Changes in Climate.

From the Chicago Journal.
The present summer. with it's UNUSUAL
heat and drought, has given fresh i'm
petus to the ever-active dogma that "the
climate is changing" That dogma may
be true-if given time enough. In a
world where all other things are mutable
it would be passing strange IL climate
remained the same yesterday, today and
forever. Climatic changes are known to
have taken place in the past, and may
be going on now. But all known differ
ences have come by such slow degrees
that even a man with the years OF
Methuselah would not see much differ
ence between the average season of his
boyhood and that of his declining years.
Within historic umes-say 5000 years
there may have been lessening OF
rainfall in central and western Asia and
In North Africa The question is by no
means settled, but the evidence seems TO
show that Turkestan. at least, is con-
siderably dryer now than il was thirty
centuries ago Even there. however, the
longest human life would not have SPAN
ned any noticeable change

Doctors and the Canal.
From the Pittsburgh Post


Within a month small vessels will be
able to pass through the Panama canal.
Col. Goethals has reported that dry ex-
cavation is about complete. that the last
rock has been removed from the Culebra
cut and that the dredge will now super
sede the steam shovel in smoothing out
the channel for the passage of ships.
Naturally, the army engineers are jubi-
liant. They contemplate the completion
of their work with pride and the people
applaud. The greatest engineering work
of the age stands revealed to the world.
But who made this success possible j?
We must not forget the part taken by
sanitary, science in building this canal.
The doctors led the way and made IL
possible for the diggers to do their part.
Without the work performed by them
we would not be preparing to celebrate
the passage of the first ship. Instead of
the completed waterway the country
would be indignant because Of the tre-
mendous sacrifices. De Lesseps tried to
build a canal without doctors and failed.
The United States profited from the les
son of the French operations.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.
Is Declared Church Aid-Recalls Su
periority Of Spiritual Life.

AS the second in the series of prac-
tical Sunday evening addresses, DR..
Frank G. Smith, of the First Coh-
greational church spoke last evening
on "Wky | Am Not a Christian Scien
tist." DR.. Smith said by way of intro
duction that if any had come out to
i ear him eXcoriate Christian Science
they would undoubtedly go away dis
appointed. Upon the other hand If
any had come expecting him TO coir-
eide with all their philosophy, they,
too, would be disappointed He said
he had but one motto in the investi-
cation of all the facts of life and
human experience and that is, Prove
all things. Hold fast to that which
is good"
There are many, reasons why am
not Christian Scientist. First to
become a Christian Scientist would
require of me to be intellectually dis.
honest. | do not mean to say, though,
that those who do espouse the belief
are intellectually dishonest. But that
is what would be required of me.
| am not a Christian SCIENTIST be-
cause its philosophy is entirely inca
pabe of demonstration by human ex-
perience, The claim that medicine
has no effect upon the body could
logically be followed by the Christ
ian Scientist by the claim that food
has nj effect upon the body; that
if an accident sewers limb we have
no business to trust the testimony of
the senses that such thing has oc-
Cured
Another thing | see for not being
a Christian Scientist is that there is
no necessary connection between the
philosophy of Christian science and
the results it obtains.
81 rejoice that Christian science has
come into the world 1t was born to
emphasize a great truth that the
Christian world seemed to be forget
ting, namely, the superiority of the
spiritual life. l believe it will change
much of its philosophy and many of
its customs in the next twenty five
years, and the great never-dying Chris
tian church in the meantime would
be awakened into a new and more
vital faith in Gods care of the whole
of man, body, mind and ul."-Kan-

LACY TEST HAS
REACHED OIL SAND
OIL EXPERTS CONFIDENTLY EX-
PEcT A BIG PRO oUcER ON OLD
WHEELER TOWNSHIP.

The oil men OF this section have
been observing the Lacy test for sew
eral days. The test is being made on
the old Wheeler townsite. A rotary
drill was used and the field was not
a proven one. For these two reasons
the test has been very interesting to
the oil men. A telephone message
received from the field by the Ard
moreite at 10 O'Clock this morning
stated that the sand had been struck
and oil was found and that by three
O'Clock this afternoon it ought to be
known something of what the well
will produce. Just before reaching
the sand the driller experienced some
trouble with the machinery and parts
had to be supplied by workmen of
this city hut there was not moment
of unnecessary delay and at depth of
1000 feet the fast sand was drilled
into this morning. A few hours more
&C drilling and it will be known what
the well will test. Experienced oil
men who lave gone to the well con-
fidently say that it will prove to be
one OF the best in the field and Mr.
Lacy and his associates have been
very hopeful over the prospects for
number of days.
