COLD AND ENERGY.
A Novel View which Mny Reconcile
some Sufferers to Our
Climate.

1t is encouraging to note that the eli
mate. which last summer brought forth
a temperature of 104 degrees plus,
touched minus 20 this winter. Encour-
aging because the relation of tempra-
ture variation to metropolitan great
ness has radically changed in the last
1000 years. Twenty centuries ago, the
great cities of the world were situated
in regions of small annual variation of
temperature. Athens, Rome, AleXan-
dria, Carthage, Babylon-this was true
of all. Some of these cities, as Athens
and Alexandria, basked in almost con-
tinual sunshine; the others had winter
climates like that of Albuquerque and
Yuma. There is evidence to show that
Cato never walked up at $3.50 a. IN. and
discovered that the shower bath was
frozen, by breaking the valve in a vain
endeavor to lave his noble form, and
that the indecision that cost NiSias the
battle of Syracuse was never disciplined
by the necessity of deciding whether
first to fire up the furnace or go into the
cellar with reakettle of hot water and
an old spring overcoat, and thaw out
the connections of the kitchen sink.
The metropolitan life of those days was
dramatically monotonous. ami the
weather occupied no space in the daily
press.
The great centers of population to-
day are in regions of alternate heat and
cold. This rule applies to London. st.
Petersburg, Paris. Picking and Kansas

On the Number of Troops Necessary to
Send to the Philippines
Washington, July Is. - This state
ment was prepared Mt army headquar-
ters yesterday and given out for pub
ication: There has been some discus
sion in the press recently relating to
an alleged difference of opinion re-
Sarding the number of troops to be
sent to the Philippine islands in the
first instance. Immediately upon re-
ceiving the news of Dewey's victory at
Manila General Miles recommended the
dispatch of a military force to the Phil
ippine islands, and his letter. dated
May 3, 1898, said: Il have the honor
10 recommend that General Thomas NJ.
Anderson be sent TO occupy the Philip
pine islands. in command of the fol-
lowing troops" Here the general
names the regiments, etc, to compose
the force-l The force above designated
was. approximately, 5000 men; and
the recommendation was approved by
the president.
Up to this time no communication
had been received from Admiral Dew
ey, his first dispatch, dated May /. not
reaching Washington until May Z. Later
a dispatch was received from him,
dated Hong Kong, May Is. 1898 (Cavite.
May 13). which said: ITO retain pos
session and thus control Philippine
islands would require, in my best judg-
ment, well-equipped force of 5000 men.
United States troops should
make provision for extremely hot.
moist climate. Spanish force is esti-
mated 10000 men. The rebels are re-
ported 10000 men"
On May 16. 1898. after seeing the
above dispatch from Admiral Dewey
General Miles made recommendation
as to the number of troops, increasing
his first estimate. The troops desig-
mated in the communication numbered
10, 425 men. which was over 10, 900 more
than Admiral Dewey had asked for In
the meantime General Merritt had been
selected to command the expedition for
the Philippines. and in a letter to the
president dated May Is. 1898. he SUBJ
mitted an estimate of troops necessary
to constitute such an expedition. com
prising II. 400 men
mere was a dispute between Miles
and Merritt regarding the force to be
sent. but there was no controversy re-
garding the number. General Miles. in
TACT having DESIGNATED more than Cen
