Forests and the Hot Wave.
From the Philadelphia Press.

While the attention of the entire coun-
try has been turned to the overheated re-
gfons Of the west all sorts OF sugges-
tions have been made as to the reason for
the extent and duration Of the great July
hot wave. Most of these are frivolous
and smack Of the Quack prophet. One
suggestion, however, that Is being pretty
generally taken mp. though no less frivol-
Gus than the others, has acquired a GER
tain dignity by reason Of an alleged off,
ciai Endorsement on the part Of the De-
partment Of Agriculture. This suggestion
Is the one attributing the severity of our
hot waves to the increase Of deforestation
due to advancing civilization. Aside from
the fact that over a large portion OF the
overheated region there are more trees
than ever before, owing to the forestation
Of areas originally open prairie, the real
truth is that our great hot waves are due
not to local causes, but to changes In the
general circulation Of the globe. cosmical In
origin and terrestrial in effect. When these
general causes set UP hot waves over a
given region the forested areas mitigate
and moderate to A certain extent the ex-
tremes Of heat possible under the given
general conditions. but neither the charac-
ter nor extent Of the deforested or unfor-
ested areas causes the hot waves.

LAUREL. Nd. August Q. 1901.
Information is received here to the effect
that each delegation to the late republi-
can county convention held at Upper Marl-
boro has been asked for affidayits showing
how the delegates voted upon the candi-
dates for county commissioner. 1t is ex-
pected that when these affidavits have been
received they will show that Mr.. Luther
Brashears, the candidate from the tenth or
Laurel district, received the majority Of
the votes in the convention and will most
likely be placed upon the ticket. A promi-
nent republican officer holder Of the county
is stated to have made the assertion the
day following the convention that there bad
been a mistake made in announcing the
vote, and that Mr.. Brashears had received
a majority of the votes and would be
placed upon the ticket, notwithstanding
the fact that the ticket had been made out
In full.
This question received a good deal of at
tention at the republican state convention
held in Baltimore Tuesday last, when q
suggestion was made for Intervention on
the part of the party leaders to have Mr..
Brashears put upon the county ticket.

Counterfeit Coins in Baltimore.

Counterfeit ten-cent pieces are circulating
quite freely In certain sections Of North

made OF a mixture OF lead and aluminium
and those which have appeared SO far bear
q 1901 date. The counterfeit Is considered
very good. the pieces having a bright ap-
pearance and enough of Jingle when
dropped to fool even experts at first. A
barbershop on North Mount street has re-
ceived half dozen or so Of the spurious
pieces within the last few days. and many
of the customers assert that they have been
yictimixed of late. One man In the neigh
borhood is said TO have had number of
the pieces palmed or on him.
