Record Rainfall in Panama.

When 2.47 inches Of rain fell in three
minutes at Porto Bello, Panama, during
the night of November %, 1911, 1t was
the heaviest rainfall ever recorded.
This rainfall exceeded by 100 per cent
the rate measured at Curtea de Argos,
Roumania, in July, 1889, heretofore
held to be the worlds record, says
B. G. Kadel of the United States
weather bureau.
So great was the Panama rainfall
that all the conditions under which 1t
was measured were carefully examined,
in order that there might be no ques-
tion as to the accuracy of the record.
It was found that the circumstances
corroborated the testimony Of the re-
cording inst suments.

United States 0.25 inch of rain in
five minutes is considered excessive.

times as many as 100 men, under
Sheriff Steenberge and the state con-
stables have been engaged in this
search. Their failure has only added
to the nervous strain under which the
women of Skerry live, and which has
resulted in steps to protect children.
This action has been spurred by the
reports of one boy chased by the man
with threats to kill him with his club,
and of little girl, left alone in her
home, who was terrorized by the ap.
pearance of the man and his attempt
TO force his way into the house. Upon
these reports state troopers made an

Search In Vain.
The puzzle of the masculine pOpula-
lion of Skerry is to find his hiding
place, for he has proved a veritable
will-o-the-wisp. 1t is generally con-
ceded that it must be in big swamp
On the Deer river, which is peculiarly
suitable setting for a modern Tarzan;
put this belief is due to the fact that
he has not been found elsewhere
rather than to any evidence akin to
proof. Posses have been organized
and search of the woods made, and
The state constabulary of this village
have been called upon in vain to
solve the mystery.
This man appeared in Skerry about
the middle of last month. He was an
[rishman, was lame, and clothed in
overalls, without coat or hat. He in
luired of Abe Patton and, later, of
Charles Trim, both Skerryites, the
way to lumber camp, and received
from each minute directions to guide
