CLIMATE AND SCIENCE.

DF. Andrew D.. Hopkins. of the Department Of
Agriculture, makes a speciality OF studying the climate
and the weather of the world. Among other thinss, he
maps the world according to it, tines Of climate rather
than according to parallels OF latitude. The several
zones are designated on the map by lines which are as-
tabltshed by the inclination Of the carth's axis to the
plane OF its orbit, and those lines are regular and con-
slant. But the lines Of climatic equality are very DIT
ferent. things. They are affected, not alone by the in
clination Of the earth's axis, but by its ocean eurrents
and IL winds. Its mountain raneessand continental bod
ies, together with . number Of other things.
II Is generally known, for instance, that climatic
lines on this continent do not follow the lines of latitude,
but run in a northwesterly direction. The temperature
1t q given point on the eastern coast of North America,
for instance, corresponds quite closely with that at a
point eight or ten degrees farther north on the west
coast.
BY the use of the charts which have been prepared,
" Is possible to know quite closely when the usual sea.
sonal changes will take place anywhere on the earth's
surface. 1t must be understood, however, that while
this information is useful. it is necessarily general, and
cannot apply to conditions anywhere in a particular
year. We need only the experience Of our own locality
to teach us that spring weather, suitable for the begin
ming Of farming operations. may vary a month or more
from year to year in the time Of it's arrival. We may
have an unusually cool season or an unusually warm
one. or ono in which extremes OF heat and cold alternate
rapidly. II we had a compiete record. OF the weather
Since weather first began, It would be of no assistance
to us in estimating what the temperature would be next
September.

wiped her eyes and blew her nose,
and went away. Rachael went slow
ly upstairs.
Late that same afternoon, as she
and the trained nurse were drearnily
Keeping one Of tho long sick-watches,
she looked at the patient, and was
surprised to see his rather instsntf-
cant eyes fixed earnestly upon her.
Instantly she went to the bedside and
knelt down.
What is it, charne.boyT" she
asked, in the merest rich. tender es-
sence Of tone. The sick eyes broke
over her ~dtstressedly. She could sec
waxen temples, and the lean hand
over which she laid her own was cool
after all these feyerish days, un.
w~holesomely cool.

answered, tears in her eyes.
He smiled. and drtfted into that
other world SO near our own for a
few moments. Then she started at
Charlotte's name.
Charlotte" he said in a ghostly
whisper, said she would like a house
all greenland pink-with roses-"
Rachael was instantly tense. All,
to get hold Of poor starved little
Charlotte, to give her these last
precious seconds, to let her know he
had thought Of her!
What about Charlotte. dear, dear

AS A MAN READS

1t is usually conceded that the character and the
acts Of an individual'are greatly influenced by his read
ms. Acceptance of this theory may be said to be uni
yersal. In this connection it 10 interesting to note the
statement that has been made with reference to. the
reading habits of Roy Harris, alias Leonard, the young
man who, q few years ago. confessed that he and a
companion murdered Elwell, the New York millionaire.
Last summer. and who later repudtated his confession.
The young mans wife made 4 long. and, apparently,
. very frank statement in which she declared that her
husband could not have committed ths murder, because.
on the night II va committed, he was with her at thar
home In = distant part of New York. In the course of
hsF etatanaent she described her domestic life with her
husband. end his habits, some Of which are described
- being peculiar and erFatie. Among other things she
ssys that her husband vas a great reader, showing
accounts Of murders, and such books as the life of Jesse
James.
Here the astute reader will at once trace 4 connec.
which he confessed. If he committed the murder he
was undoubtedly prompted thereto by his reading. II
he did not commit it, his reading had induced a morbid
mental attitude toward crime which had prompted the
confession of a crime which he had not committed. Thus
far everything is satisfactory.
Bnt in the same connection the young woman says
that her husband had been a great reader Of editorials,
that he often had her read such articles to him., especial.
~ the editorials In the Literary D4geA.
Here we have a disturbing factor. 1t is true that
iAcauttous lndulgences in the reading Of editorials may
operate as an incentive to crime. Most editors have
doubtless discovered traces Of this tendency in the oc-
cahonal communications which they have received. COM
nentinE on their own work. But if it is unsafe to read
the Literary Digest, what is sfe? This is = problem
which needs to be investigated.
