Cities Change Climate by Yariont Methods Say Scientist. Chicago, July 12. European men of title are turning greedy eyes on the fortunes of Chtcago women and are anxious to sell their titles for a Chi cago wife with plenty of Chicago dol lars. -This Is the story told by Mrs. Susannah Ella Wood Dean, rich and handsome widow of John E. Dean, upon her re' urn home from a tour of Europe. Mrs. Dean tells a thrilling story of how she ran the gauntlet to escape the Impecunious peers. "No sooner had I registered at a hotel In London," related Mrs. Dean, "than I received a letter from an Englishman who offered to Introduce me to any number of peers, society men, or mil itary officers, who wanted to marry a wealthy American. For the fun of it I wrote him that I was Interested and BROKERS DHL WITH HEIRESS and everything else." To show how the tltle-marrlage ' broker operates Mrs. Dean read part of a letter from this man, which said: "If 1 want to get hold of a peer or a titled man I always get them through the secre tary of one of the small clubs, and am introduced to the peer by my right name which Is not the one I sign to thia letter. In the same way' I get hold of a eociuty man or a military officer. Our clients desiring private negotiations have to pay 50 guineas ($250), half down and half on engage ment.' Mrs. Dean smilingly complet ed her story by declaring that she still had her 1250. , Cities Change Climate. . The big cities are changing the cli mate and are greatly responsible for the recent "extraordinary hot wave, according to Reginald Phelam Bolton president of the American Society of Beating and Ventilating Engineer. The assertion as made at the conven tion of the engineers at the Hotel La Salle. He used New York to explain his position. "Zero temperatupe has been infrequent for many years In that city," said Mr. Bolton, "and un known slnoe 1904; At the same time since 1903 and the number of cloud less days have Increased from 96 to 114. There Is 90,000,000 ton8 of coal or its equivalent in other fuels con sumed In this city each year. Adding this to the animal heat from 5.000,000 persons, equivalent to about 438,000 tons of coal annually, and the vari ous other sourceg of heat, Including heated gases, radiation and friction of various sorts, and the result Is suffi cient to heat the air for a distance of a mile beyond "the city limits to a point several degrees above its nor mal temperature. The dally volume of these gases rising from (the city Is more than 175,000,000 cubic . heat, heated to 350 degrees. These ascend ing waves of heat warm the upper lay ers of the air and Increase their ca pacity to absorb water." One result of thn hot wave In Chicago has been to accelerate the movement to have the municipality tak over every foot of Its 23 miles of lake front and dot It frequently with municipal bathing beaches.

They will be almost the only aviators of note that will not compete for the $100,000 prizes. The negotia tions with them ended by the Wright brothers refusing to participate. Ac companying this refusal was a letter from their manager, F. H. Russell, notifying the promoters that . they would he held responsible for the ex hibition of any aeroplane which the Wrights consider an Infringement up on their patents. This action will not prevent the exhibition from being the greatest ever held in this country. The preliminary . work is going ; on rapidly and within two weeks the task of erecting the seats for 50,000 per sons will be under headway. This meeting, with the great international pageant to be held at the same place In August, probably will fix the status of Grant park as a permanent public exposition field for Chicago. Already a movement hag been started by the school board to have a permanent stadium for school children construct ed In the park. Grant Park lies along the lake shore Just off the business and transportation center of the city. It a made by reclaiming the land from the lake. :' Refuses Mark of Honor.
