HEAVY FROST
FELT IN STATE,
C0LDERT0NIGHT
Weather Bureaus Report
Shows Killing Frosts Oc-
Cured in Western N. D.
HEAVY RAINS ALSO
Devils Lake Reports Precipi.
tatiOn of Over an Inch
During the Day

Killing frosts occurred at points
in western North Dakota last night,
but Bismarck escaped serious frost
damage although the temperature
fell to "a at the weather bureau sta
tion and probably below freezing
in some Of the low points.
There is prediction of generally
fair weather tonight and Sunday,
but with the prospect of killing
frost tonight.
The lowest temperatures Of the
year were reported by the weather
bureau. The mercury fell to q
above at Dunn Center, 25 at Dickin
son, &c at Williston, "a at Bottineau,
35 at Napoleon, 35 at Minot, 80 at
jamestown, 80 at Fessenden, and
other weather bureau stations in
the state reported low temperatures
of 40 or above during the night.
Heavy rains also occurred in
North Dakota, with cloudy weather
at most points. The precipitation
reported to the weather bureau for
the "a hours ending at a. m. today
follows:
Amenia. 20; Bismarck, .55; Bot
tineau, .2l; Devils Lake, 1.20; Dick
inson, none; Dunn Center, none;
Glendale, .l2; Fessenden, 81; Grand
Forks, .53; jamestown 1.18; Lisbon,
.16; Minot, 80; Napoleon, AZ; Penn
bina, .01; Williston, 90, Moorhead,
Minnesota, .12.
Escape Frost Here
Bismarck, without killing frost
here, is beyond the average date
for killing frost, this being given
by the weather bureau as September
20. The average date Of killing
frost for the entire state is about
five days earlier, so that the frost
season is considerably late in ar
irving in North Dakota.
A large part Of the corn in the
state already is safe from frost.
The "day of grace" given by the
frost holding off was sufficient to
put the corn crop over most places.
George F. Will said today that
the heavy frosts in the western
part of the state would halt the
corn growth, but repeated state
ments previously made state that
fully Is percent of the corn was
out of the way of frost damage.
THRESHING DELAYED
A repols to division offices of
the 500 line here today said:
Rain yesterday heavy, Moffit to
Kuhn; Bismarck to Drake, light;

NEW VACUUM TUBE
ADOPTED IN FRANCE

PARIS, July ia new kind Of
vacuum tube for use by radionAsts
has recently been perfected in
France and is now in use in the
great sending station at the Eiffel
Tower here.
The new tube will come apart any
time for repairs and reimbursement.
It does not have 10 be pumped out
in advance by vacuum machine.
On the contrary, thef pump that
maintains the necessary vacuum Is
continually attached to the tube It.
self. The tube is kept pumped down
continually to any desired degree Of
vacuum-Or, as the Radiophan says,
hardness
The, new tube was invented by
Professor F. HoIwech, q well-known
physicist OF the Institute de- Ra.
dunn. The first tubes built on the
new design had q power Of 10 kilo.
watts. More recently 15-lxilowatt
tube has been built and stir. larger
ones are proposed. The demountable
construction Of the tube not only
permits easy repairs, but facilitates
the design Of the artificial cooling
devices that become so necessary
with tubes handling large amounts
Of power.
