TEMPERATURE VARIATIONS.
Carbonic Acid Gas May Affect Heat
OF Sun, Says the Scientists.

One of the Government scientists
at Washington has recently COM
pleted series of investigation with
reference to the causes of secular
variations in the temperature at the
earth's surface.
He thinks that they are more
probably due to changes in the
amount of earaonic acid in the at
mosphere than To variations in the
heat of the sun. II the amount of
carbonic acid that the air now con-
tains were diminished little more
than one-half, the mean temperature
all over the earth would drop about
8 degrees, which would be sufficient
to bring on another glacial period.
On the other hand. an increase Of
carbonic to between TWO and three
times its present amount would
raise the mean temperature 10 de-
grees. and renew the hot times of the
Eoccne period.

The posadas C'posada meaning
dwelling place or inn) commemorate
the Journey of Joseph and Mary from
Nazareth to Bethlehem, whittier they
went in obedience to the Roman en-
peror's mandate, to be enrolled in the
census. This journey, made by Mary
on a donkey led by Joseph, is sup
posed to have occupied nine days.
Wherefore the posadas last also Tor
nine days. Each evening as the
shades of night descended, the hGmblo
pair naturally begged shelter, which.
in many cases, was at first rei>-,ed.
1t is this nightly episode that IS com
memorated in Mexican homes by the
posadas, or begging shelter"
Very nearly every Mexican family,
of whatever rank. gives series OF
"posadas' on varying scales of gran
deur, and to these functions numerous
guests are invited Each guest is eX-
pected to be present al the entire
series of nine 'posedas' and # Is
considered extremely discourjeous to

them. In the conservative and old
fashioned families. only dear friends
and relatives are allowed to share
the posada season, but The more cos
mopolitan Mexicans are broader mind
ed, and frequently invite foreh. aers
to join their Christmas parties.

Golf balls are now being stuffed

the game the golf ball was stuffed

of golf, generally played by young
people, and called in London

Many People Want Light chilnren
When Adopting Little Ones.

Strange as II may seem. said q
prominent phianthropist in the New
York Tribune, not few children OF
the thousands who must be classed
| as street waits receive a valuable i'm
| hertance OF blue eyes aud light hair,
which, without too great stretch OF
the imagination. may i1e called
golden, While / do not pretend To
understand the psychology of the
question, facts will nevertheless bear
this ont.
OF the great number OF requests re-
ceiyed by the charitable Institutions
of this city for children for adoption
the majority of those who specify ask
for the blue-eyed, goden-haired type.
So, you see, the Inheritance OF such
colcring is a sort Of open sesame"
to good home. This curious predi-
lection was much more marked 10 or
- years ago than now, but II sim
crops up occasionally and Is certainly
an interesting trait.
The figures and letters obainable
at charitable institutions contain in
formation corroborative Of this state
ment For instance. iii the records OF
the New York Juvenile Asylum, an
institution which for the last 80 years
has given real home and useful
training to some 10000 children who
would otherwise have grown up in the
Sums and has placed 6000 OF them
in outside homes, mostly in the West,
there Is multitude of letters asking
for children to be adopted Some Of
them show this curious blue and yell
low choice.
Can you send a child out here for
adoption? says one letter from West
ern state which every year receives
many children from the institution
If so, have YOU little girl with blue
eyes and curly golden hair?"
We should be glad to give a good
home to little boy, says another We
prefer one with light hair and blue
eyes
Of course a brunette complexion is
no handicap to the child for which
the Juvenile asylum is striving to get
a square deal But those who wish
to adopt light haired children gener-
ally specify on this particular, since
on other points the Judgment OF the |
asylum authorities is regarded as suf
ticient
One man who has long watched The |
work OF this and othef institutions OF |
a similar kind insists that the psy-
chology Of selection Is staple, Ac-
oording to his theory the West, where |
. real chance is found for many of the t
children, has population made mp In |
large part Of settlers from Northern |
European countries, Wle.a blue eyes |

Mother Hen after her brood of nine
had obtained firm hold on life called
them together to counsel them ON the
duty they owed to one another, but
particularly on the duty the eight girls
owed to the one boy of her family. The
girls were to be mindful Of WTIlie's
rights, to cali him when q choice NOR
sci was unearthed, to prevent him
from quarreling and to bring him back
when he wandered from the barnyard.
One day during a sisteriy quarrel
brother disappeared. His sisters had
seen the minister enter the farmhouse
on q visit but thought nothing Of it
until they saw poor Willie meet his
death by an ak.
CONSERVATION ensued, and a council
was held to devise a way to meet the
mother hen and to break the news TO
her.
"Cluck. chuck, cluckety, chuck, chuck"
said Mother Hen, breaking In on the
council Of the sisters.
"Cluckety, cluckety, cluck," answer
ed the sisters In one voice, which trans
lated means, Where is your brother7r
and they answered, ''The minister Wis
TIED the house, and brother got It In

Mother Hen was downcast, but she
quickly recovered her composure and
said
