Trees And Climate

Whether forests exercise percep-
tible influence upon the climate is a
very old question, even today it is
not definitely settled, writes Doctor
Henniug at Berlin. In matiy coun-
tries a drying up of the climate has
occurred, which is shown perhaps
most strickingly in almost the whole
of a frica. That deforesting has as
sumed constantly growing propor-
tions i'll almost every part OF the
world is still more apparent. The
climate of Greece, where today only
70 per cent. of the area is covered
with forests, has deteriorated. An
increase OF temperature and decrease
of rain are noted, compared with
ancient times, especially in Attica,
which was thickly covered with
forests about 5000 years ago, and
where hardly any rain now falls,
while the heat in the open air attains
a degree which would make the
"Olympian games" almost an
impossibility.
A similar condition exists in the
Peninsula of Sinai, where thousands
of years ago the people of Israel
lived in a luXuriant and fertile
country and where today only
forestless deserts abound. Palmyra,
also once a fourishing oasis in the
Syrian desert presents only a desc
late waste of stones and ruins. In
Mexico, where the Spaniards cut
down the forests in the mountains,
droughts changing to devastating
floods are now noticeable especially
in the vicinity OF the City of Mexico.
In upper Egypt, where only 100
years ago rain was abundant,
| drought now usually prevails. In
Algeria, where since the middle of
the last century the forests have
been cut down on a large scale, dry
weather has increased, and i'll
Venezuela the level of Lake
Tacarigua, to which Alexander Won
Humbolt drew atteution, has been
lowered in consequence of deforesta-
| ton.
If these and other facts are kept
in mind the sentence, MAN ira
verses the earth and desert re-
suits" is understood.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
Of the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition Of
the mucous lining Of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
It's normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inhamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars tor any case of Deafness Caused

If we were to assemble all
those who have been curcd OF

to-day be in their graves had
not DR.. Miles been successful
in perfecting this wonderful
heart specific, they would pop
ulate a large city.
What a remarkable record
a breathing, thinking, moving
monument, composed Of human
lives,-that for which every
other earthly possession is sac
rifced.
The Miles Medical Co. re-
ceive thousands of letters from
these people like the following:
'I feel indebted to the Dr. Miles
Heart Cure for my life. 1 desire to call

my druggist and purchased two bot

New Test for Death.

Those who suffer from the fear of
premature burial will be interested
in a new method for ascertaining
whether life is extinct.
The agent used is fluorescine i'll
solution, which is injected deep in
to the tissues of the supposed
corpse. In the event of circulation
having ceased the skin and mucous
membrane become verv yellow and
the eyes assume the color of emer-
aids. If death has not taken place
the injection causes no harm and no
discoloration takes place.

their throats Our way. All this will
not make pleasant reading for the
ship subsidy people. As matter
of fact they care very little about
South American trade, but it is
convenient stalking horse to use in
raiding the Treasury for several
million dollars. The institution
that really wants the subsidy and
wants it bad is the International
Mercantile Navigation Company,
that big aggregation of English and
other steamship lines combined
about two years ago by J. p. Nor
gan & Co., Of New York.
~
The report of that company which
is largely in the Atlantic and Med
iteranean trade was made public
only a little while age and showed
that the new combine had run S3,-
600, 900 behind in the past year. 1t
is most likely that it will force the
shipping bill to the front again dur
ing the coming session and it may
be depended upon to uses every
argument outside of its own wish
for a subsidy to foster its wish.

GEORGE ABE
BUTTS IN
Humorist on Way to
Japan for
Rest.

George Ade, writer of Fables in
Slang" and composer of musical come
dies and bright dramas, as for instance
his late success, The College Widow, -
and man who makes the world laugh,
is a through passenger on the Korea
en- route to Japan. He will make the
round trip in the Pacific Mail liner.
It was thought that AIDE would re-
main here and possibly find some local
coloring for a new musical comedy.
but he says he has no such intention.
In fact he is now finishing two new
plays - American comedies - one for
Charles Frohman and one for II. w.
Savage. They viii not be ready for
submission until after his return from
the Orient.
When George AIDE was last in Homo
lulu he was still writing Fables in
Slang the works which first brought
him into prominence. Now he has
too monotonous. Since then he has
been the author of THE Sultan of
Sulu,'' Peggy from Paris The
Shotgun" and, last but not least, THE
College Widow" which is one of his
best mirth-provokers. 1t has been 50
good that Weber and Fields have bur-
Iesqued it with "A College Widower.' >
All my plays are paying well and
seem to have struck popular favor, y"
said Mr.. AIDE yesterday, but l think
shall confne myself to plain come
musical comedies
AIDE left New York and went 10 the
West Indies and Mexico coming by
the southern route into California.
AIDE is still a young man, with
smooth-shaven face. but his hair is
turning gray. A wag says this has
been caused by chasing after his
royalties and looking after so many
plays. AIDE doesn't look like a humor-
list. In fact he looks a very serious
minded young man. with humor far
tneSJ from ms thoughts. In TACT, ne
looks sad.
Unlike the Dooley contributions"
continued Ade, my articles proved too
great a task. The Dooley articles are
editorials in dialect and are construct
ed from fresh subjects in manner
that constantly interests the reader and
are cleverly handled by their author.
Hereafter I propose TO devote my time
to plays, of which l now have two in
preparation. One is for Henry Savage
and the other for Charles Frohman.
For the Savage piece we selected the
title of "A Second Time on Earth" but
later discovered that the title was al
ready in use. Consequently we aban-
doned it and have not as yet rechrist-
ened the play. For Frohman 1 am pre-
pairing a play that will be produced
first in the provinces and later in New
York. The other production will appear
first in Washington in September and if
successful it will be put on the boards
in New York City"
Mr. AIDE is accompanied on his
travels by a. S. Lafflin, a wealthy
resident of Chicago, and his wife, and
G. =. Kent of Kentwood, Ill.
AIDE is stopping at the Alexander
Young Hotel. He spent part of yesterr
day with his old Co-worker, CharlesI
H. Rhodes, of the Star.
