RICH ARE BECOMING POOR
Bishop Lawrence Says Wealthy Are
Setting Expenses Too Near
Limit Of Income.

Bishop william Lawrence In telling
Of his work in raising a 100000 pen
sion fund for the Episcopal clergy,
said during a sermon at Trinity church
that. besides n lesson for a more highly
organized church, he had found that
people with incomes Of from $4,000
to 100000, says a Boston dispatch TO
the Philadelphia Record, are now poor
or on the way to poverty.
"There IS a great tendency" he
stated, "for people to make their fixed
charges so high, with houses and ex'
penditures of all sorts, to set q pace so
near their income that when they reach
forty-fve or fifty years Of age they are
really poor people. Many with incomes
of from $4,000 to 100000 are today
poor or on the way TO poverty because
of these high fixed charges. They will
feel poorer than the mechanic who
has set his pace at only so per cent OF
his income"
Bishop Lawrence deplored a ten
dency of parents of wealth in limiting
the responsibility they allow their chill
dren in handling money.
"If children were brought up" he
said, "with allowances so as to be able
to give and save and expend proper
tlonately, then they would better I'M
derstand the use Of money later on"

"Pecky" Cypress Used For Building
Trim.

"Pecky" cypress is grade OF cypress
lumber in which the wood looks decayed,
because Of numerous holes filled with a
brown powder, but its appearance is
highly deceptive, for il is in reality one
OF the most decay resisting woods known
in this country After it is once cut from
the tree il does not change in character,
and as it reSstS all kinds OF atmospheric
and soil changes, it is much used in the
South for planking, foundation timbers,
fencing, railroad ties, farm buildings,
green houses, and cold frames. Now
the architects OF the North are beginning
10 discover its possibilities for artistic use
as exterior and interior trim.
Several rooms in one OF the largest
residences in Michigan have recently
been finished in peckY cypress with re-
markable erect, as may be seen in an IL
lustration in the January Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. The pecky wood ap-
pears TO be full OF holes, varying in width
from IA TO ga IN, these holes being
found in the heart wood of the tree only.
and then not until the trees have reached
an age of l25 years or thereabout.

RAIN NOT DUE TO GUNFIRE
Harvard Professor Explodes the
Theory That Heavy cannonadins OF
Battles Causes Precipitation.

Prof. Alexander Meade Of Harvard
has some interesting things to say re-
garding the possibilities Of man TO
control the water vapOts in the air.
He explodes the popular theory that
the heavy cannonading Of battles pro-
duces rain. Heretofore a great many
people have firmly believed that the
conclusion Of the heavy guns in firing
shells shock down the raindrops. 1t Is
true that volcanic eruptons may cause
rain, but it is not the noise but the
dust that is responsible. The dust par
ticles are cast high into the upper cur
rents Of the air and borne around the
earth at that height. They facilitate
condensation Of vapor and consequent
precipitation.
The volcano Krakatoa burst forth
once with particular intensity and I'M
doubtedly caused rain In remote parts
Of the globe.
"Gunfire would have to be on vast
" greater scale than is at present the
case to cause rain. And as for the at
tempts which have been made to pro-
duce rain by bombarding the clouds, 1t
is enough to say that the claims and
statements made by the experimenterS'
or shall we call them eXplolters, are
not supported by facts. 1t IS not es-
tablished that rain follows heavy bat
ties and excessive firing.
"Still 1t would be unwise to assert
that rain production Is beyond the pow
err of man. Furthermore, so much that
appeared to be fundamental and basic
in physics a few years ago has gone
by the board that the physicist Is TO
speak frankly, at sea regarding the
structure Of the atom. We may not
shut our eyes to the possibility of cleo
trical action In controlling the
combination or agglomeration OF NIL
mute particles. Stranger things have
happened than that man should find
q way to master the water vapor In
the free air; and. for example, to dis
sipate clouds and fogs."
