Causes Of Winds.

Winds are produced by a disturb
ance Of the equilibrium in some part
OF the atmosphere; n disturbance nj
ways resulting from difference in
temperature between adjacent sec
tons. Thus, If the temperature Of q
certain extent of ground becomes high
er, the air in contact with 1t becomes
heated, the air expands and goes 10
ward the colder or higher regions OF
the atmosphere; whence 1t flows, pro.
duclng winds which blow from hot to
cold countries. But at the same time
the equilibrium is destroyed at the
surface Of the earth, for the pressure
on the colder adjacent parts Is greater
:han on that which has been heated
and hence current will be produced
with velocity dependent on the differ
ence between these pressures thus
two distinct winds will be produced
IN upper one setting outward from the
heated region, and a lower one setting
Inward toward 1t.

POET LAUREATE
TO HOLD POST
Robert Bridges Will Not Be Ousted
From Honorary Position.

LONDON, IAN. s.-Robert Bridges
Poet Laureate of the British Empire
is to remain in that office, despite a
suggestion that he be removed. His
fitness to do so was questioned the
other day in the house of commons by
Moratio Bottomley, who asked the
premier if Britain's national bard had
written any poetry on the war, on the
declaration of peace or on the unveil-
ing of the cenotaph, and If not, would
the prime minister consider appoint
ing national poet whose muse was
more attuned to the soul of the Brit
ish nation
Premier Lloyd George replied that
so far as he was aware, the Poet
Laureate had written nothing about
the events mentioned, but Mr.. Bridges
had written many poems during the
war. and it was not considered neces-
sary to make any change.
A wag in the house raised loud
laughter by solemnly suggesting that
Mo. Bottomley himself should take
over the job.
When another member suggested
that Rudyard Kiphng should be Of
fered the post, there was 8 chorus o.

Mr.. Bridges was appointed Laure-
ate by former Premier Asquith, his
friend and admirer, in 1913.

The job of raising Galveston was be-
gun in July, 1904 and completed in

The third of the trinity of projects,
the causeway connecting this island
with the mainland, received a setback
in the battering administered by the
tropical hurricane Of five years ago.
Originally constructed of solid con-
crete slabs set longitudinally at both
ends, with a series of arches in the
center. the causeway prior to the
storm was considered impregnable.
Each end was filled with sand and
earth, over which was constructed
railway, interurban and vehicular
traffic roadways. The assault of the
storm however, broke through the ar
NOR and speedily washed away the
sand and earth filling. after which the
shell collapsed.
In the rebuilding of the causeway,
the arch type of construction Is be-
ing followed out exclusively. En-
gineers in charge expect to complete
the repairs to this structure within
twelve months.

PLATINUM USED
AS DOOR STOPS
American Soldier Had Small Fortune
Dumping Around on Floor.

CADILLAC, Mich, Jan, s.-Nelson
Nolf, living near Cadillac, brought
several pounds of stones with him
when he returned from northern Rus
ria, where he served with the Amer
lean military force. Recently the
stones were found TO be almost pure
platinum and experts say Nolf will
receive about $4,000 for them.
Nolf used the stones for door
weights. Each time a door banged
against one of them, several dollars
worth of platinum was knocked off.
The ore was found by soldiers from
Northern Michigan on the Divna river,
about 35 miles from ArchangeI.

WATER NCAUSE
OF FIRE I'm HOSES
Interesting Case at Boston Would Not
Appear in Practice.

BOSTON, Jan. s.-The phenomenon
may occur in hose lines that are test
ed under certain conditions but would
never be encountered in practical fire
department work according to the
conclusions of an expert who has
made tests with different engines and
different types of hose as a result of
the Boston fire department report of
the burning of a hose with no flame
nearby.
The tests which have taken the
place of those planned by the depart
ment We're made by j. S. Caldwell,
chief engineer of the New England
Insurance Exchange. The first was
conducted here with a rotary engine
and the flame burned through two
cotton jackets In Is minutes Another
test was held with centrifugal en-
CINE at Portland, Me-, where the rub
Der lining was ruptured in eight min
utes allowing the water TO soak
through the cotton jackets preventing
ignition. The third test at New Bed
ford was with a piston-typ engine
and was stopped after eight minutes

that chemical tests could be made.
The cause of the water induced
flame was said by the engineer to be
friction between the inner and outer
jackets of the hose, the results of
high velocity stream of water which
caused vibration or fluttering of the
hose. The vibration was found to be
produced largely by a variance in
pressures on the pump side of the
throttle gate and the hose side due to
choking down of the opening.
Under such conditions the type of
pump and the make of hose are not
factors in the result, Engineer Cald-
well found He summarized his con-
illusions with the statement that "the
possibility of burning hose while in
teresting because of it's peculiar ma
ture is a matter which does not war
rant any change in the design Of eth
er pumping equipment or hose as the
conditions under which it is produced
would never be encountered in prac-
teal fire department work"

LAKE DISASTERS
HAVEFALLEN OFF
Only Eight Vessels Lost During Season
of 1920.
(By Associated Press)

DETROIT, Mich, Jan. s-Marked
reduction in the number of marine
disasters on the Great Lakes during
the 1920 season, compared with 1919,
Is shown in the records of shipping
companies here. During 1920 there
were eight vessel losses and 20 lives
lost, against 10 vessel losses and so
lives lost the preceding year.
The 29 persons who lost their lives
last year persisted when the steamer
Superior City sank. in Lake Superior
off Whitefish point. This occurred on
the night of August 90 after a col
lision with the steamer Willis L. King.
The collision is said to have been
due to fog. The Superior City sank
so quickly after the collision it was
impossible TO launch boats. according
to the stories of four survivors. One
of those lost was a woman, wife of the
second engineer.
Other vessel losses in 1920 were:

The extension 10 the sea wall is a

the wall is reinforced at intervals of
