Root today received a cablegram from
Minister Rockhill at Pckin notifying
him of the appointment of WI Ting
Fang as minister to Washington.
Mr.. Root evidently intends to allow
the President and Assistant Secretary

unOfticially some representations have
been made at the state department
within the last "a hours. impeaching
the character Of the proposed new min
iSter not only on the ground of his
conduct while formerly in Washington
but because it is stated Mr.. WI took
advantage of an abnormal state of af-
fairs in Pekin to secure his re-appoint-
ment to this post.
Sir Chentung LANG Cheng, the re-
firing minister to Washington, upon
returning to China went first to visit
his relatives in Canton instead Of to
the Chinese capital. 1t is asserted that
had he been in Pekin he would have
used his influence against Wu's APP
pointment. having always expressed
himself as opposed to his methods

COOLEST OVER EQUATOR
And Hottest Over Poles in Upper Air,
Scientist Says.

Dresden. Saxony. Sept. pat the
meeting today OF the Congress of Ger
man Scientists a remarkable statement
was made by Porf. Iergesell of Strdss-
burg University. that atmosphere az
high attitudes is the coolest over the
equator and the warmest above the
Poles. This surprising result. he eN-
plained, was determined by balloon as
cents. made during the month OF July
in various ATTITUDES under the auspices
Of the international committee which
has been investigating the atmosphere
at high attitudes. The observations
were taken with automatic lnSfru-
mentS attached to unnamed balloons,
balloons which reached attitudes OF IL
to 1919 miles in the tropics were found
IL have registered about AS degrees be-
low zero, Fahrenheit. while in the lat
itudc of central Europe the tompera-
tura WAS only &c to Sc below zero at
the heights indicated. Another fact cs-
tabliShed is that the greatest cold OF
tho upper atmosphere is reached az
heights from six to six and three-quar-
ter miles, varying somewhat in differ
tnt parts of the world. Above that
height, contrary to the assumption OF
scientists hitherto. the air actually
grows warmer. This warmer strata of
air is 1cduced to be highest at the
EQUATOR and lowest ut the poles. where
it is estimated to begin at about four

Prof. HerSesell concludes that the at
