Shipments from the Joe and John
on Cement creek are being crowded
rapidly these days. The wagon road
has been repaired and extended to the
upper work so that it is no longer
necessary to sack the ore and pack it,
but it is being shipped by wagon. This
enables them to increase the tonnage,
and yet materially decrease the cost
of shipping.

SENATOR SMITH
LAUDS SCHOOLS
ON WARSHIPS
Declares Daniels Plan to Teach
Seamen Trades viii Make
Recruiting Easy.

WASHINGTON. June 7.-Senator
Hoke Smith. Of Georgia, declared to-
day that he considered Secretary
Daniels policy of making United
States battleships into public school
houses one of the greatest things ever
done by a Secretary Of the Navy.
This is one Of the greatest oppor-
tunities for young men to see the
world and at the same time obtain a
technical education that could have
been devised" Senator Smith said.
There is every reason in the world
why the work should be a success.
Nowhere is the opportunity better to
obtain an education in mechanical en-
gineering than on a battleship. 1t is
specially adapted to such training and,
besides that, the opportunity to get
knowledge of electrical engineering,
wireless telesraphy and a host of al
He'd subjects is unlimited.
The teaching Of such a course will
mean that the department will have
a waiting list within a year instead OF
having to solicit recruits for the serv-
ice. For a man to go into the service
and come out In three years equipped
as a mechanical engineer is an ad-
vantage unparalleled in the country.
And IL viii be no less splendid for
the officers 10 act as teachers. 1t VIII
be the best training they could get,
and instead of the service being nc
notonous. 1t Will be an inspiration"

Clear moon,
Frost soon.

Clear moon,
Frost soon.
MoonIit nights have the heaviest
frosts,
Stars Accurate Foreeasters.
DR.. Humphreys says the foregoing
are true enough, because on the clear
est night the cooling Of the earth's
surface by radiation is greatest, and
most likely to cause precipitation.
A proverb of the stars, that fur
nishes a correct forecast. is the fol-
lowing:
When the stars begin to hudds,
The earth will soon become
puddle.
There is also some justification for
such proverbs as the Following, con-
corning the wind:
When the smoke goes West,
GUIDE weather is pasti
When the smoke goes East,
GUIDE weather comes neist.
When the winds in the South,
The rains in its mouth.
The wind in the West
Suits everyone best.
AS to the clouds, this proverb Is
scientifically correct:
The higher the clouds, the finer
the weather,
When the air is rather damp and
the day is warm. great cumulus -
thunderhead clouds are apt 10 form,
as a result Of strong convection, and
produce frequent local showers. Hence
the following proverb:
When clouds appear like rocks
and towers,
The sarth's refreshed by frequent
showers.
The manner in which the atmos-
phere conveys sound is also a guide
10 the weather. There Is good reason
to accept the Iroverb which says:
Sound travelling far and wide
A stormy day will betids.
And this one. concerning cIearness
Of vision:
The farther the sight the nearer
the rain.

Sky red In the morning

Sky red at night
Is the sailors delight.
Proverb From the Bible.
One OF the most interesting prov
CRIBS quoted is the one which, ac-
cording to Matthew. Christ used In
answer to the Pharlsees and Sad
duces when they asked that He should
show them a sign from Heaven:
He answered and said unto them,
when il 10 evening, ye say,
X will be fair weather; for
the sky is red.
And in the morning, II will be foul
weather to- day; for the sky
is red and lowering.
"If the evening sky, not far up, but
near the Western horizon. is yellow
greenish, or some other short wave
length color, then all the greater is
the chance for clear weather" says
DR.. Humphreys, for these colors in
dictate even less condensation and
therefore, a dryer air than does red
Hence we can accept the following
lines from Shakespeare as the eX-
preston of a general truth;
The weary sun hath made a goI
den set,
And by the bright track of his
fiery car
Gives token Of a goodly day to-
morrow.

from sunshine, have become loaded

al considerable elevations must be
practically saturated, condition that
favors rain and justifies the familiar
proverbs:
II the sun set in gray
The next will be a rainy day.
II the sun goes pale to bed

Additional proverbs on sky colors
are as follows:
Evening gray and morning red

An evening gray and morning

Will send the shepherd wet to bed.
Evening red and morning gray
Two sure signs Of one fine day.

Indians Had Proverbs.
There are many proverbs foretell-
ing rain and bad weather by the APP
pearance Of solar and lunar halos and
caronas. and DR.. Humphreys says.
AS these form only when there Is
much moisture in the air and some
condensation, the proverbs of this
class are well founded"
The Zunl Indians have provert
which says:
When the sun is in his house it
will rain soon.
These proverbs. referring to the
halo, are cited as being reliable:
Far burr, near ram.
The bigger the ring, the nearer
the wet.
When the wheel is far the storm
is mar;
When the wheel is mar the storm
is far.

"Year of Snow, Fruit Will Grow"
Declared Invaluable Along
With Other JingIing Verses.
BY HUGH S. MILLER.


WASHINGTON, June 7. - The
weather proverb, at which some sci
entists have presumed to sneer mas
received the official approval of the
: United States Weather Bureau. The
Government experts have decided that
in general these proverbs are based
on actual scientific phenomena, and
can be depended on. They are es-
pecially recommended to the people
in communities which do not receive
official forecasts from the Bureau.
Says the Weather Bureau, in
paper written by w. ]. Humphreys,
Professor Of Meteorological Physics OF
the Bureau. and appearing In the
yearbook Of the Department OF Agrl-
culture:
Thus the fisherman to-day, as in
the past, will weigh anchor and Nee
from the gathering storm when, to
the initiated, there is no indication
of ANYTHING other than continued fair
weather; and the woodsman, as did
his remotest ancestors, viii note sig
nidcant changes and understand their
warning messages when the average
man would see no change at all, or
if he did. would fail to comprehend
its meaning
Frost Year, Fruit Year.
Now to the proverbs themselves.
Here are several:
Frost year,
Fruit year.
Year Of snow
Fruit will uroVv
A year Of snow,
A year of plenty.
THAT these and similar statements
commonly are true is evident from
/. the fact that a more or less continu-
Gus covering of snow, incident to
cold winter not only delays the bios
soming Of fruit trees till after the
probable season Of killing frosts," says
DR.. Humphreys. but also prevents
that alternative thawing and freez-
ing so ruinous 10 wheat and other
winter grains In short, as another
,proverb puts It:
"a late Spring never deceives.'
There is another class of proverbs,
expressing almost the same meaning
as those Just given. but in different
way. Here are some OF them;
January warm,
The Lord Have Mercy
II you see grass in January,
Lock your grain in your granary.
January blossoms fiji no mans
cellar.
January and February
Do I'LL or empty the sranarJ.
Built on Observation.
Many proverbs are built on the
sure foundation of accurate observa-
ton and correct reasoning. For in
stance:
A red sun has water in his eye.
"The condition that most favors d
red sun is a great quantity OF dust
smoke particles are particularly good
in a damp atmosphere" says DR..
Humphreys. Smoke alone in suf-
fcient quantities will produce this ef-
feet, but II is intensified by the pres
ence of moisture. A red sun. there
fore, commonly indicates the pres
ence Of both the essential rain ele-
ments-that is. dust and moisture"
DR.. Humphreys cites another prov
erb Of the same kind:
n red the sun begin his race,
Be sure the rain will fall apaee,
Then there are many proverbs con-
corning the color OF the sky at sun
rise and sunset. Shakespeare said:
A red morn that ever yet be-
tokened
