"Lons-Ranse'' Forecasting subJee
ofSa Merry Battle

| Willis L. Moore, Chief of the Wealth
er Bureau, and w T Foster, who read
lily consents to class himself amonS

whom Mr.. Moore severely disregards,
are wasing IN animated controversy
as to the value OF the methods Mr.
Foster follows to agriculturists and
the community generally. The Wealth
er Bureau Chief has declared long
range forecasters "are thriving on the
Ecredulity of the ignorant" Mt. Fos-
ter says Mr.. Moore is jealous of h:in.
The fight has been on TO- some
time. but it has been brought to the
attention of the public onl%- recently
in an interview with Mr.. Moore. In
the interview no one of the oDject:' of
Mr. Moore's criticism was mentioned
by name, but there was sufficient evil
dence to Indicate. it is said that Mr..
Eos ter. was in his mind when ne spoke.
Mr.. Moore said that it was inpos-
sible for anyone, by any respectable or
scientific method of forecastinS. 10
predict what the weather would be Tor
more than two or three days in ad-
vance.
Now Mr.. Foster has taken up inc
sage Of battle. He declares his meth
cd is The result of s25 years Of study
and observation, ana that SO confident
is he Of its accuracy he is willing -
submit il TO Government test. He %p-t
proves the bill introduced in Congress
by Senator Bard, OF California, which
authorizes the offer of a reward for
the discovery of any approved sys
TEN which will enable the forecas;cT
TO look farther into the future than IS
possible under existing conditions.
Mr. Foster gives some rather acrid
testimony as to interviews he has had
with Mr. Moore, declaring among 9th
er things, that the Chief Of the Wealth
er Bureau has refused him the right
to inspect the public records, whici'
he adds is denied to no other reputa-
bic person. He declines to say what
his system is until he can see sorac
reasonable prospect of reward.

First Done Mt Fontcnoy.

The Black Watch distinguished itself
at Fontenoy by mode Of warfare
which at the time surprised both friend
and foe but has since become a recog-
nized maneuver. Unable to get at the
French infantry, who We're strongly
intrenched, and being therefore In
capable Of using their formidable
broadswords with effect, the Forty-sec-
ond highlanders, after marching to
the ground to the music Of their own
bagpipes to take up position, fred q
volley and then ''clapped down at full
length on the ground to let the enc
my's shots pass over them" The only
exception to this prone attitude was
the cQlenel, Sir Robert AIonro, who was
so EatsHlid unwieldy that, had he lain
down, SitFwould have required a lever
to 1iftshin again.

On the island of Malta house rent IS
ridiculously cheap. Anywhere outside
of valetta an excellent seven roomed
house can be had for SIS to $50 n year,
while rates and taxes are unknown
The houses are built entirely OF the
cream colored stone of which the is
land is composed and which is SO SOFT
that it can be cut with saw into
blocks or slabs of any desired size or
shape. So while the Maltese builder IS
digging up his foundation he IS at the
same time getting out the material tor

Her Early Resolutions.

This story is told by an Englishman
who lived a century ago: He was din
ing cut in London and sat by lady
whom he did not know. Their CONVEX
sation turned upon early resolutions
and bow very seldom they We're kept.
and the lady said: Well. when was a
girl I made three reSolutions-frSt, l
determined that 1 would never marry
a soldier; secondly. that l would never
marry an 1rishman, and. thirdly that
would not be long engaged. And all
those three resolutions broke Whom
do you think did marry? The Duke
of Wellington! He was soldier and
an freshman, and I was engaged to
him for twelve years" This was Lady
Katherine Pakenha1n. It was an un-
happy marriage. and the couple mostly
lived apart.

Where white Ants Are U.eeuI.

A white ants nest is about the last
thing in the world one would expect to
be of practical service to mankind. yet
In Western Australia white ants and
their nests are put to 4 variety of eco
nomic uses.
In the first place, the aborigines
sometimes e 1t the ants. and there are
even q few White residents who have
tasted them for the sake Of experience
and say they are not bad. But it is
not q habit With the. aborignes to eat
the insects. They prefer to devour the
mold out OF which the ants build their
nest. r-lr l5;l' ~. J.,
Capital ovens are frequently impro-
vised by the Australian prosp eetor Sout
of these white ant mounds. They make
solid floor, almost like cement, for
the settlers hutS, and III the township
Of Derby, in Western Austria lia- they
have been turned to profitable use by
being rolled in as u top layer on the
public roads.

NEW IDEA OF EAFTHrs HEaTT
May Be Furnished by Radium and Not
by Internal Fires, Suggests
English Scientist.

Prof. Ernest Rutherford, a young but
already distinguished pupil of Prof. J. J..
Thomas, of Cambridge, who is. an au-
thority on radium, threw out the sug
gestion in a lecture before the Royal
Institute of London one night recently
that the heat Of the earth is due to
radium and not to internal fires.
He said that Lord Kelvin had calcu-
lated that, assuming the earth to have
been originally a molten mass, it would
take 10O, 000, 900 years to cool down to It's
present temperature 'g3ut,," added the
lecturer. Lord Kelvin showed a pro-
phetie insight when he added, provided
a new source of heat is not discovered"
Prof. Rutherford thought radium had
been proved to be in sufficient quanti-
ties in the earth to supply new theory
as to the source of the earth's heat so
that we should not require the millions
Of years which the geologists and biolo-
gists had reasoned out as the time TAX
en- in the cooling process before life on
the globe was possible.
The London Daily Mail points out
that the calculation leads to the conclu-
sion that the earth may have been hab-
table for many millions of years and
that it further upsets all accepted theo-
ries as to the duration of life, since ra-
dunn exhausts itself only In $4,000, 900
years

charge of receiving stolen OF embez-
Zled funds. Boatner is now a free

the agent in Fordsville, said he was
held up and robbed of the package.
Boatner and he were indicted and tried
on the charge of conspiracy to defraud.
The commonwealth failed to convict
them. Schlitzbaum was then tried on
the charge of embeZzling money from
the Illinois Central railroad. He was
found guilty and sent to the peniten-
