4 nap YEAR F'oR THEORIES.

The present season has disposed of q
whole lot of fanciful theories as to the
law governing droughts and rainfall.
For years past the papers have teemed
with articles based upon the assump-
ton that the destruction of the forests
of the country was diminishing the
rainfall eAd producing disastrous
droughts; that the drainage of the
swamp lands and shallow lakes and
the tile draining Of the farms were
largely responsible for the dry weather,
and many there were who believed in
these theories. Now, here comes the
summer of 1902 with such a general
and unusual fall of rain during four
months period all through the Mis-
sissippi valley region that all these
fancy theories are completely exploded.
The truth is that trees grow where
rain falls, and the rain does not fall
because the trees grow. The drainage
of the soil does just as much to keep
it moist in dry time as 1t does to keep
it dry in wet one. Nothing which
man does or can do can enlarge or di-
lDiulSu IuC Eulllul VI PlCNSAC AOONc
or droughts in the smallest degree. AT
best man can only modify effects OF
both, and this he can do and does by
drainage, conservation of moisture by
proper tillage and tempering the force
and aridity of the winds by planting
forests, and by removing them can pro
ducc floods, dry up the springs, destroy
the water powers and convert forest
areas into bleak and desert territory,
but he never runs the waterworks I'M
der any circumstances. The records
Of fifty or more years show that sea-
sons or periods of extreme drought and
excessive rainfall come in cycles; like
wise seasons Of extreme heat and cold.
A season which gives the exact mean
or average Of heat, cold and precipita-
ton is much rarer than one which goes
to extremes in some form or other.

SUFFRAGE NOT FOR JAPANESE.

Chicago, Oct. 3-After vainly search

Justify different decision, Judge Car
ter refused yesterday to grant natural

anese, who made application with a
view of becoming a citizen of the
United States.
"The statute on naturalization" said
Judge Carter. reads that any free
white man, or any native of Africa, or
any alien Of African descent may be
naturalized, but that does not apply to
Mongolians, and a Japanese is surely a
Mongolian.'
The only decision bearing directly on
the case which Judge Carter could find
was one made by Massachusetts court
and that was to the effect that an ap-
plication from such source could not

MORE SPEED FOR SHIPS.
New cunarders Will Be Fast Boats,
lonu and Swift.

Long and Swift.
London, Oct. 1.-The designs for the
two new Cunarders, which will be built
on the Clyde, have not been completed,
but tentative plans and drawings have
been inspected by the admiralty officials
and the directors of the company.
The tonnage, length and engine pow
er will depend upon the speed which
will be attempted, and until this is de-
termined neither designs can be pre-
pared nor bids offered. The gain in
speed since 1910 has been about two
and one-half knots in each decade, but
every additional knot represents an
enormous increase in the cost of con-
struction and consumption of coal.
Engineers estimate that the new
Cunarders, if designed for speed OF
twenty-four knots, will need to be 750
feet long and will cost about ,O0C
each. The fast German liners now
atioat have averaged about $3,OOO,O00,
but the Kaiser Wilhelm H., now under
construction, will be still faster and
will cost considerably more than So
100000. If the designers are required
TO produce twenty-five knot ships they
will be forced to increase the length OF
the vessels and run up the cost above
S4,50O,O00.
There appears no reason for modify
ing the opinion that the next develop
ment of the subsidy policy will involve
the establishment of fast steamship
service between Canada and Liverpool,
All prominent Canadians here consider
this result as the inevitable sequel to the
Morgan combination. The question is
complex one since the dominion does
not and cannot own DR. control abso-
lutely every service by which a fast
steamship will be enabled to compete
with the Morgan fleet.
Canadians here agree that a subsi-
died line is Indispensable to control
immigration and for active competition
in the freight traffic, and that the i'm
perial government viii. not refuse its
corporation so soon as the colonial
officials are prepared to settle the CUES
ton.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier had a busy day
yesterday at the Windsor hotel. With
so much work in arrears, his departure
for Scotland was deferred twenty-four
hours. His health has greatly improved
during his journey on the continent.
He is reticent respecting the commer-
cial relations between France and Can
ada, but is intensely interested in the
Roumanian, shipping, and trust cues
tions, altho unwilling to allow himself
to be quoted.

Lives Lost in That Vicinity Since

Wilkesbarre, Pa, March "A heavy
rainfall and rush of water from it's up
per tributaries caused the north branch
of the Susquehanna river to rise rap
idly to-day. This evening the gauge
showed 81 feet and 8 inches. 1t is
thought that there will be another
rise of a few inches before the water
recedes. To-day's high water mark
is equal to that of 1865, which has al
ways been known as a record breaker.
The water is over. the banks of the
river from Pittsburg to Nanticoke and
resembles a vast lake. Nearly one
half of the city is under water. All
the streets in West Pittston are UNI
der several feet of water.
Two hundred families living in the
lowlands of the town of Plymouth had
to leave their houses hastily this aft
ernoon, the water covering the first
floors and putting out the fires.
At Naticoke several houses were
swept away by the rushing waters,
and the people living in them had a
narrow escape with their lives. The
flooding of the boiler room of the power
houses of the Wilkesbarre and Wyom-
ing Valley Traction Company disabled
the electric railway system of the
whole valley. The Lehigh Valley Rail
road was able to get a train from
Mauch Chunk this afternoon. 1t was
the first train from the East since
Friday afternoon.
Reports from the mines show that
many of them were flooded, and il
will take some days before they can
be pumped out
Nine lives have been lost so far. The
casualties for the past twenty-fouI
hours were three.
The damage to property is already
estimated at 81 900 900
