THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1899. Ill RELATIONS BETWEEN CLIMATE AND CRIME EFFECTS OF WEATHER ON HUMAN CONDUCT. Greater In Summer Than in Winter. Conditions Under Which Murders and Suicides Aro Most Common. Metereologlcal Fhcnomenn Re sponsible for Mnny Misdemeanors. From tlio Washington Star. Does the wenthcr regulate human conduct, and do utniospherlc rondltlons have .a marked effect unon the crimi nally Inclined? These nre the Hturtllns questions which the meteorological experts lit Washington hnve been risked to grapple with and solve. The direct result)) of their Investigation, ho far ns they have progressed, disclose some ex ceedingly Interesting facts. That man's mental functions nro to n gi eater or lesser extent governed by his physical condition Is a fact long ago discovered by psychologists. But to what extent the shortcomings or evil doings of mankind nro directly traceable to conditions of the weather it has remained until today for phy sicians, scientists nnd laymen Interest ed In Biti-li. research to find out. Indeed, tho majority of normal persons, what ever their occupation, are swayed In tellectually and physically by the pre vailing state of the weather, and the police records disclose a corresponding increase or decrease of crime with tho fnllng and rising barometer. And these statements are not haphazard, nor are hey founded upon supposition; they are matters of record and scientific fact, vouched for by the best-known and most capable authorities of the land. A CRIMINAIj BAHOMETRH. When Professor Emit Pauchney of Paris recently made the assertion that the record of murder, burglary and other crimes could be shown by n barometer mathematically constructed for the purpose Just as accurately as the weather Is now shown by t,he com mon barometer .the writer set out upon a little Journey of Inquiry nmong the meteorological sharps to ascertain Just how much of truth nnd how milch of the zeal of a scientific specialist was contained In Dr. Dauchney's statement. In what degree the French savant was right can best be decided after n perusal of the facts In hand. The statistics of the weather bu reaus prove, first, that men nnd wo men who live In high lattludcs have in their mental and physical make-up much more of the animal than have their brethren of the south, and In consequent, while the southerner Is easily discouraged nnd losing heart takes to suicide, the man who was born and llvesi in the north revenges himself upon his fellow beings rather than upon himself: and, secondly, that crime Is generally premeditated In wnrm, cloudy weather, while the deed H self is executed under cleat' and bracing meteorological conditions. The reports nf the department of ngrleul t'tie on this subject, though not as exhaustive as one might wish, nro at rtip with Hngllsh and French facts o nd figures of the same kind. Our na tive Investigators say that during ex cesslvel hot wenthcr, when there Is n pveat deal of humidity in the atmo nnheri and persons perspire more freely, when there Is little or no relief for sweltering humanity, the mind be comes to a certain extent deranged find the commission of crime results, DAU7C DAYS AND MUUDKR. After a thorough study of the ques tion, Professor Dauehney says: "When very moist the atmosphere Is a much better .onductor of electricity than at any other time. Then the nnturnl electricity Is drawn from the body, nnd this has a tendency to destroy vitality and weaken the mental faculties. Dark days aiid muggy weather means an In crease nf murder, robbery, rape, arson and suicide." jjr. 8. A. K. Strahnn, who, next to I.omhroso, ranks ns one of the foremost criminologists of the fin;, s. says, relative to the effect of weather upon those who are morally oblique: "The popular belief Is that tho winter months, nnd especially drearj November, Is the season In which eriin?s occurred most frequent ly Like siime other popular beliefs, tills has proved upon Inquiry to bo without foundutlon In fact. The ex p.mluatloti of a large collection of sta tistics, although not establishing a constant proportion for each season, shows clearly that In all countries from which statistics can be obtained the maximum is attained in one or other nf tho spring or early summer months." Dr. stratum further stites that It Is vii skl- are lowering and there .;. i ".' (38) FF EEPIOgiEe AND Is much humidity that the commission of crime Is greatest. I.ONI5L.INKS8 CONTRinUTF.g. Another Interesting fact Is this: A man or woman who Uvea much nlone is, In DO per tent, of tho catie Inves tigated, much more easily Influenced by atmospherics changes than arc oth ers, So a person who ha3 many ttou bles, nnd Is constantly thinking of them, Is much more susceptible to any sudden changing of tho weather than one who Is care free and llsht-henrt-cd. Tho clearing of a storm or a sin gle llternl ray of sunshine would, In hundreds of thousands of cases, have prevented suicide and murder. In regions like New York and Ron ton, where there nre so many nnd such sudden changes of weather, the climatic Innuendo upon human char acter und notion Is n factor of no lit tle Impo-.ance. There Is an annunl rhymthmlc Mso nnd tall which uffects the nnlmate nature. With tho ap proach of spring and the Increase of tempornturo there Is a general awak ening from the winter's period of c&mpnnitlvo rest. With this awaken ing every function Is excited to Its most vigorous action. This has a, pro found olfeet upon the whol6 organism, which begins to work at a higher ten sion. Mind nnd body nro more ncllvo thnn at nny other lime of the year. Upon the normal', healthy creature! this period of activity 1ms only tho most benign effect, but upon the ab normal creature It acts as an Incen tive to unnatural acts. Hence durlnjj 1MM5 N'v York shows an average rec ord of over S.OOd crimes per month during April, May, June and July, and th largest number of entries at the police station were made on the cloudy or rainy days of those month?. WHAT MR. DUNN SAYS. In sneaking of the peculiar effect of atmospheric conditions upon the human system. Weather Forecaster Dunn, of New York, who Is nmong the best au thorities in the world, gave ns his ob servations upon the subject of much In teresting data. ' llcsays: "During the passageofa storm, when tho tempera ture Is excessive nnd tho atmosphere Is thoroughly saturated with mois ture, such an atmospheric condition Is bound to make more or less of an Im pression upon a certain class of persons of susceptible temperament. We nil recognize the fact that on somo days we feel energetic and capable of doing almost anything, while on others tliere Is a disinclination to work or make any exertion. A person feels what Is com monly called "out of sorts,' Is Irritable, and, tho chances are, ill-natured. Of course, different persons aro differ ently constituted, and are, in conse quence, differently affected by outside conditions. Those who nre weak ment ally or physically are much more easily affected by weather conditions than others. In hot and muggy weather, when there Is an exceslve amount of humidity In the atmosphere, suicide 3 very prevalent, while, on tho other hand, more murders are committed where the air is either dry and hot or dry and cool. 'In summer, when a low barometer prevails, all nature seems depressed and melancholy Ideas appear to per vade during humidity: In a clear, brac ing atmosphere the animal part of man seems to predominate, and deeds of another nature appear to be more prevalent. A man who attempts to commit a deliberate murder would plan it on a clear, cold day rather than dur ing suicide weather. Burglary would also be planned nnd carried out when the atmosphere is clear and bracing rather than when It is heavy and de pressing. It seems a peculiar thing that In summer time poison nnd the bullet seem to be the favorite method of both murder nnd self-destruction, while In winter tho rope and knlfo ap pear to bo the most popular modes of ending the existence of cither self or another." EPIDEMICS OF CRIME. Statistics of crime show beyond ques tion the truth of Mr. Dunn's assertions relative to tho undoubted Inlluences of climatic changes upon crime. Not only aro certain crimes more frequent ly committed at certain seasons of the year, but In certain countries the cli mate Is especially conducive to such crimes. For instance, In Southern China, where a warm or humid tem perature exists for tho greater portion ,of the year, there Is less regard for life than perhaps In any other portion of the globe. Murders are every day occurrences, suicides too common to even pay attention to, while theft, rape and all other crimes are Innumerable. Tho history of crime shows that evil doing Is .subject to epidemics as well ns diseases. We find epidemics of suicides, epidemics of murders and epi demics of robberies. A careful study of the question reveals the fact that these epidemics last until the weather changes, and an analogy between tho conditions of the weather and the fre quency of crime cannot but impress the careful investigator.

D., Secretary of American Society of Religious Education. CONTEXT. Last lesson gave an ac count of tho proclamation of Cyrus and the preparation of tho Jews for re turn from captivity. Tho heads of tho families who went forth on that expe dition are recorded by Kznt In his second chapter. The congregation made a very brief stay In Jerusalem and then distributed themselve.s in the old cliles from which they or their fathers enme. (fizra II: 70.) Several months afrcr there was a general as semblage at Jerusalem for the purpose of observing the Feast of Tabernnelcs, a national festival that continued seven days at the close of tho harvest, during which the people dwelt In booths or huts made of the boughs of trees. (Deut. xvl: 13.1 The old altar that had been so long In ruins was bulldad, and sacrifices were offered ac cording to the law of Moses. The oc casion was one of public rejoicing, not unlike our Thanksgiving season, only more protracted and more generally observed. UF.G INNING (V. 10). Two years passed away before? the returned Jews fv. S) undertook to do what Cyrus had required of them in his proclamation. Tho time was well employed. The great body of the people were engaged In erecting dwellings and In providing the comforts of home, a matter of the utmost importance in a land that had been wasted by war and had been a desolation for nearly a century. Meanwhile, the ofllclals, both civil and religious, might have been busy with preparations. The debris of the old temple must be removed, materials for the new house must bo gathered, and men must be secured, some of them skilled workmen. At length, nnd In a very brief time, considering the obsta cles, all was ready for the formal be ginning. Zerubbabel, the governor, (Hag. II: 2) assembled the priests and Levites, who gathered about th trenches to witness the laying of the foundation. PRAISING (Vs. 10 and 11). That was a glad hour. Prophecies were to be fulfilled and hopes revived. A peo ple, long la bondage, brought back to their native land, deprived of all things except their religion, yet cherishing memories of God's favor in the cen turies gone by, were now to begin, by grace of the ruling monarch, a now career. It was eminently proper that there should be public expressions of Joy. Appointments had been made to that end. Arranged In order were the priests clad In their holy garments, bearing trumpets, (I Chron. xvl: f, C) and the sons of Asaph with cymbals, forming an Immense choir ntter the style of David nnd Solomon In the old temple. (I Chron. vl: SI.) Then broke forth the song of praise to God, ren dered In parts, the different sections of the choir responding to each other. That glad refrain, "Because He Is good, for His mercy endureth forever." (Psalm cxxxvl: 1) echoed and re echoed through the city, expressing the sentiment of every heart. SHOUTING (V. 11). Tho singing Indicates that crime Is, to a degree, contagious; thnt a certain ehtlcal In fluence or psychic Influence Is cast abroad nnd that this Influence Is to a large degree magnetic. Conditions of tho weather which favor the Induction of electricity or magnetism are cap able of spreading these crime germs, if we may call them, so that they come In contact with those sensitive to such Influences and a literal breeding of crime Is tho result. Just as certain atmospheric condi tions of certain localities cause the air to bo laden with the germs of malaria, so the air Itself may be said to be laden with the psychic, but none the less potent, germs of crime. Those among us who are, us we say, "acclimatized," escape the malarlul inlluences; and equally so, those among us who nre morally acclimatized escape the evil psychic germs that are sometimes among us. But the "sensitives," eith er moral or physical, fall under the dire Inlluences, and these we call criminals. Who shall say that when science, advanced to that point where the reins of natural law aro complete ly In control of man, and the weather is at his command no less than the functions of his own organism, we shall not bo able to preserve a perfect me teorological condition, and thus anni hilate an external excitant to crime, if we have not Jong before that time wiped out the criminal himself? STORIES TOLD BY TRUTHFUL MEN. A nervous young lady called a physician lor a slight ailment, but imo which she magnified, iu her own estimation, into a serious one. "Run," said the doctor to a servant, giving him a prescription, "to the nearest drug store and bring back th6 medicine as quickly ns you can." "Is there much danger?" replied th young lady, In alarm. "Yes," said tho doctor, "if your ser vant Is not quick It will be useless, "Oh, doctor, shall I die?" gasped the patient. "There Is no danger of that," said the doctor, "but you may get well be fore John returns." Boston Traveler. A story was told on tho dock recent ly In Seattle of three young men who were cured of the lnskan fever In a very practical manner. They had con cluded that they would go on the Al Kl, and had purchased three berths. "Now, you hoys," said tho aged ad viser, "want to remember that It's prettv cold up there. It's pretty low tempernture here today, but nothing to what you'll find on the Yukon Now, let me ndvlss you. Refore goln? to thnt country you would better hnva some experience. You mnv not llko it nnd then you will want to come back. Tonight promises to be pretty cold. I have n tent at my house that I used when In Alaska. You boys tnke tho tent out on Queen Anno hill nnd sleep In It tonight." "It Is now 10 o'clock. Don't ent anything until nbout S o'clock this evening. Then build a flro In your tent, 'cook some bwins nnd bacon, fix up some unsweetened black enffeo and make n meal. lmtll bedtlmo sit around the.

EZRA 111:10 to IV:5. was formal and official, as much so as the nppolnted musical renderings In our churches. However appropriate, It failed to express all that was In the heart. Ceremonluls have their proper place, but at times tli'ey seem cold and unworthy, and then tho emotional na ture seeks its own method of expres sion, without restraint of rule or regu lation of leader. So It came to pass In Jerusalem when the foundations of the temple were being laid. The trumpets of the priests nnd the cymbals of the Levites nwakened a Joy that could not be confined In the hearts of the people who wore assembled. Like waters that burst forth from fountains the gladness overflowed. With shoutings nnd other demonstrations of a physical sort the multitude spontaneously told each to the other, and all to their God, tho sense of gratitude and of hopeful ness ns tho foundations of the tcmplo were laid. WEEPING (Vs. 12 nnd 13). All this rejoicing was occasioned by a look into tho future. Tho building of the temple signified the restoration of re ligious privileges, with all the benefit to be derved therefrom. (Psalm cxxll: 1.) Despite the waywardness of somo religion Is the largest element In hu man society, and a house of worship stands for more than any other one structure. It Is the center of Influences that run out like rivulets to the hum blest nnd the least, blessing nil even though some are unaware nnd inatten tive. They who looked forward there fore sang nnd shouted. But others looked backward. The old men, crowned with nearly a hundred years of experience, remembered the former house (Hag. II: .11 and the associations connected with It, remembered also the men of the former day, now sleeping the long sleep, and they wept. So It came to pass that with shouts and songs by some and with tears and sobs by others the stones were laid In the trenches. PROPOSING (Vs. 1 nnd 2) The captivity of Israel, the northern king dom, effected B. C. 721, hail been more complete than was that of Judith. The Assyrians had not only deported the larger part of the Inhabitants, leav ing only a poor remnant, but they had returned to the land, somo from other portions of the empire, so that the country might not become the mere habitation or wild beasts. In the course of the century and a luJIf that followed to the time of our lesson these two races, the Israelites sqid the Assyrians, had Intermairled, produc ing a mongrel race Inferior to both. On learning that the building of the temple had begun, these? people cam to Zcrubbahel nnd proposed to unite in the work, declnrlng that they had ndr.pted the religion of the Jews nnd that they worshipped the God of tha Jews. The offer was not wholly unllko that of the Glbconltes (Josh., ix,6), in the days of the conquest. REFUSING (V. 3)-The proposal was rejected, ns It ought to have been, for the following reasons: 1. Zerub- Joy it. go to Alaska; If not, stay nt home." Tho boys caught up with the idea enthusiastically, nnd promised to car ry -out tho programme. Whether they did or not Is not known, but yester day morning throe miserable-looking boys cancelled three tickets on the Al-Kl nnd as they humbly left the steamship office one was heard to say: , "Do you really suppose It gets that cold In Alaska?" Seattle Intelligencer. A pretty anecdote Is related of a child who was greatly perturbed by the dis covery that her brothers had set traps to catch birds. Questioned ns to what she had done in the matter, she replied: "I prayed that the traps might not catch the birds." "Anything else?" "Yes," she said. "I then prayed that God would prevent the birds getting Into the traps, and," as If to Illustrate the doctrine of faith and works, "I went and kicked the traps all to pieces." Household Words. An Alabama editor, being asked to give a definition of "poetry," replied: "Poetry Is nothing more than words thrown together with a Jingle at tho end of each lino like the music of a tin can at tho end of a dog's tall." Not to bo outdone by the above, a Georgia editor ndds this opinion: "Poetry is the foollshest thing In the world, but It has return stamps on one end that help an editor to get his mall off." Atlantic Constitution. Imagine a clerk trying to sell an ar ticle to his own "boss" and actually ac complishing it and winning an increase of salary as a reward! That Is what happened recently In one of the branch stores of Llptou, the great English grocer and provision dealer. He lias so many clerks that some of them do not know him by sight. It was one of theso latter that called Mr. Upton's attention to a fine specimen of poultry as ho was walking through one of his stores, and the clerk was so earnest and adroit In extolling his wares that llnally the cus tomer ordered It to be sent to his resi dence. When the address was given the en ergetic clerk, and ho found that he had been pressing tho goods upon his own employer, he nearly had a lit, but soon recovered after being Informed that his assiduity had earned him an Increase of pay. Merchants' Review. "What would you do If I turned you down?" she shyly asked as they sat on the sofa. The young man looked straight ahead, but said nothlmr. After a silence lasting about a min ute and a half she nudged him with her elbow and said: "Didn't you hear my question?" He looked around alarmed. "I beg your pardon." he replied, "I thought you were addressing the gas." Puck. A white minister, after conducting services at a colored church, asked an old deacon to lead In prayer. Tho brother lit black offered a fervent up peal for tho white brother and said: "Oh Lord, give him de eye oh do caglo net he spy out sin afar off. Wav his hands to the Gosopl plough. Tlo his tonguo to tho line of truth. Nail his ear to the Utwpel pole. Bow tils head babcl, Joshua and their associates, and they only, had received tho permission from Cyrus to build tho temple. They hnd no authority to transfer any part of the task to another or to associate others with themselves. 2. These northern neighbors could not become part of the Jewish household without Imperiling nil the interests of the new society to he formed. There would be with this Infusion of mixed blood much danger of lowcrlnr: the standard "f morals nnd piety. 3. The) kingdom of Israel wns completely destroyed by the judgment of God who did not Intend ever to restore that pecplo (Acts vlll. 21). Hnd they been brought In, God's purpose would hnve been frustrated. For these reasons Zcrubbabel acted wisely declaring that lie and the peoplo with him could accept no outside as sistance. HINDERING. (Vs. 4 nnd C). The Assyrlo-Israelltlsh people resented the refusal of Zerubbabel. They may hnve felt thnt by reason of their long resi dence In the land they had greater right than any new comers, and that on the score of religion their right was equal. They could not bo supposed to look with Indifference upon the estab lishment of religious services and a community gathered about those ser vices from which they should he ex cluded. Such action would be a stand ing reproach to them and to their chil dren. Hence they opposed what before they had offered to assist. Their oppo sition took two forms it wns direct ed ngalnst the Jews themselves, by lay ing difficulties before them for their discouragement, nnd It wns nlso em ployed at the king's court through hired counselors (Ezra lv:12-16) who sought to reverse the decree concern ing the building of tho temple. This continued nil through the reign of Cy rus. It is probable thnt this hostility was the secret enuse of that animosity which afterward existed between the Jews and the Samaritans. (John lv:9). REFLECTIONS. Every work Is re lated to tho past and to the future, It gathers up and conserves the results of the struggles of bygone centuries, and It makes possible the achievements of the coming time. Memory and hope stand to view the laying of foundation stones, shedding tears or offering praise. It Is a great honor to begin a good enterprise, to take thoso first steps which Involve the Interest of hu manity, but It is also a most solemn responsibility, requiring wisdom nnd courage. At such a time one is liable to mistakes, and decisions made In ref erence to proposals may cause much anxiety nnd trouble. It usually occurs that every good work meets opposition. Somo who selfishly seek to co-operato afterward hinder. Many good enter prises have been delayed through the sinister motives and evil deeds of ene mies. And yet this opposition Is only for a time. Zerubbabcl's temple, though delayed, was built. So every good work that has God's approval, however numerous the foes, shall suc ceed.

This is tho verbatim report of an In tensely interesting dialogue which took place at a recent uptown dinner. It began with soup: "Yes," said one, "I call any standard wheel a good wheel." "What's your test for a standard wheel?" inquired the other. "Well, I don't mean a cheap wheel." "Oh, your Idea Is that a wheel Is all right If It cost a hundre?" "I didn't sav so." "I said that a standard wheel ought to be all right." "You ride a Boomerang, don't you " ' l'es, and It's a good wheel." "Huh, I wouldn't give It house room. Why don't you trade it for a Dodo?" "A Dodo? I wouldn't have a Dodo on the premises. The Dodo uses the Flim flnm tire." "It's the best tiro made. I wouldn't trade a Flimflam for a stack of Gou goos." "I don't use a Googoo.
