MAN CHANGES CLIMATE.
Civilization Has Distinct Effect Up-
 on Winter Temperature.

CiviIiration Has Distinct Effect Up- Winter Temperature. S. L. Bastin writes in the Monthly Review on the effects of civilization upon climate. He mentions the re- markable variations of weather within a few miles distance as an indication that local causes may produce changes In the weather He goes on to point out:
 "The presence of large number Of buildings in any situation will raise the temperature of the locality, while from a large number of fires must not | by any means be overlooked. Experi- ments conducted in London, Berlin and Paris serve to show that the average annual temperature In the cities is 2 or degrees higher than In the sur rounding country. At certain times of 1 the year there is often greater differ ence still, and 1t Is noticeable that in cities sudden changes are not felt to the same extent that they are in the open country"
 Taking England as whole, there has been during the last two centuries an immense reduction in the amount of marsh land. Damp soil being always colder than dry. some change may be expected It Is actually taking place. "It Is a proved fact that the tempera- ture in this country Is appreciably higher than 1t was some centuries ago. Some old people, who might be sup posed to be more sensitive to cold as they grow older, continually affirm that winters are not so severe as they used to be. The old-fashioned winter often began in December, or even No- vember, but now 1t is very rarely that any prolonged spell of cold Is experi- enced until the new year" The writer speculates whether the draining of the boglands of the tundras In Siberia would not alter the climate of that | desolate region.
 It has been definitely established, he | says, that the presence of large num- bers of trees in tropical regions tends to reduce the temperature. Belts of forest lands will also protect country from wet and strong winds. The rain fall Is said to be largely dependent on the presence of trees. Cutting down | virgin forest In America has resulted in long spells of drought Deforesta- tion having been proved to reduce the rainfall, the question arises how far
 n this rainy land of ours forestation is altogether desirable He concludes: ::
 ''To sum up the whole matter. 1t Is impossible to deny that man and his works do Influence climate to a great CT or less extent; the spread of clvill- zation In a new land has a real effect on the annual tale of weather. The study of the subject Is In It's infancy"

RECORDS OF ENLISTED MEN.
Identification by Finger Prints Is
 Now Required.

Identification by Finger Prints Is
 Now Required.
 On Sept. l the system of personal Identification prescribed on April by the war department was placed in operation and record Is to be made of every man who may hereafter enlist or re-enlist in that service, says the New York Tribune. Circular A. en- joins commanding officers to take such steps as may be necessary to insure prompt and complete compliance with the requirements of the order, and in- specting officers are charged to make special inquiry and report as to wheth- CT these requirements have been met. On Sept l the outline figure cards pre- viously in use were discontinued, and hereafter the complete Identification record, consisting of finger prints, per sonal description of the soldier, photo graphic negative and one print of the negative, will be forwarded to the mill tary secretary of the army.
 One of the most important features of this Identification record Is the im- pression of the fingers, as It is held that the finger prints of no two men are Identical. It Is absolutely neces- sary, therefore, that the finger prints should be clear and the ridges distinct ly outlined. There are two kinds of impressions, plain" and rolled" The former Is secured by pressing the bulb of the finger on the linked plate, with the plane of the nail parallel to the plane of the plate, and then on the pa- per in the same manner. rolled i'm pression Is obtained by pressing the side of the finger on the plate and then rolling the finger from one side to the other. After the impression of each finger separately has been taken a plain impression of all the fingers of the right hand Is taken at one time. The outline on the opposite side of the prescribed form Is then filed up and the personal description completed by noting on the outline figure the princi- pal Identification marks. Upon comple- ton of this routine the soldier Is re- Quired to sign his name In the place provided for signature of soldier" and after being photographed it Is as- stunned that the means for his identifi- cation are as complete as 1t Is possible for human Ingenuity to make them.

Damascus, whose pedigree Is the longest of living cities, Is losing its character. An enterprising Belgian com pany Is cutting through It with au electric tramway and Is sprinkling cleo tric lights in Its ancient streets. What Is more, the motive power for these installations Is derived from the har- messing of the river falls twenty-two miles of, so that no feature of the modern invasion is spared the place whence the Jew of Tarsus escaped "a a basket over the wall The British acting consul reports that three and q half miles of the tram line are already being laid.

DOG MEAT IS NOT so BAD.
First Choice of the Eskimo and O
 Many Indian Tribes.

Last year over 1,5OO dogs were slaughtered for food in Prussia. Prob ably one could eat dog from choice any more than one could be a cannibal from choice. But many Indian tribes have eaten dog for generations. The Eskimos eat dogs when they can catch them. Arctic explorers from all countries, looking for the pole, have eaten dog without compunction and on several occasions have eaten their comrades of human kind. Dog meat Is sweet, like mule meat, and the best part of 1t Is not next to the bone, as Is the case with other meats, but that lying next to the skin, which must be baked to a crisp.
 That able general, Chief Joseph. of the Neg Perces, prefers dog to all oth- CT meats. His second choice always was grizzly and his third Rocky noun. tain sheep. When Wattiskowkow of the Umatillas heard of the drowning of enormous quantities of dogs i'm pounded in New York he wept- When the Umatillas have great feast dog Is the piece de resistance. The brown ed skin, with the hair on 1t, Is served to the Inconsistencies, or chief guests, and If you happen to be one of the muck-a-mucks you must gnaw this bit of skin as you would a rib of hepf in camD Many palefaceS have done It and come from the feast liking dog.
