ture. Scientists say that the period of
the suns excessive activity is over and
that during the next four or five years,
or even seven or eight, we have reason
to expect wetter seasons. They say
that the sun has periodic super. activi-
ties, when the sun spots appear, and
that during those periods the heat
which is shed over the earth is so ex-
cessive that IL interferes with the
movement OF moisture currents, dry
ing up the moisture and whitening
vegetable life. This explanation seems
reasonable for the "dry belt" during

been as dry as America. There is no.

passed has been one of almost unusual
severity. 1t is not likely that another
one of equal severity will occur in II

pates the fear entertained by some
that the earth is gradually drying up.
There is just as much water OIL this
earth now as there was when we began
to live. Its distribution Is the only
thing that has varied. and the distribu-

which which we have just passed has

government records, were lower pre-.

the time-than they are now. Three
years from now all the lake and water
levels may be restored and in Iowa
the welcome song of the frog will
again be heard from every section Of
land. God has not forsaken us-which
is to say natural laws have not come
to nought all of sudden.-Register.

AFRICAN CLIMATE.
On the Central Plateau 1t Is Cool and Not
Unhealthy.

On the Central Plateau 1t Is Cool and Not
Unhealthy.
As for the climate, it is no worse than
that found elsewhere in tropic lands.
Tie heat is not so great as in India
or as it is sometimes in New York in
summer Fortunately, writes Henry
NJ Stanley in Century, the coast belt
on both sides of Africa, where the heat
is greatest, and where the climate is
most unhealthy, is narrow. In four
hours a railway train at ordinary speed
would enable us to cross it, and so avoid
the debilitating temperature. Ascend
ing the sides of the coast range by the
same means of conveyance, we should
in two hours reach a rolling plain
which gradually rises in height from
&, 800 to $500 feet above the sea. Here
the climate is sensibly cooler, and the
VI white man can safely work six hours
of the day in the open without fear
of sunstrole, though he must not count.
on immunity from fever. In from ten
to twelve hours the traveller by train
would meet another steep rise, and
would find himself from 5000 to 5000
feet above the sea, on the broad cen
trail plateau of the continent, which
varies from 600 to 1000 miles across.
It is in this section that the great lakes,
snowy mountains and tallest hills are
found. Here we have cold nights and
hot sun when the skies are not cloud
cd, though the air in the shade is fre-
quently cool enough for an overcoat;
and it is on this immense upland that
the white man, when compelled by cir
cumstances, may find home.

WHY ELECTRIC LIGHTS HISS.
Due to the-Heated Carbon Points Evap-
Grating.

Due to the Heated Carbon POINTS EVnp-
Grating.
Prof. Sylvanus Thompson has been
answering a question which has often
puzzled the public. The arc light pro-
ceeds from the points of two little car
bon rods as large as ones little finger.
Prof Thompson explains what is the
state of the carbon when the lamp is
throwing out its light. He says, reports
the Pittsburgh Dispatch, that the car
bon is sometimes actually melting,
thing that was until recently thought
impossible.
Moreover, he says that when a light
is kissing the liquid carbon is really
boiling. In ordinary combustion the
state of the arc crater is such that the
solid carbon below is covered with a
layer or film of liquid carbon just boil
ing or evaporating off. When Kissing
takes place the new state of things is
set up.
He says: eff you watch a short, hiss
ing arc you will see column of light
concentrating itself on a narrow spot
and the spot keeps moving about and is
very unstable in position, as well as in
the amount of light it gives out. The
crater surface after the arc has been
Kissing is found to be literally honey
combed.
''When the arc is kissing you can see
little bits erupted cut, and the kissing
seems to be compared to the kissing
which takes place in boiling water.
| There is, in fact, exactly the same kind
of difference between the silent erc and
the kissing orc as between quiet evap-
Grafton and noisy boiling"

BARRIERS Require Strong Nerves and VIII

''Did you ever know said Ninth

man, "that certain men who come into
this shop to be shaved exert a queer

the BARRIERS? It's a fact. Now, there's

degree, by prominent business man,

1t frequently compelled him to knock

Here's another funny thing. Did you

why it is, but feel that way myself.

The fuss that is being made over the
new fifty-ton gun at the Lime Point for
tifications near San Francisco shows
how great is the feeling of helplessness
in our present coast defenses. The gov
ernment has been at work three years
upon these Notifications, and only one
of the three guns ordered is finished.
The task of providing adequate defenses
for our coasts is great one, and if the
United States intends to continue in the
front rank of nations, she must make
the same progress that they are making.

tor Squirrels bill, or one similar to it.

are more important than those of county

OPPORTUNITY F
EXPANSION.
FOR

As a city ambitious for commercial
importaLce, The Dalles should improve
every-opportunity to increase her influ-
ence. Good roads is one of these;
quick communication with the country
whose supply point this city is, is an
other. Some time ago the subject of a
telephone line from The Dalles to Prime
vile was mentioned in the Prineville
paper, but the idea was allowed to
slumber through lack of agitation. The
time is now ripe for this matter-an i'm
portant one for the cities at the terminal
points and the intermediate country-to
be discussed.
The people of Crook county have al
ways done their trading in The Dalles,
press and statements made by the busi-
ness men of Prineville. we think we
are right in saying that spirit of friend
illness exists between the people to the
south of us and the business men of The
Dalles. There can be no doubt but that
= telephone line to Prinevllle is needed
to facilitate trade between The Dalles
and the business men of Crook county.
It is probable at the first that the line
would not pay, but with greater famil-
iarity with its use and benefits and the
settling up of the intermediate country,
with an increase of way stations, the
enterprise would, within comparative
ly short time. pass into paying con-
cern. The trade of Crook county is one
of the most lucrative the Dalles mer-
chants enjoy, and every endeavor should
be made to cement the ties-both COM
mercially and in sentiment-which con-
meet one place with the other. A busi-
ness man of Prineville, whose word OF
note is good for many times the sum ex-
pressed, stated, within the hearing. of the
writer a few days since, that he would
make cash contribution of $500 tow
ards building telephone line from The
Dalles to Prineville. This generous
offer could no doubt be duplicated in
many instances.
Here is field for our Commercial
Club to work to good advantage. Here
is an opportunity for this orga nizatior
to prove the faith of its promoters, and
by taking hold of the matter, investigate
and consider the feasibility of the plan
We would think it a good step if a com
mittee were appointed to collect dats
relative to the cost of construction, thu
time necessary for its completion, anc
gather some information regarding th'
benefits to be obtained. This is tht
legitimate purpose for which the Com
meEcial Club was organized, and tht
work done in this instance may lead t.
good results in another. At the yer,
least nothing can be lost by determin
ing whether or not the cost of building
and operating telephone line to Prime
vile would be Commensurate with tn
good that the section through which
should run would obtain.
