Col. George Truesdell, owner of the

supports in the centre of the barn at
all, the joists being in the walls en-
tirely. 1t is not to be a balloon-shap-

housing the imported sheep now on

Prof. G. E, Myers, of the Government
weather department, says the great
quantities of rain that have fallen in
this country are due solely to the
eruption of Mt. Pelee and other in
terror volcanic disturbances. He SAYS
that the summer season in this sec
tion will be prolonged until late in
the fall. He also predicts mild win
ter. His theory is that the volume of
water which has fallen during May,
June and July cannot be evaporated
from the earth during the summer
months and that the water being in
the earth will hold the summer heat
far into the winter. Truly there is
balm for every i'll.
