IS OUR CLIMATE CHANGING?

To the Editor of The RepubIican:-
 We are having a series of dry sum ners such as we here have not known before. Last autumn people living on this common carried water from springs four months or more. and the springs could not furnish sufficient for cattle We have begun the same process again, and for four years it has been much the same, while only about 20 years ago the rains were so excessive that rowen was in some in stances abandoned to the fields for lack of fair weather enough to dry it.
 Is this great change probably per- manent, or is it only tenn mporary? Does any science know the cause of it? And is there any reason to think the cli- mate is to become like that of the Pa cif1c coast, where severe summer drouths are the rule? Or is there a history of such a succession of drouths in former years, of which these are but a repetition?
