Rainfall Below Normal

Huron-The weather bureau of this
city has given out a list of figures on
precipitation in South Dakota show
ing that the year 1910 has been far
below the normal for many years, and
yet the crop in the state is only slight
ly below the normal one, the infer
ence being that it is not the amount
Of precipitation which counts nearly
so much as it is the time and manner
of it's coming. This same fact vas
emphasized several years ago by John
H. Baldwin, when he was commission
er of irrigation in the state. In his
report for 1898 he mentions such a
condition, and calls attention to the
fact that if the farmers, in what "a
then supposed to be the artesian belt
of the state in the Jim river valley,
would arrange to supply their crop
with a small amount of artesian wa
ter just at the period when it needed
they could be certain Of a crop every
year. His position at that time be-
ing that the total precipitation for
the year was not a standard upon
which a crop veal could be based, but
that year with lighter precipitation
secured at the proper time would as
sure a good crop. This year has GER
tainly carried out the theory which
was advanced by Baldwin in the time
Of the drouth years of the "nineties."

UNCLE SANS WEATHER MAN At
HURON TO SEND UP SOME
SOUNDING BALLOONS
WATCH FOR PARACHUTES
These Will Carry Very Delicate Self
Recording Instruments For
Noting Weather Fac.
tors in the Sky

Huron-Some time early in August
Df this year the United States weather
bureau contemplates sending up from
this city, a number of what are known
as sounding balloons" in order to
ascertain the condition of the atmos-
phere at great elevations as compar-
ed with that at the earth's surface.
These balloons are constructed Of rub
Der and when inflated with hydrogen
gas measure from 6 to s feetin
diameter, and have a lifting capacity
Of from 6 to 10 pounds. Each balloon
carries with it a light wicker basket
containing a delicately constructed in
strument, which automatically records
the temperature, pressure, and humid
ity in the region of the atmosphere to
which the balloon ascends, which is
In some cases as much as IL to Is
miles above the surface of the earth.
Attached to each balloon and bas-
ket is a parachute. The decreasing
density OF the atmosphere as the bal
loon ascends permits the expansion of
the hydrogen gas to finally explode
the ballon. thereby releasing the para
chute, which gradually descends to
the earth and safely lands the basket
containing the instrument, the latter
having faithfully made it's record at
every stage of it's progress through
the air.
Attached to the basket is a card
containing detailed instructions for
whoever may find it, and offering COM
pensation for it's return by express,
at the expense of the government, to
some designated office of the United
States weather bureau.
1t is very important that the finder
of one Of these baskets should not in
any way tamper with the instrument,
as the record made by it is delicately
traced On a smoked cylinder, and any
obliteration of this record would ma
terially affect, if not wholly destroy,
it's value.
The weather bureau has to depend
for the results of theseascensions
upon the chance of someone finding
and returning the basket and instru-
ment. Out Of thirteen ascensions
made last year at Omaha, Neb., all
but one of the baskets and instru-
ments was found and returned as di-
rected.
The finder of one of these baskets
will not only greatly aid in meteoro-
logical research, but will as well con-
fer favor upon the United States
weather bureau, by closely following
the instructions attached to the bas-
ket.
The descent of the balloon para
chute and basket, as we'll as the
ascent of the balloon, should be close
ly watched for by interested persons,
as the balloon moves rapidly and In
most cases soon passes out of sight.
In some cases the basket and instru-
ment have been found from three to
four hundred miles distant from the
Mace of ascent.

A FTER losing four positions within
IA a year just because of her beauty,
Mary Todd has left Washington and
will try her fortune elsewhere. Miss
Todd set out to be a stenographer.
Her employer got mixed up in his die
tation and included phrases that could
not have been part Of the correspond
ence. AS a shopgirl the foorwalkers
strolled too often near her counter. AS
a milliner she aroused the envy and
jealousy of customers.
Miss Todd has been living in George
town for a little more than a year.
She came here from a small Pennsyl-
vania town, well equipped to work,
with money enough to wait until a
reasonably good position was open to
