New York Engineer Proposes to
Alter Solar Inclination
of Earth.
WOULD END ICEBERG MENACE
Total Cost or Accomplishment
Ricker Estimates at
$190,000,000.
t New York. September 2?_Carroll
Livingston Riker. a New York engineer,
proposes in a, ?ma.ll book issued ye*,
terday to change the climate of lh<s
whole Atlantic coast of North America,
and to alter even t.ie soUr inclination
or the earth. His plan is to send las
great best-bearing Gulf Stream, so
chilled, into the very heart of ti.c
Arctic. The warm current, he main?
tains, would melt the frozen Polar
seas, and by this substitution of w?t-r
for lee he believes the earth woi.Jd
swing sround a bit on its polar a*i?
and present to tbs more direct rays of
the aun the regions that are now un?
inhabitable for most ot the numan:
race.
Not only that, but he would at the
aame time, he declare*, open the ice-'
bound harbors sf Eastern Canada tor
s whole year's shipping, do away with!
the fogs of the Labrador and New?
foundland cosats ana on the Northern
Atlantic, and anally put an end to the,
great wandering Iceberg on the,
steamship tracks that mad* the Titanic
disaster possible. The total cost of
thta work he estlmstes at tl?0.00?,00o.'
a sum far below the cost of tbs Pana?
ma Canal, and the accomplishment of
the work. h? declares, will be much!
simpler.
Mr. Rtker has carried out several
notable engineering feats. He built
the erst refrigerating warehouse in the
world, and Installed the first cold
storsge system In s trans-Atlantic ship.
He designed and built the first power-,
ful pumping dredge used by the United'
States government to fill the Potomac1
flats, nesr Washington. D C. at a]
cost of about half the government's!
first estlmsta
Mr. Biker's ?Basales Pisa.
Tbla amasing proposal ia made by
Mr. Rlker in all sc.iousness and sin?
cerity. He believea It can be done, and
In thla way:
A jetty would bo built extending
eastward from Newfoundland across
the water of the Great Banks, and east:
thereof, until s wall is formed which j
win intercept the cold Northern Lab-!
rador current, turn it eastward untill;
1t meets the north-flowing Gulf Stream
In deep wster. The greater part of the
cold stream would psss under the warm
current, he declares, and the Ice-laden
upper part be deflected north again.
To carry out the plsn. the Jetty, says
Mr Riksr. would need to be 200 miles
long, but s Jetty thirty miles long,
projecting out from Cape Race, would
modify the climate from Newfoundland
to Cape Hstteras. and do away withj
the fogs the extreme cold or the win-.'
ter. and bring an earlier spring to the'
northern parts of this continent.
In this plan it has already appeared!
that Mr. Elkers one aim Is to stop the;
cold north current from nceetlng and;
neutralizing the warm Gulf Stream. '
The two great ocean rivers meet nowj
off the cosat of Newfoundland- The'
warm river loses its heat, while the
cold river sweeps on south and even'
enters the Gulf of Mexico before it!
gives up all its cola- The Gulf Stream
divides, snd part of it. greatly weak-;
ened. flows north along the west coast
of Greenland.
"The Immediate effect of the clash."
says Mr- Riker. "is the production of
almost continuous fogs on the Banks
snd the carrying of icebergs south into
the path of trans-Atlantic steamers If
the Gulf Stream ran unbroken s few
hundred miles further north It would
melt the bergs where tbey originate
and before calving. The offspring of
these two great currents sre the mon?
grels into which the Gulf Stream soon
?divides, tbey becoming aimless wan?
derers, without force or effect, com?
pared with its previous Irresistible, ma?
jestic swsap. snd thus enfeebled wholly
unable to cope with the head-on south?
easterly opposing flow of the Europeae
Polar current sfter Its projection to'
the surface as It surmounts the great!
mid-Atlantic backbone. 4*0 miles south;
of the Fsrraday Hills."
Tjea the engineer ask* this ques?
tion:
"How sbsll the Integrity of these
two greet streams be preserved so thst
, tbey shall be of th - utmost service
to mankind?" And bis snswer is. "By
inducing the Labrador current to make
a sand bar of Its own deposits,
.eventually raisins It to the surface
of the ocean as s neck of lend to

"It seems that the proposed Jetty
would be but the re-establishing of s
part of the original and very recent \
coastal conformation of tjat part of
Newfoundland, as appears to be lndi- J
cated by the Virgin and East Rocks1
and other Impediments almost or upon

Excellent material and natural facili?

thee add materially to the heat of the
S^mmmmTS aTfftSh m
Scotland, for a lona; season, with no
corresponding long night."
Mr. Riker has even worked out the
method be would use in building the
Jetty. He would have a backbone of
rock thirty feet high above the bed
of the ocean as narrow as can be laid
Aga'nst this the Labrador
current would deposit its sand which
it carries in great quantity from the
north.
A wall thirty feet high would cause
an incline of sand a mile long on the
north and half a mile on the south,
and within a few months the deposit
would cover the walL When this fill?
ing was complete a second backbone
would be laid, and so op till the wall;
was high enough to deflect the north-!
ern current and to get the deposits of j
sand from both streams. He would
require a fleet of about twenty hopper
barges which would carry the rock
from the high land on the coast to the
position in the sea. This work, he de?
clares would not be difficult, duo to
the position of the source of supply of
the rock, and gravity would take care
of much of the loading. This la the
estimate of the coat:
"Nine thousand elx hundred cargoes
of 20,900 cubic yards each, aggregating
192.0000,000 cubic yards: allowing ?.
000.000 cubic yards for harbor con-|
struction, it would aggregate 200.000.
000 cubic yards.
"The cost of delivering the rock into
cars should not exceed 50 cents per
cubic yard, for delivery into barge 10.
cents per cnblc yard, and for trans?
portation by barge. 13 cents per cubic
yard?a total of 75 cents per cubic'
yard, which should include Interest on
j investment, depreciation On plant, and'
: executive charge, atotal of $150.000.- i

"The question of the economic ad?

questions, are too academic In their
nature to require serious attention."
it was aaid, "at this time. Any man
with ordinary intelligence knows these
facts and their value.
"In the cotton States of the south the
average haul of cotton fom the farm

the average cost is $t> cents per bale.

Everything that money, men and manage?
ment could accomplish has been combined to
nuke the 1912 State Fair greater and better in
*very way
Now, Let Everybody Rally
to the Fair
There are thousands of things that will interest, educate,
instruct and amuse the people. Every man, woman and
child will find something that will make special appeal
Never have the Free Shows been of such high order or the
Lue Stock, Agricultural and Industrial Exhibits more artis?
tic and interesting. The Fair of 1912 will show the
wonderful advance in every line of endeavor by the people
of Richmond and Virginia.
COME TO YOUR FAIR
A new steel and concrete bridge has been built, roads
repaired, grounds thoroughly cleaned and beautified, sani?
tary arrangements perfected, and many improvements
installed for the comfort of patrons.
WRITE TO YOUR FRIENDS

of Judge Watson are quoted as saying
they have a line of charges of their

There is s difference of opinion as to
the committee's right to have a recount
