No Changes In Climate.

and merits most thorough stucy. We
find the "early" and the latter rain

to-day exactly as it did in Joshua
time, thirty-three centuries ago.

practically the same size and are Of
the same appearance as those growing
to-day. Records Of vintages in France
for over 700 years show practically
the same dates as to day. Actual OBJ
servations of rainfall for over 200
years in France show no change. OBJ
servations of temperature for almost
20 years at St. Petersburg show no
change appreoiably to us, though, of
course, the earliest observations were
extremely crude and somewhat unre.
liable. Facts Of this kind might be
adduced to fill small volume. On
the other hand, we have records of the
extraordinary cold weather in ancient
times One winter the light vine in
France froze. Another winter the

In this journal for June it is stated
that "Parnassus and Socrate, now free
from snow, were covered with it in
classic antiquity" Also, "the name
Greenland, which strikes us as so sim
gu!arly inappropriate, was not inap-
plicable at the time it was named, in
the Fourteenth Century"
It is entirely propable that descrip-
tions of the cold in ancient times were
much exaggerated. Parnassus and
Socrate have snow at times, and in
earlier days, when protection against
the cold snow was much less than now
little snow would go a long way.
The early voyagers from Iceland, more
than 200 years ago, leaving land of
almost perpetual ice and snow, and
reaching land in the summer with its

the summer time, it is said that
Greenland presents most beautiful

Dog Understood the Conversation.

y collie, Roger, who belonged to a
Kentucky man, has given remarka-
bic proof Of understanding converse
ton. His master and his guests were
sitting on the vcranda after the mid
day dinner and Roger lay stretched out
upon the lawn nearby. One Of the
visitors commented upon the dog
good points, his fine markings and
other evidences Of breeding.
"And he is as clever as he is hand
some, said his master. Every even
ing he goes 20 the pasture and brings
up the cows. lie never needs any one
to remind him Of his duty and he new
er neglects it,
During this eulogy Roger lay appa-
rently sound asleep. No one paid any
further attention to him and the con-
versatiun turned upon other subjects.
Suddenly a commotion was heard, the
jingliDg Of a bell, joyous barking,
and there, before the gate, stood the
whole herd Of Attorneys, reused from
their noon siesta and driven home at
that unwonted hour by the over-zeal-
GUS Roger, thirsting for still greater
praise. But alas for the vanity Of
canine expectationl
"What do you mean?" his master
shouted, knowing that the dog must
be roundly rebukcd. "You rascal!
Take those cows back to the pasture
instantly. What do you mean by
bringing them up at this time of the
day?"
The light died out of Rogers dane

tificstion. Dazed anG as much aston
