MINIATURE STORMS IN CITY
-
Movements of Air Currents, Doveb
oped by High Buildings, Maks
Study That ia Intereating.
You may learn many Interesting
things about air currents and the way
storms develop by watching the move -1
ment of pieces of paper, or perhaps
your hat, as it Is whirled about the
street.
A variety of miniature windstorms
are developed by the high buildings
•of our cities of the forms of streets,
which will repay careful study. On
a hot day even, when the air Is per¬
fectly Quiet, the atmosphere, as it be¬
comes heated tends to rise against the
bides of rocks or buildings, and If it
travels far enough will develop in a
strong wind, which descends on the
opposite side and plays queer pranks.
A small whirlwind Is often produced
by the action of wind against a cor¬
ner formed by several buildings. As
the wind travels down a street, espe¬
cially a narrow one, it rapidly in¬
creases in velocity. A little will spill
into the side streets, but the main
stream will flow on, gathering mo¬
mentum.
Watch the wind strike against the
side of a high building and notice
how it mushrooms out on all sides,
splitting into many air currents and
trace these till they come bo rest, but
be sure to hold tightly to your hat in
the meantime.—Boys’ Life.
JURORS AND TRIAL LAWYERS
Men Who Render the Verdict Said to
Have a Distinct Influence
Over the Couneel.
Juries differ widely. Charles Rus¬
sell used to say, for instance, that
there was all the difference to the
world between English and Irish
, Juries, remarks the Manchester (Eng.)
Guardian. Irish juries enjoyed the
fun and the drama of a trial; they
entered Into it all and appreciated the
cut and thrust; whereas English
juries were concerned more with won¬
dering how soon they would be re¬
leased.
But there Is a characteristic com¬
mon to all juries. They have quite as
much influence, though In a different
way, over counsel as counsel have
over them. One of the greatest of
advocates, Scarlett, Lord Abinger, de¬
clared that his success was due chiefly
to the rule be made of selecting one
particular juryman, not necessarily the
foreman, qpd addressing the argument
as if to him personally. He would
then work away till he felt that he
had convinced this man and could re¬
ly on him when the verdict was being
considered.
African Seeds.
Sixteen hundred of seeds and plants
of African fruits, vegetables,, grains
and flowers not common to this conn- i
.try have been sent to the United ;
States Department of Agriculture for
a test as to their adaptability to Amer
lean soil as a result of a trip made by
Dr. H. L. Shantz, as agricultural ex
plorer. Dr. Shantz accompanied the
Smithsonian-African expedition which
made a tour of Interior Africa from i
Cape Town to Cairo, penetrating the
Orange Free State, the Transvaal, the
Kongo, East Africa, the Sudan and
Egypt, with side trips to other parts
of the continent and adjacent islands,
Among the 'many new crops, one
that is viewed with Interest Is a j
gourd two feet long, which contains 1
two gallons of succulent seed about
the size of an. almond. The meat of ■
these seeds resembles that of the but
.ternut their possibilities in taste, and. In nut addition substitute, to I j
as a
they are rich in oil. Many new kaffir
corns and sorghums, as well as grasses,
suitable for the semlurid West, as well
as the pine lands of the South, some
excellent new mangoes, a number of
oil , plants, , some dry-land rice, and
a ;
large number of grains and grasses j
are among the specimens. The depart
ment has found that several crops '
which adapted flourish to the in southern centra^ Africa are |
parts of the
southwestern United States. The
Amerlcan-Egyptlan cotton and Sudan
grass are among the noteworthy ac
qulsltions as a result of previous ex¬
peditions.
Giant Eels.
It is said there are eels no one can
land. Some years ago a giant conger ,
was caught In shallow water off the !
shores of England. It measured 8 feet
8 Inches In length and weighed 148 *
pounds. Congers half that size have
been known to bite a man’s hand In
two and to have driven their teeth
through In 1913 the Kakanamsku, blade of an the oar. j
champion !
swimmer of Honolulu, was attacked
by a giant eel, which dragged him
under water, and held him there for
nearly two minutes. He escaped at
test, but at the cost of a finger from
bis Vight hand.
Eels attain an Immense size In the
rivers of New Zealand and have been
known to attack bathers. In fact,
many cases* of drowning hive been I
proven to be where eels have dragged
the bathers beneath the surface of
the water.
CATARRH CAN BE CURED.

influenced by constitutional condi¬
tions. It therefore requires constitu¬
tional treatment. HALL’S CATARRH

FIRES OF PECULIAR ORIGIN
Many Disastrous Conflagrations Have
Been the Result of Incidents of
Most Trivial Character.
There have been a number of cases
lately of women’s frocks catching fire
without any obvious cause. The mis
chief has now been traced to an “art
silk” which Is really material pro
pared during the war for the manu
facture of cartridges.
Fires ard started to all sorts of odd
ways. A man had Just taken his
seat at dinner when his dress Jacket
burst Into flames. The solution was
*°und In the fact that a potash throat
tosenge, loose in his pocket, had be
come Ignited by pressure against the
slde of a safety match box.
A tow years ago a rounded window
in*,a chemist's the^rays shop at Scarborough
focused of the sun so that
they set fire to a celluloid box, while
a fly was responsible for the destruc¬
tion of a large house at Westport, to
New Zealand. The insect flew into
a gas Jet, a^ i, escaping with its wings
ablaze, him lered into a rpuslin cur¬
tain which at once burst into flames.
Birds have been responsible for
more than one conflagration. At
Coverack, in Cornwall, a chimney to
a farmhouse took fire. Out of it
fluttered an owl with its feathers
burning. It settle^ on a hayrick, and
the' latter was completely destroyed.
Rain falling on a truck of lime at
Beecles Station caused a fire which
destroyed the truck and its contents,
and the string of a military kite fall¬
ing across overhead tramway wires
and a wooden house caused the de¬
struction of the latter.
A strange case occurred in a wood
near Grange over Sands. Red ants
had constructed a huge hill In the
roots of a splendid flr tree. Hot
weather dried the heap, which was
composed of vegetable matter. Then
came warm rain and a return of heat.
Chemical action resulted in spon¬
taneous combustion, and the heap Ig¬
nited, setting fire to the tree and
bringing it to the ground,—London
Tit-Bits.
Colors Affect the Health.
It is no longer a theory, but a proven
fact, that certain colors produce cer¬
tain desirable or extremely disastrous
effects, even upon the ordinarily sen¬
sitive mind. Psychologists, eminent
physicians, and skilled decorators are
making a keen study of this subject,
all( j e ach~ year discloses some new
and valuable truth.
For a long time we have known that
blue and violet were employed suc
cessfully in treating nervous cases;
and so soothing indeed is blue that,
when used in a whole room scheme—
walls, curtains, rugs—It acts as a par¬
tial anesthesia upon extremely sensi¬
tive- natures, sufficient for dental pur¬
poses or the carrying out of minor op¬
erations.
Red develops the action of the
muscles as much as *0 per cent and
is often employed in the medicinal
world where stimulating results are
desired, as in the/treatment of small
pox, melancholia and certain forms of
anemia. Red, therefore, is not a good
color to choose when decorating the
of a “teenage” child, for, aside
from its hot and heavy suggestion in
summer, it overstimulates the already
restless nature of the growing boy
or girl.—Good Housekeeping.

Rich Agricultural Land,
The Egyptian fellah rarely eats
meat. He works with every member
of his family, twelve, fourteen or six
teen hours a day. He rarely touches
wheat flour. He makes a flour of his
own from a plant which we would
call a weed. But he works the most
valuable agricultural land in the
world, Under irrigation it produces
three crops a year. It sells for as
much as $1,500 or $2,000 an acre. His
cotton sold last year for $200 a kan
tar of 105 pounds weight. Prices just
now are dtown to a quarter of that,
Banks and corporations and such like
sound financiers are much worried
over the situation,
But not the fellah, He followed
the good old advice and put last
year’s money into land.
Spooks Contradictory.
One of the features of Sir Oliver
Lodgers “Raymond," which attracted
much comment, was the alleged
statement of the spirit Raymond that
tobacco and cocktails wait) available
in the spirit world, Raymond's testi¬
mony receives a challenge in "Reve
lations of Louise,” by Albert A.
Crockett. One of the spirits in this
record asks for a cigar and says; “I
bave not smoked since I died, We
don’t have toba *o over here.” He
then explains that when the spirit re¬
enters the flesh its appetites come back
as in llfe-v-From a Bulletin of E. A.’

NO SUBSTANCE TO DREAMS
Writer Give# Reasons for Hsr Refusal
to Hava Any Belief in Common
■**.. Superstitions.
, • v
The mind during sleep reminds me oi
a naughty child, writes Marlon Holmes
ip the Chicago Dally Mews. With a
normal person during waking hoars
reason controls it and when it seems
inclined to let loom a foolish train
of thought rebukes it with “Nonsense 1
hehave yourself!” But when reason
goes to sleep the mind has seasons
of wild capering. It makes you do
things that when awake would scorch
you with blushes. It causes you to
go to church dressed In your very
best except your shoes and stockings,
which you And you have left at home
It makes you marry a dark man with
big black whiskers when you already
have a perfectly satisfactory husband
who la blond and smooth faced. There
la nothing that It will not do uncon¬
trolled by reason. Therefore I never
have had much faith in the prophetic
duality of dreams, although there are
persons who pin their faith to those
so-called warnings. We have heard
them say. “I dreamed last night that
I had lost a tooth. That means bad
news," or "I dreamed of walking
among ruined buildings. That means
that somebody In the family is going
to be 111,*’ and, like fortune telling, the
predictions that do not “make good”
are forgotten.
A recurrent dream is of no impor¬
tance, I have known the same stage
Betting with its Incidents to be pre¬
sented over and over in sleeping vis¬
ions without ever reaching its'coun¬
terpart in reality. An uncomfortable
ponition during sleep, or the fact that
you are not feeling well often occa¬
sions troubled dreams.
