Minutes-Danser After Every Rain.

Iowa City, July IA warning from,
the state water bacteriologist cautions
all persons using water from wells to
boil or disinfect it before drinking.
"Recent rains" Miss 'Zelma zentmire,
water expert declares, have brought
the level of the ground water abnor-
mally high and even wells that are
usually safe are now in great danger
Of being polluted.
Miss Zentmire states that the ma
5ority Of samples sent TO the university
OF Iowa within the past two weeks for
examination are from wells which are
markedly affected by heavy rains and
often from wells where the water
stands within ten feet Of the surface.
The rains Of the last month have caus-
ed the water to pass thru the soil, too
rapidly or for too short a distance to
insure proper publication. If ground
water is not purified by passage thru
the soil, IL must be cleansed by artifi-
cial methods.
Natural publication Of the water,
Miss Zentmire declares, can not be ex-
pected to have taken place when the
depth Is noticeably increased after a
heavy rain, when the water is tempo
rarily turbid after rains, or when the
level is SO high that passage thru the
ground may be for distance of less
than ten feet
TO remove all danger the water bac-
terioIogist suggests that the water be
! disinifected by chlorine or be boiled
five minutes. Even If samples Of wat
er from such wells have been sent to
tse state laboratories and declared.
after being tested, safe the well might
be made still polluted temporarily and
the water should be artificially purt-
fled. One month after the water has
heen tested ard declared safe would be
a sufficient time for the water to be
come badly polluted under conditions
Of rainfall and such as in the last few
weeks.
Even wells In which the water is not
turbio after a rain are not necessarily
safe. Physical evidences of pollution
ere not always present. To Judge the
safety Of any water supply the water
chemist must examine the data sheet
accompanying the sample and assure
herself that conditions around the well
are good. she must analyze the water
Internationally, and then must follow
with q chemical analysis which gives
evidence Of the condition of the water
In both the present and past. A well
can not be considered safe unless every
one OF these examinations show no
evidences of pollution

Child Reared BY Wild creaturea

A female Mowgn has been discov-
cred In the hill resort Of Mani Tai or
United Provinces, India, where q wild
looking creature, evidently a female
child. since there are vaccination
marks on both Of her arms, has been
discovered in the jungle. Exposure
has caused a thick growth Of hair
down each side of the face and spine,
which gives her the appearance OF a
monkey. She evidently has always
walked upright, but her sitting posture
is that Of a monkey, as are all her &C
tons. She Is, Of course. unable to
talk. The indications are that she
was abandoned in infancy and that
monkeys were her foster parents. The
natives in the bazaar, however, de-
clare that the child was reared by
bears.

Paris, Aug. "a delayed General
Denikine, the anti-Bolshevlk leader in
southern Russia. now dominates a
territory larger than Germany and his
forces are daily progressing into cen-
trail Russia with comparatively slight
opposition. His actual front two days
ago, according to accurate military
information received here, extended
from few miles east of Odessa
northward to Elizabetgrad. then
northeast to a few miles south of
kursk, thence east to Novochoporsk
continuing to n point on the Nolga, a
few miles south OF Saratov.
tSince this dispatch was filed the
capture of Odessa by anti Bolshevik
forces has been anncunced)
Denikine also occupies all the eau
casus region from the Caspian to the
Black sea and south to the Georgian
border. His forces are not occupying
Astrakhan, at the mouth of the Volga,
but he controls traffic on the river by
occupying TZaritzin and a stretch

TORNADO in rain
Hail Is Caused by Great Dis
turbance In Air.
Sole Topic of Weather Conver-
sation Here Today.
Ibid the hail hit your"

did the hail hit your" i
mo. but it hit my barn and played
thunder with it, tool"
The above conversation was one of
the aftermaths of the unusual hail
storm that accompanied the breaking
of the drouth in Topeka Tuesday
night. Every person who discussed
the storm had something to say about
the hail. Some of the Topekans who
have tin roofs on their buildings did
not always refer to 1t as hail-not
quite the same spelling, you know
There were various reports as to
the size of the hail spheres. Some
said they were the size of marbles.
some the size of hen eggs. and some
even thought they saw hail hunks as
big as horses hoofs. One Topekan
who stood on his front porch and
watched the storm could not get his
mind off the globes on the white way
poles on Kansas avenue.
I'll bet you every globe on the ave-
nue. will be broken" he said. And
think of the electric signs that will be
made dark
yes. and think of the increase in
the city tax levy this is liable to cause
when the street commissioner figures
up the thousands of dollars it will
take to replace the losses" said his
father who has been worrying about
taxes ever since the announcement of
the new levy.
Together the father and son came
down town this morning and they
spent more than half an hour riding
up and down Kansas avenue looking
for broken light globes. They found
only one.
Many Of Topeka's youngster set
have been keeping the old folks busy
today explaining hail, how 1t is formed
and where it comes from.
Definition OF Hail.
In it's reference to hail under the
heading Of meteorology, the Encyclo-
pedia Britannica says:
IAN hail is probably connected with
| whirlwinds. Yapor carried aloft by the
| point condensed into clouds and rain, but.
| above that height into snow. Let the rain
| drops formed below be carried up into the
| snow region by the powerful ascending
| currents of the tornado-#nd be suspended
there little while and they become frozen
| into hail. II these be thrown outside the
| gyratiOns of the tornado they fall to the
| earth as shower of homogeneous hail.
\ stones of clear ice of ordinary size. Often
! the hailstones are carried UP into the snow
| number of times before being hurled to the
! earth. Every time they go up into the
/ snow they receive a coating of snow and
every time they pass thru the rain area
| they receive a coating of Ice. Then the
| coatings alternate and the snow makes the
| haflstOnes whitish in appearance. 1t is
| easy to tell how many up and down trips
| they made by counting the coatinGs. Nat
urally the oftener they are carried up and
down the larger they become. Hailstones
| large enough TO kill cattle have often been
| known to fall, and whole areas have been
devastated by hail storms
