WEATHER EXPERTS FIND NO BASIS
 FOR CHANGES

The summer of 1913 was very dry in this part of the country The summer of 1915 SO far has been very wet The weather observers have been at work for years trying to find the eSplma- ton for sucn alternating seasons. But to this time there has been no con- sensus Of opinion.
 lf could be ascerlained that the weather followed Q certain cycle, that a certain number of dry years were followed in some sort of order by wet years. then the problem would be vast ly simplihed. But the cycles observed have not yielded profitable results.
 The elevenyear sun spot cycle is one that has been carefully studied. The effect of sun spots are easily de- tecled in the case of terrestrial mag netism and atmospheric electricity But the variations are small and while the effects on the weather have been traced in the number of tropi cal storms. the forecasters have not been able to make practical use of it. The present season, for instance, has been wet In part of the United States. dry in New York and New Eng land and unusually dry in Western Eprope
 A German observer has developed Ia sort or thirty-five-year cycle. based on general observations extending ov- CT two centuries of Western Europe The relatively warm years apear in thes groups: In 1746-l755, lS01-1S05 lS2l-1SS5. lS51-1S70 The relatively cold years were these. In 1731-1745. l756-179O. 1SO6-1S2O, lSSS-1S2O 1886. 1850. 1S71-1SS5. The wet and dry years have a different arrangement Here are the wet years: 17361765 1771-l7S0, 1SO6-lS25. 1S41-lS55, 1S7l- 1885. The dry years were: 17561770 17S1-1S05. 1S26-1S40. lS56-1S7O
 There is a good deal of variation between countries in these periods In some regions the cycles do moi hold good and there is much irregu larity in them. The period varies from 34 to S6 years.
 Attempts have been made also. Co find a connection between the suns relation period of 267 days and Che weather Occasionally what seemed to be a pronounced recurrence of the weather types in about that period had been observed. But most of thc time no connection is to be found
 There is a popular idea that the weather compensates for dry seasons with wet ones. and for cold seasons with hot ones. A long series of ob- servations in Berlin showed that slight probability existed there of the sort Of a recurrence of seasons. Mod erately mild winter and cool summer. very mild winter, warm summer; mod erately cold winter. cool summer, very cold winter very cool summer moderately warm summer. moder. ately wild winter; very warm sum mer. cold winter But here again the probability is so slight that 1t is im- possible to base long range forecasts on it.
 At present the best the weather observers can do is to observe devel- opments in air pressure and rain from day to day And the data and methods available do notp ermit ex- actness in many forecasts. particu- larly in an abnormal season. (Kan- sas City Star)

ROSARY TOTES QUOTES lNDUL
EENCE

The feast of the Most Holy Rosary
according to the new law of the Ro-
man Calendar falls this year on Thurs
day, October 9TH. The solemnity of
the feast is observed on the first Sun
day of October. Rubrics for the OBJ
servance of the solemnity are fully
explained in an article contained in
the January, 1914, number of the
American Ecclesiastical Review.
According to a decree of the S. G. r..
under Plus TX, August 9th. 1852, when
ever the solemnity of feast is trans
ferred, the indulgence of the feast can
be transferred to the day of solemn
ity. The faithful, therefore, after hav-
ing complied with the usual condi-
lions of Confession and Communion
can as usual gain the great indul-
gence of the Rosary in any church
where the Rosary Confraternity is es-
tablished, by visiting the Rosary Al
tar and praying for the intention of
the Holy Father and the welfare of
the church. This great privilege en-
ables them to gain plenary indul-
gence for each and every visit made
from noon of Saturday until midnight
of Rosary Sunday.

USE PAPER JARS FOR JELLY
Have Advantage Of Being More Easily
Packed Without Danger
Of Breaking.

The paper family. already so help.
full to the housewife, has a new mem.
Der included in it's circle-the paper
jelly glass. It is of parafln paper,
like the drinking cup, and comes in
several sizes, from two ounces to 16
ounces. The eight-ounce size costs
about Is cents dozen. The advan.
tage of the paper cup is that 1t can
be packed more easily without danger
of breaking and with less weight than
the heavy glass jars. Again. there
are many times when we want to give
a glass of jelly to friend and when
we do not like to ask for the return
Of the glass. Yet the cost of many
glasses is quite an item as contrasted
with the cost of the paper tumbler.
Also we often want to take Q glass
of jelly to a picnic and then we do
not want the weight and bother of q
heavy container. Here Is where the
paper cup has q distinct and perma-
nent place with the housewife.

CONVENT GIRLS.

Convent girls should come forth in
to the world possessing the great and
admirable power of sacrifice for the
benefit of the unfortunate, for the up.
lifting of humanity, the consoling and
saving of souls and the general spirit
of doing good. Woman's greatest or
nament is the power of her influence,
power for peace, power for order and
power for harmony. Girls gradual
ing should be common sense women
and leave their Alma Mater reflect
ing in their lives the intelligence, re-
finement. the virtues and devotion of
their nun-teachers. The finest type
of cultured Christian woman is the
one who pursued her course of studies
in our convent schools. At home,
convent graduates should not feel
themselves SO far elevated above the
rest of humanity as to despise their
parents and home surroundings.
They should be taught to 60 into the
kitchen, wash, iron, cook and make a
decent loaf of bread; and not to sit
constantly in the parlor, decked out
as morning rose, building castles
in the air. Academies should form
solid, virtuous and Christian women,
whose influence is incalculable, be-
cause the family. the basis of all or
ganized communities, can not be prop
erly built up without the aid of vir-
tuous and Christian women. Acad-
emies should not form society women,
the meanest cognomen that can be
attributed to woman. Public places
are not her sphere, but the home, her
sanctuary. The ambition OF women
should ever be the honorable title Of
the queen Of the home. Woman's mis-
sion on earth should not embrace
constant visiting, constant tea drink
ing, constant gossiping, constant
pleasure and theatre going. The mod
esty of our maidens, the sympathetic
role of sacrifice, the devotion of
mothers, strict obedience to the voice
of God and of the church, this is what
we want and what solid Christian edu-
cation will produce in our schools
