more than the air will draw up a
chimney when there is no fire in it.
Since then the heating of different
parts of the earth and its atmosphere
to different temperatures is the real
cause of the winds and ofall weather
changes it follows that the moon and
the planets can affect the weather
only SO far as they supply heat.
Now, according to accurate meas
urements made with the most deli
cate Instruments, the amount OF heat
sent to the earth by all the planets
and also by the moon is insignificant
in comparison to the amount that
comes from the SUM- Hence, we
could not expect either the planets
or the moon appreciably to affect the
weather. They do not supply enough
heat, the one thing that causes all
our weather changes.
To most people the foregoing rca-
soning may seem quite sufficient and
conclusive, bit there is still another
and an entirely different method Of
testing the whole question. We can
observe the positions of the planets
and the kind of weather during each
position and see whether the same
sort of weather always comes when
the planets are in the same position.
This kind Of examination has often
been made, both for the planets and
for the moon, but not the slightest
influence of either upon our weather
has been found.
To sum up: We have every rca-
son to believe that neither the planets
nor the moon can have amy apprcci-
able effect ON the weather, because
they furnish SO little heat upon which
all weather changes ultimately de-
pend, and this belief is fully support
I'd 10y weather records.
The belief, still to be found in all
countries, that the planets and the
moon do affect the weather never had
any scientific basis whatever; it is
only remnant of the many super
stitions generated and fostcrrd by
that other and greater superstition,

Do The Planets Affect
Our Weather.

One of the correspondents of the
Weekly News Letter to Crop Cores
pondents published by the Depart
ment of Agriculture wants to know
whether the positions of the planets
have any effect on the weather. The
following is the News Letters answer:
A few people strongly assert that
they do, while many others have
their doubts. Those, however, who
have given the subject careful atten-
ton are positive that none of the
planets, nor even the mon, ever has
any apprcciable effect on the weather.
AS matter of fact, all weather
changes depend ultimately upon tenn
perature differences. The tempera-
ture, as we know, constitutes of it.
self most important weather factor
Another and equally important fact"
or is rainfall. But to obtain rain it
is necessary first to evaporate water
from the surface of the earth, and
this, as everyone knows, requires
heat. Still another important wealth
er factor is the direction and force of
the wind, and this, too, requires heat,
for the winds will not blow unless

Navy Men Approve De-
Sertion Order.

Washington, July 27.-Secretary
Daniels drastic order calling for the
abolition of imprisonment for deser-
ton from the navy in times of peace
was the subject of general comment
in naval circles her" today.
The order provides for the sum,
mary dismissal instead OF imprison-
ment of bluejackets who ovrrstay
their leave, get intoxicated while on
shore or commit similar breaches OF
discipline and for honorable 1ischarg"
of men who want to quit tn" service
by merely refunding certain enlist
mcnt allowances.
The new regulations, which are a
radical departure from the methods
which have heretofore prevailed in
the navy, were issued in accordance
with a referendum vote of the officers
of the lazy, majority of whom are
said to have favored the action. The
Secretary stated he had become con-
WINGED that the general situation un
der the old regulations in dealing
with the enlisted personnel who had
not desired to remain in the service
was untenable and not in keeping
with modern business ideas.
'Tbe Navy has no time for the
drunkard, be it ashore or ahoat, nor
for those who in violation of their
oath are not present and ready for
duty when required" said Secretary
Daniels in discussing his order.
Such offenses indicate inherent I'M
fitness for the naval service. Owing
to the methods by which men are
necessarily enlisted without full
knowledge of their past, a certain I'M
desirable class of meier do wells ell
list; such men would fail in any vo-
cation Of life.
Men OF this type at present find
their way to naval prison, where
they are an expense to the Govern
ment and a burden and not a help to
their families. Hereafter these men
will, as a general rule, simply be dis
missed and the service freed Of their
unwholesome influence.
The Secretary added that the order
would result in the wedding out of
the navy the undesirables" and
raise the general standard of the en-
listed personnel. Figures prepared
by the Secretary show that there are
now 1890 men in prisons and disci-
plinary barracks.
THE opportunity to travel, to Sc
cure an education and to win promo
tons heretofore not possible" said
the Secretary, have contributed to
make the service in the navy attrac-
tive to the best class Of young men.
1t is, therefore, deemed a suitable
time to put an end to imprisonment
of young men who desire to leave the
service. We can get plenty who love
it and will be an honor to it,"
