DRAWN UP INTO THE SKY
The Only Explanation for the Disap-
pearance of the Water from
the Dead Sea.

There can be only two modes by
which the waters flowing into the
Dead sea can escape from it-either
by underground percolation or by
evaporation. 1t IS extremely improb-
able that any considerable quantity
ESCAPES by the former mode, and we
are further led o suppose, for two
coed reasons. that evaporation ac-
counts 'cr maintaining the steady level
o. that sea. First. the sea remains
inter- y salt. The Dead sea contains
about five times as much solids in so
tense sadness could not be maintained
with comparatively fresh river water
pouring into it for thousands of years,
unless the water in escaping, left be-
hind the saline substances Evapora-
ton is the crly process that would &C
count for this. Secondly. the heat In

and ii would DO even higher in the
Dead sea gorge. George Adams
Smith, in his Historical Geography of
the Holy Land (p.50O). says: The
extracted. moisture usually forms a
haze impenetrable to the eye for more
than q few miles. but sometimes vast
clouds of mist rear themselves from
the sea-"

Next Year in the Air,

'Aviators like Paulhan, who is re-
puted to be receiving $4,000 for his
visit to this country, and Bleriot,
whom | know to have made $300,OOO
since he few across the English chan
mel, are lucky to be making it now
said an Aero club enthusiast.
In another year there will be so
much competition that you will be
able to hire daring aeronauts like
Pau han and Bleriot about as cheap
as high divers are now procured by
country fairs. Why, in France alone
there are now actually 300 men known
to be flying in various makes of planes,
and they are getting more plentiful
and proficient every day. Let the
craze once get grip in this country
and life on our streets will be a posi-.
tive peril beside which the menace OF

SETTLER" FOR THE ORATOR
Boys Question Ended the Speechma-
king, and Almost Put Stop to
Banquet.

Daniel H. Grady, the brilliant young
Portage lawyer, comes to Milwaukee
almost every week, and usually has at
least one new story to tell, says the
Free Press of that city. This is the
last one Mr.. Grady passed out for the
delectation of a group of Democratic
politicians.
Col "Jim" Burke of Mauston, was
an enthusiastic Irishman, and an ora
tor who believed in using "the floor"
as long as he could keep it on the rare
occasions when his fellow townsmen
permitted him to make speech. The
colonel responded to the toast, The
Emerald Isle" at a big St. Patrick's
day banquet some years ago, and he
made good his ancient reputation as a
long-distance talker. After recalling
the history of Ireland during all the
distressful centuries with close atten-
ton to details, the speaker paused for
breath, The audience was glad of the
respite.

OCCURRENCE CT H!.r sT1RNs
Violent Vertical Disturbances Respcn
sible for the Showers of
Frozen Rain.

Hail storms occur most frequently
during the heated season, and during
that part of the day when the vertical
disturbances OF the atmosphere is
greatest. These heated areas, and
violent vertical disturbances of the
atmosphere are more likely to occur
over land than over water, owing to
the fact that land becomes heated
more rapidly during the day than does
body of water. Hail is supposed to
be formed by the congealing of rain
or vapor carried up to a great height
by rapid vertical movement of the
air. At a certain point in it's ascent,
after being CONCEALED. the ice particles
are thrown out from the center upon
stratum of air ascending less rap
idly. Here they fall. and in their de-
scent increase in mass by condensing
vapor on their surfaces. AS they de-
scend they are sucked into the ascend
ing vortex again, and by this process
grow sometimes to enormous dimen.
sions before finally reaching the
ground. 1t may be seen. therefore.
that hail is less likely to occur over
a watered area than over land area
And especially is this so in MOI thern
latitudes, where the waters are cold
and are likely to retard vertical cur.
rents of any intensity. Although hail
is most likely to be produced over
land, it may be precipitated with
greater frequency over, or in the near
neighborhood of water, since the up
ward air current over water is sufi-
GENTLY moderate in velocity to allow
the precipitation of hail That is the
only way in which water can be said
to attract hail storms In a northern
latitude there are fewer and less vio-
lent hailstorms over an area partly
watered than over waterless area

north along the Sonora river to the

After digging deeper Erwin came
across a wall, which he followed for
20 feet. Further investigation
brought to light hundreds of bones

LITTLE TRIBUTE TO dad"
Hasn't He Really Got Something
Coming to Him?

We happened in home the other
night, and over the parlor door saw
the legend worked in letters of red,
What Is Home Without a Mother7'

Now, what's the matter with God
Bless Our Dad?" He gets up early,
lights the fire. boils an egg and wipes
off the dew of the dawn with his
boots, while many a mother is sleep
ing. He makes the weekly handout for
the butcher, the grocer, the milk man
and baker, and his pile is badly worn
before he has been home an hour.
If there is a noise during the night
dad is kicked in the back and made to
go downstairs to find the burglar and
kill him. Mother darns the socks, but
dad bought the socks in the first place,
and the needles and the yarn after
ward. Mother does up the fruit; well.
dad bought it all. and jars and sugar
cost like the mischief.
Dad buys the chickens for the Sun
day dinner. carves them himself and
draws the neck from the ruins after
every one else is served. What Is
Home Without Mother?" Yes, that
is all right; but what is home with
out father? Ten chances in one it's
boarding house. father is under a
slab and the landlady is the widow.

not to buy autos"
When Psenicka said that the old pa
troll wagon would be sold to the fire
department and that it was badly need
ed, Herman replied that selling the pa
troll wagon by the police department
to the fire department was like taking
money out Of one pocket and putting it
into the other. Herman thought that
to put on style the new auto would be
a good thing, but he did not favor
plunging any more into debt. McCar-
ten and Clark both thought the new
machine was needed
Herman alone voted no in adopting
the resolution. The Fourth ward coun-
Gilman then moved that the mayor and
city clerk advertise for bids for the
machine. This. however, was without
force, because the adoption OF the res
olution gave the police and fire COM
mittee the power to buy the machine.

Monday night thru Mr.. Hull for an
electric light at the corner of Seventh
and Summit. AS four lights are to
come off of Main street with the in
stallation Of the electroliers, property
owners thought one could be placed
on their corner, where they claim the
light is badly needed. 1t was moved
to refer the petition to the electric
light committee, but Herman amended
by moving to grant the prayer On
the vote the amendment prevailed,
with McCarten. Good. and Psenicka
opposing. The opposition developed
from the fact that there are other pc
titions in for lights. and not enough
lights to go around. Altho the motion
to place the light prevailed the mayor
announced that he was going to take
hand in the light business.
Later in the evening Mr. Gregory
presented a resolution for a light for
Main and Seventh, which was adopted
unanimously.
