How and Why Il Rains.

Rain il an accumulation Of the tiny
particles OF the vapor Of the atmosphere
into drops. These drops. first small OF
size, attract others Of their kind and
become drops Of such magnitude that
they fall TO the earth because OF their
weight. There is limit TO the quan.
tity Of water which the air is capable
OF absorbing aud rctaining us Invisible
vapor Warm air is able TO hold more
than cold air; hence when the air which
Is saturated with moisture becomes
cold for any reason whatever II can no
longer retain its moisture. A portion
must under such condition accumulate
into drops. These fall to the earth In
the shape Of rain.

ProWIerS Has Been Aban-
doned by Allied Nations.
SPEED OF VESSELS IS
HELD BEST PROTECTION
Forty Thousand Suggestions
for Combating Submarines
Have Been Considered by.
u, S, Naval Committee.

Au' NONNNNo JOURNAL 6PtGlAL NtNHl
Washington, Nov. l3.--Important
progress has been made in the prob
lem of locating submarines, after
which their destruction is compara-
lively simple matter, Secretary DAN
iels said today in a statement discuss
ing the forty thousand separate sug-
gestions, plans or models of devices
board since the United States entered
the war against Germany.
THE idea that the submarines will
be overcome by miraculous inven-
ton is not now seriously considered"
the secretary said. The more inti-
mate knowledge the civilian obtains
on this subject, the more convinced
he is that the submarine can be con
quered by persistently hunting him
down by the weapon of which he is
most afraid. This Is the armed serv-
ice boat, equipped with all the latest
scientific devices and typified in the
modern torpedo boat destroyer.
Foreign Navies Approve.
Foreign naval authorities have
frankly stated their admiration of the
degree of perfection of American de-
signs.
I'm regard to the protection of
ships against torpedo attacks, the un-
deniable evidence of recent months of
submarine activity had demonstrated
that the immunity of vessel depends
very largely on its speed and maneu-
yering ability. There is a possibility
that some artificial means of pro-
tecting cargo-carrying vessels may be
found practicable. In no other field
have SO many suggestions or SO many
duplicate inventions been presented
to the board"
All of the 10000 suggestions sub
mitted have received careful consider
alton, Mr.. Daniels said, and much val
liable aid has been given to various
branches of the war service. Many
proposals, however. have been found
10 be impractical, largely due to the
failure of inventors properly to in
form themselves of certain funda-
mental principles.
The naval consulting board and the
navy department have had prepared
and are giving free distribution to
pamphlets which give general infor-
nation to inventors that they may
avoid acting upon misconception as to
fundamental principles with conse-
quent waste of effort

its first answer today when the build

With the American Army in
France, Nov. 13, (by the Associated
Press )-American army aviators have
participated in bombing raids over
Germany and have been doing obser-
walton duty at various points of the
battle line
The aviators are officers of the regu
lar army, some of whom had been fly
ing before the United Sttaes entered
the war. Others of them are men who
have been on duty at training CEN
tiers.
On the bombing raids the Ameri-
cans have been carried In French
planes as bombers and observers and
have been gaining wealth of ex-
perience, which in the future will as
.sist them, as well as the new members
of the air service who are arriving or
are 20 arrive,
~ 10 on Several Raids.
Some of the Americans were in sew
eral recent raids in which bombs were
dropped on German positions of mill
tary Importance. In observation work
the Americans have been acting both
as observers and pilots, flying in
French machines. This work has been
done at many points, but none of the
machines carrying American aviators
has flown over the sector where the
American troops are entrenched.
Numbers of French machines have
been turned over to the Americans for
their own use, but thus far none of
them has been engaged in aerial fight
ing of importance. No casualties
among the American airmen have
been reported, although enemy aero
planes have fired heavily upon them.
Praised by Allies.
The allied officers are enthusiastic
over the work of the young flyers
and are of the unanimous opinion that
they are combining the daring of the
British flyers and the technique of
the French airmen. All the operations
In which Americans took part have in
a measure been in the nature of in
struction.
