TRICKY PEACE TALK.

"A German peace is still the peace of the

But the atmosphere is 50 delicate
in its adjustments. and so subject TO
local influences which tend TO mask
the greater and more fundamental
efforts, that extreme care has 10 be
taken TO disentangle the complicated
facts. Local and general absorption
OF solar radiations by the air must
be studied and allowed for. and
some of the instruments used by the
investigators excel in ingenuity and
sensitiveness any of the wonderful
implements Of destruction employed
i'm war. For instance. the boiometer
used TO detect differences of radiant
energy can measure down to the
hundred-thousandth Of degree
cenugrade.
The great difficulty is TO correla5e
the solar changes with correspond
ing general changes in the tempera-
ture on the earth. since such
changes are masked by many cir
cumstances, but it is already known
that the radiation of the sun some
times gains or loses several per cent
in the course Of a few days or
weeks, and periods Of unusual cold
or heat have thus been traced 10
their primary source.

Studying the Sun to Learn
Weather Secrets
BY GARRETT p. sERvIss.

While the attention of the Who'll
world is centered upon war, with its
destruction of human life and of
the Accommodations Of human labor,
a few devoted students Of science
continue uninterruptedly their eff
forts TO advance knowledge for the
common benefit Of all peoples. An
example is afforded by the recent
establishment! by the Smithsonian
institution of a new station for tho
study Of the suns radiation. on the
summit of Hump mountain in North
Carolina, at an elevation of 4,SOC
feet.
This station is TO cooperate with
the one that has for more than 10
years been in operation on Mount
Wilson in California. The practice
object Of these studies is 10 promote
forecastins Of the weather
This is 10 be done not by watch
inc clouds, but by measuring
changes in the radiation of the sun
Very few persons who are unfamil-
lar with science seem to cOmpre-
bend what is implied by the state
ment of the fact that the sun is a
variable star. II people in general
understood that fact there would not
be so many foolish speculations
about an imaginary influence OF the
war operations in Europe upon the
state of the weather all over the
world

NORWAY ANGERED
AT CRIMES OF
TEUTON PLOTTERS
Conspirators and Spies Over
run Neutral Country With
Pernicious Activities

Christiania, Sept. 29-German con-
spirators, spies and propagandists
formly so active in the United States
seems to have transferred their at
tention to Normay. A series of suspic-
ious fires in steamships and manu-
factories is blamed on the plotters
Others are charged with helping in
termed German sailors to escape
Espionage is freely engaged in and
some Germans have been caught al
it and sent to Jail. Propagandists for
many months have been trying to
spread a thick layer of propagandism
over the country.
Every day pIotters of some as
sault against Norwegian institutions
citizens or property are brought TO
light and even if they all do not prove
to be of the same proportion as the
Baron Rautenfels bomb plot"
they at least prove the pernicious
activities of the Germans in a neu-
trail country.
The situation has become such
that patriotic Norwegians have come
to look upon every German with
more or loss suspicion. This falling
is the result primarily, of the ad-
missions made by two German spies,
Captain Lowen and Petty Officer
Schwartz, who were tried, convicted
and sentenced to five and four years,
respectively, in the penitentiary. They
said no matter how they felt about
the matter, German must do any,
thing he was ordered to do by Ber-
lin.
