London's five successive days of fog are known to have been due to an even distri- button all over the country of rather nigh air-pressure. This gives still at mosphere, and, with moderately cold weather fog forms round the particles of dust and smoke, and settles with in- conceivable slowness. But when We ask what caused that high and evenly distributed pressure no answer Is forth coming The forces that affect baro- metric pressure are mostly fixed oi change slowly, such as the seasons. the

In India the sunspot theory seems to hold. During the last five years 1t has suffered terrible famines. caused by drouth, and those years have been q period of fewer and fewer sunspots. But for a succession of years now we may anticipate improved rainfall. The only sure remedy for periodic drouths is irri- gation. and the government of India has appointed a commission to consider this subject, their inquiries being con- ducted on the broad basis ''thatsthe crite- rion of a new irrigation project is not whether it will prove directly rHmunera- tive. but whether the net finanetal bur den 1t will impose on the Statet will be too high a price to pay for protection against famine Irrigation in India pays.

Wilhelmina Conrath filed suit in the
Common Pleas Court Tuesday against
Peter Conrath. The plaintiff states that
she gave the defendant two notes each
for $iOc, one for one year and the 9TH
er for ten years. The first note was
given for certain chattel property and
the other for deed of fifteen acres OF

disposed of the chattel property and
kept the proceeds for. himself and that
he borrowed $25 on one of the notes
by depositing it with B. B. Putnam.
Inc plaintiff further states that the de-
fendant now threatens to sell the notes
at their full value and asks that the
Court enjoin him from doing SO.
