Professor Wiener Says Country
Should Now Be Experiencing
the Rainy Season.
NATURE SEEMS TO
HAVE GONE AWRY
Crops Safe as Result of Down.
pours That Occurred in
Early Summer.

Weather conditions this ri,nth have
thing experienced during September
for the past fifteen years. said Pro-
fessor William Wiener, the local United
States weather man and head of the
science department in the Newark
High School.
I'VE should now be in the midst of
our rainy season. but instead of that
we nave but a single rainfall since
August 81, and that a very Sigh: one.
This same condition is prevailing in all
sections of the country. and is conf
pletely battling nreteorologists. We have
not as yet discovered the cause of this
abnormal state of affairs, but what
ever it is, it is still prevailing, for thare
is absolutely no relief in sight.
Crops VIII Not suffer.
1.-THE long drought is not going 10
affect our crops. as most of them have
excellent shape. : The rainfall during
| the summer months up to the end of
| August was exceptionally heavy. The
average monthly rainfall is about four
inches, but during August we had
almost eight inches, in July 6.3 inches,
with almost as much in June n May.
While the lack of rain has not seriously
affected the farmer, it has been hit
ting the manufacturers hard in some
sections of the country. Both the Sus-
quehanna and the Delaware rivers are
now limos dried up along the upper
part of their courses from lack of rain.
with the results that many mills that
depend upon them for power have been
forced to close down.
I'VE are getting our present hot.
sticky weather fror1 the ',>'1dle West.
There is an area OF very low barometer
west of the Mississippi, and-a westerly
wind is steadily driving the heat and
mist from that region across to us.
Drought Is World Wide.
II do not believe" said Mr.. Wiener.
in reply, to a question as :. whether or
not the extensive forest fires had been
the cause of the recent mist and heat,
the effect of these fires. should be to
create powerful air currents sweeping
toward the burning region.
Drought has been worldwide this
summer. About a month ago / passed
through miles and miles of country in
Hungary where not a drop of rain had
fallen since early in Ma, and there
the fields and crops were burned to a
crisp. The long drought is certainly
very puzzling.'. asE y rs@fs5~W
