At least one company wrote policies

nearly similar. OF course flood and
earthquake are out of consideration.
Riot is well defined in law In no case

the present administration holds the
Mexican government responsible FOR the

Editor ii Paso Herald:
Throughout its history the weather
bureau has been called upon from time
to time to caution the general public
AGAINST the too credulOus belief IN al
legged new systems for forecasting the
weather for weeks or months IN adj
vance, or in schemes for the artificial
production OF rain. the prevention OF
hail. and other proposals to control or
modify atmospheric phenomena or TO
forecast them a long time in advance
The latest misrepresentation OF this
character now being presented TO the
people Of the country in the columns OF
the daily press is an alleged new syS-
tenn Of long range weather forecasting
said 10 be based on the ritts and
spottedness OF the sun and its shafts Of
solar radiation.
During the past several years the
weather bureau has received, in the
form of letters, circulars, diagrams,
and blue prints, full specifications con-
corning all essential details OF this al
legged new system Of forecasting. The
socalled discovery is fully known to the
weather bureau and has received fair
and impartial study and examination
by its scientific staff Moreover. 9TH
er scientists Of international reputa-
ton now connected with the strongest
institutions I'm the world engaged in
astronomical research and conducting
Investigations in solar and terrestrial
physics have also passed upon these
new theories. These authorities are in
accord that the deductions and conclu-
sions drawn from the solar conditions
on which the new system is based are
unwarranted. Solar phenomena Of the
kind described do not have any direct
influence upon the weather at any par
ticular time and place, and therefore
can not be made the basis Of weather
forecasting.
