CLIMATE IN MARYLAND
Is EQUABLE, SAYS MUM
Seasonal Changes Are Well
Marked, With Few Severe
Storms, Publication Says

Maryland's climate, when consider
ed "all-the-year-round," is one of the
best in the United States, according
to the third edition of "Our Climate"
:" informative little booklet prepar-
ed by Roscoe Num-, meteorologist at
Baltimore. According to Mr.. Nunn's
publication, which is just off the pres
es. Maryland winters are mild, al
though not lacking in invigorating
qualities. Zero weather has been re-
corded at Baltimore only IS times in
55 years, and the lowest record dur
ing this 55 year period was degrees
below zero. During the last rs years
zero" weather was recorded only 5
times at Cambridge, 10 times at Eas-
ton, Is times at Princess Anne, 20
times at Cheltenham, "a times at Lau-
rel and 81 times at Frederick.
The seasonal changes are we'll
marked.
Summers are warm, as in other
coed agricultural sections of the Uni
ted States. They are, however, I'M
usually tempered by cool spells that
originate in more northern ATTITUDES,
frequently in the Hudson Bay region
of Canada. Spring and autumn are
both delightful seasons.
The geographic position of Mary
land and Delaware with reference to
the usual storm paths is decidedly ia
vorable for uniform and abundant
supply of moisture for all purposes.
The annual precipitation averages
Alps inches in Maryland, and 1926
inches in Delaware, and its distribu-
ton throughout the year is almost
ideal.
The average annual snowfall is
moderate, amounting to about % in
ches, unmelted in Maryland and Della
ware. Snow does not remain long on
the ground, as a rule.
The sun shines at Baltimore during
some portion of the day on about 321
Jay - III tIt year, On Ille average.
"Winter Sunshine" is nearly double
the amount which occurs over large
portion of the Lower Lake region.
Yet days with 100 per cent of sun
shine are rather rare at any season of
the year and typical day is one on
which the sky is partly covered with
clouds
The atmosphere here is compare
lively free from smoke and dust Bal
timore enjoys cleaner atmosphere
than the cities of the West and South
where soft coal is used. This is no
small advantage.
The growing season." or FROST
free period, for the eastern half of
Maryland and of Delaware is remark
ably long for the latitude in which
Maryland and Delaware are located,
averaging about 1876 days.

worldly power, are often mistaken fol
Him, but it is now as ever in the still
small voice heard by His lowliest ser
want that He is found.
The lesson is contained in the last
of the verses referred to: 81, and

Israel" was Elijah's cry.
"You are not alone, but l have ever
seven thousand faithful servants il
Israel who have not bowed the knee tt

reply.
There were seven thousand devout
God-fearing, God-loving souls in Is
rael whom Elijah knew nothing about
There had been just seven thousand
times as much progress in the estab.
lishment of the kingdom of heaven as
Elijah had supposed.
There was just seven thousand
times as much reason for faith and
for optimism as he perceived!
Is there seven thousand times as
much reason for faith and optimism
now as the despairing Elijahs of our
own day recken?
The Thirty Years War caused de-
struction of life and property COM
pared with which the destruction IL
the World War was moderate; yet
how enormously the world has pro.
crossed since the former war ended in
1913!
And the frivolity witnessed after
the Napoleonic wars seized even the
congress of rulers which assembled at
Vienna to formulate the peace and
which became known to history as the
dancing congress. No indecency OF
that sort followed the war whose af-
termath is distracting the world to-
day.
All ages are ages of terrible strug-
gle between good and evil, but evil
has never yet been, and never will be,
triumphant. God in on His throne and
His kingdom ever drawns more near.
A man was sent out on a rocky
promontory in Scotland where his sig
mails might help a ship working its
way through a difficult channel in a
great storm. Great waves beat upon
the promontory and their spray wet
the fagman to the skin, but he stood
his dangerous ground and signaled the
ship in. After she was in someone
asked him if he did not tremble as he
stood out here. He answered: "My
legs trembled, but the rock didn't
tremble. | never knew before how
solid that rock was"
1t is always so. 1t is the storm that
reveals the solidity of the rock. This
was the lesson that Elijah needed to
learn. The salvation of the world
rests on the Rock of Ages, and is
secure.

Causes of Death in Maryland

Organic heart disease in the white
population and tuberculosis in the col
ored outranked all other .auses Of
death in the counties of Maryland
during the last three years, according
to recent reports from the State De.
parment of Health.
Lists prepared by DR.. F. V. BEETLES
Chief of the State Bureau of Vita
Statistics, showing the twenty princi-
pal causes of death, each year, for the
last three years, indicate interesting
differences in the susceptibility OF
white and colored, to various dis.
eases
In the white population, heart dis
ease led the list all three years, with
over a thousand deaths each year
and was the cause of one death out
of every seven. Bright's disease
which came second, was responsible
for one death out of every ten, with g
total of over 725 deaths each year
Cerebral hemorrhage, with CTS deaths
in 1923, 683 in 1924, and 727 in 1925
had the third place. Cancer, with 56E
deaths in 1923, 495 in 1924, and COG ir
1925, and tuberculosis with 523 deaths
in 1928, 500 in 1924, and SIT in 1925
held fourth and fifth places.
In the colored population, tubercu-
losis, with 285 deaths in 1928, 319 in
1924, and 312 in 1925, caused one out
of every nine deaths in 1923 and one
out of every eight in 1925, and had the
first place on the list. Organic heart
disease came second, with over 25C
deaths each year, and was responsible
for one death out of every Ten. Cere-
bral hemorrhage had the fifth place in
1923, the fourth in 1924 and the third
in 1925. Chronic Bright's disease was
third in the list in 1928 and 1924 and
fourth in 1925. Diarrhoea and enter
tits among children under two years
old had the fourth place in 1928 and
the fifth in 1924 and 1925.
Cancer, the fourth in the list OF
white deaths, was tenth in the causes
of colored deaths. Diabetes was four.
teenth in the white population, but
was not listed as principal cause OF
death among the colored. Whooping
cough was ninth on the colored list in
1923 and fourteenth in 1924 and 1925
but did not appear as one of the
twenty principal causes of death ir
the white population. The pneumo-
MAS, broncho and lobar, were more
fatal among the colored than the
white population, but they figured
important factors in the total deaths
in both races. On the other hand

thermocouple is how it is possible to
determine whether the heat radiation
which causes the weak current re-
corded by the galvanometer comes
from Mars or from innumerable out
side sources. This was explained at
the Bureau of Standards as follows:
l. The current is set up only by
radiant heat, such as would be sent
out by-a light-giving body, such as a
star, candle or a chunk of red-hot
iron.
2. The instrument first is set on
the open sky, and any current re-
corded on the galvanometer noted.
3. 1t is then set on Mars, and cor
rections are made for the effects which
have been noted from the open sky.
In this way the final result is due
to the actual heat radiations of the
particular section of the planet chosen
for observation.
The extreme sensitiveness of the in
strument Is illustrated by the fact that
in his latest observations DIR. COblenz
noted numerous warm and cold spots
as he went over the surface of the
planet, as a radio fan might expert
ment with his dial. The cold spots, he
explains, are the result of clouds pass
ing over the face of Mars-Only 43.-
900 900 miles away. This PROVIDES
additional evidence that there are
clouds on Mars, and clouds indicate
atmosphere and water.
DR.. CoblenZ will get to work at once
on his figures, and expects within a
few days to calculate just how warm
It is on Mars as indicated by the heat
radiation records.
The work at Flagstaff was carried
on in cooperation with DR.. G. o.
Iampland of the Lowell Observatory
This observatory is especially devoted
to the study of Mars.

EXPERTS DISCUSS
RURAL PROBLEMS
Inform President of Views
and Hear Reports on Euro
pean Conditions.

International rural problems were
discussed last night by prominent
agricultural authorities at a banquet
at the Willard Hotel which formally
closed the conference on rural-life
conditions sponsored by the American
Country Life Association and attend
ed by representatives from colleges
and farm bureaus all over the
country.
Earlier in the day the association
submitted a formal report to Presi-
dent Coolidge, stating that the crux
of the farm problem lay in the "qual-
ity Of the people" who live on the
farms and urging closer cooperation
between urban and rural communities.
Reclamation projects in rural
Europe were described by Dean A.
r. Mann of the College of Agriculture,
Cornell University, who explained how
agricultural schools were fitting
European youths to carry on a pro-
gram of intensive farming.
Farm Boys i'm Europe.

Of agriculture, is one Of the projects
now being undertaken by the United
States, declared Carl Elias Milllken,
former Governor of Maine, who stated
that 80 per cent of the pictures shown
in the world are filmed in the United
States.

SPRAYED FRUIT FOUND
TO HAVE LITTLE POISON
Tests of Apples Show Four Dozen
Needed to Get Full Dose
Of Arsenic.

OTTAWA. November 13.--The buh-
BILE of British alarm over arsenic poi
soning derived from the spray mate
rials left deposited on apples imported
from Canada has been pricked by re
suits of q recent scientific survey and
analysis.
Dr. Frank #. Shut. Dominion
chemist has found after extensive
tests that a very large proportion of
Canadian sprayed apples are entirely
free from arsenic. The samples of
fruit on which arsenic was found
have such small quantities as to re
quire four dozen apples to supply the
largest dose permitted by medical
practice, he declares in report OF
his findings.
There has been considerable agi
tatiOn over sprayed apples as a source
of recent cases of arsenic poisoning
in the British lay press and in medical
journals, and the chemical analysts
was undertaken to ascertain the pre-
else status of sprayed apples as a
menace to health. There has been q
considerable falling off in the impOr-
tation of Canadian apples as result
of the generally expressed alarm. II

L
elevens, each ambitious to clinch it's
claim for the mythical national title,
fought their bitter, brilliant fight,
with each refusing to yield a score
and neither really threatening to earn
one. Each had inaugurated stirring
drives, but only to see them end far
from the scoring zone through a stiff
fening of the opposition or by reason
of a tumble or misplay. Thus when
the "Irish," shortly after the third
period kickoff, lined up on their own
32-yard stripe, none in the monster
throng anticipated what was then to
occur.
Christy Is Sensation.
The signal called for black haired
Christy Flanagan to shoot for the sup
posed strong point of Army's mighty
line-the tackle position filled by the
giant Cadet tackle, Bill Sprague.
There was the threat of a pass and
the threat of a play on the opposite
side of the line by the clever-acting
Notre Dame backfield, and Christy
had only such help as might come
from his linemen to carry through his
assignment.
For a moment, as he reached the
ton he would go no farther, for while
Sprague had been turned in toward
the center, Christy collided with the
Cadet and seemed about to sprawl to
the ground. But his limbs kept
churning and he ricocheted off the
big Army man and on toward the
Cadet secondary defense section, pa
trolled by Lighthouse Harry" Wilson.
And while the Cadets hesitated, not
knowing just where or how to meet
him, Christy put on steam, tore past
them as the Twentieth Century Lin

This is deduced by DIR. w. w.

after measuring the heat radiation of

cate inStrument~yet used in this work.
The exact temperatures obtained

records produced by the thermocouple,

heat measurements, but figures from
which heat measurements can be cal
culated by mathematical process.
DIR. Coblenz brought the thermo-
couple to a new degree of refinement

Electric Current Produced.
1t has been shown experimentally
that if two electric conductors Of diff
ferent substances are Joined together
and the two hooked up to a galvanom-
eter, a very weak electric current is
produced when heat is applied to the
joint. Why this happens is only
dimly understood by the physicists
themselves, and the theories to ac-
count for it are largely unintelligible
to the layman.
The electric current recorded by the
galvanometer is increased as the heat
applied is increased. The device is
extremely sensitive.
In the thermocouple used by DR..
Coblenz two very fine wires, one of
bismuth and the other of platinum,
are joined. Both metals are extremely
