A new idea for calling trains on
the various railroads of the western
staes Is attracting considerable atten-
ton and is being much discussed by
railroad men in general. The phon-
ograph will be used very largely in
the future, so that the passengers at
the depots may distinctly hear TIE
various stations as they are called
out.
The officials OF the railroads who
have installed monographs as train
callers say that in the past persons
with strong voices were necessary as
train callers but that these men
were never able to speak distinctly
and that very few passengers were
able to tell what was being said by
the caller. 1t IS SAID that the .phon-
ograph will be quite generally used
over the various roads.

Why h Rains in the Panhandle.

: Way back in 1853 people won
dered why it rained in the Pan
handle in the late summer when
! other portions of the state were
parched and dry. In Burk's
Texas Almanac for the year 1888,
he makes this explanation:
The reason is plain. During
the spring and summer months
the prevailing winds are from
the southeast. They blow inces-
sanity, and with an average
velocity of about twelve miles
per hour. These southeast trade
winds blow from the African
coast, obliquely across Atlantic
Ocean, caribbean Sea and Gulf
of Mexico. Passing over this
evaporating surface, they be-
come heavily laden with vapor.
They strike the coast of Texas,
depositing this vapor in rain as
they go, until they reach the
mountains and elevated table
lands of northwestern Texas.
The low temperature of the ele-
vationS wrings the remaining
moisture from them in copious
showers. The rainfall is suffi-
cient to afford a constant cur
rent in the Red. Wichita, Pease,
Brazos and their Tributaries.
We know that the vapor con-
tanned in the wind is condensed
when it comes in contact with
cold air, and is precipated in the
shape of rain; and we know from
experience, that it was so cold at
night during the months of June
July and August tast that two
blankets were insufficient to keep
us warm.
While the greater part of the
state was parched with drouth it
rained on us three times per
week for two months,
The red rises in the Brazos
and Colorado river occur chiefly
during the spring and summer
months. They are the effects of
rain, and the color of the water
indicates the locality of it's fall.
These great rivers and their
tributaries rise and flow through
the red lands of the northwest
ern portion of the state.
These rivers express the
quantity of rainfall. Now, it the
mum Der of red rises can be ascer-
tanned, the question of rains in
the northwest may be settled.
To obtain this information | have
converSed and corresponded
with persons living upon the
banks of these Streems and sub
NIT the result of these observa-
tions. Judge G.. X. Stribbling
of Griffin, writes: The red rises
in the Clear Fork of the Brazos
are mostly in the spring season,
and very often when it is dry
here.
From the ferryman at Austin
who has lived on the banks of the
Colorado for twenty-five years,
| learned that the average rises,
small and great, We're from three
to five per month during the
spring and summer. FIX.
