N*>!»le Prenties’ writing for the
At* I* 1 , on Ch.i mpion on the climatic
* ban; t*a in Kansas in reality em
brace* eastern Colorado. In speak
mg of the past he says:
W* 'twisted that Kansas was not
<1 thy country; we whooped and
j crow •’ over every shower that fell;
i ***»» i ally showers in spring and
j siimin got to be an established
' thin . vitd somebody started a post
• ‘the* it in a far western country,
ib»th 'as <iry as a powder horn,
■'a id i led it “Kain Belt.” We did
{not ' li/e, however, that a climatic
j clang > does not saw off in six
\ months, but continues on through
out tli; year. More min in spring
J and fumnier means more snow in
winter, and more snow means more
j eold, more blizzard, more freeze,
more wintry and arctic.
With this change of winter cli
' mate there cannot fail to he other
changes. Volumes have been writ
ten to show that man is what his
climate makes him The reasoning
is that the climate regulates or di*-
| cov.ru jes exertion. In a cold cli
mate hut not too cold, man must
j “ru»tle” for his food and clothes.
Tlw accession of the new kind of
white- will, then, increase rather
i than diminish energy. That old lie
i about cattle keeping fat while run
ning at large all winter, will he told
i and believed tio more, and the Kan
sas man will build barns and sheds
! for his stock. With the approach
of a temperature that would freeze
.'the toetli ..ff a hav rakr, the Kansas
farmer will cease to leav«* his agri
cultural implements out all winter;
, he will also‘‘hank” his house, erect
‘ storm doers and put in double win
dows. and in summer weather pre
pa ■ for frost.
T veteran soldiers tin* Are of nr
till' -y, whether of exploding shrap
nel or rattling canister, had no such
terrors as the fusillade of a steady
i line of infantry. There is scarce! v

Or. V. C. Vaughan in • •xami
natiou of a specimen of the ice
cream which recently poisoned a
number of persona at New ton, Mich ,
haw made the important discovery
that tyrotoxicon, the motive element
in poisonous cheese, which he dis
covered some time since, was also
present in the ice cream, and was
the cause of the sickness. This
proves that tyrotoxicon is due to the
decomposition of milk, and may be
developed in any milk which is kept
in an impure atmosphere or unclean
vessels. The germ seems to multi
ply very rapidly, and a small amount
of tainted milk will poison the
whole. Dr. Vaughan** theory is that
tyrotoxicon has much to do with
cholera infantum, the symptoms of
which are similar to the symptoms
of cheese poisoning.
We understand that a- survey is
being made for a branch of the Bob
Greek ditch, which will be taken
out of the main ditch, whe built, at,
a point three or four miles north of
the mouth of the Api&hapi, k • ping
