that ingenuity further. At first 1t was
no impossible task TO carry him up

Chances of Climate.

A scientist who recently Investigate
ed the causes of secular variations In
temperature at the earth's surface
thinks that they are more probably
due to changes In the amount of car
bonic acid In the atmosphere than to
variations in the heat of the sun. If
the amount OF carbonic acid that the
air now contains was diminished a
little more than half the mean tenn
perature all over the earth would, II Is
stated. drop about eight degrees,
which would be sufficient to bring on
another glacial period. ON the other
hand, an increase OF carbonic acid be
tween two and three times its present
amount would raise the mean temper
ature fifteen degrees and renew the
hot times of the eocene epoch.-Boston

MIDDLE NAMES.
In England at One Time People Were
Hanged For Having Them.

In England at One Time People We're
Hanged For Having Them.
People have not always been allowed
the pleasure Of having as many names
as they wish. Indeed, 400 years ago
not even a middle name was allowed
in England 1t was illegal. The old
English law was definite and admitted
OF no infractlon OF its ruling
The only exception made to this iron
clad regulation was I'm the case OF per
sons OF royal rank. If they really
wished IL they could boast n middle
name, but woe to the person of ordi-
