EUN-FI DOES
NIT AFFECT
RAINFAFF
LONDON, Jan. 11—(Correspondence
■ of the Associated Press)—English
sclentsts have again been compelled to
assure the public that neither the
smell of powder nor the concussion of
gun fire has the slightest connection
with rainfall. From several sources
it has been asserted that the heavy #)!d
persistent rnins recently experienced
In Southern England and Northern
France were attributed to atmospheric
disturbances produced by artillery fire
at the seat of war.
"Like the supposed Influence of the
moon upon weather, the popular be
lief that powder brings rain is base
less,” writes a scientist in the Times.
"About four years ago the First Lord
of the Admiralty was gravely asked
in the House of Commons whether he
would instruct the fleet to carry out
its heavy gun practice at some other
period of the year than in the middle
of hurvest time, ‘when the resultant
heavy rains may bring loss to the
farming community.’ The idea is ab
solutely without foundation. Exper
iments made in America and on the
Continent show that in dry weather
no amount of concussion has the
slightest effect In the production of
rain.
“At the present time there is one
fact that should at once dispose of
the cherished theory. There is no
reason for thinking that gun firing
at the front is more violent than it
was in the earlier stages of the war.
As a matter of fact, nothing of the
kind took place. In August and Sep
tember the rainfall was much below
the average.
“At Shoeburyness, where the big
guns are tested almost dally, year in
and year out, the average annual rain
fall is smaller than in any other part
of the United Kingdom.”

OF ART TO
FAIR
PARIS, Jan. 11—(Correspondence
of the Associated Press)—An art col
lection on a navy collier is a depart
tire fiom recognized artistic standards
which is now being arranged. When
the U. S. S. Jason leaves Marseilles
during Janunry, it will carry as a part
of its cargo many works by American
artists for exhibition at San Francis
co. As an added incentive the Pan
ama-Paciflc Exposition has reserved
a special section for the works of non
resident artists.
Juries composed of recognized mas
ters in Pnris and London have woeded
out much of the undesirable or freak
ish until a decidedly representative
collection has been obtained. The
was has had little appreciable effect
as with only one or two exception!
the jury is the same as was choser
to meet early in August, when the
outbreuk of hostilities made it neces
sary to postpone the meeting indef
initely.
From the seventy-five works whicl
were submitted to the Paris Jury, 1
were accepted. They consisted chiel
ly of figures, and landscapes of Bril
tany and Normandy. Nudes wer
conspicuous by their absent, and ma
rines were in the minority. Amoni
the "lucky seventeen" are Charle
Thorndyke. Edwin O’Connell. Lione
Walden, Park Dougherty, Max Bohr
and several others. The jury con
posed of Walter McEwen as chairmar
Walter Gridin, W. T. Dannat, H. C
Tanner, Myron Barlow and Harry Var
(lerweyden have all decided to sen
some representaitve work. Many c
the exhibitors express anxiety cor
corning transportation. Special car
is necessary in packing, as owing t
the moisture and dampness in a ship’
hold, the risk of the canvasses bein
mildewed is great. Many other did
cultles have been experienced, such a
obtaining consular receipts, in orde
that the pictures and frames may h
exempt from duty.

1 RERUN, Jan. 11—(Correspondent
1 of the Associated Press)—Prisoner:
of war exercise upon many women th<
same attraction noted so often In thi
cases of renowned criminals, accord
1 ing to some German observers.
With the advent of the first train
1 load of prisoners in Germany last fal
came stories, describing Indignantly
1 how flowers and dainties had been
1 showered upon the prisoners, and how
many girls and women exhibted great
pleasure at securing a button from a
military coat or some other keep
sake.
The rugged old soldier command
ing the prisoner's camp at Friedrichs
felde, near VVesel, has, according to a
report in a Wesel pnper, hit upon a
novel scheme for punishing the cu
rious women who flock In great num
hers to see the prisoners in his charge.
V Isitors are denied admittance to the
camp, but many get as nonr as possi
ble and try to talk to the prisoners.
A number of these women were taken
in charge by the sentries and led be
fore the commandant. Ills decree
was this:
"The women arrested will be con
ducted to the camp kitchen where
they will peel potatoes for three
hours.”
The following manifesto, signed by
Colonel von Winters, commandant of
the prisoners' camp at Goerlltz, is
published.
"The three young women who felt
themselves moved to send their photo
graphs to the Russian prisoner, Geo.
Ilirschberg, are requested to come to
the office of the commandant and take
them away. If they do not their
names will be made public."
Three others who fell in love with
wounded French prisoners of war and
became engaged to them, have been
dismissed In disgrace from their posts
as volunteer hospital nurses. The
Commanding general at Strassburg
In communicating their delict to the
public through the newspapers, iden
tified them by Christian names, initials
and addresses to the entire community
from which they came.

AIREDALE SAID TD BE
FINEST MILITARY DBG
LONDON, Jan. 11—(Correspondence
of the Associated Press)—The finest
military dog is the Airedale, in the
opinion of Major K. II. Richardson, a
breeder of war dogs, who wns ir
1 charge of a pack of bloodhounds in the
r
Belgian army until they were lost ir
the disaster at Mons.
He sayB the Airedale can stand any
climate, is second to none in faith
fulness and intelligence, has powert
of hearing and scent remarkably acut<
and is the right size, whether UHei
on sentry duty, scouting, searchiny
for the wounded or ns a mes * gei
or ammunition carrier.
“He can hear 300 yards farther thai
a man and knows friend from foe by
their smell,'' says Major Richardson
“A man’B smell depends on what h<
eats, so a dog can tell the different
lye tween English, French and tier
man even when they are dressed ii
* the same kind of clothes."
An officer wrote to the Major ii
< regard to one of his dogs:
"Don was blown twenty yards by i
h bursting shell. He was not hit, oul
r
scared. He declined to face the must
B
nny more until after a lot of coaxlny:
when he went back on night duty
watching and listening in the trenche
with the intentness of the most sea
soiled sentry, aided further by :
sense, sight and smell that was almos
uncanny.”
