LIFE COMES TO us
in THE WEST WINDS.
EaStlWindS 6Tings Warmth
and Disease.

Washington, Jan. 20.-Prof. Willis
L. Moore, chief of the Weather Bureau,
in an interview said:
1T is well known to meteorologists
that easterly winds either hug closely
to the earth or have an upward COM
ponent OF motion. They, therefore
gather the humidity, dust, disease and
other bacteria, and as a rule they are
warm and humid. All of these condi-
lions make them foul winds, under
which animal life is enervated and rem
dered susceptible to the germs which
the winds themselves carry and dis
seminate.
The converse is true of the north
west winds. They come from above,
with downward component of motion
that bears q definite relation to the
velocity. They come from the region
where the air is dry, pure and highly
electrified and where ozone exists in
comparatively large quantities. The
cool, pure air of the northwest wind is
therefore an invigorating air 1t slim
ulates man and all other animal life.
1t brings physical energy and mental
buoyancy in its mighty breath.
81 have not the data before me, but
I am morally certain that if the NOR
tally statistics of the various hospitals
were studied it would be found that
more patients die under the influence
of the east than of the west winds.
LAS the greater number of the
storms of the northern hemisphere or
iginate on the American continent we
have a greater atmospheric activity
and the northwest winds a greater
force.
This may have a marked effect as
one Of the important environments
that have to do with the character of
the race that is now coming to be
known as American 1t has fertility
of thought and energy of body May it
not be that the climate has much to do
with the developing of the indomitable
spirit that is now reaching out for the
mastery of the earth?''

ENDS HIS LIFE
BY INHALING GAS
Body of John Reed, Native
of England, Found IN
ROOming House.

John Reed, SO years old, a native of
England but naturalized citizen of this
country, killed himself sometime Sat
urday night by inhaling gas, IN his
room at 207' West Overland street.
ROomers noticed an odor OF gas CON-
ing from the room Sunday night and
when an investigation was made it was
learned that Reed had committed SUI
eide by placing the end of a new rubber
tube in his mouth and inhaling the gas.
Reed secured his citizenship papers at
Galveston, Tex, in 1895, and had papers
showing his discharge from the United
States army in 1898. There were no
papers to Indicate that he had anv. rela-
tives in this country and nothing TO In
dicate the reason for his deed.
He had worked at The Elephant Butte
dam and had also been employed by the
FL Paso Gas company. He told Mrs Z;

Railroad Advantages.
Among what are called artificial OF
temporary advantages of railroads over
waterways are those that come from
power to acquire steamboat lines or to
agree for sitting water borne traffic,
refusal to pro rate with water lines and
better freight handling facilities.
Construction Of artificial canals adapt
ed to the passage of sea going ships,
according to the commission, would be
profitable only where they would con-
meet nayigable waters near each other
between which large traffic would nat
urally exist. but for rapids or compare

case of Sault Ste. Marie, Welland and
Lachine canals; or, where comparatively
short canals would have a very great
sailing distance, as in the cases of the
Suez, Panama and Kaiser Wilhelm ca
nails; or, where canals from the sea
would extend to large cities near the
coast where the large communities have
become great freight consumers as in
the case of the Manchester canal and the
Belgium system. The commission cites
many disadvantages of these canals but
makes no recommendations.
