Washington, Nov. IL Charges
against General Burlington have been
filed at the war department by Will

Is OUR CLIMATE CHANGING,

This is the mildest winter we have
had in forty years. says the Oldest in
habitant. Is our climate changing? "Oh
yes, the climate is changing When I was
a boy back in York state and when L
came to Minnesota we never had less
than four feet of snow every winter and
1 remember number of winters way
back when the thermometer stood at 40
below, for weeks at a time. On, yes, the
climate is changing, the winters are not
near SO long as when 1 was a boy in
the forties''
The above and similar remarks can be
heard on every hand when the subject
Of weather, or the mild winter just clos
ing are up for discussion
There is a universal feeling that the
climate of the United States is changing;
that the winters are growing milder, with
less snow; that the summers are less
torrid; that great storms are less fire.
quent; in short, that the climate is more
equabIe as the years roll by. There is
scarcely a man living who will recognize
a winter of his childhood in one of the
modern winters The same rs true of the
other seasons.
How much Of this is owing to the
change from the boy to the man and
how much to actual change of climate?
With the exception of slight
n iY1oin in ha oil in
the wooded districts of the Northern
states there has been for the last century
no change of climate whatever. Seasons
will occur with characteristics out of the
ordinary, perhaps two or three years in
succession, but the average is made up
in cycle of twenty years.
The cutting of forests and the draining
Of swamps has reduced the rainfall in
some sections, by reducing the surface
of local evaporation. 1t is possible that
in Minnesota and Wisconsin this is the
case. The winters with four feet of
snow seldom come now, although it was
winter with too much snow for the
lumbermen to work in the woods
