QUAINT TRADITION
SAYS 40 DAYS OF RAIN

The tradition is, that upon the
death of st. SWithin, his body was, by
his request, buried in the churchYard
among the poor, instead OF IN MS
cathedral. Years afterwards, his ad-
mirers proposed to transfer the re-
mains of the saint to the cathedral
and deposit them under the high al
tar, with solemn ceremonies. This
wa to be done on the fifteenth day
of July, the day set apart to the SAINT
in the calendar, but he 80 strongly
disapproved of the proceeding, that he
sent a tremendous rain which contin-
ued for forty days, until the project
was abandoned; ever since Whsen
time, the weather is supposed to be
regulated for the next forty days, by
the weather ON St. Swithin's day. The
Scotch have put it in the form of .
proverb, thus:
est. Swithin's day, if it do rain,
For forty days it will remain,
st. swithins day, and be it fair,
For forty days twill rain ma mair. ="

Unoficial information from Mexico
City has been to the effect that Luis
Cabrera, Mexican minister OF finance,
would head the Mexican membership
of the commission.
Gen. Carranza'S 5 reply is not expect
ed for several days and officials here
do not believe the commission can be-
gin sessions for two weeks at least.
The state department will insist that
the meeting be held within the United
States as the question is not media
ton
The proposal to widen the scope Of
he subjects to be discussed is viewed
in administration circles as an eX-
tremely important aspect of the situa-
ton.
Mr.. Arredondo issued today a sum
mary of his advices from Mexico City
saying that 10000 Carranza troops
were closing in upon Villa and his fol-
lowers in southern Chihuahua and
that destruction of the bandit COM
mand was certain. It is the first Off

OPPRESSIVE HEAT WAVE
DESCENDS UPON COUNTRY
Worst in years, Combining High
Temperatures and Humidity, Gov
ers United States as Result OF
High Pressure in Bermuda.

Washin ston, July 27.-A "Bermud,
high" is the official cause of the worst
heat wave that has enveloped the
country in Is years. This means a
great area of high pressure has been
mobilizing on the weather drill
grounds in the Atlantic off Bermuda
for the last month and now has let
go the full power of its offensive
from the seaboard to the Rocky
Mountains.
Now as it swirls rapidly along it
is gathering heat and moisture from
the tropics and sweeping them north
ward over the continent into a vacuum
of socalled Glow pressure areas"
Although it's greatest intensity has
not yet struck the Pacific coast it is
expected to do so within the next few
days.
No relief is promised from the
phenomena which in the East have
caused syeltering city dwellers to
light fires in their homes to dry out
the humidity. or which in the Missis-
sippi valley is threatening to destroy
millions of dollars worth Of food
crops. Chief Norecaster Frankenfeld
said today that the heat wave only
has begun.
It is certain to continue through
the week and probably longer. None
of the conditions essential to break
up yet are evident. The relief which
often comes from the northwest is
nowhere in sight,
/. During all this month, Forecaster
Frakenfeld say, the huge body of
high pressure atmosphere has been
gathering over the westehn Atlantic
from Florida to NeWfoundland and
east to the Azores. Il is very heavy
in weight and thick in dimensions.
Heavy air always flows to place oc-
cupied by Light air but unfortunately
there is at present an area of light
air in the tropics. When the heavy
air arrives there itfnds there is still
lighter air. over the continent. So it
moves north in an enormous sweep

aid this humidity over all the con-
tinental United States in what officials
call the Bermuda high"
The air in the Middle West is be-
coming much heavier and it may form
a focal centre where the air currents
will clash in series Of thunder
storms affording speedy relief through
a readjustment of the areas of high
pressure

-anz, vas informed tonight in note
handed 20 his ambassador here that
t.-a Warrington government is pre-
pared to submit to joint interna-
tional commissin the task of seeking
a solution of border problems.
The proposal OF the de facto gov

sion be assembled at some point in the

Would Extend Scope.

"In reply l have the honor to state
that l have laid your excellencys note
before the president and have received
instructions to inform your excel
lency that the government of the
United States is disposed to accept
the proposal of the Mexican govern
ment in the same spirit of frank cor.
diality in which it is made. This gov
ernment believes and suggests, how
ever, that the powers of the proposed
commission should be enlarged so
that, if happily a solution satisfactory
to both governments of the question
set forth in your excellency's COM
munication may be reached, the com
mission may also consider such other
matters, the friendly arrangements of
which would tend to improve the re-
lations of the two countries, it being
understood that such recommends
tions as the commission may make
shall not be binding upon the respec-
tive governments until formally &C
cepted by them.
"' Should this proposal be accepted
by your excellency's government,
have the honor to state that this gov
ernment will proceed Immediately to
appoint it's commissioners and fix,
after consultation with your excel
lency's government, the time and
place and other details of the propos-
ed conferences.

ances of my highest consideration.
'tsFrank L. Polk,
"sActing Secretary Of State"
To Await Reply.
Appointment of the American COM
missinoners will await Gen. Carranza's s
reply. If he approves the suggestion
that the scope of the commissions de-
liberations be enlarged as desired by
the United States, it is expected his
note will be accompanied by authori-
zation to Mr.. Arredondo to confer
with Mr.. Polk as to the time and pia~s
of the meeting.
President Wilson is understood to
have at least a score of men under
consideration for appointment as com
missioners. Among them are Chief
Justice White. Mai. Gen. Goethals
Frederick Lehman, former solicitor
general, and Louis Brandeis, associate
justice of the supreme court. 1t was

From time ,n1mennorial, too, efforts a have been almost universal to find some ways and means for predicting probable future weather If we could only know what the weather was go- ing to be for the season, we could - know what to plant and when to plant it. Perhaps quite as important, we could know what not to plant.
