his wife has listened to him,
and there is trouble of various kinds

he pays expenses and fills out the

However New Thought doesn't do
a great deal toward changing the

But there is another reason strong

by proper handling Of the land to

superabundance Of soil moisture that

THE coNsERyATIoN1sT's REASON

George S. Bliss, an observer in the
United States weather. bureau, has
been figuring on the changing tenn
perature Of the earth and reaches
some interesting, even if scientific
conclusions. Incidentally the reason
why certain of the conservationists
are. so much interested in saving the
resources Of the earth might be de-
duced from his statements.
Basing his conclusions upon the
comparative temperature Of two years
as far apart as scientific reports per-
nit he finds that for the next 1854
years the earth climate will continue
to grow warmer. the apex being
reached in 2295 A. D. There will
be a r%etrocession for a like period of
3S4 years, SO that what might be
scientifically termed the earth's sum-
mer will last for 76s years. and then
will come a winter so long and so
severe that all the stored resources
of the earth will be required to pre-
serve life upon the planet.
Mr.. Bliss declares the cause Of this
change is the constant though al
most imperceptible change in the po-
sition of the earth's axis. He says
that 1886 years ago the plane Of the
axis to the earth's orbit was
thirty-ive degrees. and that in
the intervening period it has
changed to twenty-three and a
half degrees. When the position was
at thirty-five, the polar regions cover
ed a space thirty-five degrees south
Of the pole and the glacial age. dur
ing which the North Dakota boulders
were planed and the present soil was
pulverized and mixed for the use of
the farmers Of today. had full sway.
In another fifteen thousand years, the
earth's axis having changed back to
the thirty-hve degree position. the
earth will again be in the midwinter
Of the cycle. It is against this that
the resources. especially those which
produce heat, should be conserved.
While he does not reason so far,
the scientist who 10 prying into the
future, might have gone further and
found that the real summer of the
earth must have been when the 81
gantic animals whose bulks were SO
large that the elephants Of this age
would be pigmies IN comparison, liv-
ed and fattened in what are now the
ice encrusted regions Of Siberia and
Alaska; and when the genial climate
produced the stupendous vegetation
whose fallen trunks and branches
have become the Ignite deposits OF
North Dakota and western Canada
and the coal deposits at Controller
bay and other places in Alaska.

A RETARDED vINDICATION.

1t recalls 4 pivotal point in the his
tory of our overseas expansion to
find in the Washington Posts coll
umn of interviews, a statement Of the
present life Of Emilio Aguinaldo. the
leader of the Philippine fight for in
dependence, from an American officer
of the Philippine constabulary. This
officer tells Of the Philippine leaders
quiet and Industrious life on his
plantation in Cavite province. Of his
strict adhesion to his oath Of alleg-
lance, his refusal to enter politics and
Of the fact that he is admired and
esteemed by the American oflcials-
including the governor general-with
whom he comes in contact.
The appearance Of this apprecia-
ton Of CAguinaldo in the Washington
Post is the more striking because in
that paper was begun the food of
virulent and unprovoked attacks on
tho leader which inspired the move
ment to prepare the public mind in
this country for holding the islands.
Aguinaldo with his native forces was
still helping the United States in
maintaining the siege of Manila when

him as a cross between an ape and

WHITE BLOOD CELLS

But Hope Of Science That leucocytes

vanishes.

LONDON, Jan. 31.-Experiments on
the white corpuscles OF the blood by
Prof Zinsser and Prof. Hiss have
caused one dream OF medical science
To vanish. They have found that the
bacterial substances contained in the
white corpuscles. the leucocytes, and
extracted therefrom have no activity
as applied TO the body at large and
therefore have no relation to the pro-
duction Of immunity. Their action,
so the experiments indicate, is con-
fined merely to the destruction OF the
had germs they have already swal-
lowed during the period when the
leucocyte was phagocyte.
This means that science must fall
back on the serums for the proven
ton and cure OF bacterial diseases.
Z:nsser and Hiss have found, though,
that extracts from the white blood
cells of healthy rabbits Will destroy
typhoid germs. The leucocytes seem
TO recognize unerringly their natural
enemy, the typhoid bacillus, for they
