NOT GROWING COLDER. Earth's Climate Has Not Changed Within Historic Times. During the last few years the sup position that the earth is growing cold- Mr has received a setback from the consideration of the consequences •which result from the discovery of radium in the earth's rocks. If radi um exists throughout the interior of the globe in the same quantities in which It appears in the surface rocks, then such Is the volume of heat which It would render up that the earth ought to be growing hotter Instead of colder. If, furthermore, the earth were slightly Increasing in temperature, the amount of rainfall precipitated from the atmosphere would become greater rather than less, and as, at the same time, the amount of water, shut up in the earth's rocks would also be forced out in greater quantities by increas ing heat, it would not be possible to suppose that the earth's surface was becoming dryer. Therefore the supposition that the earth has exhibited within historic time any general drying up or any tendency to revert with more and more suspicion, and the hypotheses have been substituted that either the apparent variations of cllmftte are local, or else that they are the results of some seesaw of conditions, the causes of which remain to be discov ered. In short, whatever test be applied, It becomes extremely hard to show that the climate of any portion of the civilized world has appreciably chang ed within historic time. —London Post. Shooting at Storms. Another popular belief has been rudely shaken as the result of a scien tific investigation. There has not been much heard of late about producing rain by the discharge of explosives, but the belief in the efficacy of can non in breaking up hailstorms has been more persistent. In the vine growing regions of Prance and Italy the injury done by hailstorms Is a very serious matter, and the firing of a cannon has come into quite general use as a means of prevention. But now comes from United States Consul Sharp, of Lyons, a series of articles giving the conclusions arrived at by the French department of commis sions of meteorology showing Its dis belief In the efficacy of the practice. It does not find that the firing of can non is at all beneficial for the pur pose of dispersing hailstorms. Why is This Thus? The loc«il papers in Sullivan and Wyoming counties are carrying ad vertising for Chicago mail order houses. There is no law againsl it, and we really do not blame the newspapers in question, but the merchants in the towns where said papers are printed ought to take all the advertising space they have foi sale. These mail order houses are not in business for their health, at all, at all. If they advertise in lo cal newspapers throughout the county it is simply and solely be cause it pays them to do so. They are not "interested in the town," and they don't pretend that they are "giving the poor devil a lift." It is a business proposition with them, and it pays them or they would not do it. Why then, should it not pay the local merchants Every merchant in every town in Wyoming and Sullivan counties should make a contract for space in their local papers and take all the space there is for sale. The propietors of the papers would be only too glad to favor them. The Sentinel has not been asked to carry an advertisement for a mail order house, and if we were wt don't know where we could put it. The Canton merchants are very good to us.—Canton Sentinel. Your sentiments are ours exactlj Bro. Newell. Some merchants are slow to realize the benefit of news paper advertising and drift along with a sluggish business, some times lor years, with possibly thi aid (?) of a few signs tacked te trees and fences,at least they art tacked there for a few days o: weeks —and which are read but few times by the passers-by. Tin mail-order concerns advertise where they know it pays them ant their methods should be a lesson t< the local merchants. We are wil ling to concede that there is not i printer in this section or any othe who will not willingly give up tin custom of the mail order house fo an equal amount of advertising from the home merchant. Tin neglect to advertise consistently though judiciously is merely a ueglect of the merchant to enlightei himself to the best and most econ omical method of reaching his patrons and those whom he desires to secure as future customers. Slain Girl's Body Found In Woods. The body of Marie Smith, the ten year-old school girl, who disappeared last Wednesday after leaving the Hradley schoolhoiiße in Asbury Park N.
