Professor Arrhenius, who has re.
Gently investigated the causes OF seen
lar variations in the temperature at
the earth's surface, thinks that they
are moro probably due to changes in
the amount of carbonic acid in the at
mosphere than to variations in the
heat of the sun. II the amount Of
carbonic acid that the air now con.
tains were diminished a little more
than one-half, the mean temperature
all over the earth would drop about
eight degrees, which would be sufi-
cient to bring on another glacial per.
iod. On the other hand, an increase
OF carbonic acid to between two and
three times its present amount would
raise the mean temperature fifteen
degrees and renew the hot times Of
the Eoceae epoch.

Great Salt Lake is receding on
account of the excessive drain made
upon it by irrigation enterprises.
This lake is not fed by underground
springs, but by the Jordan and other
rivers, and when the water of the
streams ia intercepted for irrigation
purposes the water supply of the Salt
Lake Is, of course, diminished 80 that
the evaporation which is constantly
going on is not made up by a new
supply. In time it looks rs if the

Professor Mansfield Merriman,
studying the United States census re-
parts since 1850, has discovered a
marked and steady inc rease in the
length OF human life in our country
during the last half century. His sta
tistics, which were presented at the
recent meeting of the American Asso-
citation for the Advancement OF Sci
ence, show that in 1850 the median
age of the entire population was 1873
years, while in 1890 it had risen to
2l.4 years. In 1900, he anticipates,
it will be 22.4 years BY "median
age is meant that which divides the
population equally, one half being
above and the other half below the
median.

In the Maine Woods.

GREENvILLE, Oct 1. George Mas
terman, a kineo guide, has just re-
turned from 92-days' trip in the vicin-
ity of Eagle lake. Masterman saw lots
of things while he was in the woods
among them being two as fine heads as
he ever expects to look upon. One had

When he came out last week the velvet
was just peeling from these horns. He
is confident that he can take sports
man in and secure both animals.
During his long stop in the. woods
MaSterman saw these magnificent crea-
lures from II to II times during each
long stop, as we'll as many more hand
some bulls with heads which any sports
man might feel proud to secure. This
guide is confident that there are at least
twice as many moose as there were last
year and he thinks they are working in
to the territory from the region above,
thus accounting for the increase in num-
bers.
Masterman says that the law which
protects the COW and calf moose at all
seasons is adding to the numbers, and he
is positive that fewer moose are being
killed out of season than ever before,
owing to the public sentiment which is
SO pronounced everywhere against the
practice.
The bulk of the moose killed last year
were secured in October; three-fourths
as many as in November, and a fourth
as many in December If one wants a
fine head it is well to be ON hand short
lv after the law goes off for guides fire.

The early weeks of October are very
delightful to be out of doors, much
pleasanter than the later ones; but there
is disadvantage in the fact that the
meat does not keep as well at that time,
and unless the weather is exceptionally
cool it is difficult to get deer out of
the woods and home in good condition.
Later no such trouble is experienced.

BY JULIA WARD HOWE,

Art-angel Guido hangs upon my wall,
A moving picture of the Tempter's fall.
Michael, bright champion OF the heavenly
host,
Treads under foot the leader of the lost.
Buskined with light, with faultless weapon
armed,
He stands above the PROSTATE foe, IN
harmed.
The grovelling wretch no cOunter-blOw es-
says,
Pinned down to earth, in impotent amaze.
This vision, oft encountered, seems to say
The brute on earth shall never more hold
sway;
While, glorious as seraph from'the skies,
Freedom makes good her deathless victories.
The legendary fight grows pale
Before me, as | hear the wall
Of men on noble errand sent
And held with murderous intent,
BY fanatic legiOns that essay
To Stitie Europe in Cathay.
My journey shows each pallid face
True lovers, locked in last embrace;
Parents who to their bOsOmS strain
The babes they guard, but guard in vain.
And as l kneel in prayer, l cry:
Father send rescue from on high
The ways of human help are barred;
Be Thou, o Lord their watch and ward
Alas alas their doom is sealed!
No source of SuccOr is revealed.
But still, beyond the bonds of sense,
Prevalent Gods omnipotence
This seraph messenger may come,
Fen to that -beleaguered. home;
And unto those who perish give
A crown denied to those that live
Ruler of all 4! to each brave heart
The joy of martyrdom impart.
Upon thy scroll of deathless fame
Write them with those who overcame!
Who, folded in the blessed light,
Christian faith and Christian right,
Unto the bitter end abode,
Sealed in the armory of God.

Prohibition in Calais.

CALAIS, October 2. The recent visit
of the Women's Christian Temperance
Union seems to be bearing fruit quick
ly. Last night the board of aldermen
passed resolution declaring that the
prohibitory law should be strictly en-
forced and that the presiding justice of
the next term of court be notified that
Calais expects a strict construction of
the law with the extreme penalty for
every conviction for it's violation.
This morning the police were ordered
to close every drinking place in this
city by Wednesday next, to cease
smoking on the streets, riding back and
forth on the electrics, loafing, etc. 1t is
possible that St. Stephen, n. B., just
across from Calais will enforce similar
orders.

knights of Pythias made slow progress
during long periods of business depres-
sion following 1893, vet it quickly re-
sponded to improved conditions The
net gain for the last two years was 81
500, this bringing the total membership
up to sos, 800, not including fifteen Grand
Lodges yet to be heard from-every-
thing points to a large increase during
1900.
At the recent convention of the Su-
preme Lodge there was large delega-
ton in Detroit, from California. 1t
came with a view to secure the holding
the 1902 convention in the city Of San
Francisco. 1t opened splendid room
for headquarters, and dispensed it's
hospitality with a generous hand. The
proposition to meet at the Golden
Gate" in 1902, was adopted by a unani-
nous vote.

funds contributed by the order at large

phans of the brothers who were killed

to the amount previously paid since it's
establishment, twenty-three years ago,
brings the total amount of relief thus
furnished up to S14, $50, $500. Begin
ming in a very small way in 1877, it has
steadily grown to the position it now
holds in the forefront of kindred or
CARNATIONS, a model for others to pat
tern by.
The project for the establishment of
a Pythian Sanitarium at Hot Springs,

HAIR TONIC

Ladies and GentIemen,-It has gone on record
that Madame Ya1e's Excelsior Hair Tonic is the
first and only remedy known to chemical science
found to be a genuine hair specific. 1t has an
affinity for the human hair for nourishng and in
vigorating its entire structure. 1t is antiseptic in
character as well as stimulating: its action upon
the scalp and hair is truly wonderful inasmuch
as it has never been known in single instance to
fail to scalp diseases and to create luxurant
growth Of healthy beautiful hair. 1t stops hair
falling within twenty-four hours and brings back
the natural color to gray hair in nearly every
instance 1t is not dye; it is not sticky or greasy;
on the contrary it makes the hair soft youthful
beautiful and glossy; keeps it in curl. 1t is per
feet hair dressing. and can be used by ladies'
gentlemen children as a daily toilet requisite
Its influence is delightfully."- soothing.

An Abxentminded Professor,

engaged in educational work which Is,
l think, somewhat remarkable and is
also quite true. This gentleman was
once professor of mathematics in n
fine New England college. He was
greatly interested in the work and de-
voted himself so wholly to it that n
natural tendency which he had TO alb
sentmindedness became much accen-
tuated.
One day when he had guests at din
ner and was helping them to fish from
a platter he took a plate bottom side
I'D, put a fish ON the bottom of the
plate and handed it thus to one of the
guests. There was Il laugh at once,
and his wife said, my dear. If your
observation-disclosures has gone so far that
you are serving people food on the bot
toms of plates, shall insist on your
resigning your professorship."
She did insist on it, and he resigned
and went into another and more gen.
eral field of teaching. He is still lit
tie inclined to be forgetful-like some
of the rest of us-but he has never
since served food on the bottom OF a
plate.-Boston Transcript.
