cold north winds have a much greater
specific gravity than warm and
humid winds, and this condition,
added to the force with which they
come, scatter and diffuse the be-
fouled air near the surface of the
earth. Enough has been said to in
dictate that climate is nearly as i'm
portant part of the environment
of animal life as it is of the vegetable
existence. and that wide range of
annual temperature, if it be not so
great as to limit the production of
cereal crops, favors the development
of strong races of men.

MESMER'S METHODS.
He Influenced Patients by Sugges-
ton, but Hid Real Power.


Mesmer published in 1878 his &C.
count of the marvellous cures effected
by what he was pleased to term an
imal magnetism. When in 177S he
came to Paris he came with well de-
veloped sense of the value of advertis-
ing. The campaign he inaugurated was
of a character to disgust the conserva-
tive and thoughtful, but to take a SEN
sation loving populace by storm. Most
extravagant tales of cures he had &C
complished in Berlin, Vienna and else
where were noised abroad. Through
convert he challenged the physicians
Of Paris to enter into contest with
him, they to treat twelve patients by
the orthodox methods, he to treat
twelve by his. Of course this challenge
was rejected, and equally Of course
its rejection was interpreted by the
thoughtless as an acknowledgment of
the superiority Of Mesmer's treatment
His rooms were thronged. His purse
waxed constantly heavier.
The treatment he gave was such as
to appeal vividly to the Imagination Of
the patient-in a word, to increase his
suggestibility. Suggestion, indeed, was
its root element, although Mesmer fail
| ed or pretended to fail to recognize this
| and taught that its efficacy depended
upon the effluence Of mysterious
fluid. I'm room dimly lighted and
hung with mirrors the patients were
seated about a circular vat of con-
siderable size covered with lid and
containing various chemicals. A long
cord connected the patients with one
another, while in the lid Of the tub
were several holes, through each OF
which passed an iron rod bent in such
a way that its point could be applied
to any part of patients body. The
patients were requested not to speak
the only sound In the room being
strains of soft music. When expectan
cy was at its food Mesmer would en-
ter clad in the robe of magician and
carrying an iron wand. At one patient
he would gaze intently, and another be
would stroke gently with his wand
Soon some would burst into laughter
others into tears, while still others
would fall into commissions, finally
passing into a lethargic state, out OF
which, it is claimed, they emerged
cured or on the highroad to a cure
Occasionally the treatment was given
outdoors, a tree being "magnetized'
and the patient collapsing in swoor

CLIMATIC INFLUENCES ON THE HUMAN SYSTEM

The October report Of the North
Dakota section of the Chronological
service of the weather bureau con-
tains the following article s5on the
Effect of Climate On the Races" by
Section Director O. w. Roberts:
Climate is the most potent of any
factor in the environment Of races.
1t is climate and soil, plus heredity
and form of government, that pro-
duces either vigorous or weak peo-
pies. In this respect it is a question
if the United States does not possess
a constant potential that, all other
conditions being equal, places it in a
class by itself. @&
Climate, soil and good heredity
may produce a race large of stature
and of great physical endurance, but
unless such people exist under a
liberal form of government, in which
public education is fostered and the
| arts and sciences taught, it is unable
to employ it's strength in those
lucrative vocations that alone give a
high per capita of wealth; and wealth
means power. 1t is also weak in de-
Tending itself, either in war or in
commerce, against people of less
numerical strength that is literally
educated, skilled, and humanely
governed. -sz:
If one reads of the overthrow of
political dynasties and the subversion
of trade and commerce, it will occur
to him that mortimer have usually
been conquerors. If. we consider the
invigorating effect of cold air and
marked changes of temperature alone
we might expect to find the strongest
and most resourceful peoples inside
of the Arctic Circle; and if we con-
slider fruitfulness of soil alone we
might reasonably expect to find the
dominant peoples in the Tropics.
But. the fact is that the greatest
human potentially occurs somewhere
between these two extremes. The
boundaries cannot be accurately de-
termined by the naming of certain
parallels of latitude, but close ap-
Proclamation is made to the truth in
the statement that the most vigorous
| people physically and the most re-
sourceful mentally will be found in
the most northerly regions that will
produce not simply cereal crops, but
an abundance of them.

is known in the United States, is

much Of the physical and the in

SECRETARY BONAPARTE ON
 CIVIL SERVICE REFORM
ADDRESSES LARGE GATHERfN,s INCLUDING NOTED MEN AT
 Wo0LSEK HALL.

Fresldent Hadley, of Yale, Pressdes at
 Meeting of National Civil Service Re-
 form League-Address by Dr. Daniel
 C. Gilman-ResOIutiOn to the Memory
 of the Late Carl schurz Read by Richard Watson Glider.
 The progress of civil service reform was again brought prominently before the country at large yeterday when the National Civil Service Reform league assembled in this city to hold its twenty-sixth annual convention. The reform league has branches in eighteen states, and in New York state two associations are working along the same lines. The gathering yesterday was notable one in that it brought together a body of distinguished men. many of whom are speakers of renown. The evening meeting yesterday of the league at W'oolsey hall was largely att tended by the delegates, guests and many prominent city people, who are interested in the furtherance of civil service reform. President Hadley of Yale presided and in a very happy vein of speech introduced the various speakers, who were Dr, Daniel O. en- man, president of the league; Hon. Charles J. Bonaparte, secretary of the United States navy.
 Resolutions in memory of Carl Schurz, president of the league from 1893 to 1900, were read by Richard Watt son Glider, and put before the meet ing, and at suggestion of President Hadley were adopted unanimously by a standing vote.
 Dr. Daniel c. Gilman, the president of the league, made very interesting address upon the history and work of the league during it's twenty-five years of existence. It was in 1881 that a. small body of men, among whom were George William Curtis, Carl schurz, Richard Henry Dana, and Charles J. Bonaparte met in Newport and formed an organization which has since grown greatly in power and influence. MT. Curtis was made it's first president, and very ably filled this office for many years. A later president was that not able patriot, Carl Schurz, who has late- ly passed away.
 Twenty five years ago there were but very few places in the government em- pl0y filled by competitive examination To-day a very large percentages are open to applicants only in this way. At one time the presumption was that a government employe was a person who was unable to secure any other kind of employment To-day they are selected from the best and most able of a long list of applicants. So effi,' olent has the federal service become that offer the individual states have left to 1t the doing of work that ordi- narily would be done by the local gov- ernment
 In conclusion Dr. Gilman said that ha wished publicly to commend the ladies' auxiliary for its excellent and efficient

 The November meeting of the Yale corporation was held yesterday. It was very largely attended. Hon. William H. Taft, secretary of war, who was elected to the corporation by the grad uates last June, came to New Haven especially for the meeting and was present throughout the session.
 A gift was announced of $50000 from an anonymous donor for the establish ment of professorship in medicine or in pathology in the Yale Medical school, this professorship to be named the John Slade Ely professorship, in memory of Dr. Ely, who died last spring.
 A most important advance was decid- ed upon in connection with the require- ments for admission to the Medical school of the university. These re- quirements, which will go into force in September, 1909, and which will place the Medical school on substantially the same footing as the Law school, are as follows:

 Board of Finance Wants Aldermen to Provide Counsel for Police Officers
 Alderman Loos Speaks Plainly on Pearl Street Extension.
 The postponed meeting of the board of aldermen was held last night in city hall Among the first business of the session was the presentation of a pe- ton asking that the city raise by a bond issue of $1Oo,OOO money for the erection of a contagious disease hospital in the f2th ward. This petition bore the names of Rev. tArtemas {. HaynesJRev. J. DeWolf Perry, Father John D. Coyle, the New Haven Medical association, the Homeopathic society, the New Ha- ven Business Mems association, and others This was followed by a peti- ton from the Women's Civic club, ask ing that an ineinerating plant be order ed oby the board. Both petitions were referred to a special committee consist- ing of Aldermen Hamilton, Woodford, Moran, Courtney and Marlowe.
 The matter relating to the payment by the city of the bills incurred by po- lice officers in defending themselves in suits was brought to the attention of the board by a special communication from Mayor Studley which read as follows;
 November 19, 1906. To the Honorable Board of Aldermen,
 City of New Haven, Conn:
 Gentlemen. There have recently been several suits brought against city off, cials who have requested that counsel fees be paid by the city. In some of these cases the corporation counsel has been of the opinion that the city did not have such an interest as would, under the charter, warrant the city in defending the suits. Three cases in- volying several hundred dollars have recently been before the board of f. nance and that board did not feel jus tified in paying the bills under the cir cumstances.
 I think the members of the board of finance feel that some steps should be taken to secure counsel on the part
