A THEORY OF KANSAS RAIN.
llr. Snow Say that the Moisture Come
from the Gulf.
The theory tlint the rainfall of Kan
sas depends very largely upon the
snowfall In the Rocky Mountains of
Colorado Is not supported by Ir. F.
II. Snow of the I'rjlverslly of Iansns,
Svho believes that the rnlns of Kansas
are caused by winds from the Citilf
nf Mexico, says the Kansas City Star
Dr. Snow, who has studied the weath
er of Kansas 37 years, supports his
theory by nrfruinent, which is t lie re
sult of close observation. The United
Stales Weather Bureau recently sent
out wiirnhiK to persons In eastern Col
orado out! parts of Nebraska stating
that on account of r deficiency in the
snowfall In the mountains last? winter
Ihe supply of water In the IMntle Riv
er for Irrigation will he exhausted pre
maturely. This has called attention
li ml promoted discussion regarding the
theory w hich at tributes the rainfall
tf Kiiiisns to the melting snow in the
Rockies.
' According to this theory, an exces
live snowfall In the mountains Is fol
lowed by (in iiliiimliint rainfall In Knn
las the following season.Nvhllo ft dp
llcieney of snowfall indicates the prob
ability of n serious deficiency In mini-til.
In talking of the question us to
lie source of Kansas rainfall today,
It. Snow sitiil:
"Notwithstanding the deficiency of
ioiow lu the Rocky Mountain region
lust winter, the rainfall of Kansas In
March nnd April greatly exceeded (he
normal amount huil furnished a sulll
cietit refutation of the theory that
KiniNas rainfall depends upon the
iiiountnlns snow. The most probable
lource of tl. moisture which pro
duces tbe Kansas rainfall is the Gulf
of Mexico. The prevailing winds of
Kansas iu the latter part of spring, the
entire summer and the first half of au
tumn, are from the south and south
west." Dr. Snow's theory is that the winds
of western Kansas come from across
the hot, Kiiidy country of New Mexi
co and western Texas and that iho
winds of eastern Kansas blow over
central northern Texas, central Okla
homa and after crossing Kansas take
a mirth western course through south
eastern Nebraska, northwestern Mis
souri and over Iowa. This territory
is iu the rain l-!t and is not subject
to dry seasons as in western Kan
sas and pans of other states over
w hich the dry hot w inds 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 Kansas and then into
the Dakota a.
"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 tiie regular south
west winds, bringing abundant mois
ture to the eastern part of Kansas,
while the western half of the State

QUICK RESCUE AT SEA.
liottuii Ticked l'p anil Shii Off Again In
Nine MinntcM.
Vincento Mollmw, who is described
admiringly by his fellows, as "a sort
of Irish ibig.i." is Imisuii on the Ward
Line steamship Ksperanza. He has
reason to thank his particular star thut
the crew of the vessel bus had sharp
bout drill. On the last outward voyage
of the Ksperati.a for Havana. Mellu
zo fell overboard, the ship was stopped,
a bout lowered, h" wits picked up and
the vessel started on her course again
all in nine minutes, which is pretty
near a record, according to the New
York Evening l'ost. A woman pas
senger who s.tw the whole thing, saidi
"(Hi. why don't they hurry and do
something! The poor man will drown."
"Ily the Iml Hurry. 1 almost fell
like Insulting her," said an officer of
the ship. "When everything was go
ing Ilristol fashion and' the men jump
ing like cuts at the word, to say a
thing like that to me."
When MelluKo lilt the water he was
fully dressed, but when he was pulled
out seven minutes later he had on only
an undershirt, "and wiis breathing
hard anil trending water."
Mr. Alexander, the first officer of tlia
Ksperaiv.H. told the story:
"It was on a Sunday afternoon and
we were going down the Florida coast
at n fifteen-knot clip. I wits amid
ships with Melluzo and the watch get
ting the accommodation ladder over
sides, so that it would be ready when
we got to Havana. The men had got
it off the grating and swung outlxnird.
The bosun told one of them to do some
thing, hut the man was afraid or some
thing, and Melluzo jumped to do it
himself. As he struck the ladder i
canted and he went Into the watej
sprawling. I sung out for two of tbe
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 th
men to get a txat overboard. We took
the yawl that hangs in davits ovei
the bridge, because It was smallei
than the regular lifelsiats and hart it
in the water iu no time. The bosun
was clean gone when hauled into tin
boat; he could only lay in Ihe bottom
and gasp.
"It was Just nine minutes from lliq
time the alarm was given until Un
ship was under way again."
The feat is all the more credilabla
from the fact that the Ksperanza car
ries Italians forward, many of thern
not able to speak a word of Knglish,
The mates usually give their order
through the bosun.
Karthworms and Moisture.
Earthworms cannot live without
moisture; their food is also dependent
upon it During droughts they burrow
down to moisture often three or foui
feet, and It is only after rains, during
humid weather, or In damp earth that
they may be dug up just under tht
surface or are seen reaching far out
of their holes or even traveling on thfl
surface to new localities, generally al
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 great
est numbers wherever there Is decay
ing vegetation. Worms are friends ol
man and serve an Important economic
purpose. St. Nicholas.
