One afternoon a short time ago a thunderstorm with quite a heavy down ^ pour of rain occurred over a portion of a certain county in the West. The shower had not been forecast by the Weather Bureau, and a few days later a letter of complaint was received, the the writer stating that the rain had ruined a considerable acreage of alfalfa that had been allowed to lie out to cure, as the weather forecast had said nothing about showers. V' Be that as it may, the science and art of weather forecasting never have been and never will be reduced to the basis of absolute certainty. The very operation of the natural laws of the universe preclude this, and with no type of weather is this impossibility of exact forecasting more in evidence than in the case of thunderstorms. The forecasting of general thunderstorms over large areas is not so difrii-iiH -j il-ioyn (rnnornllu rw?/?in* urVion after a heated period, a largo area of high barometric pressure with a pronounced fall in temperature follows the heated period, bringing with it thunderstorms and later a cool and j clear period of at least several days' duration. But there are other thunderstorms, occurring during periods of abnormal neat, tnat are caused ny excessive air convection?that is, by the upward j, movement of air masses that are unM duly heated by contact with the warm m earth. These are carried upward to such an elevation that they become f cooled by expansion to an extent that " lowers the temperature of the warm air masses below the temperature of condensation, and rain therefore occurs. These "heat" thunderstorms are frequently very local in character, as certain portions of the earth's surface becomes hotter than others, and consequently?! "heat" thunderstorm often occurs in one locality, whereas only a few miles, or even a shorter distance, away there will be none at all. It is not an infrequent occurrence to have a severe thunderstorm over one portion of a large city while over other portions there will be none. It should also be added that these "heat" thun+ <Ierstorms .are usually followed by a ' quick return to the same heated conditions that preceded them, indicating a merely temporary condition of the atmosphere without prospect of permanent relief until the appearance of such cool, high-presure area as has been mentioned above. ^ The Quinine That Does Not Affect The Head Because of ita tonic and laxative effect, LAXATIVE BKOMO QUININE is better than ordinary 3uininc and 'does not cause nervousness nor nging in head.

Borers may have been Riving you trouble. You were advised to paint and mound the trees early in summer. T ie mounds should be pulled down on O 'tober 15 and the trees examined for hirers. The young borers are just entering the trees the middle of October and will he found going in just above the level of the hill of dirt you pull down. If you find any of them, scrape the bark olT with a knife and the little borers will be destroyed. The work at this season consists largely in cleaning up and preparing for winter and spring.

I BHHBH HHI HflHHHI HL i ? ?. . TALK OF FEACE NOW IN FRONT The end of last week in the history of the European war, once more found peace talk in the air. Cardinal C?ibbons has conveyed to President Wilson a suggestion from Pope Benedict that the time is ripe for proposing discussions having as their purpose the cassation of hostilities. The cardinal admitted that he told the president the United States was placed in an advantageous position to be of service in bringing an end. to the conflict, owing to the apparent settlement of the submarine issue between the United States and Germany which had greatly aided the cause of peace. Germany is desirous of having the claims for compensation arising out of the sinking of the Lusitania and Arabic submitted to the Hague for adjudication. Instructions issued to Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador at Washington, according to a Berlin dispatch, authorize him to make this offer to the American government. At the same time immunity from attack without warning to passenger steamers is provided for. n OPPENHEIM is without question one of the most widely read novelists of the day.

E-70 H THREE BRITISH CAPTURED GERMAN SUBMARINES To The Number of Fifty in .. the Last Sixty Days ARABIC'S DESTROYER AMONG THE NUMBER One of Largest and Newest Among German Under Sea Craft. An officer of the White Star liner Adriatic, which arrived from Liver pool last week, declared that the German submarine which sunk the Arabic had been caught in a steel net and the U-boat's double crew were now prisoners in England. Fie added that within the past 00 days the British have captured no less than 50 German submarines. After stating positively that the submarine which torpedoed the Arabic had been captured, the oflicer said that he could not disclose the place of capture nor detail the circumstances. He said, however, that the U-boat was of the latest and largest type in the German navy. Six Arabic .survivors arrived on the Adriatic. There were Mrs. Margaret Atkinson and her son, Arthur Atkinson; Mrs. F. C. Allison. W. Bathurst, Miss M. Christopherson and John Doll erty. Doherty said he was in his stateroom when he heard a shout and started for the deck. Before he had gone far, he said, he was shot many feet into the air and landed in the water. Passengers said that from the time the Adriatic sailed at 2 o'clock, August 25, until 9 o'clock the next morning she was convoyed by three British i_-i destroyers. o FOREIGN CREDITS ARE PARALYZED Practical Suspension of Financial Exchange Markets at ' .?!)' . New York. New York.?English money took another phenomenal drop. . The pound sterling sold down, within the first hour on dealings, to $4.50, a break of 5 1-4 cents overnight and a downward plunge of 11 cents within two days. The drop caused the gravest anxiety as to its possible effect on American exports. Continued denreeint.ion. it was thought, would affect tens of thousands of American workmen possibly by closing down factories supplying (Ireat Britain with commodities. This effect was in perspective, in the minds of some of the leading bankers of New York. Before that could happen, it was explained, there would have to he cancellation or curtailment of foreign orders to American producers, at present totalling hlliulvo<le ni" m i 11 w\nc t\f .Inlln.. IM4HIVHD v/1 Iiwuaio, auu groat diminution in the value of orders. (loth these contingencies were, expected, it was said, if sterling should go much lower. The immediate effect of the great drop was the virtual paralysis of the foreign exchange markets. A torrent of bills poured into the offices of international bankers here, but there were few actual transactions Quotations varied by wide margins. At the moment when one house quoted 4.60 as the rate on sterling, another was quoting 4.51 1-4. Fear that sterling would go much lower checked trade and held the big factors in New York's international money market apprehensive. William H. Taft, principal speaker at the celebration of Japanese day at the Panama-Pacific exposition, declared the United States and Japan must maintain the strongest kind of friendship. No further details concerning the sinking of the Arabic have been published in Berlin, and the Berlin papers refrain from comment upon the situation.
