Weather A Week Ahead i As Forecast By PROF. SELBY MAXWELL. Noted Meteorologist J M

TEMPERATURE AND RAINFALL FOR INDIANA. April 11 to 17. Cool weather will prevail over the greater part of Indiana, with normal temperatures over lhe S. E. and N. W. sections. The extreme S. ' portion of the state will be normal. Wet weather will prevail over the | N. W. portions of Indiana, but the remaining areas will be moderately wet.

Why It Is Wet In the Former Dust Areas of the West Most of the former dry areas of the Western Plains are now green with grass. Flowers are blooming over expanses where only two years ago there was drifting dust. Western streams which were recently dry are n<rw filled with water. What is the reason for this? Has science any answer to this riddle? Yes. The answer lies in the location of the Gulf Stream of the Air. There is a river of wet air which flows through the earth's air envelope and brings rain and water to the eastern and central portions of the Vwited States. This I river of air follows in a general way the path of the Gulf Stream lof the Ocean, hence its name, the i "Gulf Stream of the Air."

This Gulf Stream of the Air gathers heat and moisture along the shores of South America and in the Caribbean Sea. and Gulf of Mexico and by the time it reaches the coast of Texas. Louisiana, Alabama, and Florida it is frill of water vapor. As it passes over the land it drops this moisture as tain The Gulf Stream of the Air does not keep the same path all the time. Due to the varying gravity pull of the moon and tile san on the earth's air envelope, the Gulf Stream of the Air shifts its course. Sometimes it lies in lhe east over the Atlantic Seaboartl. and other times it conies as far west as the bam- of tlio Rocky Mountains. Where tile Gulf Stream flows we have plenty of rain. Where it does not flow we have only drought.

Once my party went through a heavy storm tropical in Its severity —in North and South Carolina and Georgia, where rain came down in such torrents that the water stood inches deep on top of an elevated highway. The top |of our touring car was little proj lection in snch a downpour and the | cushions of the car were soaked I like sponges. We then drove rapI idly to New Orleans, and from I there we turned north through ArI kansas into the dusty area. Before | the seat cushions of the car dried i out we were running through dust Iso thick that it was impossible to I see many yards ahead on the road I This incident shows the difference I between country traversed by the Gulf Stream of the Air and country not so favored This year it is comparatively dry mi the Atlantic Seaboard, while heavy rains are coming north from the western part of the Gulf of Mexico. We will now have a good crop vear in the west. WEATHER ’QUESTIONS Question Do you think Lake M-'iul which is formed by the

Outstanding among the awe-in-spiring spectaci hat will draw visitors from all the ends of the earth to the New York 1939 World’s Fair, will be the majestic "Court of Flame," the focal point and main entrance to the gas industry's exhibit. ■ In the center of the Court, which is open to the sky, a tenfoot cube of glass resting or. one of its corners will spiral skyward a perpetually flaming gas torch. Around this impressive central motif with its unique ring-like roof will rise four 90-foot pylons, each wrapped in a wave of flame, symbolizing the fuel on which the whole gas industry is built. The industry's $750,000 exhibit group, a "triumph in modern exposition architecture,” was designed by the firm of Skidmore and Owings, John Moss Associate, of New York and Chicago, for the co-operative, not profit corporation known as Gas Exhibits, Inc., organized by gas utility companies and manufacturers of gas appliances and equipment throughout I the United States to conduct and manage the industry's participation in the Fair, and to adequately present to the public the roi •

Boulder Dam. iu the cuuse of the floods In California? (F. D.) Answer—No. Lake Mead is too small to have much effect on climate, and in addition, it lies to the east of California, and could not possibly affect California's weather, which comes from the west. Question According to the weather map the buronieteric' pressure was very high this last' winter 111 Canada Why didn't this bring extreme cold weather to Chicago, instead of normal, or above normal, weather and rain? (H. W l i Answer—The Gulf Stream of the Air, from the Gulf of Mexico, was < unusually strong in the middle west last winter and dominated conditions in this area. Question That heavy nucleus in the center of the earth of only 2.000 feet in diameter which you described recently. Is Interesting. I'd like u hint of how mathematics , can discover snch h tiling? <H.G 8.l ; Answer — In fourth dimension mathematics the world is thought of as consisting of four things, space, time, energy and matter. The ordinary rocks we stand on are surprisingly empty of matter, consisting mostly of energy—molecules in motion. But deep in the center of the earth there are rocks that are mostly matter. Question How is the average rainfall per month found? Per year? How often does it rain? i (D. C.) Answer — To find the average rain per month we take the total inches of rain in the rain gauge, and divide it by the days of the month. For a year, we divide by 365'4. In agricultural areas, on the average, it rains once every 3 days. On a 50-50 basis, you can always bet it won’t rain, and win.

SPRING MIGRATION OF THE BIRDS Often, as astronomers sit ! watching the moon through their telescopes, they see the flit of frail little birds flying through the darkness. They are visible for an instant as the.y i | are silhouetted against the ' : bright full moon. Most of our i song birds fly at night, waiting j till they get a strong tail wind to carry them to their destination. Prof. Selby Maxwell has written a fascinating account of migration of the birds. You can obtain this account free, I with the compliments of this newspaper, l>y sending in your I | name and a 3c stamped self addressed envelope for reply. ■ Jnst ask for “Birds." Rev.

At the base of the glass cube i and grouped around the pylons. ■ dramatic displays and models will show the scientific background, such as manufacture, refinement, storage and distribution, that makes possible the various utilizations of gas fuel. Adjoining the "Court of Flame," ( on one side, will be the main exhibit area for gas appliances of every description. Here will be portrayed the history of cooking throughout the rise of civilization. A graphic exhibit will demonstrate how refrigeration is produced by a gas flame. Old fashioned methods of heating will be ( vividly contrasted with the recent advances in the science of heating . and air-conditioning.
