ONCE MORE THE TONGUE (Stratford Beacon -Herald) Seems only a -few weeks ago since a young school teacher in British Co- lumbia took her own life because lain of'the trustees, by their wiggling tongues, made life so miserable for her that she could not stand it any longer, Now it is Mrs. Iodd_y of Owen Sound, a married' woman .of 22, and the another of two little children. A neighbor had stated that her husband' was running around with other wom- en. The husband and his wife went to see the woman whose tongue work - el so readily and found out that there was nothing 'in the ;story. Apparently the mischief had been clone and Mrs. Buddy was not to be fully persuaded. That is the reason why she went to .a drug store and purchased bichloride of mercury, and- it is also the reason why she swal- lowed the poison and died from its effects. The tongue, according to surface measurement, is not a very great rnember of the body, but it is large enough to plunge others so deep into abject mental desolation that life is no longer worth living. 1 Strome -Carlson AGAIN Stromberg-Carl- son leadsradio forward!!

What kind 'ot, questions doe. the public adk: the 'Weeatherauaat There is "linnet' no end to their variety, we are told ld b'y a' writer in Popular Mechanics M,agazrne. Thele are, however. e ' i. is questions that are esicen over .arid over again.. Some of these relate to the dates and other partic pars of memorable storms, cold winters; floods and other out; standing weather events.` At least three or'lour. tinier a year somebody. asks for information about the "Big Wind in Ireland," it is stat- ed. This name is applied to a violent tempest that swept over the, British Isles,ln January, 1839, causing great destruction by land and sea. Strange ter say, though it is almost completely forgotten in the Old Country, 1 it frequently heard a3 in America. It was a recent event 'en the time Irish, emigration to this country was, at high tide, following the terrible Pam- ine of 1845-46, and the memory of it has been preserved among the de- scendants of the Irish who came over at that period. The public is always much inter- ested In record-breaking extremes of weather.' There are many questions as to the highest and lowest tem- peratures ever registered, the places having the, greatest and least rain- fall, the strongest winds ever observ- ed, and ao on. Statistics on such subjects necessarily vary somewha. from. year to year. Bevel -al places, for instance, have successively held the blue ribbon for hot weather. For many years this distinction was en- joyed by Wargla; a town In the Al-. gerian Sahara. Then,. in 1913, Death Valley, Cal.,: established a new world,' record, with a reading of 134 ' de- grees. This held good until 1922, when it was surpassed by two rfe;•rP'; a. the village of Azfzla, in the Italian Sahara. The low temperature record has been hid since 1892 by Verkhoy- ausk, Siberia, close to the Arctic Cir- cle, withan official reading of 90 de- grees below zero, The : rainiest known place in til United States Is Glenora, Tillavlur1' County, Oregon, where the rainfall averages 1311k inches a year, and the driest is Death' Valley, where i averages a little over one and one- half' inches a year. Whether the heaviest snowfall occurs in the bigb Sierra of California or on the upper slopes of Mount Rainier, Wash., is an unsettled question. Chicago's nickname, "the. Windy City," raises the question whether the city is actually windier than others. The answer is that the wind measure- ments in Chicago show a higher aver - a .e then in any other large city of the United States (only slightly Wall- er than in New York), but are sur-' passed at many smaller towns on both the Atlantic and 'Pacific coasts. The strongest wind ever measured on this continent was nominuliy 186 miles an hour, registered on the Summit of Mt, Washington N:iLI., Jan. 11, 1878,• hut •er ain necessary corrections reduce this figure to about 140 miles an hour. Far stronger winds occur in tornadoes, but thy have never been n easureci. "How.large are the biggest hail - tones,?" is` a pe.rennlaI question. Huge masses of ice have sometimes eeu-found after hailstorms, bu' the3' were doubtless the result of several, hailstones f'r'eezing together whip ly- ing in a heap on the ground. The reatest possible size of a single hail - tone cannot be stated with any cer- ainty. In August, 19. l5, a hailaton , weighing four and o .e-lralf pounds fell through the roof of a house al Hcidgraben, Schleswig-Holstein.. Tbls tone was nearly ton inches long. here have been several bigger hail - tones, but they were not so well uthentieated, "Why," the Weatherman is asked, 'is a hailstone built, np, like an Mon, of successive Layers?" Hail is ormed in the violent updra:ught of it at the front of a thunderstorm. n this turbulent region the hall - tone, first frozen at a high .level; makes several journeys' alternately cip and down as it enounters stronger Or weaker rising currents; at one. time gathering a' coating of snow loft, and at another a coating of ice: from rain below, until finally, on ac- count of its large size or on account of a weakening of the up2rard blast, it falls to the ground'. Two rare . phenomena that the Weatherman cannot explain to his ovvn satisfaetione much' less to that of the layman, are hall lightning and will -o' -.rte -wisp, St. Eln o's lire—a harmless brush ischarge of electricity from pointed S b s s T a 0 f a I s a d objec's--.is sontething that most peo- ple. have read of but few have seen. 7 is commonest on high rnorintalns; less common at sea.
