FORECASTING OF
THONDER STORMS
? Difficult Matter as They Are
Caused by Atmospheric
Changes.
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' Tic 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 difficult
-j il-ioyn (rnnornllu rw?/?in* ujVioii
I IVMIt, *?1I J wvv ?? *?^i. J
after a heated period, a large 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, mat aro 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 tho earth's surface
becomes hotter than others, and consequently
a "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+
<lerstorms .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.

I Chicago.?bankers passing through ^
Chicago on Sept. 1st, to attend the an- rj
nual convention of the American a
Bankers' Association at Seattle, Wash, ii
predicted that an "almost unbeliev- N
able prosperity" is rushing on the na- **
tion. t J
"When the bank reserves, which are
greater now than they have ever been
in the history of the country, are distributed
the nation will er.joy almost b<
unbelievable prosperity," said William al
A. Law, of Philadelphia, president of
the American Bankers' Association. u

"The volume of money on hand is so
great that it can not fine a neutral c,
outlet. The movement of the tremen- 01
dous crops, with the attendant finan- as
cial activity wi'' "-cill further increase T
the bank reserves." t
Mr. Law attributed the present
state of business to the upset condi- p]
tions prevailing in international trade p<
relations and to a wave of economy. tt

Improving the Orchard.
I If you already hnvp an orchard, why
! not begin to improve it now? A rover
crop sewn now and turned next spring
will help wonderfully. Twenty pounds
of crimson clover seed per acre, sown
and disced, will make a good cover,
provided the seed are inoculated.

. a good cover for the orchard. If these
are turned next spring at the first cultivation
they will add a lot of fertility
to the soil will also help to hold moisture.
There are a good many mummy
fruits hanging to the tree9. These are
full of spores and if left in the orchard
will cause more rotten fruit
another year. Now is a good time to
get these out of the way. Pull and
burn them.
Ilorers may have been giving 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
borers. The young borers are just
er.tering the trees the middle of October
and will be 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.
Thp work at this season consists
largely in cleaning up and preparing
for winter and spring. If done proprely,
the trees receive much benefit.

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 ano
Arabic submitted to the Hague for
adjudication. Instructions issued to
Count von Rernstorff, 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.

"The Prince of Sinners,"

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 officer 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 Arnbie .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.

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 depreciation. it
was thought, would affect tens of
thousands of American workmen possibly
by closing down factories supplying
(Jreat 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 be cancellation or curtailment
of foreign orders to American
producers, at present totalling'
