HAS THE CLIMATE cnANGEDp
Discussion OF Apparent Change ia the
Texas Trans-PecOs Country.

The remarkable change in the
climate of the Trans Pecos coun-
try, which began about eighteen
months ago. has excited consider
able discussion. Nobody doubts
that if the change be permanent
this will become, to a considerable
extent, farming country. During
the past season everything that
was planted grew and the harvest
was abundant The weather thus
far leads many TO believe that next
season will be equally favorable ia
the farmers. Indeed, the ground
is now 20 thoroughly wet that not
more than half a. much rain will

to make good cropd. Aud if there
are two good seasons, why not

A good many people are begin.
ming to believe the change Is per
manent, and a. there il no effect
without cause, those of a philo-
sophie turn Of mind are inquiring
what brought about the wonderful
change OF the various explana-
tons offered, two are worthy Of
serious thought. First, the settle.
ment of the country; second, the
formation Of the Salton Sea in
what has heretofore been a desert
basin in Southern California
The belief that the settlement
aud cultivation Of a country by
civilized men does change the eli
mate is widespread and is not
confined to the illiterate; many
scientists are Of this opinion.
There are on record abundance of
facts to support this view On the
contrary, relapse of the people Of

neglect of cultivation seems TO work
an unfavorable change in the eli.

mate. A striking example Of the
latter is found in Syria, which to-
day could not possibly sustain the
population il had in the days OF
Solomon.
As TO the second cause, il is
scarcely probable that so small a
body OF water as the Salton Sea
alone would exert an appreciable
influence on the climate at such a
distance. But there are, in add.
ton, numerous and extensive ar
tificial lakes at various places in
northern Mexico, New Mexico and
Arizona, which have been made
within recent years for irrigation
purposes, and innumelable small
lakes or tanks" built by ranch
men for watering live stock. II is
not unreasonable that the COM
bined influence of all these has
modified the climate to a consider.
able extent.
But it is not yet safe to assume
that we have done with drouths.
Indeed, it is hardly possible that
80 great a change could be effected
in 80 short a time. All we can
safely do is to hope that they will
continue gradually to become less
frequent and less protracted. In
the meantime, let us make the
most Of the good seasons we are
now enjoying, without stalking too
much on the future. Alpine Ava

DR., KoEHNE COMING \ i N
To Lecture Here on "The Reason
ableness Of Christianity"

Worthlngton has been so fortu-
nate as to secure a course OF
lectures from DIR. Koehne, the noted
Biblical scholar. This course con-
sists of series Of eight lectures.
treating topically and historically
the Christian religion, beginning
with q study of it's predecessor, the
religion of the Jews. The general
theme is 1.-THE Nazarene, or the
Resonableness of Christianity
The subjects of the several lecturers
are as follows:~
/. The Preparation for Christi
anity Through Judaism; or, Tb"
Tragedy of Race. ..-5
2 The Apostolic Age; or the Con-
fiict Between Caesar and the
Christians.
3 The Reformation.
4 Agnosticism.
s A Challenge to Modern Skep-
ticism.
6 The Crucifixion.
z Immortality
8 The Great Miracle Problem.
This lectureship, on 1.-THE Reason
ableness of Christianity" popular
ice some of the evidences for the
enrichment of thought and life and
the breaking down of certain modern
forms of doubt and unbelief; hence.
this many sided discussion.
DR.. Koehne gave up his work as
q pastor several years ago in order
to devote his life to arouse a mole
lively interest in religious matters
among the men of America. In
order to accomplish this he prepared
with great care and after exhaustive
study and research this course, and
that he has done his work we'll is
attested by the glowing testimonials
given him by many of the ablest
authorities in America.
These lectures are not in any
sense a series of revival sermons,
but they treat the subject largely
from an historical and philosophical
point of view. In fact the series
can be considered as a very thorough
cause of instruction in Christian
history and philosophy, and should
be heard by all who want to be-
come better informed on this sub
ject.
The lectures are free in that no
admission is charged but collec-
ton is taken up every evening to
defray local expenses, and on the
last evening collection will be
taken up for DR.. Koehne when
everyone will he expected to con-
tribute, on honor, according to the
benefit received from the lectures.
These terms are very liberal. and
no one should miss the lectures.
The use of the Presbyterian
church has been secured for the
course, and if DR.. Koehne receives
the hearing to which his distin-
guished achievements as student
and abilities as an orator entitle
him, this largely building should
be packed to the doors every night.
The course will begin on the
evening of Nov. %, and continue
until the eight lectures are deliver
ed.
Before the engagement with DR..
Koehue was concluded Rev. Elwln
W. Lanham of the Presbyterian
church was delegated as committee
of one to go and hear him, and on
his fattering report the engage
ment was at once completed. Mr..
Lanham has given the Club the
following written testimonial:

request for testimonial of the
