comparatively small amount of water
In the clouds was not realized by our


ancestors, who believed that clouds
sometimes actually burst and dis
charged their entire watery load at
once upon the earth. This idea is
learnedly set forth in quaint little
German work by Christian Weise,
published in 1701, as well as in many
later works.
The earlier scientific attempts to
account for the tremendous down.
pours to which the name "cloudburst"
is applied assumed that the water
was due to rapid condensation in the
vortex of tornado or waterspout,
and hence the name "waterspout" was
formerly often applied to a cloudburst
even when It occurred far from any
body Of water.
The rainfall attending tornado Is
doubtless sometimes Of cloudburst in
tensity, but the majority of cloud
bursts are now believed to be the
product of thunderstorms. Violent
uprushing currents of air always &C.

thunderstorm. Moisture in the air
drawn into the storm by these cur
rents condenses as it rises, on account
Of the cooling Of the air by expan-

that for time the water Is prevented
from falling as rain.
If the rising currents are weakened
at some point, a large accumulation

A cloudburst isn't really that at all
its caused by uprushing warm cur
rents Of air and falls when current
ceases.
A standard dictionary defines a
cloudburst as "a sudden copious rain
fall, as II the whole cloud had been
precipitated at one time"
AS matter Of fact, If cloud of
the largest size were, by miracle,
precipitated at one time, coming down

conditions of any given region. But
it does absolve the Gulf stream from
any blame for unusual weather in
the United States.
Scientists have discovered that
there is an inter-acting system of
winds and ocean currents. Both, I'M
doubtedly, owe their origin to the
unequal warming of the air in diff
ferent ATTITUDES by the sun and the
rotation of the earth.
The Gulf stream, biggest of all
the ocean currents. has been de-
scribed by one scientist as 1.-THE
grandest and most mighty terres-
tial phenomenon" The Gulf stream
can be thought of as "river in the
sea-"
The stream comes out of the
Gulf of Mexico and flows through
the Straits of Florida. At this
poiIW, according to DR.. II. A. Mar
mer, of the United States coast
and geodetic survey, it resembles a
gigantic river, for 1t is forty miles
wide, 1000 feet deep and flows with
surface velocity of four miles an
hour.
This means that each hour the
Gulf stream sends through the
Straits of Florida into the sea about
100,000,000,00 tons of water. This
is about one thousand times more
water than is poured into the Gulf
of Mexico each hour by the Nissis-
sippi river, a river which drains
about per cent of the area of the
United States. @
Leaving the Straits of Florida, the
stream flows due north for about
1000 miles. 1t is then Joined by the
Antilles current and continues its
flow in a northeasterly direction

"No, it isn't. That instant we took

GULF STREAM NOT
IMPORTANT TO U. S.
Has Little or No Effect on
Weather.

If any portion Of the United
States east of the Rocky mountains
develops a spell of unusually hot,
cool, wet or dry weather in sum-
mer, the chances are 100 to 1 that
somebody will blame it on the Gulf
stream, David Dietz comments,
writing in the New York World
Telegram. If the weather becomes
unusual at any time next winter,
the Gulf stream will again get the
blame.
Periodically, some one advances
the notion that Florida will turn
into a desert or New England into
an ice field because the Gulf stream
Is shifting it's direction. Schemes
have been advanced for diverting
the Gulf stream to bring about i'm
provements in the weather of the
United States.
Meteorologists and oceanographers
believe that there are minor fluc-
tuations in the Gulf stream but
that these fluctuations have an al
most negligible effect upon the
weather conditions in the United
States.
This view does not minimize the
Importance of the Gulf stream in
the general scheme of worldwide
wind and water circulation, the fac
tors which in all probability deter

Do you realize how old Bumpy has

wondered what was behind the words
Of his chief.
"These are the facts" Blake began.
'Bumpy had learned that Doolittle
"a married man-was making love to
his daughter. He warned her against
him. Then he warned his daughters
seducer and probably in rather hot lam
guage Doolittle pushed him off his
place. Bumpy may in his anger have
sworn to get even. After that when
ever he was in his cups he id Cy
Doolittle. When he was indicted for
murder and his life was in peril he
must have suspected the truth that
Doolittle had tried to get rid of his
wife so that he could have Carrie. But
old Bumpy held his peace. Why? Not
even to save his life would he bring
discredit on his daughter. To him
death was better than shame. doubt
IL in all the records of human action
we may find nobler sense of chivalry.
It is curious that this shabby old
tinker, often tipsying about the coun-
tryside, should now have us all sitting
humbly at his feet. OF course he
wanted the girl to marry Royce. Now,
Royce is an honest but rather stupid
fellow-a good deal Of Ounce, I
would say. I don't wonder that the
girl wouldn't have him. Doolittle and

and another-notably in. buying the

tectives. / have never thought that

Temple Built to Honor Great Egyptian Goddess

The temple at Denderah is one of
the most famous temples in all
Egypt. According to the historical
facts which the scientists have been
able to dig out Of the hieroglyphic rec
ords, it was restored by Pharaoh Pepi
1, who lived four thousand years ago
in the Sixth dynasty.
There Is a high wall round the tenn
pie, with majestic gateway, and to
walk through this gateway is to be
awed by the majesty of the columns
of the entrance hall. The capitals OF
these columns are craven in the image
of Hathor, the goddess to whom the
temple is dedicated. She is represent
ed as woman with the ears Of q
heifer and with hair flowing down both
sides Of her head.

along the South Atlantic states.
Next it swings across the Atlantic to
the shores of northwestern Europe.
1t disappears into the Arctic seas.
The Gulf stream has a profound
8 influence upon the climate of north
western Europe. For example, north
ern Norway has an average Janu-
airy temperature which is 45 degrees
higher than the normal for that
latitude. Hammerfest, Norwegian
port beyond the Arctic circle, has
open water during the winter, where
as the port of Riga, 800 miles far
Their south, is ice-bound in winter.
. Why, then, is the Gulf stream so
important to Europe and so unim-
portant to America?
The answer lies in the air cur
rents. In winter the winds in north
western Europe are mostly from the
southwest These winds, blowing
over the warm waters of the Gulf
stream, are warmed up, and so they
carry warm air to the coast. This
is why the Gulf stream warns north
western Europe. The winds effect the
transfer of heat from Gulf stream
to coast.
In the United States, however,
the prevailing winds along the north
Atlantic coast are from the north
west. In other words, the wind
blows from inland out to sea. Con.
sequeAtly, the warm waters Of the
Gulf stream, lying several hundred
miles off the coast, are powerless to
warm the American coast.

colonel hoped he would do. The
sheriff took him to the county Jail that
day. Colonel Blake and Shad went to

(Continued from Page 1.)

Miss Hillard was a keen observ- ed of public events and evidently l foresaw what was coming to the nation four years ago and made a | supreme effort to put Alfred B. Smith in the White House, believ- ing that he was the ablest man in the country to grapple with the situation. With this end in view she called attention through the press of the danger that threat ened the country and suggested how to prepare for 1t, but her counsel was not needed.
 The deceased was born in Ken sington, the daughter of Rev Elias Brewster Hillard, Congregational clergyman, and Julia Whittlesey Hillard. She spent her childhood in Plymouth. She attended Saint Margaret's school in this city after completing her studies in Ply mouths lower schools. From Saint Margaret's school she went to Ab- bot Academy in Andover, Mass. where she was awarded an hon. teacher at Miss Porter's school from 1885 to 1891.
 In 1891 Miss Hillard was invited back to Saint Margaret's, here, to help Rev Dr Francis Thayer Rus sell, the headmaster. in its man. agement. She was then a young woman of 28. Dr Russell was compelled to leave Saint Margaret's few months later due to i'll health and he recommended that Miss Hillard be named headmis- tress. She declined but offered to rent a part of the building from the trustees so that she could run a boarding school of her own. The trustees, including Frederick J. Kingsbury, James s. Elton, The odore Driggs, Augustus s. Chase and Nelson J. Welton. accepted her proposition.
 The school grew in leadership and soon girls from all over the | United States were being sent to .study under Miss Hillard. Saint Margaret's became prominent all over the country, but Miss Hillard longed to build a school in the country and after giving the trus- tees of Saint Margaret's due notice she founded Westover school in 1909.
 Westover grew from tNe time of | US founding with the result that 1 graduates of the institution are now scattered all over the globe. Miss Hiliard was greatly interested in world peace activities and was the organizer of the Student Friendship Fund. Last year she was one of the prime movers In the organization of the North Att lantic Students League for Inter- national Cooperation. She was also the benefacfress of the needy In Russia and the Orient.
 Miss Hiiiard was member Of the Connecticut Society of Colon. iai Danes, the Northeastern As- soeiation of Colleges and prepara- tory Schools, the Head Mattresses association and also of the Colony, Cosmopolitan and Chiffon Clubs of New York and the Ladies Imperial

aeyidence for warrants, but the po- lice described the act as little dis play of strong arm" stuff which eventually would have placed the two in a position to demand lit- tie hush money.
 While on his period of good be- haviour Lerz penned a letter to state and local officials and after naming 16 places where policy plays were accepted offered to ap- pear in person as a witness If de- sired by the police.
 Judge McGrath's actions this morning startled the accused and their friends. If Lerz and Tata are tried and the complete evidence is brought out the public may learn few things about the undercover feud that has been waging in this part of the state for several months past, a feud in which strong arm" men have been imported here from various parts of the country Several unsuccessful attempts have been made to extort money on the threat of the hi-jackers to squeal {. the police, but to-date the game has not progressed beyond the Threatening stage" There is every possibility, however, of action oc- curing any day.
 Since. Lerz and Tata were taken into custody three others have been picked up here and two in Hartford. Amerigo DiStiso of River street, Louis Christoforo of South Main street and John Mccarthy of Springfield are under arrest and bonds for appearance next week on the charge of having policy slips in their possession. Mccarthy, so the local police were tipped off, has the reputation of being a strong arm man. The Springfield police were the authors of the informa- tion that Mccarthy would not be above getting rough with anyone for price.
 Frank Verrastro of this city, who served time for attempting to ex- tort money from the late John Sullivan, is now under arrest in Hartford in default of bonds of $1O,0O0 for alleged participation in a scheme to swindle resident of Burlington of cider brandy and money.
