RAIN FORMATION.
Cold Air Squeezes the Moisture Out
Of Warm Air.

Warm air is capable of holding
more moisture in suspension than is
cold air. When by any means a
layer or current of warm air which
is saturated with moisture is sud-
denly cooled a portion Of the vapor
must fall as rain. Cold shrinks the
heated air as pressure does a wet
sponge and with precisely the same
results. In mountainous countries
this cooling down of the warm and
damp air is most commonly pro-
duced by the air being brought into
the neighbOrhood of mountain tops,
which are cold.
1t is for this reason that in such
countries the showers mostly origi-
nate among the mountains and come
through the valleys out upon the
plains.
1t will be easily understood that
the higher the. mountain the more
striking will be the effects produced.
If it be snow capped peak in a
tropical region a cloud will be formed
such as to conceal the summit all the
time. This cloud will be constantly
growing on the side of the mountain
toward which the currents of warm
and moist air are set, for on that
side the air is being cooled down.
but after it has been driven over the
peak it will waste away as rapidly,
for it is then coming in contact with
warmer air again.
From such high peaks the cloud
rarely breaks away as a shower. All
the surplus moisture of the air is de-
posted in the form of rain or snow
upon the peaks over which the air
passes.

WHERE LIONS SHARE GOES

on it after it left the farmers hands.
And yet, taking the average price
that the baker receives, say five
cents loaf, you will find that that
bushel has advanced from 80 cents
to 1915 a bushel, or an increase of
400 per cent.
Farmer Not to Blame.
But, Mr.. President, I want to fol-
low that bushel of wheat a step fur
Their. When that is served down here
in your restaurant, or in any other
restaurant in Washington, if you or
der bread and butter alone you are
paying all the way from 10 to 20
cents a service. You will probably use
about couple of slices. That same
loaf of bread, then, sells upon the
table in the restaurant for about so
cents, and rs loaves at so cents
apiece means $3.50 for that bushel
of wheat. Then we have, again, the
farmers price, 90 cents a bushel.
The price after the farmer has let
go of it and it reaches the consumer
on the table is $3.50 per bushel
Let us take potatoes. l saw
farmer the other day, and he told me
he was receiving 80 to 80 cents
bushel for his potatoes. I find from
this same bill of fare that if you take
one of those potatoes and hash it
brown down here you pay Is cents
for it. In other words, two potatoes
served here cost as much as the en-
tire bushel of about 800 potatoes
that was sold by the farmer, an in
crease of about 5000 per cent, and
this leaves out of account entirely
the other half bushel that has to be
turned over to the colored waiter for
serving that one potato.

RAILROADS PROHIBIT KISSING
Trains Won't Wait For Fond Linger-
ing FareWeIIs.

A restriction which may be regard
ed as an interference with the lib
erty of the individual will shortly
be placarded in all stations on rail-
ways managed by the French govern
ment. 1t is a decree against kissing.
1t seems that it is the custom of
French people when bidding farewell
to one another at a railway station
to prolOng the ceremony so that seri-
GUS delay is caused to the train SER
vice. At least that is the official
excuse given for the notorious lack
of punctuality on the state-managed
lines.
The prohibition is not yet posted,
but inspectors of the state railways
strongly recommend the measure.
When the notice is finally put up it
will run something like this:
Defense de s'Embrasser-It is
strictly forbidden to exchange kisses
upon the platforms or in the waiting
rooms or upon the steps Of the car
riages of the state railways, owing
to the delays so frequently occa-
stoned by the dilatory practice.
which is calculated to disturb the
proper running of the traffic upon
the system by retarding the depart
ure of trains, and which is thus
4 fraught with inconvenience and even
danger to the public, as the first con-
dition of safe travelling is punctuali-
ty. Persons discovered kissing will
be liable to prosecution.

SHEPHERDS OF PALESTINE.
A Life Which Is Almost Ideal in Its
Peace and Quiet.

The Pastoral life of the Palestine
peasant has always been a subject
of interest and a pleasant study.
The shepherd is seen at his best in
the spring, when he has the care of
both sheep and lambs and when all
MS thoughts are centered on his
seemingly indolent occupation.
Work for the shepherd begins in
earnest with the Landing season.
which commences early January and
| continues for two or three months :;
during that time it is no unusual
sight to see the shepherd with sew
| eral newly born lambs or kids stored
away in the capacious folds of his
bosom and the mothers in close at
| tendance.
When heavy storms of snow or
rain come on the shelter of some
cave has to be sought and careful
watch against the attacks of wild
animals kept. This watchfulness is
not relaxed on a fine day, and the
long hours on the hillsides or plains
are Whiled away in making music on
| the reed flute, of which every shep-
I
nerd is the maker and player.
The music is an assurance to the
sheep that the shepherd is on the
alert; let the music cease for any
length of time and the flock will stop
grazing and look around for their
caretaker and leader. At night the
sheep are folded around the village
or camp to which they belong. The
fold is a large enclosure, the wall
OF which is made up of good sized
stones piled one on another. There
IS only one entrance, which is mar
row, for the sheep as they enter
have to pass under the rod so that
the owner may count them and see
that none are missing.
10 find good pasture and a quiet
resting place is the daily duty of the
shepherd, and in the long summer
days the flock rests during the heat
by some stream or under the shadow
lof a great rock. Each sheep has its
name, to which it will respond on
being called by its keeper. In south
ern Palestine the flocks are tended
by girls and women, but in other
parts by youths and men.

SIZE OF LAWYERS FEES.
Old-Timers Charged as Much in Pro-
portion as Modern Ones Do.

According to the news reports the
amount of the lawyers fees in the
long will contest over the Russell es-
tate in Boston has reduced it's value
from $4,000 to 100000; and in
Camden, n. j., Chancellor Pitney in
chambers rebuked a firm for charg-
ing a ''total fee of SIS, 900" in a case
involving $4,000 with interest.
In the old frugal days great law
yers were more modest. Rufus
Choate was accustomed to taking
cases for fee of $50, and Aaron
Burr, a most successful practitioner,
did not come to infamy because he
charged less. Daniel Webster, in the
greatest period of his career, never
earned more than 100000 a year.
Abraham Lincoln amassed $4,000 in
money and a small cottage in Spring
field, Ill, before he became presi-
dent, hoping to increase it to 500
600; "and that" he said, lis as
much as any man ought to want.
The cost of living to lawyers has
advanced since then. Still we are
not at all sure that the two cases
of relatively high legal fees recorded
above are typical of the modern prac-
tice. Mr.. William D. Guthrie is said
to have received more than 81 ,000,-
900 for winning the Plant will case,
and $4,000 in the proceedings to-
test the cOnstitutionality of the in
come tax. Elihu Root gave up
lucrative practice to accept $4,000
year in President Roosevelt's cabi-
net. Governor Hughes received
$25, 900 for his work as counsel for
the Armstrong committee. But in all
these cases it might be shown that
the fee represented but small part
of the vast interests at stake. A
just comparison might show that the
old-time lawyers really charged more
than the successful practitioners of
York Times.
