MONTAY, JULY 21. 1913 THE SOUTH BEND NEWS-TIMES. SUNDAY, JULY 20, IMS A NEW AMERICAN ASTONISHER; IT IS A PLAN TO CHA NGE THE CLIMATE OF AQUARTER OF THE GLOBE;

by iii:hbi;kt cjiick. One of tho mst intrrcMlrur. appealing, ntnnishinsr and revolutionary pohemcs ever laid hpfuro th world is 3'ack of a bill Intrjlm-eI in Iho lower houo of congrrpj ly Hep. ('aider of New York. It is nothing les Thnn a project "which ha for its oljrt the charming of the climates of (J rpnlanl, Iceland, rjrpat Britain and Ireland. Norway, Sv.eden and north wef-tern Iiusfia, Finland. Lapland and. in fact, a great part of Kurope. The ,mile naturally follows the usrprestion. Man cannot change cli-

IIEKBCRT QUICK. mates. At least he never has. And to chanpe all tho climates of the north Atlantic shores the thins is absurd. It transcends tho power of uny man. It mlht be within the power of a race of genii but not for the genus homo! And yet Col. George Goethals, Jmilder of the Panama canal, says that "the subject warrants investigation," and that h hopes the real ttuthor of tho scheme, Carrol I.. Biker of Brooklyn, "will be successful in securing the passage of the bill." Therefore, the matter is worth thinking about. Everynody knows about the gulf Ftream and its effects on the climate of western Europe. It is the mightiest river in the world but it Hows ' through the ocean and not across the land. England is as far north as Iubrador but England is a great paradise most of the year, while Labrador is a frozen desert. The Gulf stream is the reason it is the greatest hot-water radiator in the universe. - It Hows out of the Gulf of : Mexico. carrying the waters warmed by the heat of the equatorial sun and tete? northeast parallel with the Atlantic coast of this country and strikes Newfoundland. There it is shattered and stunned by tha land and the shallows called the Grand bands. , It mvt'ts the cold waters coming down, between Greenland and Iabrador and mixes with them in these shahows where the cold water has to come to the surface to get oyer the ridge of sand, instead of Jlowing deep down as it does where It has the chance. These are the dlfllculties met by the gulf stream. But, in spite of them, it spreads out like a great fan and warms all western Europe. Mr. Jtiwer proposes to make the drifting sand build a jetty 200 miles long and reaching from Newfoundland eastward to the Grand banks. This Jetty is intended to cut off the fold waters In their journey southward, bringing such icebergs as that which sank the Titanic and to make they How farther easr, where the ocean is deeper. There they will creep along the bottom of thv sea and not Interfere with the gulf stream.

A branch of the pulf stream then flo-v along the west coast Greenland so Mr. Biker says

many timos as much warm water will wash the shores of Iceland and the nations of Europe. In view of the fact that the Gulf stream carries 9 0 billion cubic yards of water pr hour . past Cape Florida, with a tempera-

will of and

ture of 75 degrees and that this water in cooling to ?5 degrees would be able to melt IS hundred square miles of ice, 10 feet thick per hour, it is perfectly certain that it is not doing half its possible work in making Ireland the Emerald isle and caus'.ng the present difference between the weather of sunny Italy and stormy Cape Cod great as these differences are. Conceding the possibility of obstructing the drift of sand on the sea bottom and making it build its own Jetty which Mr. Biker contends for and allowing the effects of It on the polar current and the gulf stream as seem reasonable; and we have before us the biggest problem in terrestrial change ever offered for consideration. Do we dare to change the climates as proposed ? Iceland would welcome the change. She has no vested interests in frigidity. But what would Ireland say? I iocs she care for a warmer climate? Would the shamrock grow as green as n f w Would Scotland trade her dour weather for that of northern France? What would become of the poetry of British weather? How would the readers of Dickens interpret his fogs in which Gaffer Hexham took his toll of the floating bodies on the Thames and the snowstorms that whitened Mr. Pegotty's coat? But Norway .and Sweden may be counted upon as favoring the Newfoundland jetty. They would gain by it, even though the ice trade with England were imperilled. And Bussia well, when one considers that Russia's greatest need is an ice-free port, that Archangel on the White sea is a fine harbor which would be brought into the circle of Ice-free ports by Mr. Biker's jetty if the scheme works one may easily see what a huge international affair this harmless-looking house bill No. 28233 may become. The bill, however, only provides for a commission to study the plans for the jetty and compute its probable effects; and the eminent men who ask for the passage of the bill have thereby only evinced an interest in the matter. They do not accept all Mr. Biker's views. But there is no doubt that the minds of many sane and well-informed people are a good deal impressed by Mr. Biker and his claims.

Millworkers in Ipswich, Mass., who are on strike, are now being evicted from their homes and forced to take up their residence on the public streets. The homes are tho property of the mill owners and they believe they can make the strikers return to their places by taking th e roofs from over their families. Here is shown a striker and his family, consisting of a yife and four children, eating their breakfast on the sidewalk. Behind them is piled their household goods. So far over 100 families have been evicted.

GRAVE ABUSES ARE REPORTE

COLUMBUS. O.. July 21. Grave ami almost unbelievable abuses involving the school lands In Ohio are

I being reported now by the Ohio

school survey. The survey has taken the case of one county as an instance and proceeds to show- just what is being done in that county regarding lands originally set apart for schools and still generally supposed to be used for school purposes. For example the treasurer and the clerk in one of the townships have recently

built upon school lands but have made no effort to pay any rent. The mayor of a village also has built upon a part of the school ground and pays no rent. The treasurer of another township has collected no rents since 1907 and is still holding the funds collected at that time instead of making the proper distribution of the funds to the various school boards. In the same county the auditor was very dense in his understanding of the lawgoverning school lands and is not making the appointments of trustees which he is suposed to make when truetees are not elected. Therefore many of the trusteeships are vacant. It is found also that, parcels of the lands have repeatedly changed hands and the present occupants claim to have clear titles although the land has never been sold by the trustees to any purchasers. There are 64 persons occupying . the lands in one of tho townships at present and all of

them claim ownerships but when confronted with the facts, they all have admitted that they are merely taking a chance at becoming the ultimate owners. They explain that since no collections for rent have been made for many years they had come to believe that the whole school land proposition had been dropped.

Legend Says He Killed 60,000 Moors at Battle of Clavjo Saint's Days for Week.

HERE'S FINE PLACE TO LIVE. INDIANAPOLIS, July 21. A pathetic letter to Gov. Ralston from a woman at Knox, Ind., has resulted in tho town beinp without a lockup. The woman complained of the insanitary condition of the calaboose and said her son was made ill while serving a term for drunkenness. Gov. Ralston turned the letter over to Dr. Hurty. who at once communicated with Dr. W. C. Schweier. health officer at Knox. A reply came that the lockup had been condemned and w ill not be used for that purpose again.

The following are the saints days for the coming week: Monday, July 21, Praxides, virgin, second century; Victor of Marseilles, martyr, beginning of fourth century; Arbogatus, bishop of Strasburg, 678. Tuesday, 22, Mary Magdalen, first century. Wednesday, 23, Apollinaris, bishop of Ravenna, martyr, first century; Bridget of .Sweden. Thursday, 2 4, Christina, virgin and martyr, beginning of fourth century; Francis Solano, 16th century. Friday, 25, James the Great, the apostle; Thea and Valentina, virgins, martyrs, oOS. Saturday, 26, Anne, mother of the Virgin Mary; Germanus, bishop of Auxerre, 44S. The 2 5th of July is dedicated to St. James the Great, the patron saint of Spain. At the battle of Clavijo, fought

in S41, between Ramiro, king of Leon, and the Moors, it is stated that when the day was going hard against the Christians St. James appeared on the field in his own proper person, armed with a sword of dazzling splendor and mounted on a white horse; having housings of scaltop shells. He slew 60,000 of the Moorish infidel, thereby gaining the day for Spain and Christianity. The great Spanish order of knight

hood. Santiago de Espada i?t. James t

of the .Sword wa.s founded in commemoration of this event. The city of Compostella in Galicia became the

chief seat of the order of St. James:

from the legend of his body having been discovered there. The badge of the order is a bloodstained sword in the form of a cross, charged, as her

alds term it, with a white scallop shell. The motto is "Rubet ensis

sanguine Arabum" "Red is the sword with the blood of the Moors." Coming down from ancient times there has been in many nations a belief that various saints could be re

lied upon in time of need for efficient service in battle. The English went Into battle with cries for St. George, the French called upon St. Martin

and St. Denis and the Spanish appealed for victory to St. James. The Hebrews called on Jehovah and the Mohammedans invoked Allah and their prophet Mahomet for victory. The historian, Gibbon, observes that "a -stupendous metamorphosis was performed in the ninth century, when, from a peaceful fisherman of the Iake of Gennesareth, the Apostle James was transfigured into a valorous knight who charged at the head of Spanish chivalry In battles against the Moors.
