IF WATER NEVER FROzE.
There Would Be Several Startling


Changes In the World.
The whole economy of nature would
undergo startling change If water
never froze. The worlds climates
would be revolutionized The icebound
polar seas would cease to exercise
their chilling influences, and conse-
quently the currents of the ocean
might either cease or be turned aside
an different directions.
Thus the gulf stream would seek
other shores than those of Britain. and
the climate there might be subject to
the extremes Of heat and cold notice
able in other countries Of the same
latitude. The icebound rivers of the
north, notably those of Russia and
Siberia, would be open for navigation,
and Russia's activity as sea power
and a commercial nation might alter
the whole world Of commerce.
Canada would become another coun-
try altogether. An immense tract of
land would be available for cultivating
hardy plants, and Greenland might be
what it's name indicates. The absence
of icebergs off the coast of Newfound-
land and Iceland would result in a
much warmer climate in those islands,
where now the crops often fail.
Ice, too, plays an important part in
the economy of nature. Thus, if water
never froze, snow, hail and hoarfrost
would cease. The loosening Of soils
and the disintegration Of rocks by the
frost and many other now vital effects
would be lost-in short, the absence of
ice would be on the one hand an in
calculable disaster, on the other hand
q great boon.-London Globe

Don't Stoop When You Read.

The habit Of STOPPING over when
reading or writing has a bad effect OH
most eyes and should be avoided, es-
pecially if one is nearsighted. When
people approach the age Of forty the
morning paper is apt to appear blur
red, and they complain the printing is
getting bad. The trouble is they need
glasses. If they do not get them, later
on their eyes will deteriorate so rap
idly they will be obliged to wear them
all the time. On the other hand, if a
person puts on glasses when the first
warning Of "tired eyes" is received
he will never be obliged to wear them
the rest of his life except when doing
fine work.

A Homemade Weather Glass.

A very reliable weather glass can be
made out of such simple materials as
an empty salad oil bottle and a quart
fruit jar. Having procured these arti-
cles, pour sufficient water into the jar
so that it covers the mouth Of the bot
tie when the latter Is inserted into the
former In fine weather it will be
found that the water will rise into the
bottle, but will fall back into the jar
when wet weather Is due. Though the
idea of this quaint homemade barome-
ter is not new, it is quite reliable.

A LESSON AND A WARNING.

It is always encouraging when g. prominent official of the labor unions talks moderation and sound sense, for it shows that they are not all wild extremists. During recent strike trou- bles in Butte. Montana, a prominent organizer of the Federation of Labor addressed the labor unions of that city The labor unions of the West" he said, 'are intoxicated with power. Their encroachments would not be tol- erated one instant in the east From the honest and laudable endeavor to protect themselves, in too many in stances they have advanced to the extreme position of endeavoring to conduct the enterprises of their employers. Human nature will not submit to such dictation ana union labor. unless it retrenches, will cause exactly such an upheaval as caused the union labor movement itself"
 That was sensible talk. and of a kind that should be needed. Unionism is probably here to stay. and for just that reason the leaders of It should both counsel and practice moderation and observe due regard for the laws, for peace and good order. and especial ly for the rights of others. overbear- ing and intolerable demands. disturb ances of the peace, disregard for the law and interference with the rights of other citizens s not the way to make unionism popular or tolerable. Free American citizens do not like to be dictated to or driven, either by la bor unions or by any other organiza- tion.
 The natural and inevitable effect of intolerance is to beget a spicit of re- sistance and retaliation. This has just been pointedly shown in San Francisco. That city has suffered as much from the exactions and overbearing intoler- ance of unionism run mad as any sec tion of the country. Along with its other sufferinGs and misfortunes it has had to endure some of the most out rageous strike lawlessness that has dlsgraced the country.

THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 1907.
CREDIT IS DUE HIM.

The following somewhat mixed mo- tice of the late Senator Morgan ap- pears in The New Bedford Standard of Thursday last:
 John T. Morgan. Senator from Ala banaa, opposed the building of the Pan anna canal until he became almost bore and laughing stock. At this present moment, no one can tell wheth- CT history will or will not say that he was right in his attitude of opposi- tion to that scheme. But if history Is fair to him he will be credited with having been a great influence in bring ing this country to the acceptance of the canal Idea, because his advocacy of canal began years ago, when people were mostly indifferent, and continued with persistency and consistency un- til other men came in on a rising tide of public sentiment. and took something of the credit which belonged to him. Senator Morgan was of course man of the past. But his integrity and his patriotism and his high moral purpose made him a figure to be rev. erenced.
 Perhaps 1t is true that MT. Morgan was "a bore and a laughing stock" to certain Senators and Representatives
 
 lacked his sightedness, his breadth of vision, his broad statesmanship and his intense loyalty to the commercial interests of the country at large and the South especially. To speak of him as the father of an Isthmian Canal B not putting 1t too strongly. for he was nf at O ntnd n in seeing and pointing out both the desirability and necessity of water way across the Isthmus. It was one of the greatest ambitions of his pub lie career to see the work begun and carried to a successful termination.
 It is too early yet to declare posi- lively that the Senator was not thor oughly right in his contention for the Nicaragua plan. Obstacles to ultimate success at Panama continually loom up. multiply and grow apparently more insuperable as time advances, and he would be a bold optimist indeed who would predict that our government will finally triumph over all dificul- ties and complete a permanent passage from ocean to ocean. The success which we all hope for will not detract from the credit due to our late Senator. for he was really the pioneer in the in ception of the great work That he could not live to see the success of the undertaking adds to our regret over his death.
