Senator Stephen B. Elkins, of West

transportation com Danies. Senator
Elkins, in speaking of the section, said
today:

played. l am proud of it. The section
should have meant for the ocean what
the tart If does for the land. l think it
was American, and for that reason l
pushed it.
"This country is bound to be mistress
of the seas just as soon as we get time
to attend to it. wanted to hurry it

all. 1 simply worked to succeed. OF
course, l WAS not going to tell those
opposed 10 the scheme all about it.
"Duripg President Harrison's admin
istrat!on we came very near reaching
this end. Secretary Window, two days
before he died, drew up resolution in
pencil with this end in view. Had he
lived, it would have been pushed. l am
going to push it now.
Il shall be sorry if Attorney-Genera
McKenna finds fault against the dis

Cold and Warm Periods.

The Meteorologische Zeitechrift, a
German scie ntific publication, contains
q treatise by DR.. F. Maurer on the reg
ular periodical re petition of cold and
warm years. During certain intervals
of time, extending as a rule to about
fifteen years, there is a recognized
change of warm and cold periods. The
warm periods, he says, do not simply
include series of extraordinary
warmth, but also series of mild win
tiers. Similarly, during the cycle of
cold period, not only are the winters
more than ordinarily severe, but the
summers are far below the average
heat. DR.. Maurer affirns that we can
predict with tolerab,e accuracy the
time when the next cycle of warm Pc
rioGs will occur. 1t is due, he calcu-
lates, somewhere about the turning
point, between the two centuries, and
he thinks it probable, from the data
obtainable, that the early years of the
next century will be distinguished by
series of hot, or. rather, extremely hot
summers, and series of eX> eptionally
mild winters.
