WHO WILL BE
THE LUCKY 40?
Journals Readers Will Get Free Trips All Elk
penses Paid the Worlds Fair at St. Louis Next Summer
Begins Next Monday W by Not Get Into the
Game?

One dollar paid will count 100
votes.
Two dollars paid will count 200
votes. But for one years subscrtp-
ton paid in advance special credit
of 1000 votes will be allowed.
There is still another way to get
votes. In case it should not be con-
venient to get subscription payments
in advance, subscribers may contract
for r h u r a for any period of
time and will receive in votes as fol-
lows:
One years subscription will count
800 votes.
Six months subscription will count
1926 votes.
Three months subscription will
count fifty votes.
One months subscription will count
fifteen votes.
The urnal will give forty of
it's subscribers the finest trip they ever
made paying all expenses. A visit
to st. Louis will be as good as trip
round the world. Journal ex-
times they afford and the Lucky
Forty will travel on a special
Journal train to ST. Louis and return,
with meals on dining cars and the
best accommodations money can pro-
cure.

erably; I was the first person, I be-
| lieve. to point out these differences.
| All ions are in constant motion, but
the negative ions, which are the
smaller, move much faster. 1t is the
negative ions also that attract
moisture. ..........-.. .. ~
$50, in case the weather is set fair
the two classes of ions separate be-
cause of their relative activity. The
negative ions, being more active, reach
the earth first and charge it mega
lively, the wind keeps in motion the
slower, larger, positive ions, and pre-
vents most of them from reaching the
earth. This Is one reason why the
earth, as we know, is negative and the
upper atmosphere positive.
| And when moisture abounds in the
air, the negative ions attract that
moisture; drops of water, gradually
forming, drop to the earth as rain,

likely that the electric currents, NOV
ing from the positive ions down to the
negative ions, create lightning and
electric storms. ..N .....-.,.-s ..a
ITO avoid misunderstanding, I
should say, too, that rain is caused by
dust as we'll as by ionized mole
cules, that is, moisture in the air col
lects about dust particles and thus
forms drops. 1t is not true, as many
ina CINE, that the mere presence OF
much moisture in the air makes rain
drops. Unless dust or ioniZation as
sists, atmospheric moisture, however
abundant, would seldom be deposited
"The discovery of radtum helps us
thus much; it accounts for a flow OF
radio activity from the earth. We're
not obliged to assume that the ioniz-
ing rays all come from the sun as
projected electrOns.' ,..-
Now as to the practical applica-
tons: Whenever We master the de.
tails of these laws, whenever we shall
! be able to observe not only the tenn.
perature and the barometric pressure
but also the electrical condition anc
the relative moisture Of the upper anc
the lower amospheres over a large
area, then we shall be in a position tt
publish accurate weather statements
instead of uncertain weather predic
: TONS Temperature and pressure will
regulate, in the main, the temperature
foretold; electricity and moisture vii
be the principal bases of statements
: concerning fog, snow and rain.'
