EARTH A BIG COAL STOVE.
Effects of Our Burning Almost a 1911.
lion Tons Every Yenr.

In "A Treatise on Metamorphism,'
published in 1904. President C. H.. Van
Hise of the University of Wisconsin
wrote that the burning of coai by man
must steadily vitiate the air by the dis
charge Of carbon dioxihe and that In
consequence there must he a marked
increase In the temperature OF the globe.
Some have regarded the recent preva-
lence of hot ummer as a vindication
Of this prophecy. DIR. Van Hise. in the
volume mentioned, said:
In 1899 the amount of coal mined
and oxidized amounted to 7g3. 2s7, 4a
metric tons. AT the beginning of the last
decade of the 10Th century, 1870, the pro-
duction was only oil BIS, 3SS metric tons
This shows how rapid the increase in the
use Of coal has been and therefore a
combustion OF 1,oo0.OoO.0O0 metric tons a
year is probably very conservative as
the estimated average for the present
century.
Taking 1000, 10000 metric tons as the
amount of coal oXidized per annum for
the future. and s%upposing the amount
OF carbon in this coal to average so
per cent, the quantity OF carbon which
passes into the atmosphere would be
2.833, 33S, 900 metric toni per annum. This
is 0.l233 per cent. OF the total amount
Of carbon at present in the atmosphere.
If this rate of consumption Of coal were
continued S12 years the amount of car
bon In the atmosphere would be doubled.
ut therefore appears probable that
within n comparatively short time In
the future. as compared with a single
geological period. or even an epoch, the
amoun OF carbon In one of it's great
reservoirs, the atmosphere. will be in
creased to an important extent. From
this fact curious geological consequences
are likely to follow. One of the most
important OF these Is a higher average
temperature for the globe
According to Arrhenius, II the car
bon dioxide Is increased 2.5 to three
times Its present value the temperature

ROBBED BY FARM HAND.
BENJAMIN sutton Held Up On Dorset
street Thursday Afternoon.

In broad daylight Thursday after
noon. while on his way home from Bur
~lington. benjamin Sutton. who lives on
Dorset street. was held up and robbed
by q farm hand who had been In his
employ for two weeks. The hold-up &C.
CURED about five O'Clock on a lonely
strip of road about half n mile south
OF the Williston road on Dorset street.
Mr.. Sutton was returning with an empty
hay rack. having disposed Of a load of hay,
and had reached the strip of road which
Is u~ninhabitod for some distance and
which is shut in by Il dense second
growth OF timber when the hired man.
whose only known name IL Jim, sprarg
out of the woods and %grappled him
about the throat and demanded what
money Sutton had. This he obtained,
bou three dollars In change.
AS soon as ne procured the money
he left and was seen TO take the direc-
ton Of burlington by Frank Brown, who
arrived a few minutes later. Sutton APP
parcntly suffered no serious effects from
home.
Jim is not known in this section and
Sutton only knows him by his first
name. He Is about 90 years of age and
thick set. He Wore a dark suit last night
and by some is reported to have worn
n felt hat. similar to a sombrero. while
others say he wore a black hat.

A WILD WEST ACT
Italian Started 1t IN battery street
and Finished in jail.

More wild west appeared Saturday In
which moving picture show threats and
played n prominent part, but
the culprit was landed In jail without
any bloodshed. AS Rosie Mike was
sitting in front of her store at the corner
of Battery and Bank streets, Fred
Tagievi, an Italian who came to Winooski
n few days ago from Chazy. N. y,
walked up to her and began mussing up
and pulling her hair. He was a TRANCE
to her and she screamed In n manner
which brought her brother to her relief.
AS soon as Wady. the brother, arrived
Taeievi drew a loaded q caltore gun and
pointing 1t at him told him that If he
a step nearer he would shoot him.
He then came the swagger act Ind walked
across the street and up Battery with a
at his heels. The gun was still in
his hand and he halted the crowd at Il
house on lower Cherry street. then went
the stairs.
The police were meanwhile notified and
Officer MOngeOn was sent after him.
ragievi went over some fences and came
out on Champlain street. He went up
this street and when the police found him
he was in a store at the corner OF
Pine and Pearl streets. He didn't want
to go with the officer and made some
of resistance but went along with
out any serious trouble. He was in com
pany with Raria Vact1no and Vinzezo.
who were also taken along. 1t that time
Tagievi had gotten rid of his gun and
had also changed his clothes. He had
changed hats with Vactino.

warmer climate would he much more
0 oundant and widespread vegetation. and
more vegetation means that when oxi-
diced more carbon dioxide Will he rom
cen'rated In the soil, and this concen-
tration will lead to an acceleration In the
rate OF c~erbonation.
Furthermore, the increase in average
temperature Of the globo will accelerate
all other chemical reactions of the belt
or Weathcring. It therefore appears
probable that the artificial oxidation of
coal VIII result in some of the most
profound and Ear reaching geological
consequences which are due TO the
agency of man"
Since this was written the worlds an
nual consumption o. coal has about
doubled, says the Scientific American,
SO that $500 O.0 900 tons of carbonic OK
idc are now being annually discharged
into the atmosphere. In view OF this
fact there Is little wonder that Professor
Van Hise's DEMONSTRATIONS In regard
to the increased temperature should
have been 80 swiftly verified.

CUT 1T OUT.


he State OF Vermont paid out in
19l1-l2 over $50. 900 in hedgehog bounties.
This is a graft that has been worked 70
the limit and should be abolished at once
by the next Legislature. All progressive
legislators, whatever other adjective they
apply by way of classification should
unite on that. To apply TO some useful
purposes the money that is now foolishly
thrown ava on the hedgehog bounty
will help some. 1t would go a long way,
for example, In giving the publicity the
State needs. Quite a contrast with the
modest sum of 5000 set aside for advertis-
Ing purposes. 1t would improve a long
stretch of highway. 1t would be used
to great advantage by the directors Of
the State university in extension work
among the farmers. There are plenty
OF good ways to use It. 1t Is time to

The lake claimed another victim FRI
day morning, when an unknown stranger
was drowned in the slip south Of the
cove in the rear Of the Matted Cereal
company's plant. All efforts to ascertain
the identity of the man have thus far
proved %unavailing and resulted in the
finding Of only the vaguest clues. 1t is
evident that he Is a stranger in these
parts.
When first seen. the stranger came
water and stepped into a rowboat which
was tied ny to the wharf. Some men
employed in the yard of the Horatio
Hickok company noticed that he appeared
in a dazed condition and had just re-
marked II when he stepped unsteadily
out of the boat into 12 feet OF water.
With tho yard foreman. G. w. Grandy.
they ran to his assistance and had him
out of the water In n few minutes hut
by that time he was apparently dead
and all efforts to resuscitate him were
of no avail.

the Rev. y. +. Gillis and Health Officer
C. +. Dalton were notified and arrived
quickly. The body was searched but the
pockets of the neat but Inexpensive blue
suit revealed nothing which would
indicate either name or place of residence.
In one pocket of the coat was a copy
of the Free Press Of that morning and
II cents were found In the trousers, which
also contained an Ingersoll watch. This
was the total Of tho effects discovered.
The man was apparently of medium
complexion and of rugged build. He
wore n black slouch hat and khaki shirt
and was between % and 30 years of age.
The body was taken to the undertaking

burial.

that he was DESTROYS of reaching
