A THEORY OF KANSAS RAIN.
I>r, Snow Says that the Moisture Conies
from the Gulf.
The theory that the rainfall of Kan
sas depends very largely upon the
snowfall in the Rocky Mountains of
Colorado Is not supported by Dr. F.
11. Snow of the University .of Kansas,
who believes that the rains of Kansas
are caused by winds from the Gulf
of Mexico, says the Kansas City Star.
Dr. Snow, who has studied the weath
er of Kansas 37 years, supports his
theory by argument, which is the re
sult of close observation. The United
States Weather Bureau recently sent
out warning to persons in eastern Col
orado and parts of Nebraska stating
Ibu on account of n deficiency In the
snowfall in the mountains Inst winter
tlie supply of water in the Platte Riv
er for Irrigation will be exhausted pre
maturely. This lias ealfed attention
and promoted discussion regarding the
thisiry which attributes the rainfall
of Kansas to tlie melting snow in the
Rockies.
According to this theory, an exces
sive snowfall in the mountains is fol
lowed by an abundant rainfall in Kan
sas the following season, while a de
ficiency of snowfall indicates the prob
ability of a serious deficiency In rain
fall. In talking of the question as to
the source of Kansas rainfall to-day,
Dr Snow said:
■'Notwithstanding the 'deficiency of
snow In tlie Rocky Mountain region
last winter, the rainfall of Kansas In
March and April greatly exceeded tlie
normal amount nnd furnished n suffi
cient refutation of the theory that
Kansas rainfall depends upon the
mountains snow. Tlie most probable
source of the moisture which pro
duces the Kansas rainfall Is the Gulf
of Mexico. The prevailing winds of
Kansas in the latter part of spring, the
entire summer and the first half of au
tumn. are from the Routh and south*
west.”
Dr. Snow's theory is that the winds
of western Kansas come from'across
the hot, sandy country of New Mexi
co and western Texas and that the
winds of eastern Kansas blow over
central northern Texas, central Okla
homa and after crossing Kansas take
a northwestern course through south
eastern Nebraska, northwestern Mis
souri and over lowa. This territory
is in the rain belt and Is not subject
to dry seasons as in western Kan
sas and parts of other states over
which the dry hot winds from the far
southwest pass. These dry winds, af
ter their course over New Mexico and
western Texas, cross western Kansas
and pursue a course further east In’
Nebraska than in Kapsas and then into
the Dakotas.
"The sea breezes from the Gulf of
Mexico." said Dr. Snow, "extend west
ward into south Texas for a consider
able distance, gradually veering to the
north and joining the regular south
west winds, bringing abundant mois
ture to the eastern part of Kansas,
while the western half of the State
lying beyond the moisture laden winds
from the gulf has a different rainfall
In each locality according to its dis
tance from the northward moving
moisttire-laden currents.”
QUICK RESCUE AT SEA.
Bosun Picked Up and Ship Off Again in
Nine M inn lcm.
Vineento Melluzo, who is described
admiringly by his fellows, as "a sort
of Irish dago.” is bosun on the Ward
Line steamship Esperanza. He has
reason to thank his particular star that
the urew of the vessel has had sharp
boat drill. On the last outward voyage
of the Esperanza for Havana, Mellu
zo felLu verboard. the ship was stopped,
a boat lowered, he was jacked up and
the vessel start<*d on her course again
all hi nine minutes, which is pretty
near a record, according to the
York Evening Post. A woman pas
senger who saw the whole thing, said:
"Oh. wh\ don’t they hurry and do
something! The poor man will drown.”
"By the Lord Harry, I almost felt
like insulting her," said an officer of
the ship. "When everything was go
ing Bristol fashion and the men jump
ing like cats at the word, to say a
thing like that to me.”
When Melluzo hit the water he was
fully dressed. but when he was pulled
out seven minutes biter ho had on only
an undershirt, "and was breathing
hard and treading water."
Mj- Alexander, the first officer of the
Esperanza, told the story:
"It was on a Sunday afternoon and
we were going down the Florida coast
at a tifteen-knot clip. I was amid
ships with Melluzo ami the watch get
ting the accommodation ladder over
sides. so that it would lie ready when
ne got to Havana. The men had got
it off tire grating and swung outboard.
Tile bosun told one of them ^to do some
thing. but the m(in was afraid or some
thing. and Melluzo jumped to do lt«»
himself. As he struck the ladder it
canted and he went into the water
sprawling. I sung out for two of the
men to go aft and throw the life rings,
while 1 ran to the bridge and stop
ped the ship. The captain began to
turn the ship around, while I took the
men to get a boat overboard. We took
the yawl that hangs in davits over
the bridge, because it was smaller
than the regular lifelxuits and had it
in the water in no time. The bosun
was clean gone when hauled into the
boat: lie could only lay in the bottom
and gasp.
"It was just jjine minutes from the
time the alarm was given until the
ship was under way again.”
The feat is all the more creditable
from the fact that the Esperanza car
ries Italians forward, many of them
not able to speak a word of English.
The mates usually give their orders
through the bosun.
Earthworms and Moisture.
Earthworms cannot live without
moisture; their food is also dependent
upon if. During droughts they burrow
down to moisture often three or four
feet, and it is only after rains, during
huffilil weather, or in damp earth that
they may lie dug up Just under the
surface or are seen reaching far out
of their holes or even traveling on tlie
surface to new localities, generally at
night. Vegetable mold often grows
upon pavements, and worms frequent
such places. Often they crawl upon
the hard sidewalks and cannot burrow
down again. They are found In grant
est numbers wherever there is decay
ing vegetation. Worms are friends of
mini and serve nn Important economic
purpose.—St. Nicholas.

Triumph of Forestry.
CCOIIIHNG to Uiiite.l States Consul Tourgee,
Bordeaux, the growth of the "pin maritime, ’’
l,r cerine pine, in the I (Mes and adjoining de
partments of France, "undoubtedly murks the
most remarkable aclmwement ever wrought
by human agency hi the modification of natural
conditions of soli and climate for the benefit
of mankind."
A century ago the region between the Gironde and
the Pyrenees was In most of its extent “not only one of
tlie most barren In the world, hut apparently altogether
hopeless of reclamation.” Sand dimes were advancing from
the sea at rates varying up to 200 feet a year, swallowing
up fields, meadows, vineyards, houses, churches, villages,
and leaving nothing but a gray desert. The old forests had
been destroyed, and now natuie was taking its revenge.
There seemed no hope for the heart of France, when It
occurred to Bremontier, a native of the threatened region,
that the devastation might be arrested by planting the
“pin maritime,”
The idea was submitted to Napoleon, who saw Its value
end ordered Its execution. The result, says Consul Tourgee,
has been the greatest of his victories. "To-day the dark
squadrons o 7 the pin maritime are posted on thousands of
sandy slopes, faithful guardians In the shelter of which
the vineyards and wheat fields rest secure.” They give not
only protection, but profit. "J.umber. firewood, turpentine
and all the by-products of resinous distillation are now pro
duced In such abundance here as not only to prevent the
need of Importation, but to make southwest France a con
slderable and profitable exporter." even to the United
States.
Meanwhile, by permitting the reckless destruction Of
our own much richer long-leafed pines, which formerly pro
tected our coasts and which asked only to be lot alone, we
are bringing upon ourselves the same desolation that threat
ened France a century ago.—Milwaukee Free Press.
Our Bud College Spelling.
UCII ts said In the papers about college En-
Mglish. The people within and without college
walls declare that students write badly. But
there is a thing more fundamental titan their
I i M>or English style; It is the matter of their
■ spoiling. Many college men, as proved by their
essays, cannot spell. They frequently make
the mistake of transforming writing into wrltting, and of
dining into dinning—an echo probably of the noise of a
college dining room.
But poor spelling is not confined to college students.
College professors are not free from the blame. A letter
lies before the writer in which the distinguished bead of a
most Important department In an American college de
clares that a certain candidate, whom lie has recommended,
is “cbmpetant" A New England college professor has
recently said that in making applications for a place in
English several candidates wrote of the salery. Of course,
also, a man may lack culture and spell correctly. Spelling
Is more or less a matter of an arbitrary bit of knowledge.
But whatever may be the psychological relations of the
art, the schools should teach boys and girls to spell. By In
correct spelling the higher ranges of learning are rendered
less Impressive.—Leslie's Weekly.
When Divorce Is Not an Evil.
HOLESALE and reckless denunciation of di-
Wvorce, so often heard from the clergy, is not in
keeping with reason or with public policy.
— Divorce is not always an evil. Often it is a
blessing.
< The woman with a brute for a husband
would be In sore straits, indeed, If there were
no escape through the law from a union worse than death.
The wife who found herself hopelessly bound to a drunken
sot might well despair if she could find no relief In divorce
laws.
In most States of the Union divorce is not so easy to
procure as the ministers would Intimate. Most State laws
provide that there must be good and sufficient reasons be
fore a husband and wisp can be legally separated. Every

Rock-n-by-Bobyiam In the Forests of
This Little-Known Country.
Our first meeting with the Slfans
presented many ludicrous features,
says a writer in Collier's Weekly. We
were plunging through the gloom of
the forest when our ears were assailed
with a concourse of yells which echoed
through the supernatural silence with
ghostly weirdness. In this forbidding
wilderness we had not looked for signs
of human habitation, so hastily ar
ranging ourselves In position we pre*
parts! ourselves for what seemed an
Inevitable hostile attack. Ixmg and
anxiously we awaited Ilie onslaught
of our supposed hidden assailants,
when again the peace-disturbing sound
echoed almost. It seemed, over our very
heads. Glancing upward, the mystery
was soon explained, for In the lower
branches of the tree we could descry
numerous snu\U bundles, each too large
for any eyry and too small for a wind
fall.
Both my Kiangsi and Gharlkauese
escort, with their superstitious natures
roused by these ghostlike sounds, vis
ibly paled beneath their dusky skins,
and gazed furtively round In order to
seek means of escape from this en
chanted spot. Evei) I was not a little
puzzled and awed until, peering more
closely. I became aware of the fact
that the disturbing elements which
had caused so much concern arose
from the fact that we bad unwittingly
stumbled upon an aboriginal nursery,
and that the. weird and ghostlike
sounds emanated from several hungry
and lusty-lunged infants. Then the
solemn stillness was broken by our
hearty laughter, the Kiangsi and
Gharlkauese. as it to make amends lor
their credulous feart, making the
woods ring with their forced guffaws.

couples are divorced there are the very best of reasons
why they should be. The inside history of unhappy mar

thing appalling. Evon the ministers, who deal in theories
often instead of actualities, Would stand aghast at the
revelation.
I’be indissoluble marriage of mismated men and women
would be an unnecessary hardship which the people, whose
influence makes the laws, would not stand. Nor is It to
be presumed that an Indissoluble marriage law would make
any difference In the matter of hasty marriages. The
couple who embark on fnatrlmony do not look forward to
or take Into consideration the matter of escape, should the

The Wonders of the Wireless.
P”time is coming when the ardent newsgutb-
Terer will go to a hilltop, rig up a small Jointed
pole, point it heavenward, and read the hnp
peuings of the world on a dial; when the cur

HQISE into the azure and pick therefrom the doings
of the nations. But Just at present Russia is
objecting, and raising questions as to the legality of such
measures op the part of the Japanese and British—par
ticularly the British, who have a fondness foi; getting au
thentic news no matter to whom it belongs. Russia says
the correspondent who purloins any wireless messages shall
be treated as a spy. We pass -up the question of just
how she is to enforce her dwuands, seeing her navy is
mostly in winter quarters for the war.
Everybody has an opinion about the woman who takes
down the receiver on" a "party line” and studies up on her
neighbors. But here is another problem: Isdt gentlemanly,
according to international law, to speak over the heads of
the censors, and. ns the Injured New York Times puts It,
“cast dispatches on the nncovenanted air?”
Our own government does not feel called upon to settle
this little question. The Department of State prefers to
wait till softie American citizen Is Involved before it decides
on the Justice of the Russian claims. But this simply
means that public opinion will step in and determine wheth
er it is a breach of neutrality for a man who has some
thing to tell to say it through the atmosphere instead of
by copper wire through a strictly guarded office. At present
the London Times, whose correspondent is the person In
evidence, prefers to speak of the three-mile limit and neu
tral waters. It contends, with British mydness, that if the
British flag flies on the correspondent's ship, there can be
no question that it is all right. In tho cabinets of the
governments there is pondering and palavering, and the
result may be a joint note agreeing to the Russian con
tentions.—San Franelseo Argonaut.
Politeness and Crime.
BUR language and vocabulary, with our grow
ing slackness, are changing. We are carrying
things (otherwise insupportable) with a laugh,
atid coining phrases for the purpose. As has
been said, we are still sensitive to such coarse
words as “thief" and “steal," but it is vain
to deny among ourselves that certain unchal
lenged doings of to-day forcibly suggest those terms. So
we save our face with an indulgent gayety not devoid of
humor. We give a twist and a turn to the rapidly changing
English language, and the ugly words disappear in the
process. When a conductor steals a fare we Jocularly
remark that he is "knocking down oh the company;” wbsu
we steal a ride fropi the same company and conductor we
laughingly refer to our success In "beating the game;” when
we bribe we merely “influence” or “square things;" when
we are bribed we collect "assessments" or “rebates" or
“commissions” or “retainers," and so on until we reach a
grave definition of "honest graft,” which would be more
humorous If so many people did not feel that the term sup
plied them with a long-felt want. Now. these expressions
and others like them may bear a strong resemblance to
thieves' slang, but they merely reflect the language of a
people unconsciously retreating to a lower-pioral level.—
