FORECASTING WEATHER
BY CUMULUS CLOUDS
Swiss Scientists Work Is of
Practical Importance

Cloudy weather forecasts made by
DIR. A. de Quervain of Zurich are of the
utmost scientific and practical impor-
tance. His deductions are based on the
familiar cumulus cloud of warm sum-
mer days.
When reaching heights of six or
seven miles it becomes a trundle cloud,
says the Chicago Tribune. The high
floating top assumes the shape of a
fleecy ice needle cloud and extends
sideways in anvil shape. The ordinary
cumulus cloud undergoes similar trans
formation at a level of three to four
miles, and so does not lead to the for
nation of thunder clouds, but merely
to the production of f1eecy clouds.
This sort of cloud can be regarded as
a. presage of good weather. The veil
shaped hooded clouds have not been
sufficiently explained. Often they en-
compass the top of quickly rising
cumulus cloud and until recently were
thought to be instrumental in the pro-
ductfon of hail. They are always found
to be intimately connected with exist
hand, presage bad weather, occurring
previous to thunder storms.
Even such reliable presages of thun-
derstorms are the remarkably delicate
varieties of feecy clouds which are
mostly found floating about four miles
high. On a darker layer they are super
posed, delicate white heads. These
lofty curly heads. generally in the
morning, safely predict thunderstorm

There are timid men who need
somebody always to lean upon, but
who. under guidance, are faithful and

men afraid of responsibility who are

CAT TRAVELS 40 MILES

Within Two Days

Eighty miles in two days and nights

four weeks old kitten is the world S
record for lady cats set by an athletic
tabby belonging to Mrs. Ann Grant of
Waterville, says the New York Sun.
Careful search of the athletic records
shows that several gentleman cats have
bettered this time for the distance and
that some who have been overcome by
the wanderlust have gone farther, but
these feline Westons carried no weight

box a foot long.
The Grants moved from Stetson to

BERKELEY, June 25.--Science is still

lecture before a large audience in
Hearst hall at the university tonight,
talking on the celebrated celestial wan
derer, side stepped all mention Of the

view of the 75 year visitor.
At the end of the lecture, however,
he was besieged by a puzzled audience.
who asked If the tail really touched
the earth.
I'VE are still working on the mat
ter, declared Professor Curtis, "and
until we consult with other observa-
tories will not be able to tell what
really happened. Prof w. w. Camp
bell, director of the Lick observatory,
is of the opinion that we passed
through the outer edge of the tail, and
hold the same belief, but we can not
tell with any amount of accuracy as
yet until we have the figures of other
observatories."
E Curtis then went on to explain that
the comet seemed to approach the earth
with tail shaped like a boomerang,
with it's thin edge turned toward the
earth, thus making it difficult to tell
whether or not the tail would sweep
the earth.
He declared in his lecture and showed
by many lantern slides that since May
is the comet had been acting like
celestial clown, although its antics are
visible only through the telescope.
Before it reached the earth May Is it
was a fairly sedate heavenly body, he
said with straight tail and regular
speed through space. Then comes the
blank in the astronomical records as to
what happened
But after that period of uncertainty,
Doctor Curtis continued, and the comet
had passed the earth it commenced to
grow tail every few hours of all
kinds and shapes. ONE were spiral
and detached from the main body of
the comet and f1oated off into space.
Their length is wonderful, he declared.
Other times the comet had a head
like a mushroom and was surrounded
by halo of different materials than
the head of the object.
Science Astronomer Curtis explained
to the Astronomical society of the Pa
cific at the summer session Of the uni
versity under whose auspices he lee
tured, that he can not account for the
strange behavior of the body, which,
however, has followed in some in
stances the antics of other comets.
The lecturer concluded his remarks
with the declaration that Halley's
comet was doomed to destruction, as

DR.. KOCH'S DISCOVERIES
GREATLY UNDERRATED
Contribution to Therapeutics of
CONSUMPTION Are Neglected

The late DIR. Robert Koch both en-
joyed the advantage and suffered the
disadvantage of the popular celebrity
which often confuses just estimate
of scientific attainment. He was one of
the great leaders in modern bacteri-
ology and his direct contributions to-
practical science We're many and i'm
portant, says the Philadelphia Ledger.
His fame rests primarily upon the iso-
lation of the tubercule bacillus, dis
covery which appealed broadly to the
popular ina magination and led him into
a line OF experimental research which
raised enthusiastic hopes. Because the
results of 'tuberculin'' did not instant
~ realize the eager expectation which
they raised, Koch's popular fame was
correspondingiy depressed. There has
been lately tendency to underrate
his actual contribution to the thera-
peutics of consumption and to neglect
his many other important services to
medical science.

The figures convincingly establish

The total of the bill, $4,000, 900,

unWise. 1t tends to waste, because
thus constructed the projects are
