Climate and the Color Of Cities.

1t Is estimated by meteorologists that
the heat irradiated constantly In the
atmosphere by the combustion Of car
bon modifies little by little the climate
Of cities and surrounding districts. 1t
Is said that 100000 tons of carbon
is the average yearly weight burned in
cities the size Of London and New
York. 1t Is also pointed out that the
color of cities Is changed according to
the amount OF carbon burned. Con-
firmation Of these facts Is offered in
historical description OF cities, Paris
being referred to by one historian OF
ancient times as ''city Of red" while
to this day certain Italian cities are
described as violet" Meteorologists

thickly settled as central Europe our
