NE WFOUNDLAND
WOULD WARM ITS
CLIMATE BY DAM
Considers Prospect to Divert
Labrador Current From
Belle Island Straits.

ST. JOHN. Y. b. Aug. 22.-New-
foundland is contemplating chang
ing its climate The impossible of
decade ago IS the everyday at
fair Of today. so why shouldn't a
country change its climate if it
doesn't like it?
The climate of Newfoundland
would be changed if a hreokwater
were built across the Straits Of
Belle isle between the island and
the mainland and the cold abra-
dor current We're shunted out into
the Atlantic ocean. Such dam is
being seriously considered. II
would cost an immense sum Of
money but engineers say it presents
few difficulties.
Current MOIds Climate.
The Labrador current AT present
IS the chief factor in molding the
climate not only of Newfoundland,
but Of the maritime provinces of
Canada and Of New England. Com
ing down from the Arctic ocean il
pours through the straits Of Belle

its cold flood the coasts Of New

ing through Cabot strait. it turns
south and sweeps along New Eng
land. It's strong southwark flow
acts as a cold wedge which prizes
the Gulf stream away from all
these coasts and stunts that ocean
river bearing the warmth Of the
tropics off northeastwarj across
the ocean.
If the Belle Isle dam is built the
Labrador current would Ice block

and. steering off southeast. would
miss the mainland and continue 20
affect only the northeastern coast of
Newfoundland The Gulf stream
then would ease in against the con
tinent and flowing into the Gulf of
St. Lawrence warm all the sur
rounding shores and islands.
Big Temperature Factor.
The Gulf stream is responsible
for the mild winter climate Of Eng
land and northern France. Eng
land is farther north than New
Foundland. If after cooling off in
its long passage across the northern
seas the Gulf stream IS still such
a factor in tempering England 8
climate. il would have an even
greater effect. il is believed in tenn
pering the winter climate Of east
ern Canada and New England.
Its influence would be felt far in
land. The mouth Of the st. Law
renee river is in the same latitude
as southern Alberta. Yet while the
s.. Lawrence ports are blocked with
ice in winter there are only light
snowfaus on the prairie fa~ulands
Of southern Alberta. and livestock
craze out OF doors all the year

FEAST FOLLOWS ARAB FAST
institution OF the East Much Ressr1-
bIes the Christian Observance
Of Lenten Season.

AS the Mohammedan year is a lunar
one, the months rotate through the DIFF
1erent seasons, and the fast of Rama
Dan becomes severe atfllction upon
the faithful when the month happens
to fall in the hot days of summer. The
sick, travellers and soldiers in time of
war are temporarily released from this
duty, as well as nursing women and
others to whom 1t might prove injuri-
Gus. The fast is followed by the
feast of Beiram, which was established
by Mohammed, who seems to have
been guided by the Christian lnstitu-
ton of Lent, which in the early. church
varied from four to six weeks. On this
day every family of the true believers
offers a sheep to God, and the streets
of the cities are filled with men carry
ing the destined victims on their backs.
Among the Arabs the festival begins
at four In the morning. when great
crowds collect at the residence Of the
nearest pasta or hey, awaiting his APP
pearance in the court of the palace.
AT five o'clock his highness enters, ac-
companied by members of his family
and his staff; cannon are fired, the pc
culiar bands Of the East play suitable
airs, and the chief captain announces
that the hour of sacrifice has arrived,
and that his highness. after prayer.
will be present at this act. All then
adjourn to the mosque. and when the
sacrifice is over the pasha re-enters
the court and those of high rank kiss
his hand; the inferior slightly touch
ing 1t with their lips. This occupies
about an hour, when all retire to take
coffee, the captain thanking the crowd
for their presence as mark Of at
tachment to their ruler.

Flowers of Poland.

According to an English newspaper
correspondent who recently reported a
Journey he had made from Paris to
the Polish capital. the most impressive
spectacle that he saw was the mantle
of blossoms, clustered profusely. which
fringed the highways and byways
about Warsaw. "All the wars of Po-
land" he writes. '"could not check the
new life that came riding through her
borders at the head of the advancing
spring; sprays of lilac found place In
the gray caps of Polish lancers. tulips
and chestnut leaves. tokens of the new
dawn. in the garb Of peer and peasant.
Everywhere was spring yielding back
a measure of her everlasting rights"
But the flowers never took much notice

FOUGHT THE FLOWING BOWL
Eastern Monarchs and Religious Lead
ers Long Ago Lifted Their Voices
Against Drunkenness.

Temperance movements and prohibit
ton crusadeS date back at least 5000
years. 1t was China that first tried
to be bone-dry. Early reforms along
temperance lines are attributed to the
priests of India and Persia. But the
Chinese claim that in the eleventh cen
fury before Christ their emperor, so
disguised over the prevalence of drunk
enness, ordered all the grapevines in
the kingdom uprooted.
A hundred years before this bone
dry effort, In the twelfth century be-
fore Christ King Wen tried partial re-
form in China. Wen, founder of the
Chou dynasty, promulgated an AN
nouncement Against Drunkenness" ac-
cordng to ancient Chinese documents
handed down by Confucius
King Wen declared drinking has
long been a NATIONAL vice" He or
dered that wine he used only in con-
nection with sacrifces-and even then
drunkenness was not to be tolerated.
The temperance reforms also ex
listed in Egypt centuries before Christ.
Here's what a teacher said to youth
who had been looking upon the flowing
bowl too freely:
"Drink not beer to excess. The
words that come out of thy mouth
thou canst not recall Thou dost fall
and break thy limbs and no one
reaches out hand to thee. THY
comrades go on drinking; they stand
up and say: AWAY with this fellow
who is drunk If anyone should then
seek thee TO ask counsel of thee, thou
wouldst be found lying in the dust
like little child.
