Plays IN Important Part In Some Cam
paiQno oS Note.

At . recent meeting Of the Royal
Meteorological society Of England the
president. Richard Bentley. in IN ad-
dress showed how upon upward Of 800
occasions the course Of history Was
greatly Influenced by weather condi-
tioas. Often invasions we're frustrated
or greatly impeded ftom the time Of
the destruction Of Mardonius' Aeet 0R
Mount Athos to the attempted French
invasion Of Ireland.
Fogs also played an important part
in history. Lord Anson In . single
ship loaded with Spanish treasure
slipped unperceived through the en-
tire French Aeet, and the great duke
Of SCARBOROUGH contrived to get his
army across the Scheldt in the teeth
oe the enemy in . river mist. Refer
ence was made to the dfmculties over

The revival in the middle west can

The proportion Of converts to popula-

In consequence of numerous complaints re-
ceived by the Tenement House Department
during the winter of 1905 and 1905 concerning
the freezing OF fixtures In yard closets the
Commissioner ordered a complete canvass OF
yard closets during a period cold enough to
test them and found so large n proportion to
be frozen that the department has since re-
fused to accept unheated yard closet COM
partments. Recently proceedings were be-
gun against the department for the purpose
OF enforcing the acceptance of certain patent
appliances claimed to be anti-freezing closets.
The experience OF the department and the
testimony OF numerous experts In plumbing
having shown oonclusively the futility or
trying TO maintain any system of plumbing
in yards free from the effect Of freezing
weather. without the aid Of heating appliances,
the department opposed the action referred TO,
and the decision OF Justice Burr OF the SUI
preme Court. Second, Department. just
handed down. In "A follows:
The petitioner asks the Court to determine

About 40 per cont. Of all the property re-
ported sold last week in Manhattan and The
Bronx by'brokers n a~uctiOneers together

In view of the absence Of any degree OF

no liquidation as a result of foreclosures Of
mortgages by moneyed institutions. All

Asa regards the earning power Of real
