CLIMATIC CHARGES.
Chief of Forestry Bureau Declares That They Are Caused by Ex-
 tensfve Timber Cutting.

Clifford Pinchot, chief of the fores- try bureau, who has done so much to arouse national interest in this sub ject, is now on tour of inspection, but the acting head of the bureau gave it as his opinion that the hot spells of the middle west were undoubtedly due in part to the destruction of the for ests, especially in Michigan and Minnesota, about the head waters of the streams. .sIf the people of the west continue to alter the face of na- ture,' he said, they must expect to change natural conditions. Where hundreds of acres were formerly GOV cred with pines and preserved the snows to supply the streams in sum- mer there is now bleak prairie. Through Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and other states in that region the farms have been cleared of timber, and con- ditions are different from what they were a hundred years ago. Just how much effect this clearing process has had upon the temperature and climate of these states it is impossible to say, but we believe that if there were more forests and timber land extreme heat and cold would be avoided"

 Java, Returns from Expedition.

Dr. A. W. Nieuwenhuis, medical commissioner of the Dutch army in Java, has arrived at San Francisco on his way to Holland. He has been ex- ploring the wilds of Borneo and in travelling from the west to the east coast of that country he says he has done what no white man has ever done before. On his expedition he had three white men and three natives. He won the friendship of the Dyak tribes in the interior by curing many of them of malaria by the use of quinine and they rendered him valu- able assistance. He found the natives very superstitious, though well dis posed toward white men.
 The party made valuable collections of animals and plant life and gathered many geological specimens Dr. Nieuwenhuis has submitted many recommendations to the Dutch civil officers at Batavia for the extension of Dutch governmental authority to the Interior of Borneo.

BODIES DEFECTIVE.
Large Percentage of College Men
 Are Physically Unsound.
pr. seaver, Yale Gymnasium Direc- tor, Gives Results After Examin- ing 10000 Students in Eighteen
 American Universities.

Twenty thousand students of American universities have been ex- amined to find out how great per- centage are physically unsound and to classify their bodily defects.
 Dr. Jay w. Seaver, Yale gymnasium director, has completed the statistics which have been prepared from IS leading universities and the results of the investigation show an alarming condition of physical imperfection.
 Dr. Seaver finds the most common physical defect is spinal curvature or scoliosis. He has kept a record of the members of each freshman class at Yale the last five years who have been afflicted with this imperfection. He has found total of TIT, which is a percentage of 5.6 of the 2,o57 students examined for this special weakness. He has divided the students examined into three groups. Of the students who are scholarship leaders IS per cent. are scoliotic; of the ordinary students 5.5 per cent. are afflicted with the disorder, while only 1-7 per cent. of the athletes are thus afflicted.
 From the examination of 10000 stu dents in IS universities it has been proven that 3.S per cent. are suffering from hernia. Dr. Seaver says that the percentage of Yale students who suf- fer from hernia is. 3 per cent. and that seven out of every ten who have the weakness have been cured by taking systematic prescribed exercise.
 Dr. Seayer finds from examination of several thousand students that 53 per cent. have defective eyesight and that IS per cent. of the young men whc enter college are forced to wear glasses when they arrive.
 Dr. Seaver claims all the examina- tions show that consistent gymnasium and theletic exercise removes the greater part of physical defects to which college undergraduates, even more than the average mortal, are haiT. .tO

WOMEN TO HUNT LIONS.
Three Have Planned to Invade the Rocky Mountains-One Is
 from Chicago.

Three women will go from Denver into the Rocky mountains to hunt mountain lions and other wild game. They will go to Sweetwater lake and will remain probably two months. They are: Mrs. Jeannette Putnam, Mrs. Thomas Chivington and Miss Lou Bergh. Miss Bergh is Denver ste- nographer. Mrs. Burlington is from Chicago. She is visiting Miss Bergh. Mrs. Putnam is of Rock Island, Wis. She is the champion woman rife shot of Wisconsin. She has hunted all through. that state, and will now try her hand at the big game of the Rock ies. She says that she has been after musl1ellunge and wildcat and has often brought down deer. She has been to Sweetwater once before and is the only woman that has ever 3en- tered that region, which for years has been almost inaccessible.
 ''Ne shall take the train to Gypsum, g says Mrs. Putnam, .sfrom there we shall have a 25-mile ride by stages. The country is picturesque and wild. Mountain lions, wildcat and bear are thick, and we are sure to have enough shooting to keep us busy. We shall sleep in tent and eat little that we do not shoot. Grouse are so plentiful that we are not likely to go hungry"

SYSTEM OF IDENTIFICATION.
Capt. KuIp. Assistant Army Surgeon, Suggests n Simpler Method fOr
 Use i'm the Army.

An army medical officer criticises the method of military Identification in vogue at all recruiting depots as cumbersome, costly and expensive as to time Capt. John S. Kulp, assistant surgeon, on duty in New York city, suggests that the recruit, stripped, be placed before big chart with arms outstretched, and there photographed. This will enable the plotting of every linear measurement of the body of the recruit.
 The apparatus required for the sys- tenn consists of a sheet of muslin 61A feet square, stamped in figures, and having a black space on it for the re- cording of the name and age of the re- cruit, name of examining surgeon, and date of examination, and a camera which, for the sake of uniform results, should have a fixed focus.
 The photographs, Capt. Kulp sug- gests, should be filed at the war de- pertinent and indexed, to permit ref erence and comparison on occasion.
 The progress made in photography makes it possible for photographs to be taken on paper which do not re- quire developing, toning, or the fixing of baths, all that is necessary being immersion in water.
 Capt. Kulp believes that the present system is one which means a great loss of time in period of war, and that the system he suggests would ac- complish all that the present methods do.

TINY GIRL CLAIMS. TO BE WE'D.
seven-Year-OId Children United in Mock Ceremony Fight Against
 Separation by Parents.

Little Ruth Cook, the seven-year-o old daughter of E. J. Cook, of Sterling, Ill.,, refuses to be ccnforted because her parents tell her she is not the wife of seven-old Johnnie Rife, son of Wesley Rife, of Sterling. On Monday evening a party of friends of both families as- sembled at the Rife home. The chill dren had in all seriousness declared that they wanted to get married, and their parents humored them to the ex- tent of a mock ceremony. Both the little principals were dressed for the occasion, and the tiny bride carried huge bouquet. A wedding feast was served. It was all interesting until the parents of the child bride attempted to get her to go home. She rebelled. Strong persuasives were employed to get her home, but she was out early in the morning looking for her husband and her parents, and the boys family, as well, have not yet succeeded in mak- ing the children believe the wedding was only a joke.

Boleros still particularly persist as a style feature, the latest effects in them being jeweled.
 A small oblong platter is called a sandwich tray. It is a convenient size and shape for sandwiches.
 A stylish three-quarter coat ot English make has the sleeves carried over the shoulder to the collar.
 Dotted swiss is again to enjoy a vogue. There has never been found a satisfactory substitute for this de- lightful material.
 Artists bows, with very narrow, short loops and flowing ends in gren- adine. Louisine and foulard, are a new notion in neckties.
 Silk Cluny lace flowers beautifully tinted are new trimming. Used as applique work on organdie or sheer gowns they are highly ornamental.
 Blouses are now tucked all over or set in diagonal cordings, and the slanting lines are more becoming to the figure than straight tucks or cordings.
 A lovely gown lately seen was of light tan cloth, with skirt ornament ed with five rows of velvet of deep CT shade, that became broader to- ward the foot.
 Even glove buttons for fall are to show the art nouveau craze. Heads and other ideas in relief are to be seen upon even these trifling parts ot the feminine costume.

EXPEDITION 4 SUCCESS.
Lasut- BerthoIf Succeed. in Securing Reindeer i'm Northeastern
 Siberia

News was received at the bureau
 f education of the entire success of Lieut. Bertholf's expedition after reindeer in northeastern Siberia. The information came in long cable message from Lieut.. Bertholf, dated Vladivostol, where he arrived a few days ago after a perilous trip of nearly 1000 miles by reindeer and dog teams over the snows of sub arctic Siberia He informed the bureau that he had purchased 500 deer at 13 rubles each, with a pros pect of 100 more.
 The deer are now awaiting ship ment, and Lieut.. Bertholf says that he will charter steamer immediate ly and transport the animals to Port Clarence, Alaska, where he expects to arrive the latter part of August. He says that it is entirely feasible to obtain reindeer in the interior of Siberia far superior to the deer that have hitherto been obtained on the coast and transported to the various reindeer stations on the American side of the Behring sea-. He asks the authority of the interior department to contract for 1000 deer to be deliv- cred in the summer of 1902.
 The interior department is greatly pleased with the result of Lieut. Bertholf's expedition, and it is prob able that he will make another trip to Siberia next year. The travelling necessary to obtain the reindeer was exceedingly difficult, and Lieut.. Bertholf, who is an officer in the rev enue cutter service, was selected be- cause of his experience in arctic travelling, obtained in the winter of 1s97-9s, when he was a member of the famous Jarvis expedition to re- ieve the ice-bound whalers at Point Barrow in the Arctic ocean. At that time he made a sledge trip of nearly 1,SOO miles in midwinter and drove herd of reindeer before him.

CHURCH IN A RAILWAY CAR.
An Arrangement by Which Religious Devotees in Russia Can Excuse
 Travel on the Sabbath.

The Russians are naturally a devout people and even when taking long journey almost always contrive to spend the Sabbath in some place where they can attend church, says London exchange.
 The first travellers on the trans-Si- berian railway, however, soon found that this could not easily be done, and many of them were sorely grieved at the thought that if they wanted to travel in this way they would have to give up some of their customary devo- tions A happy idea then occurred to one of them and he at once set about carving it into execution. Going to the railroad. officials, he suggested that a special carriage be set aside for church services, and so eloquently did he argue in favor of the project that he soon carried his point, with the re- suit that a few days later a so-called church car was placed at the disposal of travellers.
 This ear is seemingly much like any other, and yet it is widely different. Over the entrance is cross and much of the exterior carving and other orna- mentation has distinctly religious significance The interior has been fitted with all the accessories of a church, and anyone entering it would see at once that it was intended for divine worship

RANCH NA41D : os< m'KINLEY.
The Purchase of Which Hinged Upon
 the Presidents First Election ' 'i
 Grows Grape Fruit.

A good many children of the male persuasion have been named after President Mckinley, but it has re- mained for a California woman to fasten the presidential cognomen upon a tract of land, says the Chi cago Record-Herald. The first gen tleman of the republic feasted brief season ago upon some of the most luscious fruit it had ever been his privilege to sample. Grape fruit it was; large, juicy, grateful and com forting. The label on the basket showed it to be from "The Mckinley tract, Redlands, Cal.' After eating of the fruit the president had to sug- gest the story, and here it is: Mrs. David Mercy, a woman who was the pioneer in the growing of oranges in the Redlands section, feasted her eyes several years ago upon nine-acre tract of land adjoining some of her property. She wanted to buy, but the owner said her nay. He wanted the tract himself.
 Just before the first Mckinley cleo ton, however, the owner, being in need of money, told Mrs. Mercy she might have the acres. And then it was the lady's turn to hesitate. She didn't know how the election was go- ing, but she had a pretty clear idea that it would be bad for the business oI the country if Bryan were elected. So she told the owner that if the election went MeKinley's way she would buy the nine acres. If the gentleman from Nebraska was elect ed she wouldn't buy.
 Papers were signed on the day the official retnrns were announced.

 At last the much talked of and much objected to earth bank on upper Main street is occupying the attention of the town workmen. To-day gang of men began work with teams and are removing the bank along its entire length to the street line. Property owners who desire any portion of the bank removed along their property may have it done by making the prop CT arrangements. The soil taken from this bank will be carted to Maple street and placed upon that thorough fare, placing it in passable condition. The removal of this quantity of earth from the surface will necessitate the sinking of water pipes slightly before the cold weather sets in.

The popular idea that feathers are nonconductor of electricity, laboring under which delusion many people scary about lightning climb under feather beds, even in summer, was ex- ploded in very remarkable manner during the recent heavy thunderstorm at Chambersburg, Pa. While the storm was at its worst a bolt of light ming struck the center of the public square of a country town and struck a rooster which was running across the opening. It hit him square on the head, and, of course, killed him in stantly, and also burned all the feath- CTS off his back and sides.
