THE EARTH WARMER AND DRYER,
Such Is the Deduction from Ten Years.
Records in Boston.

Boston is growing warmer with each
successive year. meteorological observa-
tons prove this, if they prove anything,
and these observations are made with
most delicate and accurate Instruments
Heat is generated somewhere faster than
1t can be expended, so that at the end Of
each twelvemonth there is an accumula-
ton Of unexpended thermal units in the
air over and above the ordinary supply.
and with this unmistakable rise in the
general temperature comes a gradual de-
crease in precipitation, just as certain
and just as regular.
This noteworthy atmospheric eyOlu-
ton, to name it unscientifcally by what
the general public will most naturally
Identify it, has been going on for ten
years, but there has been nothing to call
it to mind as wildly as the exceptional
weather conditions of the present month.
The turn into the present unbroken chain
Of heat-storing years took place in 1898,
which was a conspicuous year for other
reasons, and obtained no special fame
for it's peculiar November weather.
Attention has been called this year re-
peatedly to the deficiency in rainfall
which, at the present day, amounts to
about II inches-enough to flood our
pleasure grounds for skating this winter
if it came at the proper time. What con-
nectlOn rain denclency mas with lncreaS-
ing heat in the atmosphere, other than
that they have Travelled together for ten
years, is not stated in the records OF me-
neurological observations.
Adding the maximum degree Of tenn
perature of each day this month up to
November % gives a total of 1909 de-
grees above zero, and for ordinary No.
vember weather, such as prevailed some
years ago, this would be enough for the
whole month and few extra days be-
sides on a somewhat hypothetical basis
of calculation. Similar figuring for the
corresponding days of 1873 gives only
1913 degrees, in 1874 it amounted to
1177, in 1875 to 1864, and in 1876 it
amounted to 1866 degrees. On NQvem-
Der %, 1893, the total temperature for
that year was 1913 degrees below the nor
NAL; in the course of only one year from
that date heat generated at an abnormal
rate, amounting to 1873 degrees above
normal on November 1, but that Novem-
Der turned out to be rather cold and re-
duced the excess to only 656 degrees
above normal on the 23d day; in 1895
the excess amounted to PSI degrees for
that year on the same date; in 1896 it
was POI, in 1897 it was 40 and in 1893
it was up to 78O degrees. With consid-
cradle variations an excess has been
maintained for ten years, and no No.
vember has added so much to the excess
as the present month.
On the opening day of the month the
excess was 276 and last Sunday it was
413 degrees above the normal accumu-
lation for year up to that date,-Bos-

STOLEN COAL.
One Railroad Said to Lose Nearly One
Hundred Thousand Tons Annually.

One Railroad Said to Lose Nearly One
Hundred Thousand Tons Annually.
The coal pirates are again busy along
the railroads. A conservative estimate
places the probable loss of coal through
thieves at from 10000 to 100000 tons
annually along the Chesapeake and Ohio
alone. Owing to the coal strike and the
nigh prices of fuel, together with the
puDllc an1mosity shown toward mine
operators, the differing this winter is ex-
peGted to be heavier than ever. =.
Inc thlevlng begins soon after the coal
mas left the mines. Miners, railroad
men, and citizens help themselves to q
Few Jumps to keep the stoves warm and
tae1r homes cheerful. Operators object a
little, it is said, to this first loss which
comes from their own men, but the TAX
ing OF coal does not stop there; it ex-
tends all along the line, and much of the
Goa! shipped is stolen at the cars desti-
nation.
If the loss to Southern railroad sys-
TENS through coal thieves has ever been
estimated the figures have not been made
RuDllc, and today some of the officials of
the railroads laugh at the suggestion that
coai Is stolen; some Of the Northern rail-
roaos entering the Pennsylvania coal
nelds. however, figure their loss through
piratlng at z per cent. of the entire ton
mage, it is said. Two per cent. of 6.OOO.-
OOO tons, the estimated tonnage Of the
chesapeake and Ohio Railway, would be
10000 tons.
From an ethical standpoint it would
seem that robbing coal trains differs
from other kinds Of theft. 1t is much
hke stealing one apple from an orchard,
theft so small that it makes little differ
0f In, ~
starts on the 800 or 400 mile journey
and people along the route help them
selves, the loss in the end is considerable.
It's not infrequent that four or five tons
are missing before the car is properly
delivered, and cases have been known
where the consigner has abandoned all
claim to the car, there being not enough
fuel left inside tG pay for the freight
charges. - ~ :. =
Moreover, scrupulous people, when it
comes to dealing with railroads, show an
elastic conscience, and beat the railroad
If they can do so legally.
The methods employed by the majority
of coal pirates are much the same On
long coal trains there are only two brake
men, who are powerless to stop Ihieving.
On sharp grades or when slowing down
dozens often board the trains and throw
off coal for a. distance of mile or more,
after which they alight and proceed to
place their spoils in "a sack. Should the
long Srain be at rest on siding near
tow5l in cold weather, the inha bitants
swarm about the cars and help them;
selves. According to one authority who.
districts there are towns where during
the period of two years not one car of
coal was sold. 5sSs

richest suckers. Thus, when a wine
flushed young millionaire came into Can
fields, he was accommodated, - spe-
cial favor, with a private room. the
"brace game" was brought out and a
brace dealer of special skill attended to
his wants. The sucker was thus
stripped with neatness and dispatch, and
nobody was by to watch the process.
The artists. who were able to manipulate
these improved layouts scorned to work
for the usual rate Of $25 day Tor night !;
they got percentage of the spoils, which
in at least one celebrated case, must
have amounted to tens of thousands of
dollars. The gambler quoted says the
brace layouts cost nearly $1,000 each.

Take Hold and Push.

Fargo Forum: The State Irrigation
Congress has been held The object
in calling it was simply to arouse an
interest on this subject in the state
and to show those in authority that
North Dakota desired to have mon
ey obtained from the sale of govern
ment land in this state. used for the
benefit of the citizens of the state.
1t is believed that there are very few
people in North Dakota who will not
consider that the expenditure of So
100000 would g benefit our COM
monwealth, and that tangible results
would not be secured from the same.
The State Congress is over and it
was an enthusiastic meeting of rep
resentative men in all lines of life in
this state. If North Dakota desired
to obtain these funds the necessary
work has just been commenced. Only
a few can realize the amount of pres
sure being brought to bear by the
states and territories of the arid west,
looking to secure some portion of the
funds of this state to assist them in
the enterprises proposed in their own
domain. 1t will be necessary for the
state to continue this agitation, and
the state needs the active assistance
of every one in Norh Dakota. The
congressional delegation are more
than willing. and in fact are anxious
to do everything to bring results to
the state. and they need your help.
Write them at once. showing the ur-
gent needs for the use of these funds
in the state; keep this agitation up
in every way possible. Those living
in the west and northern parts OF the
state where they have chance to test
irrigation should at once take up en-
terprises on a small scale and do what
they can to show in practical man
ner what the effect will be of per
manent supply of water on the land.
Intensified farming is needed from
one end of North Dakota to the 9th
er. and if this movement is started
with the energy that North Dakotans
usually exhibit the results will be ex-
tremely beneficial to this common
wealth.
