fierce tropical summers and very cold
winters. The heat of the summers,
however, did not suffice to melt the
great blanket Of ice, owing to its
"latent heat"-that is, mass Of ice
will not melt until the whole is brought
up to o temperature of 80 degrees
Fahrenheit, and then 1t requires sew
enty-nine times more heat to convert it
to water than it does to raise it one
degree In this way the ice resists the
attacks of the sun for long time.
As soon as the winters became
warmest (about 5000 b. c. vast
regions were In n condition whore the
summer sun overcame the resistance
Of the ice to melting. The resulting
deluge, on account of overhowlng
rivers and the bursting Of ice bar
riers, might well have spread uni
versal dread and caused the survivors
to hand down to their descendants the
flood tradition. at is probable that
after this date the vast migration of
the human race took place and man
spread from the subj tropical regions
into Central Europe. Indeed, the
organized worship at Stonehenge may
perhaps be traceable to the Minoan
civilization at Crete"
Since then the winters have been
getting steadily warmer and will con-
tinue to do so for the next 378 years,
or until A. D. 2297, the year in which
the obliquity will be the least, and
during which there will be but little
difference between the seasons.
This coming change is intensely in
teresting from an economic point of
view. Large tracts Of land in Can
ada, which are at present too ice
bound for agricultural operations, will
be made to yield their supply of wheat

foot to do this. Siberia, according to
some statisticians, Will ultimately be
capable of growing enough corn to
feed the entire world.
Of course, after the period of de-
creased obliquity, the past ice ages are
bound to recur, and the lands near the
equator will present region for the
activities of the human race. The
Arctic circle will be brought down to
latitude of 55 degrees (and even lower

Either the northern civilization will
move southwark, or else it will sue
cufnb before the darker races. As this
condition Will not take place for some
20,000-odd years, it is not matter to
give the average healthy adult a nerv-
Gus breakdown.
Within 400 years the mean between
the next glacial period and the last
will have been reached. 1t is then that
there will be a recurrence of the eli
mate during which the fig tree bloomed
luxuriously in Greenland, for, in truth,
fossils of this tree have been unearthed
there. Can it be that our recent strik-
ingly warm winter s the first of a
series which will terminate in such a
climate that we will be compelled to
import palm leaf fans from Siberia
in order to ward off the tropical Ice
landic breezes?
Yes, the days are gone, the days
when we awoke to the sound of the dry
snow softly hitting the windows, the
scrape Of the snow shovels and the
tapping of the ice choppers on the
sidewalk. We have seen the last of the
winters when the green car sweepers
went their way amid a cloud Of brown
snow and the chilled wayfarers walked
with cramped steps along the icy pave
ments.

And Then
Gunpafi

Then comes another elephant in q
new scheme OF frenzied decoration. He
Is finer even than the first, for he
carries relatives Of the royal house in
his howdah Yet another amazing
monster, bearing other high person
ages, and then Gunpati himself, borne
in sedan chair which is massed and
punched with flowers, rosettes and
garlands. He is rosy of nose and glad
Of garments, seemingly content to go
with his usual jolly carelessness to
the watery grave, and looking very
proud and pleased with his own funeral
procession.
And even now we have not men
toned the passage of the King of Ele-
plants, which bears his hghness the
Maharaiah. Who could portray with
mean black ink the swaying gold cloth
the eardrops reaching to the ground
the silvertipped tusks, the elegantly
painted trunk? He is an apotheosis
of gorgeousness, and in fine white

Never Married

History further relates that when
Gunpati's mother suggested his taking
wife he gallantly asserted his deter
mlnation never to we'd q wife less
beautiful than Parvati herself, which
must have been very pleasing remark
emanatlng from son-yes, even a son

But-to Gunpati's procession as I
started for it in Baroda city.
There were massed crowds in all the
main streets as I drove down to the
Treasury Building, from which we were
invited to see the god pass by in his
glory.
The closed shops, the doOrways, the
window sllls, the balconies, the first,
second and third floors, even the roofs
themselves, bristled with masses of ex-
cited watchers. Babies were piled into
pyramids and bayoneted in their stom
achs by big brown fists; one even
crowned his father by sitting nestled in
his turban.
The crowd famed like a flower gar
den, chrome, yellow, orange, ultra
marine and rose huddled together in
strips Of varying widths. White,
painted yellow by the glowing after
noon sun, bound the bouquets together,
and hum Of excited voices rose in a
continuous chant to the blue sky above.
A gun goes off. All! Gunpati has
started from the palace.
He has called at the residence of his
highness the Maharajah, and with a
twinkle in his very modern eye his
highness has agreed to lead the hand

accompany Gunpati on his final tour

Here they come; we rise in our seats

Children jump with excitement, babies

Soldiers, banner bearers, champing

Family Tree

Gunpati is the reputed son of silva
and Parvati, and he represents the
qualities of moderate wisdom AID tenn
pered prudence. He is invoked bv the
Hindu at the outset of any new under
taking. In starting a business or takino
new house, an image of Gunpati is
set up near at hand, dedication to him
is written at the beginning of book.
and he is called upon for protection at
the commencement of a journey.
His history runs that Parvati told
the boy, who was then an ordinary feat
ured, commonplace sort Of child, to
protect her privacy from intrusion
while she was taking her bath.
Meanwhile silva returned from !. long
journey-so long that he and his child
appeared strangers to each other Gun
patti acting upon his mothers instruc
tlons, tiercely opposed Siva's entrance
Naturally infuriated at being de tained
upon his own threshold, silva drew his
sword and cut off the boys head. The
mother rushed out and informed silva
that he had killed his own child, the
child who was SO faithfully obeyinr her
commands. The Mortified silva ran out
into the jungle, vowing that he would
secure the head of the first living being
he met and place it upon the boys
shoulders. An elephant was the first
passerby, so, unhesitatingly, silva sliced
OH the mighty head and placed it upon
the shoulders of the child Thus was
Gunpati made the elephant headed ono.
No boy can escape the teasing of his
companions if he bears a headpiece like
this. Boys are not the sort of char
acters who pass over personal peculiari-
ties in well-bred silence. So the tests
of the young fell like arrows about
Gunpati's tapping ears, but the gods
gave him strength to defend himself.
Thus we hear of Gunpati performing
wonderful feats which set him up again
in everybody's estimation, as, for in
stance, when he indulged in large
yawn and showed the assembled COM
pany q miniature of the whole of crea
tion in his mouth. Another time he

upon the lifting edge of the basin and
watch the priests who are administer
ing the last rites to our friend Gun
patti. Some chanting is heard, and
swish of smoke goes up from the sacra-
mental fire.
The sun has dipped now and the
auspicious moment has arrived. By
dozen or TWO bare-legged men Gunpati
is borne into the water.
A few moments later there is cheer
and splash.
Gunpati is no more.
His highness moves away in the
state carriage which awaits him, and
we all scramble for our carriages, and
go cheerily home through the warm
dusk to await the certainty of wise and
jolly Gunpati's rebirth next year.

street stood familiar figure, one that

Of terror--a policeman. There he
stood, trying to keep the can1cls and
their drivers off the sidewalk and the
monkeys OFF the wires which bridged
the street. High above everything
lowered the Woolworth Building, the
home of the "banderlog." Long, iuicv
stemmed creepers hung out of the win
dows, and the monkeys could be seen
running up and down on them or
swinging in wide curves from tower to
tower. A painted hamingo numbered
across the sky and tapped into the open
door of the Aquarium. Mike turned
over on his bench and went to sleep in
the hot sunlight.
He awoke and saw the policeman ap-

Of blue linen standing out against the
bright background. Instnctively Mike
