PLANETS AND OUR WEATHER
Despite Popular Belief There Is No
Connection Between Them.


That the planets and the moon have
an effect upon the weather on the
earth is common belief This belief
is baseleSs, for all changes Of weather
depend upon differences in tempera-
ture.
Rainfall is due to the accumulation
of water in the atmosphere. This Wa
ter can accumulate ouly by being evap-
Grated from the surface of the earth.
And evaporation requires heat. Winds
also are due to heat-greater warmth
in one place than in another causing
the air to rush toward where the warm
air is rising.
If the moon and the planets could
furnish heat they might affect the
weather. But the heat they furnish is
so infnitesimally small that it is not
enough to change the temperature an
appreciable fraction of a degree. The
amount Of heat they send us has actu-
ally been measured. but it needed the
most delicateIy sensitive Of instru-
ments to perceive it.
Another proof that neither the plan
cts nor the moon have any effect upon
our weather is that careful compari-
sons Of the weather with the positions
of the planets and the moon show that
there. is no relation between them. II
there were we should have the same
weather when the planets were in the
same position. which is not the case

FORMER GERMAN SECRETARY
WILL SOON RETURN HOME
Washington Has Been Somewhat En-
barrassed About Just How to
Treat kaiser'S Spokesman.

Washington, May 10.-Dr. Bernhard
Dernburg, former German colonial
secretary and known as unofficial
spokesman in this country for the
German cause, has voluntarily decided
to leave the United States, in view of
the critical turn in tie relations be-
tween this country and Germany.
This became known early today in
official quarters and later was con-
firmed at the German embassy. Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary Bryan had
been apprised informally through
Count van Bernstorff, the German am
bassador, of DR.. Dernburg's decision
before the news was generally known
in official circles.
Tie action Of DR.. Dernburg relieved
the president of an embarrassing stu
alton, for it is known that he strongly
disapproval of DR.. Dernburg's utter
ances attempting to justify tie sinking
of the Lusitania and officials consid-
cred examining the statutes of the
United States to determine what legal
methods might be invoked to end Dr..
Dernburg's activity. 1t was thought
best, Goweyer, first to intimate to
Count Won Bernstorff the feeling Of the
Washington government in the matter
to- ask him to request DR.. Deruburg
to leave. Ills was made unnecessary
by the decision of the former German
official to leave of his own initiative.
Although DR.. Dernburg had no Off
cial status, the United States govern
ment considered that willie relations
were strained between this country
and Germany, his speeches and ut
terances might influence some Germans
in America in sucn a way as might
conceivably affect the domestic well
fare of the American people. The fact
that DR.. Dernburg was once German
colonial secretary and began his activ-
ity with the outbreak Of the war, max
ing speeches aE1 issuing statements
on various phases of the war on be-
,Ealf of Germany, led officials here to
believe many Germans in America at
tached official WEIGHT to mis- utterances.
The president and mis- advisers have
observed with growing concern Dr.
Dernburg's activity, and when l1e
spoke in Cleveland and New York JUS
tifying the sinking of the Lusitania,
it was decided that his activities must
come to an end.
1t was stated at the German en-
bassy that an effort would be made to
obtain safe conduct at the state de-
partment for DR.. Dernburg so that he
would be immune from detention at
sea by the British Or the French. 1t
is believed he will sail on an American
ship for Holland on his way to Ger
many and officials do not believe any
negotiations with tie British or French
governments will be necessary, as the
United States has neld during the pres
ent war, as well as in the past, that
persons even of belligerent nationality
can not be removed from neutral ships.
