mental area. During the summer
months, on the contrary, the onshore
winds are not necessarily rain winds,
for the reason that they are cooler
than the land surfaces and their ca
pacity for moisture is increased by
the warmth that is communicated 20
them by the land surface. In such
cases thunderstorms commonly occur
when the ocean winds are intercepted
by mountain ranges or peaks. If,
however, the easterly winds of sum-
mer increase in force. with falling
barometer, the approach OF an area
of low barometric pressure from the
west is indicated ana rain will follow
within a day or two.
From the Mississippi and Missouri
valleys to the Atlantic coast, and on
the Pacific coast, rain generally be-
gins on a falling barometer, while in
the Rocky Mountains and Plateau
districts, and on the eastern Rocky
Mountain slope, precipitation seldom
begins until the barometer begins to
rise, after a fall. This is true as re-
CARDS the eastern half of the county,
however, only during the colder
months, and in the presence of gem
eral storms that may occur at other
seasons. In the warmer months sum-
mer showers and thunderstorms u.s.
ually come about the time the bar
ometer turns from falling to rising.
The fact that during practically the
entire year precipitation on the great
western plains and in the mountain
regions that lie between the plains
and the Pacific coast districts does
not begin until the centre of the
low barometer area has passed to
the eastward or southwark and the
wind has shifted to the north quad
rants, with rising barometer, is an
important one to note.
In meteorological work, as con-
Quoted by the United States Weather
Bureau, observations, simultaneously
taken, are collected by telegraph from
great areas, and it is possible by this
means to calculate for several days
in advance the local signs that will be
produced by the general conditions
that are presented. In other words,
modern meteorological appliances,
methods and skill make possible fore
casts of the conditions that produce
the local signs that presage weather
changes. Furthermore, it is practical
Bile, by the employment of present day
methods, not only to forecast general
weather changes, but also to calcu-
late with great accuracy the course,
intensity and duration of storms.

stereotyper Does NeedIework.

A horny-handed man who spends a
large part of his time in the high
temperatured confines of the stereo-
typing department OF a daily news
paper would hardly be. expected to
be an adept at fancy needlework, but
Joe Gordon, an employe of the Jour-
nal, is versatile genius of this very
type. Gerdoms latest creation is the
cover OF sofa pillow, upon which he
has designed in raised figure the
picture of Teddy bear. The design
is constructed of Teddy bear yarn and
is made by the skillful operation of a
tufting needle. Thousands OF feet
of yarn were used in order to proper
ly raise the figure above the base,
which is of very fine velvet, and the
actual time in which Gordon was en-
ployed was twelve hours. kansas

Belt Made Of ee5 Steer Hides.

Washington State boasts the larg-
est leather belt ever made in the
world. The hides of a herd of 225
steers We're required to furnish the
material from which the big endless
belt was built. Only the centres of
the hides were used, and each Of these
was stretched for weeks to insure
perfectly oven strength in all parts
OF the proposed belt. The belt is ia
feet long, three feet wide and three
ply thick. The weight Of the belt is
something more than $500 pounds.
Not a peg, riyet or fastening of
any kind was used to weld the pieces
OF hide together. The best quality
of cement was used and the places
where the hides overlap welded by the
weight of a hydraulic press bearing
$50 pounds pressure to the square
foot. The big belt has just been in

1t is somewhat curious that such

AS matter of fact 1t is just
hundred years since paper manu-

invented envelopes for letters In their

suddenly abandon work and money
making to drop out of sight and re-
appear as Bohemians. Many of them
have only enough money to pay their
bills at modest hotels, or pensions,
and some of them live In lodgin IS,
eating the questionable food and
drinking the watery wines of the
cheap cafes. Their compensation for
living an aimless, hand-to-mouth ex-
istence is that they are emancipated

such responsibilities as attach to

all OF his capital in an annuity OF
$40 week, is pictured as the most

any English-speaking man in Europe.
All of the sunniest corners on the
Continent where a poor man may

territory.

All Of this seems alluring in print.
1t is, doubtless, appealing in fact. to
many English remittance men and to
a few Americans, but of the millions
who work in this country until they
reach middle life there will never
be many whose ideals of happiness
will ever be realized in a third-rate

tentment eating bread and cheese and
drinking goats milk by the shores
of the Adriatic at an expense of six

middle life with bread and cheese
and honey and table beer, although
there might be fewer new skyscrap-

there might be more real happiness

only one of them is attending the

month to teach this one pupil. and

that will keep school open for the
