Theories About Rainfall.

While we in this country have been
suffering for some years from a lack
OF rain, some parts Of Europe appear.
according to statistics, to be getting
more rain every year.
Observations at the Observatory of
Paris show that from 1904 to 1924 the
average yearly rainfall was 502 milli-
meters Can inch is about 20 MILNE
ters). In the next twenty years the
average was 507; then from 1916 to
1872 there was an increase to 525; in
the next twenty years it was 553. and
in the last nineteen years the average
has grown to 5S4 millimeters-about
23's inches.
The commonest theory TO account
for this is that the smoke and dust
rising from large city favor the
condensation OF moisture. But this
theory runs counter to the experience
OF London, the smokiest city OF Eu-
rope. where no such increased rain
fall is recorded.
And In some OF the mountainous re-
gions of France the increase has been
as much as 70 per cent, as compared
with thirty years, ago.

GREAT AUK'S egg?
Maybe, but Nevertheless, 1t Ar
rived at the Breakfast Ia
BILE in a Scramble.
BY MARGARET MANNING.

Professor Ferdinand Brinckhofen
wandered into the kitchen of his sum-
mer bungalow, on the Maine shore.
His wife was washing the dinner
dishes.
ELLEN. my dear" he said, Doctor
Cavendish, of the Natural History
museum, will be here this afternoon.
Can you get up meal for him? He
has TO start back tomorrow morn
ing"
Il suppose so, Ferdinand answered
his wife, a little tartly. You know,
Of course. that we haven't much in
the house to offer a guest. However,
I'll do my best, and if he will be salts
fed with it he's welcome. Why is
he coming all this distance just to
spend the night with us?"
Professor Brinckhofen put his arm
round his wife's waist and kissed
her.
Il know you're busy. Ellen" he
said. Next summer We'll get a maid.
And he wandered out, while his wife
went OH washing. She dried the last
plate and set it aside.
Il wonder just why Doctor Caven-
dish is coming here for one night,
she said to herself.
Professor Brinckhofen engaged a
rowboat and pulled round to the rail
road terminal, where he arrived just
in time to greet Doctor Cavendish as
his visitor stepped out of his car.

greetings had been interchanged.
Doctor Cavendish took his friend
by the arm. My dear old enthusiast,
he answered ito be frank with you

probably mistaken the egg Of a
crested grebe or tufted putin for that

But the great aux did range as far
south as Maine in the last century,"
cried the professor.

tically, and they entered the rowboat
and, few minutes later. rounded the
point of land behind which the Brinck-
hofens had their bungalow.
There was where I shot her" said
the professor, pointing 10 the high,
towering cliff. Il didn't mean to. eth

bear to think OF her getting away.
Now. before we do anything else well

They climbed the hill and entered
the little garden OF the bungalow. In
one corner was the hen house, and, In
the center, seated upon a clutch OF
eggs surrounded with straw, was a
gray hen. which looked at them with
malignant eyes and half opened her
beak as though to protect her trea-
sure.
Shoot" said Professor Brinckhofen,
and the hen slowly rose and retired a
few PAGES, where 1t crouched with
Tapping wings and an irate express
sion. Professor Brinckhofen plunged
his hand into the clutch and drew out
the precious egg. 1t was little
larger than that of goose.
Good heavens. Brinckhofen. IL is!
II is" yelled Doctor Cavendish, and,
carefully replacing it. he seized his
friend round the waist. and the two
graybeards executed dance.
Mrs. Brinckhofen watched them out
of the kitchen window.

dish" she said pityingly. Il wonder
why they are dancing in the hen

When a singularly successful bust

woman counts it no sacrifice to send

There are plenty of ways in which
woman without help may manage,
and even If she keeps a maid she
will find plenty to oversee and cor

rise early to get breakfast for their
husbands unite in saying there are
possibilities in the early morning

toast and well-cooked cereal served to

dragging his friend away as soon as
he decently could. They went into
the professors little bare room and
began discussing the great discovery
"Of course it goes to the museum,
Brinckhofen. said Cavendish. 1T

you
"A thousand dollars!" exclaimed the
professor. You are joking, Cayendish.
Why, the egg alone would bring that
at auction"
Yes, yes, I'm speaking about the
egg" said Doctor Cavendish irritably
What are you speaking about?"
Why, the aux, of course. Don't
you know that | put it there so that
1t would hatch? Why. we'll have a
real live bird, Cavendish shall sell
it to the Geological society," and I'll
patch up the egg after il has Matched

thousand. And the bird will lay more
eggs, and I'll get a thousand apiece

hOfen about it,"
Tell Mrs. Brinckhofen! Why, she'd
tell the neighbors and they'd steal it
or do something to it! Never trust a
woman. No, it is safest just where it
is"
They argued with some lack of
eQuanimity until dinner time, when
Mrs. Brinckhofen elected them into
the dining room.
Hum! I'm hungry as a bear" said
Doctor Cavendish, pulling his napkin
across knees. What have we here
Scrambled eggs? Fine!"
Il don't know whether you like

springing to his feet. do you mean to
say you-you scrambled that egg?"

Christian Endeavor

Contributed by George 6. Penny.
The Bible is full Of biographical
sketches Of men and women. when
we come to think of it, the men and
women OF this world are constantly
but unconsciously writing their own
autobiography The statement "by
their fruits yc shall know them" is
literally true. Men and women alike
are Judged by what they do or what
they do not do. The sayings Of
men and women help US very much
to form our opinions of them but
their acts have a greater influence
over us. When we sec or read Of
the pyramids Of Egypt we marvel at
their grandeur. but we wonder more
at the skill of the men who built
them. When we read some OF Long
fellows beautiful poems, We are
charmed, but we admire and love
the poet. When we see a magnificent
painting our thoughts invariably turn
back to the artist When we read
history. our lives are more or less
affected by the deeds Of those who
are mentioned and whether we will
or not, our own lives have their
influence for good or evil over other
lives.
The lessons we learn from the men
aud women of the Bible will always
be complete, because both sides Of
the lives of these people are writ
ten. We never read in the Bible the
story Of the good side of a man or
woman's life without being able to
read Of the other side also. There
have been many biographies written
which are not complete in telling the
whole truth.
The eleventh chapter of Hebrews
gives us very interesting account
of what many Of the men and wo-
men Of the Bible have been able to
accomplish, and that by faith. There
arc three elements of faith in our
lives which are essential to success;
first. faith in God; second. faith in
ourselves and third. faith in our fell
lowman Many people succeed appar-
entity who have little or no faith in
God Many people in this world sue
ceed because their faith in them
selves is nithing less than conceit
and many people succeed apparently
whose faith in their fellowman is a
mere tolerance.
Genuine faith as mentioned above
will bring success. but not without
action. Faith without work is
dead. Il is faith and action that
lproduce the results in the arts, liter
ature and science which we see all
around US.
