THUNDERSTORMS PUT
WEATHER MAN AT SEA.
Admitted He Can't 6auge Antics Of
Elements With Accuracy.

The weather bureau is up against II
when il comes TO predicting local
thunderstorms. il freely admits in an
article in recent News Letter Of the
Department of Agriculture, Washing
ton. d. c.
The article also answers several
other questions worrying residents
who suffer from heat, notably why
heat" thunderstorns offer no perma-
nent relief from the heat. The sci
ence and art Of weather forecasting
never have been and never will be re-
iuced to the basis OF absolute certain
ty." emphatically declares the writer
IN the News Letter.
The writer endeaveOrs to answer the
complaint of an irate alfalfa grower
IN a certaia comfy in hte West, who
complained that a thunderstorm had
ruined a considerable acreage Of cut
alfalfa that had been allowed 10 lie
out to cure. as the weather forecast
had said nothing about showers
The very operation of the natural
laws OF the universe precludes this,
Il continues, flooring the alfalfa grow
er ct al, with one powerful blow.
"And with no type of weather in this
impossibility of exact forecasting more
in evidence than in the case of thun-
derstorms. The forecasting Of gem
eral thunderstorms over large areas
is not so difficult. as these generally
occur when. after a heated period. a
large area of high barometric pressure
with a unprouounced fall in tempera-
ture follows the heated period bring
ing with it thunderstorms and later
cool and clear period OF at least sew
eral days duration.
But there are other thunderstorms
occurring during periods Of abnormal
heat, that are caused by excessive aiI
| convection-that is. by the upward
movement Of air masses that are un-
duly heated by contact with the warm
| earth. These arec arried upward &c
| such an elevation that they become
| cooled by expansion to an extent thai
| lowers thetemperature of the warn
| air masses below the temperature o.
condensation, rain therefore occure.
These heat thunderstorms are fre
| quenuy very local in character. as Ger.
tain portions of the earth's surface be
come hotter than others, and conse
quently a heat thunderstorm offer
occurs in one locality, whereas only
few miles or even a shorter distance
away there will be none at all II i,
not an infrequent occurrence to have
severe thunderstorm over one portion
of a large city while over the Others
there will be none.
1t should also be added that thes,
heat thunderstorms are usually fol
lowed by quick return to the sam,
heated conditions that preceded them
Indicating a merely temporary disturb
ed atmosphere without prospects of
permanent relief until the appearanc,
OF such a cool, high pressure area a.
has been mentioned above"

false pride. TOO much anxiety lest an

blame for the war. He contrasted the
different natlonalities represented in the
conflict with the conclusion that war
was inevitable,
