MAY EXTEND
JEFFERSON

Another move looking to the
extension of Jefferson avenue TO
Center street and the construct
ing of low grade street from Pa
cific avenue to the high level by
this route was made in the city
council last night when the coun-
Gil ordered land condemned at
the lower end of Yakima avenue
to straighten the street and cut
down the grade.
There will be cut of 10 or IL
feet at the lower end of Yakima
avenue which will then connect
up with the Jefferson-Center street
thoroughfare and will cause a
practical regrade of a couple OF
city blocks in that section. When
completed the property will be
worth twice what it Is now.

TRIALS NULLIFIED
BY EVERETT
FIRE

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
EVERETT, Aug. 5.-Many i'm
portant trials have been practical
ly nullified through the destruc-
ton of the stenographic notes of
20. G. Castor, court stenographe-,
in the first that destroyed the
court house Monday evening.
When the fireproof vaults were
opened yesterday 1t was found
that practically all of the records
except those of CASTOR were in
tact.
These notes cover the period
from June, 1908,. to the present
time, and, as they had not been
transcribed, there is no other rec
ord of the trials during that time.
Many of the cases were of great
Importance and have been ap-
pealed to the supreme court.

LONDON. Aug. 5.-As surely as
beans is beans, Sept. 10 is going
to be unlucky for either Jem Dffs-
coll or Owen Moran. Also Il Is
sure to be the date Of the great
est battle of the year, from q sci
entific standpoint, when these
little men clash for the fentkef-
weight championship of Great
Britain.
Following; as 1t does upon the
heels OF the Welsh-Josephs battle
for the lightweight championship,
the fight has stirred English
sportsmen as they have not been
since the days when Charley Nit
|chell was in his prime.
The fact that both boys have
met Abe Attel, the featherweight
champion of the world, and that
Driscoll outpointed him in 10
rounds and Moran secured two
draws in 20 and 2s rounds, would
indicate they are beautifully

SEEKS HOME FOR
AGED MAN

Humane Officer Van voris IS
seeking home for a man 81
years old who. is able to do light
chores about the house or take
care of chickens or stock.
Mr.. Van Voris says his office
Is swamped with complaints and
that there should be a clerk adj
ded to the force. He believes
that a young man who could take
pictures for the police department
might be secured and in that way
the expense of an office assistant
would not be burdensome on the
taxpayers. 1t is said to be cost
ing the police department on am
average of $35 a month now to
keep up the rogues' gallery.

goes the whole distance.
Each of these men can do five

He says he will beat them, how

DECIDE TO PAVE
PUyALLUP
AVENUE

Over the protests of the Stone
Webster interests the city council
last night voted to go ahead ana
pave Puyallup avenue from the
end of the present pavement to
the end of the street and then on
out Bay street. This will cause a
cut of the street of several feet
at the other end and 1t will neces-
state the Interurban electric line

its bridge across the river.

4 COLOSSAL RAIN G4EGE.

More than one explorer who has come
back from Central Asia has reported
that the region seemed to be drying up
and was less habitable than ii had pre-
yiously been. That the last word on
the subject has not been, spoken seems
probable from an investigation made
by we'll known Russian meteorologist,
DR.. Woeikoff. The result of his study
has just been published by Nature" Il
London scientific weekly. He has ex-
amined a series of reports regarding the
level of the Sea Of Aral huge sink
in Western Asia into which drain sew
eral streams flowing from the eastward
The first authentic information about
that sheet of water dates from sur
vey by Admiral Butakoff, ''back in the
4O's," sixty or seventy years ago. From
that time until 1880 there was a
continuous, If not regular, fall. For
an interval of nineteen years there Is no
satisfactory record, but in 1899 a de-
cided rise was i'll progress Islands and
peninsulas charted by Butakoff had
then disappeared, having evidently been
submerged and as recently as 1908 the
level was growing higher and the area
covered by the sea greater. In other
words. for at least forty years eyapora-
ton more than offset the supply from
rainfall and drainage. For at least ten
years. and probably longer, the gain
has more than compensated the loss.
DR.. WoeillOff's revelation is interesting
not merely for the light it throws ,n
conditions in Central Asia, but also for
the lesson it affords to persons who
fancy that the climate in various parts
of the world has undergone a permanent
change. For instance, it has been popu-
larry supposed that In certain sections
OF the United States the rainfall has

been diminished by the cutting away OF
forests. The highest meteorological au-
thorities In this country pronounce that
belief erroneous. They declare that the
spongy soil on q fOrested slope pre-
vents the rain from running down into
the streams as rapidly as 1t otherwise
would, but deny that trees have any
influence on precipitation. In support
of their surmises those who hold the
contrary theory are occasionally able to
cite official figures indicating that less
rain Is now observed than at some pre-
vious stage OF history. 1t seems prob
able. however, that their records cover
too short n period, and that If their
observations are continued long enough
they will discover that any scarcity OF
precipitation is a temporary phenom-
enOn only.
The same logic applies likewise to
the supposition that the country does
not experience such severe cold as, 1t
once did. For twenty, thirty and even
forty years the opinion may seem sound,
but an eventual reaction may surely be
expected. There is no reason to be
lleve that the output Of solar heat has
varied for centuries. but its influence is
strangely and even persistently modified
by eccentricities in the distribution Of
the air which controls the direction Of
the winds and which exerts modifying
influence on temperature. Yet in time
balancing of the account may reason
ably be looked for. Nature believes In
square deal.

FOR 4 MAP or THE WORLD.

FOR A MAP or THE WOhLD
II NAV be little surprising to many
persons to be told that there is not In
existence and has never yet been made
n uniform map of the world, at least not
one on any considerable scale. Small
maps there are, no doubt; indeed, they
are to be found in most aliases. And
there are admirable large scale maps Of
many parts of the earth, our own ma
tional and state surveys producing some
which are worthy to rank with any
others. But not all of the world has
been thus charted, and there is no uni
fOrmity of scale or method among the
maps produced by the various countries.
The French government has perhaps
done more and, on the whole, better map
making than any other. but while it is
making its map of Asia on the scale OF
/ Il 100000 it is making or has made Its
map of Africa on only half that scale.
British maps vary among three or four
different scales. and so do our own.
Now the task has at last been under
taken of producing through international
cooperation an entirely uniform map
OF the whole surface of the globe. a rep
resentative of our government having re-
Gently participated in a scientific con-
gress to that end in London. The scale
which has been adopted is that Of

inch That is the scale on which proba-
bly, the ajority of existing government
maps are drawn, and it seems to be ac

large for some regions and decidedly too
small for others. but il probably offers
as good an average as any could. 1t has
the advantage. too, of being perfectly
simple and of being decimal scale.
or course. uniformity in other respects
than scale is also imperative. 1t must
be observed in the method of indicating
all natural features. attitudes. contour.
etc. and alsO the artificial features. such
as towns and cities. boundaries. rail
roads and telegraph lines. 1t will also
be required in the styles of lettering.
and-perhaps most difficult of all to
manage-in the spelling of names. 1t
has been determined. we believe, that
Latin letters shall be used in all cases
and that the form of name used shall be
that which IS authoritatively employed
by the country in which the place is
found. special rules being adopted for
the transliteratiOn of names from nom
Latin texts to Latin 1t is not imprOba-
bic that this practice will have an i'm
pOrtant effect upon popular usage in
names Doubtless Vienna, for example,
will figure upon the map as Wien. Flor
cnce as FircnZe, LeghOrn as LivOrnO
Munich as Miinchen. and so on. There
would he Il gain for euphOny if some Of
these changes secured universal popular
acceptance. but in other cases there
would be a loss. and in most of them
there would be confusion. Despite the
difficulties and embarraSsments which
may be caused by this and other features
of the work however, we may expect it
to be carried to successful conclusion
and 10 prove of great value TO the world :
not the least part of that value arising
from its promotion of the realization Of
kinship among all nations.
