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 chow that from 1904 to 1924 the
average yearly rainfall wss 502 MILL
meters tan inch is about IS millime-
ters). In the next twenty years the
average was 607; then from 1845 to
1872 there was an increase to S26; In
the next twenty years 1t was 65S, and
In the last nineteen years the average
has grown to 584 millimeters-sbout
23k inches.
The oommonest theory to account
for this IL that the smoke and dust
rising from a 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. az compared
with thirty years ago.

LESS CRIME IN SUMNER.
Some Hot Weather Consolation for
the 'Dwellers in Cities.


the 'Dwellers in Cities.
From the Atlantic Monthly.
For those of US who are forced to
spend most of our summers in cities,
there are a few consoling thoughts. One
is that the severest heat does not promp;
men to crime. as the social statisticians
have found that the severest cold does.
Another is that the worst Temperatures
We are called upon to face falls long
way short of Nthe endurance limit Of
the human body and brain, as proved
by French experiments at the 80 degree
level. Another comes from the discov-
cry through the newspapers, with every
prolonged hot wave, that We are break
ing the record in some line or other.
This ought to lie a stimulus to our pride,
and IL We wi. Il to carry further the
benehcent influence OF mental suggestion,
all We need to do Is to compare what Is
happening to us with what has happened
to various other peoples at various
other times. For instance, when the en-
cyclopedias tell US that in A. D. SN the
heat in France and Germany dried the
water sources and a multitude Of people
died of thirst; that in the battle of
Bella. in 1260, more soldiers were killed
by the sun than by the weapons of the
foe: that in 1893 three great rivers OF
Western Europe went dry, and that In
Odessa, In 1859. the noon temperature
reached IA degrees and q sunshade was
necessary at 5 o'clock in the morning, we
are bound to conclude that We are not
SO badly on, after all.
