BABY'S ECZEMA AND B0lLS

STORMS TO PREDICT SELVES
Wireless Stations to Be Used to Make
7empests Send Their Own
Warning Ahead.

Storm centers 10 usually In an
easterly or ~northeasterly direction.
Hence the prediction Of storms on the
Atlantic coast is possible, since most
of them come from the Mississippi
valley. Some come UP the coast from
the Caribbean sea, but even In this
case we have no warning.
But western Europe is less fortu-
nate. Its tempests come from the At
lantic, and with little warning. Euro
pean weather men have made as much
as possible a study OF the paths or
American storms across the Atlantic
and are sometimes accurate In pre-
dieting the time of their arrival; the
same has been done with storms com
ing up from the South Atlantic.
But 1t often happens that storms
vary either their route or the rate or
movement, go that predicting cyclones
on the coast OF western Europe Is
more or less g~uesswork.
As a possible help In this respect
Director Andre OF the Lyons observa-
tory is making a deep study OF the
g~alvanometer records of various wire
less telegraph stations.
He has found that the antennae are
sensitive to any stray electric currents
as well as to messages, and he hopes
to discover q way to make the storms
telegraph their own warning ahead Of
their arrival.
Every storm is accompanied by cleo
trical disturbances, and already M.
Andre has accumulated a mass OF EVIL
dence to show that each storm in this
way gives warning. Just how to read
this evidence is the problem to which
he is devoting himself.

O'Rourke turned the letter over in

edges through much handling, was

Eagles Kill Foxes
And Wild Bears on
Santa Rosa Island
[SpeeiaI Dispatch 10 The Colll

SANTA BARBARA, April 4.
The wild bears and foxes of
Santa Rosa island are being ex-
terminated rapidly and in a
novel manner, according to a
story brought across the chan
mel yesterday by Superintendent
Frank Pepper of the island do
main of Vail and Vickers. The
American eagle Is doing the
work.
The eagles that have their
habitat in the rocky eminences
of the island grow to immense
size, the smallest mature bird
measuring about four feet from
tip to tip and the largest being
seven feet or more in sweep
with wings extended. They can
carry 80 or 40 pounds dead
weight for miles with apparent
ease.
Pepper has watched the attack
Of these eagles upon young
boars that infest the island. He
says the eagle swoops down
upon its prey and rises to a
height of so feet or more with
the struggling animal clutched
in its talons. If the pig shows
too much fight it is dropped, the
fall killing the animal Then
the eagle descends and carries
off the carcass to the distant
aerie.
Foxes also are the prey of
the eagles.
