QUICK CHANGE OF CLIMATE Trav?l*r In Arisona Orti VaHatlaii With Comparatively Little Physical Kxertion. In climbing from the Palutfd desert, 1 which Ilea at the foot of San KrancUco j mountain In Arizona. to the summit of I that peak, perhaps 2f> mil** away, you experience a? much change of climate i and scenery and pass through as many : different zones of life an you would in traveling from southern Honors to the I region ef Hudson bay. Thla Is doe to the fact that aKltod* I hag the same effect on ellmate aa lati tude. If you climb 000 feet upward you have achieved the same change of climate an though you had gone 2 degree# north. The reault is that a mountain top In Arizona 12,000 feet high above ttea level haa a climate like that at the edge of the arctic cir cle. Moreover, many of the same plant* and aome of the aame blrda that live In the aubarctlc regions are found on top of flan Francisco peak ? relii*s of that distant age when most of North America was. covered by aa Ice cap and had nn arctic climate. The desert at the foot of Kan Fran cisco peak Is one of the deadest and hottest places on earth. Great arena of It are without a sprig of vegetation. There are vast beds of brightly col ored pebbles gleaming In the sun, great barren aand flats, ranges of hills that are stained bright red aud blue with minerals, but ahow not a touch of living green. The heat Is terrific and incessant. . ? ^ leaving this region In the morning, by noon you find yourself on the moun tain slope In an arid region supporting a low scrubby forest Of juniper and nut pine. Two hours later you have entered an entirely different zone, and are riding through a beautiful open forest of yellow pine, with trees a hun dred fcfet high. This gives way to a forest of fir, which Is dense and damp, with heavy underbrush along the streams. Here birds rind squirrels abound, and yon mfty-giimpse deer 'ahd* bear. As you continue upward the timber again dwindles . In (' size. You pasfe through a region of scrubby spruce, such as grows along the Yukon In Alaska, and finally emerge on the tree less crest above tlmberllne, where the climate is almost arctic and the snow -ttes-dee^-ln- Jtme?? ? ? ^ ? ? - Find Natural Purple Dye. A shellfish exists on the Pacific coast of Co9ta Rica from which a spe clally fine purple color Is obtained and used for dyeing silk thread. A report received by the department of com merce states the discovery of this nat ural dye came to light through an In quiry from Guatemala, where some silk thread imported from Costa Rica com mands a good price. The dyers, who apparently are lim ited to a few old persons, take the thread to the shore, where the shell fish abound, and dye It there. The per son who ^Icks up a shell blows bis breath upon It, whereupon a few drops of greenish liquid ooze out. This liquor Is .collected in an open clam shell or other small container. After a* sufficient quantity has been collect ed the thread Is passed through it. The thread soon afterward, on ex posure to the sunlight, assumes a beau tiful purple color, which is absolutely fast. In ancient days it is believed this dye was tailed "Tyrlan purple," and was even then so rare that It was r^ served for royalty. Capital Feels Paper Shortage. The paper shortage is making itself felt in the post office department, where the greateiH difficulty )s being experienced in getting the needed sup plies of stamped envelopes. Postal cards, also, are scarce. A few weeks ago there was*discov ered a large quantity of the old 3-cent stamped envelopes, for which there la now almost no demand. They are be ing sold now for 2 cents" apiece, plus the small charge for the envelope, , with a distinguishing cancellation mark over the stamp. More recently the post office department began to sell a quantity of postal cards of the vintage of about ten years ago. The department Is restamplng 400,000,000 2-cent postal cards Issued during th? war. No Rain Sticks for Marines. Did you ever see a United State* marine in uniform carrying an um brella? Pedestrians on Sands street, Brook lyn. caught a glimpse of a marine re cruit carrying a contraband "bumber shoot" during yesterday's rain storm. At the very outset of the recruit's Journey two older marines met him, took the umbrella away from him, broke It up before bis horrified gaze and gave him a severe lectnre on mil itary proprieties. There is no service regulation to prevent the carrying of umbrellas by uniformed men, but there Is an un written law of the marine corps which puts the taboo on the umbrella. Her Preference. A few years ago Merom college had a young Japanese student, who after the fashion of all Japanese students, was very polite. He always spoke of his teachers as the "Hon. Professor S.," etc. One day the music teacher's sister came to visit her, and in time met the young Japanese. They grew to be Mends, but he always spoke of her as the "Hon. Miss M.'s sister." One day the young visitor grew a bit peeved over the title. "Just for a change I would be glad if you would say 'II lee M.'s honorable sister,' " she retorted. "I would ?t least like to Me how it would sound.** N1HHOPV1MJC NBHH N?TWJ HuppruliiKii of lutrrori mm Told by Tbo YUxHcator .... |)r J. T.
