positions in which
to strike the net are on the face and feet
foremost. The former makes broken neck
or broken back probable, while the latter
is likely to result in broken legs and
broken back.

THE BETTER PLAN.

There are arguments, of course, in favor
of both these methods, and the matter re-
solves itself into the question of which bene-
fits the militia most, or whether or not there
is happy medium between the two which
will somewhat lessen the iabors of the Penn
sylvanians, yet continue to teach him the
details of camp life which he could never
learn at Peekskill. 1t is significant fact
that nearly all the States which have re-
Gently established camps pattern more
nearly after the Peekskill than they have
after the Pennsylvania idea.
In many respects New York State treats
its militia in most generous manner, as
compared with Pennsylvania. Almost all
the regiments and separate companies are
provided with armories, some of them of r
the most magnificent character. Instead of \

At any rate, his explanation therefor is a

merits of the system now in
use in the National Guard
of the two great States,
New York and Pennsylvania. The subject
of permanent encampments in Pennsyl-
vania has been talked of for some time, and
the merits and dement's of the well-knowu
grounds at PeekskilI have often been
brought up. 1 was fortunate enough to be
present for several days at the encampment
of the famous Sixty-ninth Regiment, or
Irish Tigers at PeekskiIl, a short time
AGO. In camp with them was section Of
the First Artillery of New York City, and
Signal Corps which had lately been or
ganized.

camp yearly is beautifully situated on an
elevated stretch of ground overlooking the
picturesque Hudson river for many miles.
The ten company streets were as accurately
laid out as compass would admit, and to the
Pennsylvania Guardsman arriving on the
scene, the general appearance presented was
that of perfect regimental camp.
GOING INTO CAMP.
When a New York regiment arrives on
the ground each company is assigned to

Nare nicely foored and each contains two cots
with mattresses and blankets complete.

be done, no sinks to build or cookhouses 10

COMPULSORY ENCAMPMENT.
In place of rating a regiment by its show
ing in camp, as in our own State,
each organization is allowed to parade
five times a year, at convenient periods,
and on the average showing made
in these parades the organization
is allowed IS per man. Bv this scheme the
compulsory attendance at camp is done
away with, this fact being shown by the
average strength of the guard at Peekskill
during the season just closed, running under
80 per cent against an average of 96 per cent
at the Pennsylvania camp last month.
In the matter ofdrill ard discipline many
of the New York regiments compare favor
ably with the best in our own State, al
though taking the Sixtv-ninth as a fair
representation of the guard in general,
breaches of discipline and military courtesy
are noticeable that would scarcely be toler-
ated in the poorest Pennsylvania regiment,
and examples of rigid punishment for
serious offenses among the enlisted men are
comparatively unknown.
One departure the New York Guard has
taken which would be most commendable
for other States to follow, is the organization

There is great deal of anxiety just now
about our climate. The most optimistic
people among us are more or less worried
about it. They are compelled to uncomfort-
able reflections and to reticient admissions
that things are not quite what might be de-
sired and that future possibilities are less
cheering than we could wish. The pessi-
mistic ones growl openly and aggressively.
and make the air heavy with predictions OF
despair. The climate appears to be chang
ing, says those of the one class. The climate
is changing, says those of the other. There
is no room for doubt in the matter, these as
sert. We know what we know, don't we?
Well, then, let us face the inevitable con-
clusions of logic. We cannot deny the
premises; the conclusions are pretty sure to
sweep us all from the face of the earth, but
we might as well make up our minds to
that, for the climate is changing. Take the
blizzard for starting point, says these
hopeless oues. Could we have a blizzard in
this section OF the country if the climate
were not changing? We never used to have
them. We had good oId-fashioned winters,
with plenty OF snow and long "runs of
sleighing," and January thaws and all that
sort of thing, but we never had blizzard.
We never had whole systems of railroads
blockaded by one nights snowfall; we never
had great cities made utterly helpless; we
never had telegraphic communication made
an impossibility; we never had to get news
from Boston by way of London. None of
those things ever befel under the old order
of climatic events.

Territorial Changes.

And the changes have been going on over
a wide expanse of territory. Individual OBJ
servation proves that. Some years ago
man visited certain point in Southern
California. All the circulars and advertise
ments had assured him that the wind never
blew in that particular place. 1t was the
region of perpetual calm. That was the
reason he went there. When he arrived
fierce tempest nearly blew the life out of
him. But everybody hastened to assure
him that this was "entirely exceptional"
The oldest inhabitant could not remember
any such wind as that. The conclusion was
inevitable. The climate was changing.
The change, fear, has continued.

similar climatic changes in Minnesota,

cold brought no chill and that dampness was

were; warm and wet to such an extent that

They We're Freaks, Too.

We talk sadly of the old-fashioned
winters. Isuppose there never was such a
thing. The seasons we call by that name
are only tricky delusions of our treacherous
memories. The winters we remember when
the snow lay deep on the ground from
Thanksgiving to Easter, and when we went
coasting over the tops of fences are likely to
have been freaks as unusual as the strange
winters of recent times. Years hence our
children shivering through four or five
months OF steady cold will refer to last
winter as an "old-fashioned winter" and
will sigh for the good old times when violets
bloomed in February and peach trees made
early March glow with bloom.
If the climate is changing it is not any
sudden affair, such as the talk of the day
seems to assume The change has been 60
ing on for more years than one would care
to count into his past life. A moments re-
hection will convince the most careless
thinker Of this fact.
Can any of us recall a hot spell when the
temperature did not rise higher than at any
time the oldest inhabitant could remember?
Can any of us recall a cold spell that was
not more frigid than the oldest inhabitant
had ever had to deal with? Has there been,
in the years we can count, storm OF snow
or wind or hail or rain or thunder and
lightning that was not the severest within
the memory of the oldest inhabitant? Ger
tainIy not So we see that the climate has
been changing continuously and with con-
siderable violence.

Climates Always Change.

Such things as these never used to hap
pen. In previous summers we could decide
tor ourselves what county we would stay in,
without fear OF being carried by cyclone
into county we had no desire to visit In
the good old times the winter left US with
ice enough to make the next summer en-
durable; and if by any chance there was q
lack, the summer never thought OF making
it good by deposits OF snow in August. It
was only after the climate began to change
that the blossoms came in the winter time
and the fruit failed to come at all. Can
anyone doubt these evidences? the pessimists
ask. OF course the climate is changingl
Well, when did our climate ever do any,
thing else? Change is the very habit OF its
being. Age cannot wither custom cannot
stale its infinite variety. Exhaustless
novelty and boundless versatility are its
sence Of monotony is what makes it always
interesting. Perpetual change is its one
unchanging attribute. For every day, for
almost every hour, it has the unfailing
charm of unexpectedness Like genuine
wit, it is never without the element of sur
prise. When you wear your dustcloak
abroad, then is the time you find need for
your umbrella. When you are away from
home in your russet shoes, then you wish
you had brought your arctic overshoes.
