LOCAL THUNpERsToRMs.
"Heat'' Thunderstorms Dincult to Forecast-Caused by Atmospheric
 Conditions Over Small Territory.

One afternoon a short time ago, a. thunderstorm with quite a heavy downpour of rain occurred over a portion of a certain county in the west. The shower had not been fore cast by the weather bureau, and few days later a letter of complaint was received, the writer stating that the storm had ruined a considerable acreage of cut alfalfa that had been allowed to- lie out to cure, the weather forecast had said nothing about showers.
 Be that as it may. the science and art of weather forecasting never have been and never will be reduced to the basis of absolute certainty. The very operation of the natural laws of the universe preclude this, and with no type of weather is this inn possibility of exact forecasting more in evidence than in the case of thun- derstorms.
 The forecasting of general thunder storms over large areas is not so diff f1cult, as these generally occur when, after a heated period, a, large area of 1 high barometric pressure with a pro- !nounced fall in tenn perature follows the heated period, bringing with it thunderstorrns and later a cool and clear period of at least several days duration.
 But there are other thunderstorms. occurring during periods of abnormal heat, that are caused by excessive air convection-that is, by the upward movement of air masses that are un- duly heated by contact with the warm earth. These are carried upward to such an elevation that they become cooled to an extent that lowers the temperature of the warm air masses below the temperature of condensation and rain therefore occurs.
 These heat thunderstorrns are frequently very local in character, as certain portions of the earth's sur face become hotter than others, and consequently a heat thunderstorm often occurs in one locality, whereas 1 only a few miles, or even a shorter distance, away there will be none at all It is not an infrequent occur renee to have a, severe thunderstorm over one portion of large city while

HORsEFLIEs.
Transmit the Dangerous Disease Known as Anthrax--Protectto
 of Live Stock Difficult.

FIorseflies are not only a serious annoyance to live stock in many sec lions of the United States, but are frequently agents in transmitting the disease known as anthrax, or charbon,
 which is extremely fatal not only to various kinds of animals but to man as we'll It has been proved in exper1- naents that horseflies. as well as the stable fly, carry this disease. In par ticular observations in the plateau region of west Texas furnish 1mpor- tant evidence that the horsefly is re- snonsible in some degree for the spread of this disease to healthy ami mals This fact it should be said, does not in any way lessen the nec- essity for the other measures or con trolling anthrax, such as the burning of carcasses and preventive 1nocula- ton. In fact, large numbers of horse flies have been observed feeding on animals which had either just died or were about to die from anthrax At this time the blood is known to be filled with the germs of the disease.
 This emphasizes the, importance or isolating sick animals and destroying the carcasses immediately after death.>
 i Even, however, when the horsefly plays no part in the spread of an thrax, it may cause severe loss or
 stock. The worry caused by the flies
 bites frequently causes animals to cease feeding and to group themselves together for mutual protection. When the pest is more than usually abun- dant nervous animals are sometimes
 driven frantic and injure themselves 1 in various ways. Furthermore, the loss of blood due to the attacks of
 the fly may be very serious. Scien- lists in the department have studied
 cases in which it was estimated that 1 in the course of a single day several
 hundreds of flies gorged themselves
 with blood from one animal In ad-
 dition to the blood drunk by the flies,
 much was lost by trickling out of the wounds made by the insects
 The adult horsefly is equipped with
 such a formidable biting apparatus
 that it is difncult to protect stock
 from it's attacks. Any substance which will repe1 them effectually is 1 likely to injure the animal to which l it Is applied. A preparation which
 will, however. give some temporary ! degree of protection consists of l gal

DECIMAL SYSTEM l. OF COINAGE FOR
 ENGLAND SOUGHT

London, Aug. 12.-Proposals to es- tablish a decimal system of coinage in Great Britain are again receiving attention in the newspapers. The lat est advpcates are soldiers returning from France who have become accus- toned to Athe decimal system in use there, and have quickly recognized it's advantage.
 The proposal most generally en- dorsed in England is that the farthing be made the basis of, the new system. There is already a coin of this denorn- fnation in use in England, it's value being one-fourth of a penny, or about half of an American cent. It is pro posed to make one hundred farthings equal to one horin (the common two shilling piece of English coinage, equivalent to 50 cents American). This involves only a trifing change from the present system, whereby 96 far things make one dorin.
 Under the proposed system the units of money would be:
 100 farthings make on horin.
 10 horins make one pound.
 The shilling would thus become an intermediate coin. representing 50 far things, and the six-pence a similar in termediate coin, representing 25 far things.

HOLLAND BOOSTS STANDING ARMY
 BY NEW ORDERS

The Hague, Netherlands. Aug. 12- By the adoption of the landstrum bill on July 30 the total number of trained soldiers in Holland will be increased eventually to approximately 550,O00 instead of 330 ,000 who are now under arms.
 The bill provides for the calling up of men who hitherto have been re- leased from. service. These include certain categories of students; those who are supporting families and those who have been relieved from military duty because they have brothers all ready serving.
 The yearly class of military age averages about z58, ,O0O of which only 23, 900 are incorporated in the army.
 Ofthe 35,0oO who escape service IT. .0oo are regarded as physically unfit and Is, 900 are relieved for causes above mentioned.
 The new law calls systematically to the co1ors those men who were for merly relieved. The youngest class which is due to present itselef in 1915 will be incorporated immediately for four months training. At the same time an equal number of the oldest
 men who have been serving since mobilization will be sent to their homes. Thus the army actually with the cofods will remain at the same strength as now. Men liable, who were not called up in 1914, will be called up for a similar period after the 1915 class has completed it's course aand the next oldest class of men will be automatically relieved: Then will follow the class of 1913 and other classes in order until all it men up to 30 years of age have received military I training. The whole $50, ,OO0 will be available for immediate mobilization in the event of the country being en- dangered-
 Formerly the number of men reliev- ed from military service was greater than. averaging for the last 0 years of g., g 0e yearly. so the total increase in the number of trained men is expected |. to reach about 220, ,O00.
 | 4 It was originally intended that the
 measure should include all men up to
 40 but strong opp position caused the government to change it's plan in this l respect.

lon of fish oil, 1 ounce oil of tar, and 1 ounce of oil of pennyroyal. This may be sprayed on work animals with advantage, but the use of sprays is practically impossible in the case of range stock Bulletin No. 1S1 of the Department of Agriculture, which may be obtained from the Superin- tendent of-Documents, Washington, D. C., for cents, deals with this question of repelIents.
 Another method which has the ad-' vantage of simplicity is to provide sheds which furnish rather dense shade and into which live stock may go when the pests are most trouble some. Horseflies do not enter these sheds readily and the stock will ob- tain some relief. For very valuable stock or for young calves fly-proof cages are sometimes constructed and the animals placed in these during the middle of the day when the flies are the worst. Such a screened cage is very desirable as a means of iso- lating animals suspected of anthrax After diseased animal has been in it. the cage should always be disin-
 Most of the species of horseflies breed in swampy places. For this reason the numbers of the flies de- crease with the clearing up and cu1ti- vation of marshy areas. This of course IS a very SLOW measure or re- lief, and investigators have found that the process may be hastened by
 placing a film of kerosene on the sur face of pools of water. All adult flies l that strike the 'kerosene are destroy ed. This system of control is valuable i chiefly in regions where there are
 comparatively few pools of water or
 in wooded areas where certain pools are observed to be especially attrac- tive to the flies.
 The adult fly frequently deposits its eggs on the leaves of water, but
 in west Texas it has been found that the eggs are usually deposited on rocks sticking out of running water.
 When first deposited the eggs are a1- most white, but they soon turn al- most black, or in other cases, an ash gray The minute larvae or rnaggots
 hatch in g. few days and drop off into the water or mud. When full grown they change into the pupa1 resting
 stage and a few weeks after emerge
 as adult flies. Most of the specis eof
 horseflies require nearly year to
 complete this life cycle, and there
 is usually but one generation annual
 ly- There are a large number of diff I ferent species, however, each of ] which shows minor differences. One 'of the most important groups is

FRENCH POUR IN
 THEIR GOLD FOR BIG RESERVE FUND

Paris,s Aug. 12.-One hundred and eighteen millions of francs in gold was exchanged for bank bills at the Bank of France, its branches and other es- tabushnents authorized to receive it in the last few weeks. To provoke this influx of gold no more was required than the statement of the Minister of Finance that French citizens could show their patriotism by helping in crease the gold reserve of the Bank of France as well as by fighting in the trenches.
 The first week produced 13 millions, the second 40 millions. and the third 65 millions. To what sunNthese exchanges are likely to mount no one risks a guess, the movement is reaching such Formidable proportions without official 1nsistehce or pressure of any sort Judging by the comprehensive charac- ter or the multitude that crowds the windows at which gold is received, l, there will be little left in the safe de- posit vaults, in the wooIen sock or in the chiId's. savings bank when the pro cession has finally passed. There is an estimated net total of coined or coin- able gold of eight billion 500 million francs in France at the present mo- meIlt.
