WAR HAS NO EFFECT
ON WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Bureau Experts Refute
Theories Held BY Anctents and
Moderns.

Washington, p. C., Sept. There
is nothing in It, says the United states
Weather bureau to repeated inquiries
as to whether the war affects rainfall
or any other weather conditions. There
is a popular fallacy that conclusions.
explosions. and the liberation OF gases
in the European conflicts is having
an effect on the weather. not only
over the hattlefields. but elsewhere on
the globe. but 1t is only a fallacy. say
the weather specialists of the United
States department of agriculture, even
though 1t has existed almost since
the beginning of historic times.
Refose the gunpowder was used, the
ancients had an idea that battles pro-
duced rainfall. which was caused by
the clash of swords and the sweat of
the fighters.
Later, the same theory was trans
ferred to the noise produced by
musketry and artillery: later still, to
dust particles and smoke from burn
ing powder, upon which the moisture
in the air was supposed to be con-
densed and to fall as rain, and to the
gases freed by explosions, and liberat-
ed In the new chemical warfare.
These theories are not combated
merely by other theories, but by ac
tual observations made officially by
several OF the beIligerent governments.
and the net result OF these careful
observations is TO refute the idea OF
any effect of war on weather.

and 1t struck the crown of his straw
hat.
Instinctively he threw UP his hand
in which he was carrying an umbrella
to save his hat from falling and as
he did this the steel ferrule came in
contact with the wire. Mr.. Taylor re-
membered nothing else. He believes
that the fact that he held the UNI

that saved him from death.

titled.

EASY TO figure OUT
| YOUR INCOME TAX
Table Of Rates Given Out by Ways
and Means Committee
Makes II Clear.

Washington. Sept. 1.-Every per-
son who is called upon to pay an in

how much he will have to pay under
the new rates adopted by the ways
ana means COMMITTEES for the $1,000
100000 revenue bill. The final cor
rections In the scale Of rates for the
'supertaxes were made today and they
are given herewith.
Some confusion has been caused by
the publications eff rates which were
not those that the committee adopt
ed. but the following rates for super
taxes are correct:
On that portion of the income be-
tween $1,000 and $500, 2 per cent !;
$4,000 to $4,000. 3 per cent. $40, 900
TO $4,000 Z per cent; $4,000 to
100000. 10 per cent; $4,000 to $780,
goo. Is per- cent; $50. 600 to $40. 600,
per cent: $4,000 to $4,000, 80 per
cent: $4,000 to $4,000, So per cent. :;
$1,000 to $4,000. 40 per cent; $780,
900 to $$90.00ns IS per cent; $50 900
Ito 100000. 4S per cent
The rates of incomes above $780,
600 have not been finally passed upon
but they will be fixed by the time the
bill Is ready for introduction in the
house next Tuesday.
Under these rates an income of
100000 year will pay total tax Of
S2s,215; on income OF $4,000 will
pay $12.s15; an income of $4,000 will
pay $2,575, and an income Of $40. 900
will pay 1865.
A married man without children
earning $4,000 year will pay Sl20
to the government as a tax on his in
come. He will pay only under the
normal tax rate OF IL per cent. which
In his case would be only per cent.
because on all incomes up to $4,000
only one-hah of the normal rate, or
s per cent, Is to be collected
The supertaxes do not begin until
the $4,000 incomes are reached.
Hence, to figure out what the total
tax on $4,000 income for a mar
rted man without children would be
the calculation would be accomplished
in this manner.
Six per cent. on the first $4,000 less
the $4,000 exemption, or $4,000. max
ing the tax $40. IL per cent on the
amount above $4,000 and not in ex-
cess OF $4,000, or $1,000, s720; 2 per
cent on the amount in excess OF
$4,000 and not over 1880, or $4,000
$50: per cent. on the amount in eS-
cess of $4,000 and not over $4,000
$4,000, SIS, making total of all these
amounts OF 1865.
