Why the weather is warm
80 having been chilly or cooi; why
1t does not rain. and what is the na
ture of the haze that lies over every
thing we do not know, and there
seems none anxious TO enlighten us.
Does the earth in its journey around
the sun enter at its time into por-
ton of the surrounding ethe.
whose condition is such as TO pro-
duce higher temperture in our at
mosphere, as we at more or less def
mite times enter a belt of meteors?
Science seems to have no very sure
answer. All We know is that it does
become warm that the haze does APP
pear. The early colonists in Amer
lea supposed the haze to be smoke
from the burning over of the western
praries by the Indians, aud hence the
season was called Indian summer.
The settlers were not in the main
scientific people, but their view of
the matter is, perhaps, just as close
to the explanation as that of most
people of the present day. We are
told in general terms that the haze
is due to the evaporation of the
earth's moisture, but there may be a
good deal more to be said about it
than this, and the connection be
tween the smoke of forest trees and
burning praries and the condensation
of moisture may not be a remote one.
Prof. William Morris Davis, of Har-
ward, in his elementary Meteorol-
ogy," says that haze is not generally
understood, but that in America it is
generally due to water particles in
the air. Sometimes, however, it
arises from the smoke from the for
est fires, and in Europe is occasionally
the result of smoke burning peat boys
of considerable extent. Sometimes.
according to him, it is very fine min.
eral dust gathered from praries and
suspended or carried far away by
winds. The dust and smoke may be
carried hundreds sometimes even
thousands-of miles by the wind.
Prof. John AItken, an English
scientist, holds that if there were no
dust In the atmosphere there would
be no condensation of moisture, no
fog, no clouds, and perhaps no rain.
He has satisfied himself by careful
and elaborate experiments that, save
In every rare instances where electri
cal disturbances achieve the result.
there can be no condensation of
moisture without free surface for il
to form on. We're it not for the
dust particles, he has declared, the
moisture would condense upon OBJ
jects on the earth, and every tree.

every house, aud. in fact, every ob
!ec', including human being and an

water all the time. These views be

AN OUTLAW BEAVER

A curious episode of beaver life
is told b. A. Radcliffe Dugmore
in the March Every body's Maga

recently formed in the National

of Beaverton were put in force.
1t was decided that there was one
beaver too many, and, according
10 their laws, he must either be
take himself to some other local
ity or submit to an untimely death.
Now, the victim chosen-wheth-
cr by ballot or by what other
means, who shall say had to
leave the colony, and, as it was
impossible for him TO get off Of
his own accord, death would have
been his lot had he not been saved
by the keeper. For a short time
he was kept in q cage, until =

The enclosure in which 1 found
him leading his lonely life.
Being a solitary bachelor, he
had not rs yet gone in for regular
housekeeping--perhaps he thinks
it scarcely worth while building a
house until he has a mate. AS it
is he has made a burrOw in the
bank with the entrance at the
level OF the water. In this he
spends his days, seldom coming
out at all before sunset, and fre
quentiy much later. On leaving
his underground house he il
vWiablv goes directly to the fence
corner, where he stands watching
his former companions for as
much as half an hour at a time
They, on tHe contrary, seldom pay
the least attention TO him. From
their lodge came the sound OF
mulfied voices; evidently they
we're holding an animated con
vogsation in beaver language. Il
is 4 strange sounding language
like a mixture Of subdued chill
drcn's voices and The crying of a

demanded, petitioning however,
that the sentences on Chao Shu

strangulation instead of decapi-
tation. To this the foreign en-
voys have agreed. The question,
therefore, is virtually settled,
