out of all casual recognition, yet never
quite parts from Its original, has a
fascination all its own. Lisbon is a
very ilrst-class example. No one. Off
hand. would think of connecting the
name with Ulysses, and yet your ety.

connects 1t without apparent difficulty.

that Lisbon owes its origin to Ulysses.

Forecastino Storms.

BY means of what is believed to be
q new scientific discovery, it is claimed
that weather forecasts may be made
with reasonable accuracy two weeks
in advance.
AS result Of research, conducted
by a former chief of the weather bu.
reau and a representative Of the
Smithsonian institution, 1t has been
found that there are riffs in the up
per clouds of the solar atmosphere
which cause a variation in the amount
of heat radiated to the earth. 1t is
said the investigators have discovered
the period of time between the pas
sage of heat rift in the solar at
mosphere and the appearance OF re-
sulting storms on the earth.
1t Ias been found that at times
these heat riffs persist for several
months and that they have produced
corresponding disturbances here.
