CONTROL THE WEARHER
Something Could Be Made to
Happen With Elec-
tricity.

London, Feb. 2.-"We have spent
millions to build railroads, why not
expend capital to control the weather 2"
was the keynote of Sir Oliver Lodges
Kelvin lecture before the Institute of
Electrical Engineers.
According TO his theory, the sun
discharges on the earth a mixture of
ions charged with positive and mega
tive electricity, but the magnetic poles
coax the positive portion to the polar
regions, where they are wasted Civ
ing pyrotechnic displays like the
aurorae borealis. while the warmer
climes get the benefit only of the
negative ions.
He. therefore, advocates shifting
the magnetic poles of the earth so as
to get a greater share of positive cleo
tricity in the upper atmosnheie
much could be done. - be said, "hy
placing u copper rod around the earth
parallel to the equator, which would
discharge millions of amperes, thus
correcting the present climatic vagaries
due to the waywardness of the mag
netic poles.
1T would also correct their re
sponsible action of trees under the ac-
tion of sunlight, which causes the
trees to discharge into the atmosphere
negative electricity which ought to
stay in the earth"
In default of the copper bar, which
would cost millions of dollars, Sir
Oliver appeals to electricians to erect
powerful generating stations on high
mountains and discharge all the posi-
tive electricity they "a produce into
the air, Something is bound to
happen" if this is done, he adds

tanning two five-dollar bills. 1t was
conscience money and came from the
four young men who found Mayor
Royals baseball book and had been
seeing baseball games at His Honor's
expense. A brief note without sigma
lures gave the information that the
money was payment in full for the
book and that the finders would keep
the book.
While Mayor Royal is now In po-
sition to purchase another book, he Is
not clear as to whether the book was
lost or stolen. No names were made
public at the police station. but two
of the young men who had the book in
their possession for time say the
book was found at Island Park. Each
person who used the book figured in a
series of sales and purchases. Fear
ing there might be serious trouble. the
four persons, it is believed, raised the
price of the book, mailing the money
to Mayor Royal last night.
