The observation OF the sun for sew.
efal days oil this ard last week has
been attributed by number OF per.
sons In widely scattered localities to
forest fires. AS q matter OF fact 1t has
been due to moisture In the atmos.
phere. caused by the flow OF the cooler
waters oil tho iivers and streams Into
atmosphere which have been heated
for many weeks, and the consistent
condemnation OF moisture In tho air.
which has been sufficient ~ produce
clouds and fogs, but not rainfall
IL is interesting to observe the Wide
distribution Of these fogs or smoky
atmosphere over tho country. Ihoy
have hidden tho sun In New Jersey
and Pennsylvania for several days.
On Tuesday logs were reported also
In as widely separated portions OF tho
country as Eanstun, S. D.; st. Louis,
Shreveport La, and Grand Haven,

shrouded in veil oil yellowlsh smoke
color. ana the appearance OF sm oke
has been so plain that Inany persons
have thought that they could smell 1t.
There have been many forest fires
East as well as West. and owing to the
peculiar condition OF tho atmosphere
from tie earth have bnen held down
close to tho earth's surface Instead OF
being dispersed, as would be tho case
undor different atmospheric cundi'
lions. The smoke OF the forest fires
would not have been noticeable at go

aren OF high pressure passing over the
country from West to East.
These fogs and smoke have beer
particularly noticeable along tho lied
tho Missouri, the Allegheny, the Sus
/ quehanna, Delaware and other rivers
us well 81 along the lakes The inllu
eEces Of the wave OF high pressure arc
thus shown TO have been increased by
tho condensation of moisture caused
by the colder waters of the high
