MAN AND METEOROL0 L0GY.

In a recent magazine article Dr. William Ira bert, French scientist and student of meteorological inhu- ences discusses at some length the question of mans influences upon weather conditions. There is say ing cxtant in the Yukon country that the chechako brings his climate with him. and therefore, Dr. Trabert's conclusions will prove of interest the people of the northland.
 Mans influence weather conditions whatever its character and extent, Dr. Trabert believes to be involuntary. and upon this basis he discusses It., making some observations that at least, interest ing An attempt has been made declares the scien- tist, to explain the increased number of storms in certain parts of the world by the abundant produc- ton of steam for purposes of industry. This theory -new to most people-hc rejects asserting that the entire volume of steam produced in Germany, coun- try containing numerous and large industrial plants, would scarcely represent evaporation of oneiourth of an inch of water to the square mile.
 Concerning what man may do however, to change weather conditions invountarily, he says: Tt Is quite different with particles of dust scattered throughout the air in great abundance by the incon- plee combustion of coal, adding: This increase of atmospheric dust contributes positive basis for densaton. It is well known that when moist air passes the of saturaton condensation takes place in particles of dust. When these particles fur nished in great quantities by the action of industrial operations the greater basis is offered for condensation The condensation of saturation a convex surface increases with the curvature of the surface that is to say with the smaness of the drops.'
 This theory is, to say the least interestingly pre-. sented If it be correct, it follows that inceease of the particles of dust in the atmosphere will tend to
 favor the supersaturaton of the air and consequently to produce abundant rains. Perhaps 1t may account
 for the heavy rains that frequently deluge the har vest fields of the great dusty interior of the United States, in which the tramp ping of hundreds Of horses and the stir Of machinery wide cause clouds of dust to arise, yelling the face of the Or it may account for the rains that nave so often ue uged battefieds the of which has been ascrheo to the heavy detonation of Be this as it may. the theory presented bp Dr. Trabert, gives room for interesting speculation upon a subject which possibly sometime in the distant future will be better understood than now.

VOICES FROM THE PAST.

Tho people of Northwestern Alaska are no more shut out from the "outside world," and commulica- tion herewith than the Pilgrim Fathers in the New England states less than two centuries ago.
 TIE NUGGET is forcbly reminded of the ;soliton of the Puritans by copy of the New Eng land Cour- ant" of date February II, 1723, which throust the courtesy of Mr. Bert Browne, have been en,5led to peruse with much interest. The "Courant" pears the imprint: "Boston: Printed and published by Benj min Franklin in Queen Street, where advGtise- ments are taken in." It is small four-page two- column paper and the greater portion of it is aken up by His Majesty's Most Gracious Speech to Both Houses of Parliament, Thursday. Cctobr II, 1722," exactly four months after the "gncious speech" was delivered which in itself shows the isola tion" of the New Englanders less than two hundred years ago, so far as communication with the nother country was concerned. From the Heading aticle' on the first page of the 'Courant,' infe that newspaper publishers. even in those days of tb dim and distant past had troubles of their own, br the "Courant's" publisher says
 "The late publisher of this paper finding s'many inconvenience would arise by carrying hismanu- scripts and public be revised by the Secretary as to render his carrying it on unproftafe, has entirely dropt the undertaking The preset Pub fisher having received the following Piece desss the Readers to accept of it Preface to what thy may hereafter meet in this Paper"
 Then follows long article which begins ''Long has the Press groaned in bringing forth an 'ateful but numerous Brood of Party Pamphlets, nlicious Scribbles and Billinsgate Ribaldry. The ancour and bitterness has unhappily infused int Mems minds, and to what Degree it has sovsd and leavn'd the Tempers of Persons formerly 'teemed some of the most sweet and affabe is too vel known here to need further Proof Representation ef the matter" The writer then goes on to say hat the "present Undertaking" is designed purelyfor the "Diversion and Merriment of the Reader, and he adds 'Pieccs of Pleasancy and Mirth haye' secgt charm in them to allay the Heats and TuoursSof our Spirits and to make Man forget b restless 1 Resentments They have strange powe to tunrl harsh Disorders of the Soul and to reduc'us to X Serene and placid State of Mind" All of 'ich goes to show that the Puritan editor of Boeto,,aper in

the beginning of the eighteenth cen tury was not only philosopher, but a dealer in sarcasm as well.
 The diminutive paper contains but little "nrwo" and but few ad- vertisements. We select two:
 "Th- hest new Philadelphia Town boulted Flower, to be sold by MT. William Clark in Merchants Row, at Twenty-Elght Shilllngs per Hun dred.
 "A Servant Boys Time for 4 years to be disposed Of. He IS about 16 years of age, and can keep Accompts. Enquire at the Blue Ball in Union Street and know fur ther."
 Mr. Browne is also the owner of a copy of paper called the ''Western Federalist," published in Auburn, N. Y.. April p, 1916.
 On its first page is the legend The freedom of the press is the bulwark of liberty" Editorially, il bewails the political defeat of the Federalists in Connecticut by the Democrats. but its editor comforts himself by the returns from Massa' chusetts, in which are chronicled the election of General Brooks as gov ernor, and it is stated that Brooks election is indeed glorious tri. umph of principle and morality uso- .ie sl.ir,t nf faction and apost acy."
 All of which goes to show that ir those old days politics was pretty much as 1t Is today.

Besides the work being done on placer claims this winter, there is a great deal of activity noticeable in the development of quartz claims. This is indeed gratifying, since it shows the faith of many quartz miners in the future of this section as quartz producer.

A VITAL QUESTION.
The Depostors Of tho Wrecked City Savings Bank Of
Detroit Are Anxious About It.

Detroit, Mich, Feb. 1.-THE most vi
tai question to the depositors of the
wrecked City Savings bank is whether
the checks which Cashier H. A. An
drews certified for F. G. Andrews, when
he had no funds in bank, amounting to
$662, 900 and which the latter deposited
among four other local banks and a
trust company are legal. If they are
held to be illegal because Of Cashier
Andrews having certified them with
out the knowledge Of the directors, it
is thought the assets Of the City Saw
ings bank, with what has been turned
in to it by F. c. Andrews, will be suffi-
cfent to pay the depositors in full. On
the contrary, If they are held to be
legal, it will take just that amount
from the depositors.
President F. G. Pingree said today
he believed the checks would be decid-
ed illegal and depositors would receive
at last rs cents on the dollar.
F. C. Andrews has not turned over to
the City Savings bank any Of the Sc
curities he took out Of the other
banks with the certified checks, and
their whereabouts is not known.

Judge John a. MeFls Mas Appointed Receiver for the
CochItI Company

Judge John R. McFie has appointed
William Spencer receiver OF the mines,
mill and other property OF the Cochiti
Gold Mining Company at Bland, Berna-
lilo county The application for re-
ceiver was made in the district court

ing the mill at big loss for several
months and at present owes its employees
and other creditors more than $500, 900.
1t is claimed that the vast body of ore
at the famous Albemarle mine has
reached so low grade that it will not
pay to work it with the present methods.
The stock of the company, has lately
dropped to 20 cents a share, the par
value being $10 Chester Coram of
Boston, member of the company, who
has been in New Mexico the past few
weeks, declares tht the corporation will
be reorganized, that every dollar of in
debtedness will be paid and that the
large cyanide plant at Bland will treat
the rich ore from the Lone Star and
other properties not so long acquired in
the Cochiti district by the Navajo Min
ing and Milling Company composed of
the stockholders of the Cochiti Com
pany The closing of the Albemarle
mine and mill will be severe blow to
Bland.

AN ERRONEOUS INTERPRETATION.
A Decision By the Colorado Court Of Appeals Not as
Sweeping as at First Reported.

Denver, Colo. Feb. 1.-THE impress
sion that the Colorado court of appeals
in reversing the decision Of the district
court of Ell Paso county, which dismiss
ed the suit against the Denver and Rio
Grande Railway Company for damag-
es resulting from fire which Destroy
ed much property in Colorado Springs
ON August /, 1898; decided that the rail-
way company was responsible for loss
es entailed by fire, proves erroneous.
The court of appeals merely decided
the lower court erred in limiting the
plaintiff to one of the four causes of
action named in the complaint, and in
excluding testimony which was offer
ed. The effect of the decision Is to re-
open the question Of liability for dam
ages resulting from the fire.

POLYGAMY IN UTAH.
It Is Practced and Taught by the MOrmons In 0efancs
of the State Laws.

Salt Lake, Utah, Feb. 1.-THE minis.
terial alliance of Salt Lake has unani
mously adopted the report of the com.
mittee Of that organization appointed
to investigate the alleged practice and
teaching of polygamy by Mormons
This report Is to be used as a petition
for the passage of a constitutional
amendment prohibiting polygamy. and
will be sent to the judiciary commit
tees in congress. The report, which is
quite lengthy, sets forth that positive
evidence can be produced that polyga-
my is both practiced and taught by
Mormons at the present time, in open
defiance of the laws Of the state. The
document contains numerous quoted
statements, alleged to have been made
by Mormon leaders, in which the prac-
tice and teaching of polygamy are ad-
vocated and urged regardless of man
made laws to the contrary.
Among the specified statements by
the church leaders given is the follow
ing: Joseph F. Smith, formerly chief
counsellor to President Snow, and now
president of the church, said in 1896,
while dedicating a meeting house In
Payson: Take care Of your polygamous
