EPIDEMIC
CLAIMS ITS
10TH VICTIM

CENTRALIA, Dec. 24.-Miss
Daisy Miller, one of Centralia s
best known young women, sue
cumbed to typhoid fever last
night, bringing the toll as a re-
suit of the present epidemic up
to ten. Miss Miller was a sis
ter of Frank H. Miller, promi-
nent real estate man and form
Ell mayor of Centralia.
Less than a half dozen new
cases were reported this morning
and the present situation has a
decidedly brighter aspect today.
An arrangement was made be-
tween City Health Officer DIR. f.
L. Kniskern, County Commission
or f. E Teachnor and Frank Lott
whereby the latter, who is a
Vader publisher and who recently
claimed to have discovered a cure
for typhoid, would be allowed to-
day to try his cure on one of the
patients at the armory. If he had
succeeded in bringing the pa
tents fever down to 90 he was
to be given other patients to work
on.
When the arrangement was
made known to the militia doc
tors in charge at the armory they
refused to allow Lott to enter the
place.
At the noon luncheon of the
Commercial club yesterday DR..
Eugene Kelley said that the loss
to Centralia from the epidemic
would total 100000. all of which
could have been prevented by the
installation of $50 purifier at
the intake of the water system.

HOD the Labrador
Jetty Would Change
the UOrlds Climate

0ARRoLL LIVINGSTON RIKER, a
mechanical engineer of Brooklyn,
has put forward a remarkable pro-
feet for changing the course of the Gulf
Stream.
AS result of this modification, he
claims that the climate of New England,
Nova Scotia Newfoundland, Labrador and
the whole of the northeastern part of
North America, almost up to the Arctic
Circle, would become warm and equable.
These regions would have q climate sim
liar to that OF Southern California
So convincingly has Mr.. Riker presented
his arguments that Representative Calder.
Of New York, has been led to introduce
bin in Congress appropriating 100000
for q commission to report upon the feas-
Utility of the engineers project and the
results to be obtained from 1t.
Mr.. Riker's arguments in favor of this
project are contained in an interesting
pamphlet published by him. Unlike the
author of many far-reaching projects OF
this character, he advocates no absurdi-
ties. He offers at least plausible, scientific
grounds for all his theories. He has OBJ
tanned the support of scientific men at
the United States Naval Observatory and
at Yale and Harvard Universities.
Briefly the plan of Mr.. Riker is to con-
struct a jetty two hundred miles long
IEUu Tue COAST VI NeWIOuuulduu across
the Grand Bank Of Newfoundland to
the point where the deep sea begins: The
average depth across the Grand Bank is
only 235 feet
The principal effect of this jetty. &C
cording to Mr.. Riker, would be to stop
the loss of the heat of the Gulf Stream,
which now occurs through the meeting
OF that stream with the Icy Labrador cur
rent from the Arctic Circle in the shall
low waters of the Bank. Here most Of
the warmth of the Gulf Stream is lost, but
q portion finds it's way eastward to warm
the coasts of England and Europe, while
portion OF the Labrador current escapes,
turns shoreward and produces the harsh
and uncertain climate of New England.
IL the Jetty were built the Labrador cur
ret would be forced to remain in deep
water and would continue It's course along
the bottom OF the ocean TO the equator.
At the same time the Gulf Stream, met
by no conflicting icy current, would, by
reason of its warmth, remain on the sur
face Of the ocean. The main body would
follow a course up Davis Strait to the Arc
tic region, while, on account of bottom
formation, an equally large quantity to
that which now goes to England would
make its way thther
But here Is just the crucial doubt and
difficulty about Mr.. Riker's scheme. Womb
the present supply OF warm water go IN
England? Would it not rather be cut off
thus reducing that little island to the
condition of Labrador
Many scientific observers are of the
opinion that an obstruction of the Gulf
Stream would have that effect Professor
Garrett r. seryiss, one of the foremost
American scientists, has expressed the
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-02-15

considerable indignation is expressed in
england that Americans should plan to
destroy the British climate and British
supremacy by an engineering undertak-
ing to be constructed on British terri
TORY. The English doubtless realize that
newfoundland, though a British colony,
would probably consent to the lefty, for
1t would benefit the climate of the colony,
winch is at present rather bad. Here
would be an extremely difficult problem
Tor British statesmen to face
Mr.. Rtker's project, if carried into exc
cution, might have many other very
serious consequences. It might for In
stance, cause a shifting Of the poles, a
change In the axis of the earth, and a
nodlncation OF the form of the whole
globe.
The warming OF the ---. ,nern waters
would Of course, reduce the quantity of
ice in that region. The northern end of
the earth being lighter, it would then.
through the operation of gravitation, be
more strongly attracted toward the sun
than at present At the same time the
equatorial regions Of the Atlantic Ocean
would become much colder through the
great volume of the Labrador current be-
ing carried unbroken there The equa-
torial countries of South America and
Africa would probably have climate not
Tery different from that of Virginia.
The melting of the northern ice would
increase the volume of water in the ocean
and this by the operation of mechanical
laws would increase the circumference of
the world at the equator. 1t will thus be
seen that the problem is one that serious
" concerns every nation in the world.
Mr.. Riker's project. which has been
carefully thought out, contains many in
teresung features besides those already
mentioned. He estimates that the ex-
pense of the jetty would not be more than
$2C.0OO,OO0 and possibly much less. 1t
would be largely built by the forces of
nature.
A core of rough rock would be laid upon
the bottom and this would be built up
