ARCTIC CLIMATE.

Lord KeIvin's Theory Concerning
the Changes 1t Has Undergone.
The reissue Of Lord Kelvin's adj
dresson geology and general physics
revive a discussion as to the probable
cause of the warm climate once expert
enced in the arctic regions That such
warm climate did prevail at one time
| in those regions is beyond doubt; for
not only are remains of forest trees
found within 15 degrees Of the North
Pole, with every evidence of their hay
ing grown there, but the return Of the
arctic expedition in 1875 brought home
proofs of very warm climate, proba-
bly, as warm as the tropics, within o de-
grees of the north pole. The explana-
ton of this condition which Lord Kel-
vim suggests Is this
The Arctic Ocean is land-locked sea,
and the effects Of the surrounding
coasts is to hem the ice in and prevent
free oceanic circulation, while the land
itself serves to receive and accumulate
snow wherewith to load the neighbor-
ing sea with a thin surface layer of sur
face ice. But il the land was lowered
1000 feet the sea would be open but
for a few islands, and the water deep
; enough for plenty of warm currents TO
flow in sufficient to clear the ice away
and keep it clear. Even now the ice
seems to be 5 feet thick, evidently
melting away underneath.
Having regard to all the defenses--
the heat capacity of moist air, the for
nation of dew, and such like-it is sug-
gested that the same conditions as pro-
tect large continent in temperate
zones from destructive cold during a
warm night would prevent even so
much as hoar frost on a small island at
the very pole during it's whole winters
six months night, II it were surrounded
by deep ocean with no land TO OBJ
struct free circulation between II and
tropical seas. In Lord Kelvin's judy
ment, glaciatiOn Is promarily due TO ele-
walton, and changes in climate principal
~ caused by variations Of elevation.
The theory that a shift In the earth's
axis Is responsible for such climatic
changes finds no favor with Lord KEEL
win. who declares that there Is no evil
dence, either geological or astronomical.
Of any considerable shifting Of the po-
sition of the poles. AS to the warmer
temperature at one time prevalent all
over the earth, the simplest, and In ev-
cry way the most probable hypothesis
Is a warmer sun.

Excerpts From James IugIis' New
Book, "OOr Ain Folk"

Excerpts From James IugIis' New
Book, "Oor Ain Folk"
The local jealousy between town and
town is amusingly illustrated by the
following anecdote: A worthy burgher
# Perth and a Newburgh man had got
into rather acrimonious dispute over
their toddy anent the merits Of their
respective towns. The Perth man
vaunted the virtues Of the beautiful
Tay and the noble expanse of the city
links. The Newburg man Insisted that
their water was purer and clearer, and
the breezy heights about their town
put the links Of Perth completely in the
shade. The Perth man renewed the
attack by speaking Of their busy streets
and the volume of their trade. AS New
burg happened to be favored chang
Ing for numerous intersecting lines of
mail coaches the Newburg man was
able to score point by insisting that
''mair stage coaches gaed through New
burgh In day than cam tae Perth in
week" This put the champion of
the Fair City" on his metal, and, swell
Dg out his chest with conscious dignity,
he rather pompously delivered what he
considered a clincher:
"Ahw said he, but DOR provost gangs
ABBOTT wi chain%
dis he? dryly responded the other.
"a weel, we lat oors gang ABBOTT loose"
1t was but the third time the Rev.
Tr,, LnI .A..z ,I,.sA
The scene was in Mr.. Paton's church,
In the pretty village Of Fettercairn.
When the young preacher, after giving
out the Psalm, had taken his first rapid
survey of the congregation, he noticed
two finely dressed gentlemen in Sc
cluded pew, dressed in superfine broad
cloth suits and adorned with white
clerical neckties. One was venerable
looking old gentleman, with silvery
hair; the other young, with q rather
aristocratic and refined look. 1t then
being the height Of the tourist season,
Mr.. Don put the two gentlemen down
at once as some travelling English rec
tor and his curate, and he felt very
nervous In the presence of what he took
to be such critics. In the evening the
same couple occupied the same seat,
and the minister underwent another or
leal Of inward anxiety. When he came
to disrobe, however. in the vestry,s he
asked the beadlc who the two distin-
guished clerics might be.
"Och, there wis nae meenister i the
kirk. sir" said the beadle,
Yes, there was" said Mr.. Don, "they
were here this morning, too" Then
he described them.
''Hoots, sir" said the old beadie,
''they wis nae meenisters; that was
jist Dancie Fettis an his son--the twa
dancin' masters frae Brechin."

Feeding Ensilage 10 sheep

Sheep are delicate feeders and will
reject anything that Is not perfectly
sweet They sniff at ensilage, and II
in any large quantity they viii eat very
little and then reject the remainder
Only very little at first should be

less to expect sheep to eat the butts of

1892, he caught 4 large bonita fish,
which, on being cut open, was found
to have plain gold ring inside, 1t was
the common belief Of the sailors on the

hand of man who either fell over
board or Went down with the ship.
Capt Haywood has taken great fancy

TO store Away Cabbage for winter


The following method for storing
cabbages have been tried and found eff
ficacious, and are worthy of adoption
by all:
A portion of the crop, sufficient for a
couple OF months use may be safely
stored down cellar. The outer leaves
should be left on and the cabbage
stood on the roots, head up, first row
against the wall, second row against
these. and so on for as many rows as
are desired. If the cellar be damp or
dry they win keep fresh and green a
long while. Never, in a cellar, put the
heads down. Care, however, should be
taken through ventilation, by chimney,
door, or otherwise. that there should be
air. and that the temperature should be
kept just above freezing point. If the
cellar be dry, and the heads are down,
/ have observed that there is apt to be
more or less mold; if wet they begin to
rot in a short time. Always place
heads Up.
