Every Part of the Earth's Surface is Subject to Slow But Continuous | Alteration of Position. As we read the records imprinted on the earth's crust of the so-called Lo.don Basin we find some 25,000 years ago, in the age of the sand, gravel and clay deposits, a climate about the same as Egypt, inhabited by all kinds of tropical plants (palms, cocoanut trees,) and animals, includ- | | ing some ten different kinds of turtles, long-nosed and shor.-nosed ones. Then, as the ages rolldd om, the cli- mate changed from that of sub-tro- pical heat to semi-arctic 'cold, from that of Egypt to that of Iceland. And | that was 5,000 years before Adam's time. Gradually then the climate began to: get warmer. We find, in the Pleisto- cen: period, together with flint knives, lintchets, and implements (signs of tie existence of man), bones of ele- plants, rhinoceroses, and hippopot- ami, and also glacial drifts and Nor- folk boulders. At the present day the average mean temperature of London is 50 degrees Fahrenheit, whereas the geo lozy of the Thames Valley shows wus that it has fluctuated in times gone by from 70 degrees. to 40 degrees Fah- ranheit, or 30° degrees from one to the other, ; The reason for this astonishing state of things is to be found in what is called the procession of the equinoxes. This is that peculiarity in the move. ment of our globe whereby every part 0; the earth's swiace is subject io slow hut comtinaoas alteration of po s tion in relation to the ht {the san, owing to the attracting of the sun and the moon upon the earth's protuberance at the Bquator. Theos etically speaking, Lhe line of the. Equator is supoased to mark the line of the greatest heat, th. effect of the selar rays heing greatst v.! oe But, as a matter of fact, the lines of heat are slowly, but steadily chang- ing (entirely outside of all such con- sidersition as altitude, geographical position, vea proximity, winds, ote.) Lecause the earth's pole does not move perpendicalarly to its path around the san, but tilted at an angle which de- creases and increases during certain fixed periods, In other words, climate, or differ- ences between hot and cold weather, depends primarily on the slope of the sun's rays to the earth, which it it sell slopes at an angle to the line of its path around the sun. This steady revolution of certain parts of the earth from hot to cold and from cold to hot used to be eon: | sidered accomplished once every 26, MW) years, but recent researches show the complete change takes 21, we may estimate that it will take London another 4,000 to 5,000 years to reach the climate of Egypt, to which it is slowly approaching. I have no doubt that similar clima: tic cha have taken place in Ameri ca and in other countries. I under- stand that New England winters, for example, are in go wise aé severe as they = were a couple of decades ago. {There is less snow and a marked high {er temperature in the winter. In support of this theory, it is eur ious to note the mean ave tem- perature of London has heen slowly rising the past century, so that Lon- don of the present day is over one and a degrees Fahrenheit warmer than it was an hundred. years ago. Severe cold is betoming a thing of 'the past. Snow is' now * & .compara- tive rarity. The so-called old-fashion- ed wintets ' with snowed-up stage coaches, ' the Thames frozen' over, an ox roasted 'whole, and' skaters on all the ponds, are only to be seen on the Christmas dards. of course, for a certain of increased heat through a population, with its concomit- ant increase wi fires and heating ap- pliances, such as electridity, we may safely say that the London a much less than one degree : camtiey, which will. little they fall on the earth perpendiaularly.! i Mahood 's SOLOMON f ES HANFORD WAMES R ' 7 | KEENE ing coel and iron stock, January 1%h Mr. Keene, who appeared in response to a subpoena, obtained by the ceiver of Fiskej& (o., was sworn a witness, but (gave no testimony At the request of his counsel his ap- pearance as a witness was deferred.

The Complexion Faithfully Mirrors Its Purity or Impurity Massage, cosmetics and the like sometimes improve a good complexion, and occasionally mitigate the badness of a bad one. But there is only one way to get that clear, satin skin, with the rosy tint of health glowing through, and that is by keeping the blood pure. is Impure blood will shew itself. It makes the skin "muddy" or sallow, with pimples, blackheads or beils breaking out. It takes away the clearness from the eye, coats the tongue, makes the breath bad. It saps the energies and brings on headaches. It is fatal to good health or to the highest happiness or usefulness. Purifying the blood is simply a question of keeping the four greal eliminating organs--bowels, kidneys, the res of the skin and the lungs--in good working order. hese organs should throw off all the worn-out tissue and other impurities which the blood is continually gthering up throughout the body, and all the waste matter from the food. ih The failure of any or all of them to perform these functions should be remedied at once, and it can be, quickly and certainly, by the use of Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills. One of 'the ingredients of these splendid Pills open up the pores of the skin, another regulates the bowels, a third gives ease and strength to the kidneys and a fourth clears the mucus membrane of the lungs so that the gasegi¥ impurities in the blood can pass {reely through fnto the air. hus whatever may be the cause of the impure blood, Dr. Merse's Indian Root Pills remove it, and soon the veins are filled with pure, red, life-giving fluid. Then, and only then, will you have a clear eye, a clean tongue, a sweet breath and a perfect complexion. Mr. Richard Wilson, of Middlesex Co., Ont. writes; 'For some time I have been in a low and depressed condition. My appetite left me and 1 soon to suffer from indigestion. Quite a number of small sores and blotches formed all over my skin. I tried medicine for the and used many kinds of ointment, but without satisfactory results. What was wanted was a thorough cleansing of the blood. At last Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills were brought to my notice, and they are one of the most wonderful medicine I have ever known. My blood was purified in a very short time, sores healed up, my indigestion vanished. "They always have a place my home and are looked upon as the family remedy."
