REGORDS BROKEN BY HOT WEATHER

This Summer's Torrid Spell Surpassed Alf Others in the Length of Its Stay.

FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 9, 1921

CONTROL OF TRAFFIC. Things have changed considerably between the time when the four-ln-hands used to rumble over the old coach roads and the present day, when It has become quite a feat to cross an automobile road on a fine Saturday afternoon. In the same vray the controlling of the traffic has become a very different problem, says the Christian Science Monitor. In the old coaching days polloem.cn at street crossings were unheard of, but with the growth of automobile and motor transport elaborate devices for regulating and expediting trafllc have had to be devised, iuch as "Islands" at busy crossing, subways for pedestrians, mechanical signs, and even searchlights for illuminating policemen on duty at Crossing at night. New York devised a system of traffic towers In Fffth avenue, and recently London employed the airship U-IÖ for controlling the streams of motorenrs on

Derby day. Perhaps there will In time be nothing for it but to build elevated roads for automobiles, and have moving pavements for pedestrians In a hurry.

SCOUTS THEORY OF SUHSPOTS Chief of the Weather Bureau Says Atmospheric Temperaturen Are Not Perceptibly Affected by Spots on the Sun.

There has been no modern controversialists who, in tile audacious use of Scripture, could surpass the once celebrated Colonel Ingersoll, most influential of agnostic lecturers In America a generation ago. Ills antitheological enterprises did not exhaust his energies. Ingersoll was a powerful campaigner for the Republican party and a champion of sound cinrency during the wretched jerlod of inflated money after the Civil war. In a speech on this exciting subject he once delivered himself to the following effect : "I hope to see the day when every greenback In the United States is able to rise up on Its edge and say, I know that my redeemer llveth "

Prof. W. II. Pickering, the American astronomer, lecturing In Manchester, England, upon his interesting olservatloiH in Jamaica, showed photographs of the planet Mars, with what many people call canals and lakes, but not so the professor. He calls them runs und pints, beeauso, he explained, these expressions mean nothing. "It is better to call them something that means nothing till we know what they are," he declared. He evidently agrees with the philosophy of the American humorist who said: "It Is Just as well not to know so much as to know so much that ain't so."

A match thrown carelessly, a cigarette flipped into dry leaves, a camp fire left burning any of these may furnish the spark that sets the flames swceplngg over the forest floor. The young growth is ruined, the older trees are left standing scarred with shriveled leaves, the soli is ash-covered and Impoverished, and nature's hundred years of work is destroyed. A moment Of thoughtlessness means hundred of acres of black devastation.

The Baltimore Sun asserts there are 3,700 cuss words in the American language. Too many for ordinary folks, remarks the Houston Post. The professional cusser may need that many for exhibition purposes, hut start a conflagration in an earnest man's soul. ind he can take a dozen and send the mercury through the top of the thermometer.

The announcement that there Is to be no lowering of the price of ice cream codas and similar concoctions Is disappointing, but it is comforting to remember that such things are not necessaries of life other than flapper life.

Sadly we come to the conclusion that this part of the world has not arrived at a state of Intelligent enlightenment sufficient to enable It to enjoy a summer holiday without a large toll of drownings and other fatal accidents.

Washington. The hot wave that this country experienced this summer has been of unprecedented duration, according to weather experts at the central office of the United States weather bureau here. There have been short durations of a month or less when the temperatures were higher than during the recent hot weather, but never before, the weather men believe, certainly not In the last fifty or sixty years whose temperature records have been dug Into, have abnormal temperatures been so everlastingly on the Job. Even last winter, which we remember as an extremely mild one, was the beginning of the extended heat wave. In the eastern and central states, east of the Rockies, fur the last 11 months, excepting only November, temperatures have been consistently higher than the average temperature over a long stretch of years, which is taken as standard. The people of Boston have been living in Philadelphia during the first six months of this year, so far as tem

perature Is concerned, Alfred J. Henry, meteorologist at the weather bureau has found. The average temperature of Boston has been abnormally high, and from January to June lias equaled that usually experienced Jn Philadelphia. Gets Virginia Weather. New York, America's center of commerce, has been thermonietriealiy located for the same period in Washington, the governmental center of the country, while Washington has been shifted southward ami located on the boundary of Virginia and North Carolina. Out In the middle West, the same southward climatic travel has occurred. I)s Moines, If It were located on the map by Its temperature would be set down In southwestern Missouri, Professor Henry has found. Chicago has, however, been the hot spot of the country this summer, an analysis of reports show. July was the hottest month that that city has had for 51 years. Its average temperature for the month was 2.8 degrees warmer than any other month, l.iie It was 8.8 degrees higher than normal. That city has been so continually hot that the average temperature for July Is higher than the average normal highest temperature, while the average minimum temperature for the month Is 2.1 degrees higher than the normal monthly mean. Twelve July days of above 90 degrees weather broke all previous records, and 54 days when the tempernture was continually above normal were other record breakers. The accumulated excess temperature at Chicago from the first of the year to the end of July has been the large total of

1,753 degrees. This means that since January 1, the average dally excess in temperature has beenv8.3 degrees. The southwestern parts of the country and most of the Pacific coast have been fortunate enough to miss most of the present hot weather. During the past months, there have been deficiencies in temperature in those regions rather than excesses. Europe Also Hit Western Europe has also experienced similar continued hot weather, according to data that have reached here, and it has been accompanied by lack of rain and Is causing drought in England and Frame. How the rest of the world Is affected, weather bureau officials do not know, as data from other sources have come In very slowly and are meage. The theory that sunspots have anything to d with the hot spell Is scouted by Prof. Charles F. Marvin, chief of the weather bureau. Some scientists In Europe and this country have declared that there Is evidently some connection, but Professor Marvin, after examining the data that have been obtained on the Intensity of the radiation during the presence and absence of Min spots, has come to the con-

. elusion that atmospheric temperatures

are not perceptibly affected by spots on the sun. We find that the temperatures and rainfall seem to vary with the pressures of the atmosphere, particularly in the so-called 'centers of action which seem to be critical points for atmospheric changes," Professor Marvin states. 'These large air movements caused by pressure changes seem to be real causes of temperature changes and precipitation, but we have yet to learn what causes them. The long hot . spell that we have been experiencing Is no sure sign that It will continue and that we will have a late fall, according to Prof. J. Warren Smith who studies the weather and Its influence on crops and outdoor operations. The most recent hot spells that do not equal the present one In length but exceed It in temperature occurred during July. 1001, and August, 1918, according to P. C. Day, climatologlst at the weather bureau,

BOTH WORKSHOP AND HOME. "The barn will build the home." This Is the reason most often given fr the construction of a modern structure for the shelter of the live stock, while the farmer and his family continue to dwell in cramped quarters. It Is true that largely through the care of live stock the farmer prospers. The barn Is his workshop, his factory. But too often he continues to put more money lpto the business, into machinery, iand, live stock, while the construction of a house Is indefinitely postponed. There Is no reason why farm life should not be so comfortable and enjoyable as city life. Modern Improvements have seen to that. But In many cases it Is not. The home becomes merely a shelter, a resting place for the farmer when he is not working. A good many forget that the home is the workshop of the farm wife, says Kansas Industrialist. Why should It not be as modern and efficiently equipped as that of the farmer? But more important than the workshop idea Is the fact that It Is home. And a home should be something more than a house; it should be homelike. More real farm home iill tend to agricultural stability and genuine prosperity.

The damage to Reims cathedral Is grist to the mill of the antiquarian. Under the pavement of the choir were found the foundations of St. Hint-mar's cathedral, which was burnt down In the Ninth century, and still deeper were uncovered traces of the early church of St. Remigius, a missionary bishop who baptized King Clovis and 3.000 Franks in the last years of the Fifth century. Under the altar the most treasured discovery was a well, the leiul piping from which guides to the position of the baptismal font at which that historic event occurred. So the sorrow of the lover of architectural beauty is in a degree compensated by the joy of the historian.

Now that night aerial mail service has been established it must be underStood that midnight Hyers and other owls are to keep out of the established air lines. If the heavens are to be cluttered up with Joy riders a Mercury with a regular beat Is liable to be bothered.
