Vernal Equinox
and Theory of
Climatic Change

The vernal equinox, March 21st,
with the equinoctial period. The
suns rays are vertical over the
equator at this date and days and
nights come closer to being at equal
length, latitude considered, than at
any other period, the fall equinox
excepted. Whether or not the wealth
er feels balmy astronomers call March
21st the beginning of spring. From
standpoint of solar energy reflected to
the earth the spring equinox is the
same as the fall equinox beginning
September 21st. The difference in
temperature is due to spring follow
ing a long period of winter during
which time the earth chills. The
warm, balmy days of the fall are due
to storage of warmth from summer
months. From now on until June 31st
the days will be longer and longer
and the nights shorter and shorter
until perihelion, or the point of orbit
nearest the sun, is reached. From
then until December 21st the days
will be shorter and the nights longer
until aphelion, or the point farthest
from the sun, is reached.
Science also explains periods of re-
current warmth followed by periods
of recurrent cold in like manner,
stating that the orbit of the earth has
a swing outward and inward in rela-
ton to the sun and that for millions
Of years this swing has been going
back and forth. During the inward
swing the earth becomes extremely
hot and tropical verdure covers the
globe. During the outward swing the
globe chills and the ice caps extend
through large areas in the temperate
zone. We are living in one of the
periods between an out swing and an
in swing, indicating that the tendency
is toward warmth although the aver
age change may not be more than a.
degree in century. When one reflects
that these giant swings are probably
10000 years, if not more apart, he be-
gins to realize the verify of SoIomon's
saying: There is nothing new I'M
der the SUM-" That is anything that
we have now may have existed before
and in much higher degree and still
have been entirely obliterated.
Anyhow, spring is coming.-A. L. S.

Architects Do Not
Have to Pay the Bills.

Why, we wonder, do architects
knowing just how much money has
been voted for a certain community
improvement, invariably render plans
that will cost considerably more than
the amount appropriated to carry out?
When the city hall was first voted
on $4,000 was appropriated. The ar
chitects's plans were so large that a
similar sum had to be voted later.
Now the building is near completion
no one seems to know what to do with
it.
The school architects, Parkinson &
Oockendorf, knew the electors after
considerable debate had voted $175,-
600 for new high school. Materials
and labor were as high, if not higher,
then than they are now when bids are
asked for. In spite of this the plans,
commendable as they undoubtedly
are, require fifty percent more money
to carry out than the amount the peo-
pie voted
The Herald would hesitate to take
the practical and perhaps small view
