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 1t is not the amount
of precipitation which counts nearly
so much as il Is the time and manner
of it's coming. This same fact was
emphasized several years ago by John
III. Baldwin, when he was commission
err of irrigation in the state. In his
report for 1898 he mentions such a
condition, and calls attention to the
fact that il the farmers, in what was
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 year 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."

KEEP MONEY IN WEST
Efforts Being Made to This Effect Un-
der Postal Savings Law

Aberdeen-The Aberdeen Clearing
House association of this city has
started a crusade to keep the money
deposited in the west under the postal
savings bank law, in western banks,
by adopting the following resolutions:
The association adopted the follow
ing resolutions:
Whereas, The postal savings de-
pository act has been passed by con-
gress and has become a law, n
Whereas, Among the provisions IL
one that moneys deposited in postof-
fees shall be redeposited in banks "a

quired to deposit bonds supported by
taxation as security for such moneys,

Whereas, The board, consisting Of
the postmaster general, the secretary
of the treasury and the attorney gen.
eral may designate the classes of
bonds required, for such purposes. and
Whereas, Should government
bonds, state bonds and bonds OF large
municipalities be required, il would
be necessary for the banks ct this
state to buy such bonds In eastern
markets, sending money east for that
purpose, the net result would be that
a sum In excess of the postal deposits
would be transferred to eastern cen
ters and the banks of this state would
not benefit by such deposits; now,
therefore, be II

FREAKS IN C|RCUSES
People Are Strangely Fascinated
by the MonstroSities.
When the "Domestlcated Gorilla" Got
the Show Into Trouble-Hot
Water spolls a MERMAID"
to Uncover Fake.

London.-It seems strange that
freaks, from the legless wonder to the
two-headed calf, should possess such
a strange fascination for nine people
out of ten, yet this is undoubtedly
the case.
or course, there arc many so-called
freaks which have no business to be
called by such an unpleasant name,
for If one argues from the dictionary
a freak is a monstrosity, and a o
strosity, in the generally accepted
sense of the word, is something hor-
rible. The giant and the dwarf are
interesting and unusual. but certainly
should not be called freaks"
Hunchbacks were an exception to
the rule, for all kinds OF powers were
attributed to them. There are some
very sensitive people to whom the
sight of anything in tho nature of a
m~onstrosity is absolute pain, and
women are fortunately few and far
between who fall in love with q 0
ster because Of his m~onstrosity, as
In the case of Victor Hugo's 'L'homme
Qui KIT.
The ordinary individual comes
across very few physical freaks. and
one cannot but wonder whence the
showman's rank and file are recruited.
Perhaps, If the truth were known,
more than half of the show freaks are
fakes" There are many good stories
told of these sham freaks, who, owing
to some c~ontretemps. have given the
show away" The two following are
good examples:
Among the freaks of a certain show
was a "domesticated gorilla" to quote
the handbills. and he proved one Of
the finest draws the show had ever
had. After the performance no one
could have recognized the gorilla, as

SOUNDING BALLOONS
Weather Man At Huron viii Send Up
instruments by Method

Huron-Some time early in Aug Asi
OF this year the United States weather
bureau contemplates sending up from
this city, q 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 J cases as much is IL to IL
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 its record al
every stage of its progress through
the air.
Attached to the basket Is a card
containing detailed instructions for
whoever may find 1t, and offering COM
pensation for its return by express
at the expense of the government, to
States weather bureau.
1t is very important that the finder
of n of these baskets should not In
any way tamper with the instrument,
as the record made by 1t Is delicately
traced on a smoked cylinder, and any
obliteration of this record would ma
terially affect, IL not wholly destroy,
its 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 Is 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 well 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
nlac0 Of ascent.

ed.

quiet, ordinary little man. The public
particularly enjoyed seeing the go
rilla swing from the horizontal bar
by his tail. an appendage which is
very slightly developed in the species
as a rule.
This tail was a masterpiece Of in
genuity. 1t was made of flexible steel.
and SO contrived that when 1t took a

gorilla touching a spring concealed
somewhere neal bis waist. The thing
worked splendjdly for a long time,
until one day the gorilla put his tail
through the bars Of his cage, and a
lady standing by took hold OF it.
Well, the tail acted automatically,
as usual, and OF course when she felt
1t tighten around her wrist the lady
screamed. The gorilla pressed the
hidden spring TO no purpose. To make
q long story short, the men standing
by came to the lady's rescue, took
