MAN CHANGES CLIMATE.
Civilization Izas Distinct Eneot U.s.

Civilization I.as Distinct Eject U.s.
ON Winter Temperature
8. L. Bastin writes In the Monthly
Review on the effects Of civilization
upon climate. He mentions the re-
markabie variations of weather within
q few miles distance as an indication
that local causes may produce changes
In the wea Their. lie gees on to point
out:
"The presence Of large number Of
buildings in any situation will raise
the temperature Of the locality, while
the influence of the warmth arising
from large number Of fires must not
BY any means be overlooked. Expert.
ments conducted In London, Berlin and
Paris serve to show that the average
annual temperature in the cities is
or 8 degrees higher than in the sur
rounding country. At certain times Of
the year there Ia often a 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 a. q 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 DO
expected. It is actually taking place.
1T is 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 az
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 expert
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 a 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-
ton having been proved to reduce the
rainfall, the question arises how far
- IL
II altogether desirable. He concludes:
TO sum up the whole matter, 1t IL
impossible to deny that man and his
works do influence climate to a great
er or less extent; the spread of civili-
cation IN q new land has a real effect
on the annual tale Of weather. The
study Of the subject Is In its infancy"

PREsERvINo THE FORESTS.

Conserving Streams By Means 81 the
Forest Reserves.
The destruction Of our forests has
been going on at 20 great . rate a. to
alarm che public mind and prepare the
people to accept some remedy, says
Outing.
The interests Of irrigation and navi-
CATION have called attention to the
necessity Of preserving the sources Of
our water course by retaining or restor-
ing the forests from which they flow.
Fortunately many millions Of acres
Of wooded lands are still held BY the
national government, and about 81, OOO.-
600 acres Of these lands have been set
apart in eighty three permanent nation.
al forest reserves. The primary Dur.
pose Of these reservations Il to con.
serve the streams and provide means
Of irrigation and also, In some degree.
to influence the rainfall. They are we'll
scattered In the far west and are gen.
orally upon land which is Of little value
for agricultural uses.
They are reserved for the use Of man
and not reserved from his use. The
ripened trees will be cut as they may
be needed. There has been much local
opposition to many Of these reserva.
lions, but time and observation have
greatly changed the local sentiment.
The experimental stage has passed and
they can therefore be accepted as an
established fact, and the question nat.
urally arises as to what extent they
may be utilized for the preservation of
the remains Of our birds, fish and game
and be used as sources Of propagation
and supply. At least u portion Of these
lands should be so used. The writer of
this article has for many years endeav.
ored to secure legislation to this end.
Wyoming has shown her sympathy with
the movement by declaring a perma.
nently closed season in that part Of tho
forest reserve adjacent to the Yellow.

PROFIT IN RAISING GOATS.

Hilly and Rocky Ground Unsuitable
for Farming Might Ne Used.
At present there are only a few
places In the United States where mich
goats are raised, says the St Louis
Globe Democrat. The work Of breeding
and testing IL carried on by q few pro
gressive men and women who have
faith in the future industry. A num-
ber Of communities keep goats both for
the milk and the flesh Of the kids.
There are some goat farms In the east,
some in the middle west and some
In the west and southwest.
Not all sections are well adapted to
successful results with the animals, yet
there are large areas In nearly every
State Of the Unien where they can b
raised with profit. The area for their
profitable handling will probably be
enlarged when their habits and condi-
lions for health shall have become gem
orally known.
Goats in general, which i true Of
milch goats. thrive best ON hilly and
rocky land, but they may b success
fully raised on level land, which, how
ever. must not Be wet or swampy.
They do we'll in both cold and warm
climates, but the short-haired variety
suffer from the extreme cold II some
shelter u not provided. Otherwise
they are affected BY climate about the
Same q sheep are. except that very
young kids are slightly more tender
than young lambs.
= Mich goats. like all Coats, are great
foragers, subsisting on weeds and
brush a. well a. upon good grass pas
ture. For this reason they can b made
q source Of great profit to farmers
having rough land, unit for general
farming, and who care to raise them
for breeding purposes.
There are Thousands Of acres Of billy
and rough land unit for farming vege-
table crops In the United shtes At
present that could be put into practical
use BY fencing them for milch goats,
~ It II already done for Aneora goats
The females, however, when the milk
10 used for human consumption, must
b given wholesome food and kept from
brush and weeds As q cows milk Il
tainted by the COW eating weeds, 20 q
goats milk is tainted by eating gar
bags and brush leaves. When they
are fed fresh. clean food their milk IL
40 wholesome to the taste as cows
milk. Many prefer 1t to cows milk
because It has a sweeter taste.
The mink Of the goat IL not only rich
er than that Of the COW, but the guam
tity IL fully as large, II not larger,
compared with its size. A good aver.
age pure-bred milch goat gives about
two quarts of milk daily.

THE LUXURY OF WAR.

We all have our luxuries. Some of us have our steam yachts. some cur automobiles. some our books and some of us our bad habits: but luxuries we must have. cost what they will So. too. with the world It has it's luxury war.
 Of course all good Christians be- lieve that men ought not to fight, but so do We believe that men ought not tO spend money for things they can't afford. But there are always exten- uating circumstances, and it is always easier to run in debt for luxuries than for necessities
 In the days of the Roman Empire a standing army of 10000 men kept order in the country surrounding the Mediterranean. That. of course, was before We achieved our present high civilization. In these same countries today there are probably two million men under arms and as many more in Germany and Russia.
 But Rome was relatively poor.
 All of these men have been taken from industry at the age when they ought to be learning their trades. They have to be supported by the state and have to live off other people. But an army is luxury which civilization en- joys. All the world. and especially every woman. loves a uniform.
 Why, then. should Peace Conferences and Hague Conferences try to make us more economical? Have not our re- formers learned that as long as a man or a nations credit Is good he can af- ford all the iuxuries he can borrow money to pay for?
 One of these days we shall come to our economic senses if not ot our nor al senses. At that time We shall hear no more silly talk about the greatness of war and of the patriot who must kill somebody in order to be patriotic. The world will do without cannons to smash people tO pieces. rifles to bore holes in their bodies, and mines to blow up their transports. and will use the money that these luxuries cost for sensible purposes.
 But it takes nations, just as it takes plain folks. long time to grow sensi- bIe.-Editorial in The World Today, for May. /
