until August s, when experts will be

The charge was made by the Women $

According to the attorney engaged by

WOES OF THE STAY-AT-HOMES
Postal Cards That Introduce You to the Lovely Killarney Lakes
The Gories of Rome and the Beauties of Venice-Those
Who Remain Behind Must Act as Receptacle for All the
Descriptions That Travellers Give
By DOLLY DALRYMPLE

I was overcome with heat in Rome.
1t was in Venice that the most beauti-
full creature ever beheld was our Con
doller,' and AT Geneva | met the second
cousin of my friends from Troy, New
York, or something equally as name and
assinine."
Polly yawned as she ventilated her
views.
None of them would care a rap about
going away she said nonchalantly, III
they didn't know they would come home
and inf1lct the tales of their thrilling traY-
els on the ones who've stayed at home.'
Still, when we give vent to such ex-
pressions we poor Stay-At-Homes, | sug-
gested, they say we have an unamiable
spirit, or it's sour grapes or jealousy or
something equally as bad, and
"Who-MF;?' Polly asked obviously
That's absurd. There's never a summer

asked.
IF / am ever guilty of that one unfor-
sivable SIM" she went on, Il will do
something to make up for it. For in
stance, my idea of that sort of thing is
this If I were inclined to make any
friend who stayed at home listen to my
stories of ireland I'd bring her a lovely
irish lace collar, just to listen to me.
Scotland stands for beautiful Clan
Plaids, and a belt, or a scarf of one, is
better to give girl than the description
of the castle of Edinburgh I'd bring
beads from Venice TO the girl whom I'd
planned to make a victim of my heart

dolier-a nobleman in dsguise-but as for

But that's half of the fun of travel
ing l suggested, feeling sorry in a
measure for those who spend their per-
fectly good money on sight seeing. and

their experiences to-
Easy enough" said Polly, who had
evidently studied the subject assiduously.
| IF You have to tell somebody. choose an
other fellow traveller who can match you
One who has been seeing sights herself
and who can hand you back a dose of
your own medicine and give you an exact
idea how it tastes to be told travel yarns .
There wasn't much argument to put
against such as that, and so said Moth
ing, when presently Polly remarked:

THE CAUSE OF RAIN

To determine fully The wherefore.

answer, has set the experts to work
at the meteorological station on Mount

dust mote, the same degree of humidity,
the same air pressure-the result is not
always the same; 1t may or may not

The presence In greater or lesser de-
gree or absence of electrical, electro
in the dust mote may expla the vari-
atoms of the results when all other
equations are assumed to be alike. That
is what the weather bureau is bent on
finding out.
This new thought is imported. 1t
comes from London. Professor Moore
had it of Sir James Dewar, great Eng-
fish scientist and authority on conden-
sation, discoverer of liquid air and
liquid hydrogen. 1t was in the labor

aware that there was something new
to be found out about rain.
Sir James Dewar informed him of
the result in experiments in condensa-
ton and the problem growing out of
them. Professor Moore was, of course,
interested in matter so pertinent to
his business of predicting rain and sun
shine, and also OF so much Importance
to the country.
So the weather forecaster may gain
a great deal in accuracy If it can be

ty given he explains, persuaded marine
interests of the value of the PROPOSE
adoption of the plan.
The regulation provides that the
weather observations shall have right
of way over all private commercial
messages, distress signals alone ex-
cepted.
1t is proposed that ships at sea pro-
vided with wireless apparatus shall
each day at 1916 p. m. Greenwich
time, telegraph their latitude and longi-
tude and the existing weather eondi-
tons in that location. This. by code,
can be accomplished in two words. The
wireless service will be paid in service
price. for the messages.
Not until next spring, and perhaps
even later. will the weather chart of
the seas be available. There is much
preliminary work to be done. Perhaps
Congress will have to supply the money
for the purpose. The United States
weather bureau will proceed with its
plan regardless of what any other ma
tion shall do in making use of the
service. The advantages are obvious.
