There no longer is doubt that
violent volcanic erupuons throw
into the upper air vast quantities
OF dust particles which. by swiftly
moving easterly currents in the

but 20 modify the weather.
During the past two or three
years all OF those who have en-
joyed the privilege OF living much
IN the open viewed the marvellous
beauty OF the eastern and the
western sky at sunrise and at
sunset. II is safe to say that
these phenomena are due to the
eruption Of Katmai. in the Alas
kan Peninsula. in 1912. augmented
by volcanic explosions in Japan in
1913. Since these times the tenn
perature OF the earth has been
below the normal. and we may ex-
pect the dust TO exercise a
waning but an apprecisble IN
fluence for at least another year.
This does not mean that there
will not be temporary heat spells
like the one OF the past month,
which began during the first week
and lasted until abolt the Goth.

including the South Atlantic

the air were free of volcanic dust.
In this as In many other in
stances the prophetic vision OF
the sreat Franklin is shown. In
1884 he wrote with respect to
volcanic dust. and asked IL the
marked severity OF the winter
which then had just passed might
not be due to smoke thrown into
the upper air by the eruption OF
Mount Heckla. in Iceland. the pre-
ceding summer. aud whirlcd
around the world.
The idea. then. that volcanic
dust may be an important factor
in the production OF weather or
climatic changes is not new. But
the absorption OF the suns rays
by volcanic dust. through which
means many have assumed that
the earth's temperature might
be lowered. would in reality pro-
duce warming instead of a cooling
OF the earth's surface.
To understand the philosophy
OF this interesting phenomenon,
one must know that the atmos-
phere is divided into the tropos-
phere and the stratosphere. In

NO doubt this would be a highly sat

wall street interests that bought

cents on the dollar and have been

earth until gravity. overcoming
the viscosity of the atmosphere,
by slow degrees pulls IL down 90
the storm stratum below. This
descent may require two or three
years. and some of the minutest par
ticles must ascend TO attitudes OF
nifty miles or more and remain
aloft several years longer.
II is apparent. then. that to
reach safe conclusion we have
only to determine the effect Of
this dust on such OF the wave
lengths OF incoming solar energy
as are transmutable into heat.
and its effect on the outgoing
heat waves from the earth. The
result is not the same in both
cases. In fact IL is known to be
determined by the ratios that
subsist between the size of the
PARTICLES and the wave lengths
that fall upon them. the same
PARTICLES being nearly Opaque TO
the passage of the short heat
waves from the sun and nearly
transparent TO the longer out
going earth waves. The effect is
TO lower earth temperatures. as
there is but little interference
with the loss OF heat from the
earth and much is reflected back
to space that otherwise would
come in. II the order of things
were reversed so as to give TO the
suns rays the longest wave
length. then the presence of I'M
usual qualities of dust in the air
would result in increasing the
temperature OF the earth, IL not
actually rendering II uninhabit-
able for all forms OF life.
While Chief of the United
States Weather Bureau / had Pro
fessor w. J. Humphreys make an
examination of the recorded facts
relative TO volcanic action and to
chart contemporaneous earth tenn
peratures. His research shows
that cold weather followed all the
important eruptions since 1850.
which covers the period for which
there are suitable records. We
are. therefore. justified in expect
ing that all future eruptions. vio-
lent enough to send dust aloft
. into the stratosphere above
storms. will have a similar effect.
and that agriculture and many
other industries will profit by the
foreknowledge thus gained.

PRIMARY DISCREDITED.

The Statewide primary method OF
nominating candidates for office has
again shown fits weakness in the frauds
perpetrated in the recent election in
Allegheny county. Pennsylvania. The
advocates Of the primary system have
been vociferous I'm their claims of the
protection IL affords to the expression
Of the will OF the majority. and the
freedom from the manipulat ton OF ron
ventions by which the minority is rem
dered voiceless. The developments in
the recount OF certain districts in Al
legheny county show that none Of
these rights were any better safe
guarded by the primary than the for
mer methods of making nominations.
In one district the ballots were found
TO have been burned. the box locked.

At any rate. the disclosures show that

cient instrument that Il IL claimed 10
be. and that the popular will stands
just as good a show in the convention
as IL does IN the primary. II not a bet

CONGREGATIONAL COUNCIL
ENDS ITS SESSIONS
Meetings at New Haven Have Made
New Record for Attendance.


The biennial meeting Of the national
council of Congregational churches
ended at New Haven on Wednesday.
In the opinion OF clergymen and
.aymen alike. the meetings this year
have been the largest in point of at
tendance in the councils history. and
the delegate body has been fully az
flarge as in any previous year.
An incident during the afternoon on
Wednesday came after Tim Deludamo.
a native from the Gilbert Islands, and
probably the first South Sea Islander
TO ever appear before a board meeting,
had made an address in English. in
which he appealed for money with
which to pay for printing the Bible in
the Nauru tongue. A delegate rose to
propose n collection for this purpose,
but President Moore said that as the
board had accepted the hospitality OF
was rot permissible. This also pre-
vented later a collection 70 raise the
debt for the board.
Deludamo. who Is % years old,
speaks -seven languages Of Micronesia,
besides German. which was compul-
sory on the island OF Nauru. and Eng
| lish learned in the German school, He
has been brought here TO read proof
