CITIES AND CLINATE

The theory that the calorifc and
other emanations Of large cities perces-
tiblv affect the climate in and about
them is put forward. II Is not new. but
il is interesting and it appears TO he
plausibe In fact ii Is practically es-
tablished 10 a certain degree. Nobody
imagines that if the site of London were
an uninhabited plain II would he sub
iect TO anything like the kind of fog
which now frequently prevails there,
and the condition of the atmosphere over
such cities as Pittsburg and Chicago Is
obviously due TO local and artificial
causes
Material effect upon the weather is
however. something more. II means
changes of average temperature and of
precipitation and that these have oc-
Cured and are due 10 the city itself are
not so easily demonstrated. 1t is gen
orally accepted that the climate of New
York has grown milder in The last gen

might be rash 10 say that il is because
of the influence Of the great city, for
precisely the same change has been OBJ

New York as not 10 be within its con
ceiyable sphere Of influence" Precisely
the same may be said of drouths,
which do prevail in New York. Int

Upon il are consumed daily scores Of
thousands of tons Of coal. and large

Ii will he interesting 70 see how the

W. Bailey resigned in wrath on March

colleagues voted on that day 10 approve
the Arizona constitution as II stands. In
order 10 appesse him a number of these
hacksliders announced that they had not
intended 10 indorse the principle of iu-
dicial recall. and he thereupon with

The Nelson amendment will test. the
good faith Of the Democratic opponents
OF the judicial recall 1t provides that
the people of Arizona must strike that
obnoxious provision out If their c0nsti-
tuition. Ia the House Of Representatives
many Democrats talked yirtuouely
against the recall. but voted 10 allow
the people of Arizona 10 retain that pro
vision in their constitution If they

4 NEGLECTED CAREER.

The usual shortage of candidates for
tadetships is reported from West Point
There are now one hundred vacancies in
the class entering next year for which
no applicants have presented themselves
ana the War Department is urging all
senators and Representatives entitled 10
appoint 10 see 10 ii that opportunities

20 begging The shortage of one hundred
is a little below the annual average
The cadet corps ut West Point has been
for some years past about - per cent
below its authorized strength. In 1905
90 ia expected candidates failed to
appear and in 1909-10 ZIG. The corps
las been enlarged since then. and a de-
felt of only one hundred shows little
progress made in attracting asprants
TO a military career.
II is not a little puzzling that at a
time when all the other professions.
except possibly the ministry. are over
crowded there should be practically no
competition whatever for commissions
in the army. Cadets AT West Point not
only pay nothing for n first class cd lca-
ton. but actually receive liberal COM
rensation from the government from
the day they put on its uniform. Law
yers. physicians. engineers and even
divinity students have TO expend a con-
siderable capital preparing themselves 10
earn n living and often wait ten 10 fifteen
years before they get any material re
turn on their investment The soldier
receives house rent. medical attention
and allowances Of various sorts. besides
his salary: his life is insured free if he
dies in the line of duty. and a pension
is guaranteed him if he is disabled or
retired for age. Yet all these special
concessions fail TO make military
cai Ger attractive 10 the youth Of to-day
Formerly the army was career eager
~ sought in spite Of the excessive hard
ships of the frontier life which fell TO
its lot i'm an unsettled country. Now
that these hardships have been largely
and living conditions have
become vastly more comfortable the
desire 10 serve has grown feeJler in
stead Of stronger. Is il possible that
the average American youth has come
10 regard a military career as no longer
desirable?
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1911-08-07

The announcement Of the practical
completion of BerIins gigantic system Of
sanitary sewerage and drainage calls at
tention to probably the most noteworthy
undertaking of the kind in the world,
which may well serve as an inspiring
example TO many other communities.
The work has taken nearly forty years
and has cost more than S1.000,O00 a
wear. Meantime the city has grown from
little more than a provincial town
of $4,000 inha hitants 10 a truly i'm
ptrial metropolis of 2.l63000; a growth
which would scarcely have been posi-
HE without the achievement Of the work
in question. Indeed, it is one Of the
direct consequences of German impe-
rialsm. When the empire was created
anG Berlin was made its capital that
city felt that il must show itself
worthy Of its high estate. and therefore
il set itself about its sanitation
Mere figures concerning the hundreds
or miles of pipes which convey the sew
age and drainage of the city might not
he edifying. What is more 10 the pllf-
pose is the manner in which those pipes
are arranged There are, We believe,
three sets. One carries the sewage. an
other the rain water, and third, much
the smallest in extent. the special
waste from industrial establishments.
The rain water is carried directly into
the river. at a distance below the city.
The factory waste is taken TO special
places for its disposition. The sewage,
which is Of most Importance, is con
veyed not to hut away from the river
10 the great sewage farms which nave
been created in the suburbs. These eX-
tensiye plantations are Immensely pro
ductive and are sources of great pront
supplying the markets Of the city with
vegeta bles and fruit. They are not OF
fensive. but really attractive and agree
able places. and are so salubrious that
there have been established upon them
numerous sanatoriums in which delicate
persons grow strong and the sickly gain
health.
Now. ii is hardly fair to compare Ber-
lin with New York, for the German me-
tropolis is not, like this city, situated
upon a majestic tidal estuary into which
il is possible 10 discharge vast flood oil
waste without offence. It would he
quite impossible 10 dispose Of the sew
age of Berlin by pouring ii into the
Spree. But at least the Berlin example
is pertinent to many Of our large in
land cities and il may he worth while
fo.. even New York TO observe il ana
bear it In mind against the not I'M
probable day when the vastness OF this
city shall exceed the capacity or the
v aters about it TO dispose of its sewage,
or when thrift shall revolt against the
continuance Of such stupendous waste
funess and therefore some other
method Of disposal shall he sought.
What city of two millions can do
city Of five millions could surely do and
what one city does through necessity
another may find II desirable 10 do as
matter OF discretion.
