Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson,
who has vastly improved the inner
workings of the national department. of
meteorology, is conducting a special Sc
ries of Investigations in relation to
criminology. Elias B. Dunn of the New
York weather bureau, has been making
a number of observations on his own
account. In so far as Mr.. Dunn's in
vestigations of the effect of weather
upon weak minded or criminally in
clined have been carried, he is in per-
feet agreement with his co-laborers at
the capital, who, in no uncertain
language affirm that atmospheric con-
ditions have TO a very considerable ex-
tent an influence upon the conduct of
habitual criminals and persons of I'M

American youth in examining spires and gaping
at vaults, affairs, and chancels Is just SO much
time wasted, as, TO his eye. the whole exhibition

to those churches as he does to the geological
