weather Bureau Complies List OF
DRY Spells.
FIRST ONE RECORDED IN is4s
1893 Was the Driest YeaF-10lO
Dricst for Western Third Of
the State-Usually Are
Local.

1VUOh4R A10
weather bureau has compiled q list
of some Of the most notable dry
spells in Kansas since weather &c
ords have been officially kept IN
the state.
Severe drouths in Kansas" says
the report, ARE usually Of local oc-
~currence, and are more prevalent in
the western half Of the state than
in the eastern, partly on accoun
Of the smaller average precipitation
and partly on account of the exces-
siye evaporation due to the hign'
drying winds, which are more COM
mon there.
FIn the twatny-six years that
statewide weather observations have
been taken 1893 was the driest
year, the average precipitation be-
ing 2S per cent less than normal.
For the western third of the state
the driest year, 1910, had an aver
age precipitation of 80 per cent less
than normal.
"Some of the most notable drouths
in the states history are as fol-
lows:
From June, 1888, to- January
1914, inclusive, but 6.99 inches OF
precipitation, 20 per cent OF the nor
NAL amount, fell at Fort Leaven-
worth. During June, July and Aug
ust of that period but 9 per cent OF
the normal precipitation occurred.
"In 1S47 but IA per cent OF the
normal precipitation occurred at
Fort L~eavenworth from July to No
vember, inclusive, though there
were heavy rains in May and June
preceding this.
"In June and July, 1854, there
was but II per cent Of the normal
rainfall at Fort Riley and in July
and August but is per cent of the
normal amount at Fort Leaven'
worth.
"In 1859 a drouth began in the
central portion of the state In Sep
} TENDER and at Fort Leavenworth II
} October, which continued until the
last of April, 1861, in the central
portion OF the state and the latter
part of May at Fort Leavenworth
a period of upwards of 600 days.
From the latter part of January,
1854, to the early part of February
1865, only 1878 inches of moisture
} 80 per cent of the normal amount
/. fell at Fort Leavenworth.
"A drouth began at Wallace IN
September, 1872, and continued un'
til the first Of May, 1874, a period
of 600 days. during which only S.S2
inches of water fell, 3S per cent O
the normal rainfall.
'The years 1S74-75 we're years
of diminished rainfall in eastern
Kansas, but they would not have
been felt SO severely had it not beer
for the grasshoppers.
'In 1910 occurred one of the mos
severe drouths on record In south
| ern and southeastern parts OF the
( state, only an average of "a pei
cent of the normal precipitation oc
I curing in the southern half OF the
the state in the eleven months end
ing with November of that year."

that give them distinctly ghost
like appearance in the dark.
The paint is simply a chemical
process of storing sunlight. Fhe
chemicals contained in it are ex-
posed to the sun for an indefinite
length of time and by a peculiar
process absorb light which they
hold until they are put in dark
ness and then the light begins to
ooze out. The paint has been
much used in making match
boxes, clock faces, bait for night
fishing, etc, in this country.

English "ghost car" fri
Gather a bunch of sunbeams
when the sun is shining brightly;
drape them over your automobile
or your baby carriage and thus
avoid accidents on a dark night.
Impossible Not at all Quite
the simplest thing you khow!!!
They are. doing it in England
and the country folk of at least
one county have been frightened
almost to death by the ghost
cars" that fit about the roads.
The answer is luminous paint.
England has been particularly
interested in the. matter of max
ing motor cars visible at night
time since the evening not so long
ago when a car without lights
collided with a column of troops
engaged in naneuverS in the
dark.
And since then there have been
binding headlights on motor
cars and distinctive tail lights for
columns of troops. But even
these precautions did not prevent
accident. So some genius thought
of using luminous paint to coat
the automobiles and the question
was solved. There have been
numbers of cars and carriages
painted with luminous colors

CHATTANOOGA To
ASK CHANGE IN
v. IA. YARDS
Railroad Committee From Ten
nessee City Coming to See the
Georgia Legislators.

Members of the Chattanooga Cham
Der of Commerce committee on the
Western and Atlantic Railroad have
signified their intention of coming to
Atlanta within a few days to place
before the Georgia Legislature a
proposition for removing the Western
and Atlantic freight yards from the
heart Of Chattanooga.
They are cooperating with the At
lanta Chamber of Commerce and be-
fore presenting their plans to the
Legislature will confer with the To-
cal committee with an idea of settling
upon a definite plan of action which
may have the support of both com
merCial organizations.
The proposition, as advanced by
the Chattanoogans, is to induce the
Georgia Legislature to pass a bill
putting the whole matter into the
hands of a permanent commission
which will have the power to pur-
chase property in the suburbs Of
Chattanooga to take the place of the
w. & A. yards in the heart of the
city.
The commission would also be
given authority to negotiate the rem
tai of the grounds vacated by the
railroad. c. E. Jones, of Chatta-
nooga, at one time made an offer Of
$780, 600 a year to the State of Geor-
gia for the property occupied by the
tracks. This offer is said to still
stand good. 1t has since been an
nOunCed that the Chattanooga COM
mittee when it comes to Atlanta will
bring an offer of 100000 a year to
place before the Legislature.

LABOR
BILL FAVORED
IN HOUSE
Measure Provides Scale Of Ages
for Employment of Children
in Georgia Plants,

The Sheppard child labor bill was
nesday by the Labor and Labor Sta
tistics Committee. with a substitute
regarding the employment OF illiterate
children. setting their age at l6 years
and a school attendance requirement
of twelve weeks.
The bill provides for a scale of ages
under which children may not be en-
ployed in factories mills and stores.
These limits are IL years, in 1913; 10
years. In 1914, and IA years. in 1915.
It probably will come before the
House for passage the latter part of
the week.
Opposition was expressed to the bill
before the committee, and this fight
will be carried to the floor of the
House by the advocates of a strict
child labor bill. Their fight will be
on the claim that the bill provides no
punishment for the employer guilty of
working a child under age, and also
that the school attendance require
ment is not sufficient.
The Sheppard bill is the one which
has been referred to as the comprO-
mise bill" having been submitted to
the textile interests before being sub
mitted TO the House. and which was
Endorsed by them.
A favorable report on the Arnold
bill providing for a permanent regis
tration list was made by the Privi-
leges and Elections Committee This
is House Bill No. 202, and is believed
to be slated for an easy passage
through both Houses OF the Legisla-
ture

Greece Likely to Gain
North Aegean Coast.

ATHENS. July 16.-The whole
northern coast of the Aegean Sea
may be annexed by Greece in conse-
quence Of her present occupation of
the strip, following a brilliant cam
paign against the Bulgarians.
Following a meeting OF the Greek
Cabinet to-day Premier Venizelos ad-
mitted that Greece contemplated such
action. This would cut off Bulgaria.
Servia and all Europe, with the ex-
Ception of Greece, from the Aegean
littoral and would give Greece at least
500 additional miles of seacoast.
The Bulgarians took the Aegean
seaboard from the Turks at an enor-

ROME, July 16.-Turkeys war
preparations took a new turn to-day
when negotiations were concluded by
which the Ottoman Government gives
up several small islands in the Aegean
Sea in exchange for Italian battle
ships.
This makes It evident that Turkey
is expecting a renewal of hostilities,
and as Greece is the only State in the
Balkan League which has a formi-
dable navy, the indications are that
Turkey expects to go to war again
with the Hellenes.
