IF WATER NEVER FROZE.

Changes In the World.

Changes In the World.
The whole economy of nature would
undergo a startling change II water

would be revoutionized. The icebound
polar seas would cease to exercise
their chilling influences, and conse-
auently the currents of the ocean
might either cease or be turned aside
in 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

latitude. The icehound rivers of the
north, notably those of Russia and
Siberia, would be open for igation,
and Russians activity as sea power

ers of this state. The Oregonian
thinks, however, he has overlooked
some important details. While the
American crop may not be as small
as he puts 1t, 1t is considerably less
than that of last year. On the other
hand the output of Continental Eur
ope, even including Belgium, is ac-
knowledged to be far in excess OF
that of 1905. But what Is hurting
the market and making very high
prices unlikely is the big surplus OF
the 1906 crop that was carried over
into this season, and is yet to be
disposed Of. The New York expert
seems to have forgotten about the
surplus, Still, the market is strong
at the moment, as the shorts have
numerous sales to cover, and prices
may advance several cents over the
current quotation of 10 cents.
