HOW WEATHER COLORS STONE AND SOIL Weather stories written in stones are there for him to read who can. On the crest of the Appalachian Mountains, especially in West Virginia and Pennsylvania, there is glistening sand stone and great blocks of pebbled conglomerate as white as snow. The stones about them are yellowish or brown. But along the shore ol the Gulf ot Mexico we still finn glistening white sand. The white rocks on the top of the Allegheny Mountains resemble the white sands of Florida. What stories do they tell? Millions of years ago West Virginia and Pennsylvania were sea beaches, and the warm Gulf i stream flowed where the moun cams now stand. The white ueacnes in those days glistened against the blue water, just like r lorida does today. It’s odd, isn't i it, to think of a sea beach turned to stone on a mountain top. Red rock denotes that once the weather was too dry. The ordin-1 ary brownish-yellow coloring matter in sand and stones is iron rust. This iron rust contains water as, a part of its chemical nature. When the air is too dry iron rust gives up a part of its water and in so doing it changes from yellow to red. just as a yellow mud brick turns red when it is baked. Wherever you see red soil you can be sure that once', long ago. that place was a desert. Large sections of Texas, Oklahoma. Mississippi. Alabama and Georgia, now , all well watered, have red soil., and this redness comes from the | time when this section was drier I than it is now. In Connecticut they have a! beautiful brown colored stone, highly prized as building material.. How did the stone get that way?j when the Appalachian Mountains t were a great deal higher than they are now they cut off the Gulf Stream of the Air. Connecticut then was a desert too. So today people can quarry brown stone 1 there. The Gulf Stream of the Air acts I something like a gigantic hose, I which squirts a jet of rainy airi here and there upon the United States. Between now and June the bulk of the rain jets will flow t across the southeastern states. Another part will flow over the

The Western Plains are going to receive moderate amounts of water, but probably not enough to put the soil in first class condition. WEATHER QUESTIONS Q. Will the solar eclipse of Oct. 12th be total here, and will any planets be visible during the eclipse? J.E.W. A. The path of totality of this eclipse will be confined to Antarctica. It will not be visible elsewhere. Q. Will you please tell me ( what to do to prevent steam from forming on bedroom and other windows? 1 wipe the water off and in a short while the windows are wet again. Mrs. S.A.M. A. Use storm windows. The layer of air between the two panes of glass will not transmit cold air to the inner window. A small electrio fan will also keep steam or frost from forming. Q. Is there an electrical factor in storms which, when air pres sure, temperature and humidity are favorable to precipitation, will either, cause or check precipitation’ A. R. B. A. Yes, but the quantity of electricity needed to control rainfall is too big for u* to handle in a practical manner. EARTHQUAKES Earthquakes are dangerous only when they strike unaware.
