other matches before he meets Wills.
There is no good foundation for the
assertion that he can reach the peak
of his form only through ring en-
counters. No such plea has been
made in behalf of Wills. II the
negro boxer can fit himself for the
fight by course of road work, box
ing and swimming-the latter is
among the best exercises known for
developing the lungs-DEMPsEY also
can do so.
Old time pugilists would have been
ieered at if having made match
to meet a principal they went about
boxing their interiors as a prelimi-
nary. What they did was to engage
the best trainers possible. Not one
man in ten thousand can train him
self for such a contest as the Demp-
sey-Wills match should be. SULLI-
VAN at his best had MuLDooN, and
FTrzsIMMoNs the Englishman CAR
ROLL. Doubtless DEMPSEY will be
able to find a suitable trainer.

The Railroad Shop Strike.

The railroad shop strike seems to
be general, with several hundred
thousand men out. 1t has made no
difference, however. to the abnor-
mally heavy holiday traffic. And it
may make no difference to normal
passenger and freight traffic for
weeks if the railroads have the spare
equipment they say they have.
Meanwhile, there is something for
everybody to consider in what Pres
ident HARDING said yesterday con-
cerning the coal strike.
If in behalf of national safety the
President OF the United States will
not suffer the country's coal mines to
stay shut down, he would not be
any more likely to suffer the national
danger of having the country's rail
roads shut down.
This is a situation which the rail
road shop workers on strike in def
ance of the United States Railroad
Labor Board might as well look
sluarely in the face.

Summer Showers.

In their vagaries the summer
showers OF the middle Atlantic coast
may not be more perplexing than
storms elsewhere, but at times they
are the despair of the weather fore
caster. The winter storm moves
about as regularly as a transconti-
mental express train; the summer
shower, on the contrary, comes
when IL arrives and leaves when it
departs"
The summer shower may not be
preceded by falling barometer; it
does not always come with an east
erly wind It is not heralded by the
haze which gives warning OF the
winter storm. The rain may fall
from much beclouded area in which
the air is practically motionless ex-
cept for an updraft; or it may be
spilled from the bottom of a small
summer cloud driven before wind
OF variable direction.
In the former case Professor BOWIE,
chief weather malefactor so far as
troubling humanity with wetness is
concerned, tells us that when warm
Atlantic wind from the south meets
cold wind from the east something
unpleasant Is likely to occur II they
happen to hobnob near the coast !,
moreover, the likelihood becomes a
certainty If the warm wind flows
under the colder layer And II that
same easterly wind drags lot Of
warm water and lodges It along the
shore, the weather conditions are
pretty certain to be disheartening Ia
summer pleasure seekers. The facts
of the situation are simple: the fore
casters Job is not.
The shower which falls from q
summer cloud OF the cumulus type
is likely to occur whenever the mois-
ture Of moderately still air is exces-
Give. But the cumulus cloud is al

vive. The civil war ended the exist
ence of not few papers. the passing
cf towns on account of the change
from stage and boat traffic to rail-
read travel was responsible for the
death of many others. "One pub
lisher," says the Gazette record,
added thirteen tonbstones to the
Arkansas newspaper graveyard and
another buried his paper besides five
more in the same town" The report
from Cleburne county says that OF
fourteen papers started In that
county in forty years only one con-
tinues to be published. The brisk
little city of Napoleon had several
newspapers. "But Napoleon is no
more. as the waters of the Missis-
sippi now flow over it's former SITE"
A similar fate befell many other pub
lications of the river valley towns.
The story of the Arkansas press
is closely interviewer with the story
OF the State, with the struggle Of
pioneer days, civil war and the
changing social and commercial con-
ditions of the last 100 years. The
papers with their intensely local
character constitute the States most
valuable historical record Of Arkan-
sas life and activities.

cloud is the most treacherous wild
beast OF the air; and when the up
draft is strong enough to pun the
moist air a couple of miles above its
water logged base a lot of rain will
spill from the cloud. If the up
draft is strong enough to shatter
the drops within it lot of electricity
is let loose also.
1t is from clouds Of this sort that
the heaviest downpours occur. The
path traversed by the cloud may not
ne more than forty miles long; the
width of the rainfall may not exceed
one or two miles. The rainfall does
not extend beyond the clouds edges;
usually it is we'll within them.
1t naturally follows that a flood
may occur at given place while a
nearby locality may have little rain
or none at all. On various occasions
an inch or more of rain has fallen
in Battery Park while only trace
has ldlltll dl a uCdib A1CICOi Oio6iSoi
station. Four years ago September
shower dropped less than two inches
at Battery Park, while more than
five inches fell a few miles away.
That the wetness Of the June just
past is record breaking is due prob
ably to the first Of the two factors
noted But the June record has been
surpassed half a dozen times since
the establishment Of the Weather
Bureau station in this city. The rec
ord of maximum rainfall for cal
endar month occurred in 1882, when
1851 inches fell, and in October,
1908. a fall of $40 inches occurred
in period Of twenty-four hours
The average rainfall for New York
city in June is $3.50 inches, and eight
other months have greater average
precipitation.

Ninety Thousand Possibilities.

Ninety thousand New York city
boys and girls ended their attend
ance in the public schools last week.
They left their desks to go to work.
Some Of them think they have fin
ished their education. Others know
they haven't. School teachers edu-
cate little, instruct little, and try
hard to train their pupils minds in
the habits that will enable them to
make self-education their lifelong en-
deavor and pursuit.
The children who put away their
school books on Friday, but carried
out of school the knowledge that
their education is only beginning,
may not have easy lives, but they
will have satisfactory lives. They
will work and study and think. With
work, study and thought men and
women can get along in comfort even
under unfavorable circumstances;
and unfavorable circumstances come
to all.
II some of the children think their
education is completed because the
State has consented to their quitting
school they will soon be undeceived.
Nobody need read them lessons,
Their competitors in the hustle for
existence and success will teach them
a great deal gratuitously.S
These 10000 boys and girls are
80, 900 hopes of the town, the State
the nation, the world. They have
had as good start as their parents,
prodded up by the conscience of the
community acting through the city
and the State, could give them. They
enter a world full of opportunity, a
world somewhat indisposed and ex'
ceedingly bewildered, world so en-
crossed with the consequences of its
past mistakes that it cannot find time
to give them a formal greeting.
Among these 10000 youngsters
there may be one with vision, one
who is destined to make the world
behave itself nationally and witt
good sense. II that is the case there
will be for him a welcome reaching
all around the world.

Big Bullets for Holdup Men.

Army officers and other experts In
firearms have been studying the
question of the most effective type OF
weapon for protection against holdup
men, burglars and other criminals.
There seems to be general agreement
that the military revolver Of .45
caliber with a heavy soft lead bullet,
backed by a medium charge Of pow
der, would be more effective in stop
ping a desperate robber, and at the
same time would be less dangerous
in crowded street, than pistol OF
smaller caliber with lighter bullet
driven by heavy charge.
To stop your man is the first es-
sential. A small caliber bullet fired
at high velocity might pass through
a man and not stop him. In the
Philippine campaign the United
States Army authorities substituted
the AS caliber weapon for the .SS
which had been the regulation arm
because It was found that the latter
would not check the wild tribesmen
In many instances tribesmen NOR
tally wounded rushed on to infict
death with their bolos, though they
themselves expired a few minute!
later. The impact Of the bullet from
the AS. on the other hand, is like a
blow from a club and knocks dowr
the man it hits.
Every man employed as a watch
man and every man carrying OF
guarding valuables in transit should
after being provided with the righ,
kind OF weapon be instructed in its
use. The average man with a pisto

The Slandered Tarantula.
Science Says It's Poison Is Not Worse
Than That OF the Bee.

From, the Josrnot of tho American Medfcef
Association.
Folklore abounds in stories OF phe-
nomenal manifestations which often fal
to survive the test Of critical examina-
ton. Accounts OF unexpected occur
rences or unusual symptoms often grow
like rolling snowballs, adding to their
size with each step in the course OF
progress. Small effects may become
magnified into great ones; suspicious
develop somehow into the dignity OF
proba bilities or even real facts. New
traditions seem to spring up from un-
discovered sources. Something of the
nature Of such mystic influences may
account for the prevalent belief in the
extreme danger associated with the
tarAntula.
The fatal bite OF these terror inspir-
ing insects has been widely proclaimed.
so that they are given wide berth by
those who recognize them. The poison
Gus properties OF various species OF spi-
ders Is admitted by competent investi-
gators Many OF the insects have poi
son secreting glands which discharge
into the jaws. But there is little doubt
that the danger from some OF them has
been greatly exaggerated.
Won Fuerth considers that the bite or
the historically famous italian tarantula
is able 10 cause no more than local In
hsn,mation. while the toxicologist ko-
bert was unable to discover profoundly
poisonous properties in the supposedly
more dangerous Russian tarantula.
Now me American tarantula, Eurypelna
steindachneri, species reaching the
formidable looking adult size OF moro
than two inches in length. has been e--
onerated from the reputation long at
| tachng to Il.
Raerg OF the University OF Arkansas
has subjected both animals and man to
attack by the fangs OF active tarantulas.
Although the accounts do not give the
impression that such encounters are
painless performances. they are put In
the category OF bee sting In severity
rather than into the class OF more mem
acins toxins. Even bees may proopcs
fatalities yet they are rarely classcd
among the greater dangers to life.

The Tennent Church.
The Historic Edifice Near the Scene
of the Battle OF Monmouth.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD The cor
rect name OF the old church which fig-
ured in the battle of Monmouth is the
Tennent church, not Tenant, as printed
in your paper. II takes its name from
the Rev. William Tennent. its first pas
tor, one OF the most prominent clergy
men and most powerful preachers OF his
time.
1t Is RENTED OF him that he once went
into n trance. remaining apparently
unconscious Of his surroundings. When
he came out of It, so the story runs. he
insisted that he had actually beon In
heaven and had had personal conversa-
ton with Cod also that ne spoke flu-
entity several languages. of which. be-
fore his trance. he did not know a
word.
The old church, which Is kept In beau
tiful condition, still maintains the sturdy
faith of It's founders and is a power for
Righteousness in the community. Molly

It's a Lightning Bug Year.
Unusual Sights This Summer in
Connecticut Town.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: This is
not only great year for rain but also
for lightning bugs. Up Ridgefield way
when you see them high above the trees
they make you think the stars are oil
out.
They sail about, winking their tiny
lamps and make a regular fairyland OF
the dark woods. They are the largest
seen within the memory of the oldest
settlers and their number is not to be
counted. At dusk they begin to flash
their signals to all bugland. and when
you wake in the night and look out OF
the window at the ever falling rain they
are still on the Job and going strong.
Some of the farmers who are beyond
the electric light lines are talking about
catching several hundred thousand tc
start an Independent lighting company
Tile light is cold one and won't heat
up the house on warm nights.
But 1t is not only the lightning bugs
lovely and romantic. The woodchucks
are all working overtime in the gar.
dens at present.
And only the other evening deei
was seen calmly eating the remainder
of what was once promising garden.
Tree toads are telling everybody that
1t is going to rain. rain. again. just as
IL everybody didn't know 1t without be-
ing told.
Nature is wonderful; anybody can tel
you all about 1t up in Connecticut, ant
