he publishes three times in every twen-
ty four hours. But the atmosphere va
ries not only in weight, but also in tenn
perature. The thermometer tells US OF
such changes. Besides this, the air con-
tains a great amount of moisture, and it
shows as much variation in this charac-
teristic as in the others. For the pur-
pose of making known the changes in
the moisture of the atmosphere an in
strument has been invented called a
"wet-bulb' thermometer,
We are thus enabled to ascertain the
weight or pressure, the temperature,
and the wetness of the air, and now it
only remains for us to measure the force
and point out the direction of the wind.
This is done by the familiar weather
vane and the anemOmeter. The vane
shows the direction, and the anemome-
ter is an instrument which indicates the
velocity Of the wind.
1t is by right understanding OF all
these instruments that the signal service
officer is enabled to tell what the wealth.

with which the weather writes out the
facts from which the officer makes uI
his reports for the benefit of all concern

the storm may seem to come, it sends
messengers telling just where it arose
what course it will take, and how far il
will extend. But it tells its secrets only
to those who pay strict attention.

THE MENNONITES.-NOt many per
sons seem TO know in What the Men
nonites, who are arriving here to settle
in the West, differ from other immi
grants and other sects Most of those
who have made their homes Oh the 9TH
er side of the Mississippi, like those now
coming, are Russians, and by their in
teIligence, sobriety, thrift aid Industry
make excellent citizens. They are y
sort of Quaker Baptists, agreeing in the
main with the Baptist denominations,
though they believe usually in sprink-
| ling instead of immersion. They are
wholly opposed, along with the Society
of Friends, to taking oath, holding ONCE,
capital punishment, and employing
force, all of which they regard as incon
sistent with the spirit and teachings of
Christianity. They believe that the
New Testament is the sole rule of faith !:
that the terms Person and ,frin,ty
should not be applied to the Father, Son
and Holy Spirit; that infants should not
be baptized, and that there is no original
sin. Their first organization WAS by
Memo Simonis, in Holland, in the six
tenth century, and they settled in this
country lin and about Germantown,
.Penn.,) as early is 1853. They have
since spread over Penns, lvauia, are
found in this State, Mary land, Ohio, In
diana. Illinois, and particularly in Kan
sas, Nebraska, Minnesota and Dakota.
They have been much prosecuted in
the past, persecution materially redHc-
ing their numbers. Toward the end OF
the eighteenth century several thousand
German h1enbonites took rouge in
Southern Russia, and i: is their deseen-
dants who are making their homes in
the West. The Emperor Paul granted
them freedom forever from military ser
vice, and their nHmber has SINCE largely
Increased from continuous immigration.
It is estimated that there are now over
100000 Ia the United States, and they
are steadily multi, lying. They are
much esteemed wherever they settle,
despite certain peculiarities, including
la love Of eRclQsivagess. We should
are averse to seeking office. Wecannnt
encourage too literally any such class
of citizens. We should like the Men
nonites to send out missionaries to the
native Americans, particularly to our
hosts of politicians, in the hope of in
spring them with hatred of Office. As

seeking, it is not haed TO understand
why they dlsbelieve in original sin, or
why they are opposed to capital punish
ment. Almost any man, after he has
been persistent office seeker and fre'
quens ofEee. holder, either has, or ought
to have from Misunderstanding if from
no other cause, ample faith in something
akin to total depravity.

This is too true. He is high old

"A YEAR WITHOUT A SUMMER II
aged resident of Hartford remembers
that the Winter OF 1S29-'30 surpassed
this in mildness. Farmers ploughed
every month of the season, and DO snow
fell until February 2. The Winter was
followed, however, by cold, bac:s ward
Spring, with snow storm in Nav
which killed the returning swallows.
AS an offset to the above story. one of
the old residents of Derby tells us the
year 1916 is what is known as the .svear
without a Summer" Old New Eng
land farmers refer to it as eighteen
hundred and starved to death.u Janua-
ry was mild, as was also February, with
the exception of a few days. The great
er part of March was cold and boisterous.
In May ice formed half an inch thick
buds and flowers were frozen, and corn
was killed. Frost, ice and snow were
common in June. Almost every green
thing was killed and fruit was nearly
all destroyed. Snow fell to the depth of
three inches in New York and Massa.
chusetts, and ten inches in Maine. July
was accompanied with frost and ice
On the fifth ice was formed of the thick
ness OF window glass in New York.
New England and parts of Pennsylva-
MIA, and corn was nearly all destroyed
in certain sections. In August ice
formed half an inch thick. Corn was so
frozen that a great deal was cut down
and dried for fodder Very little ripen-
ed in the New England and Middle
States. Farmers were obliged to nav
four and five dollars bushelSfor corn of
1915 for seed for the next Springs plant
ing. The first two weeks of September
were mild; the balance of the month
was cold, with frost, and ice formed a
quarter of an inch thick.

How THE WEATHER is FoREToLD-
The atmospheric has weight, just as
water or any other fluid, although it
seems to be perfectly bodiIess. We
must comprehend that the transparent.
invisible air is pressing inward toward
the centre of the earth. This pressure
varies according to the state of the wea-
Their, and the changes are indicated by
an instrument called the barometer.
Generally speaking, the falling of the
mercury in the tube of the barometer in
dictates rain, and its rise heralds clear
weather. Sometimes the rise is follow
ed by cold winds, frost, and ice. What
these changes really indicate, however,
can be determined only by comparing
the barometric changes, at certain hours,
in number of places very far apart
This is done by the signal service. OBJ
are made at about one hum
dree and forty stations, in different por-
lions of the country, at given hours, and
the results are telegraphed at once to

er clerk" receives them, reasoning out

How 70 AVOID SuN-SrRok E.-fhe
following practical directions as to how
to avoid 4 sun-stroke, and how to treat
a patient suffering with it, will be found
of use during the heated term:
"Sun-stroke is caused by excessive
heat, and especially if the weather is
'mUgey.' tits n,ofe apt to occur On the
second, third, or fourth day Of heated
term than OH on the first. Loss of
sleep, worry, excitement, close sleeping
rooms, debility, abuse of stimulants
predispose to it 1t is more apt to at
tack those working i'll the sun, and es-
peoialiy between tne hoara Of II o'clock
in the morning and 1. o',;l0pk in the af-
ternoon. Avoid loss Of sleep and all
unnecessary fatigue. If working in
doors and where here is artificial heat
-laundries, &c.-s that the rooms are
welI:ventiiated. If working in the sun
wear light hat mot black, as it sbsorbs
heat, straw, &c, and put inside of it
on the head vet cloth on large green
leaf; frequently lift the hat from the
bead and see that the cloth is wet. Do
not check perspiration, but drink what
water you need to keep it up, as perspi
ration prevents the body from being
overheated. Have, whenever possible,
an additional ade, as q thin umbrella,
when walking; a canvass or board GOV.
er when working in the sun. When
much fatigued, do not go to work, but
be excused from work, especially after
II O'Clock in the morning on very hot
days, if the work is in the sun. If a
feeling of fatigue, dizziness, headache,
or exhaustion occurs, cease work imme-
dately lie down in Il shady and cool
place, apply cold cloths and pour cold
water over head and neck. If any one
is overcome by the heat, send immedi-
ately for the nearest good physician
While waiting for the physician, give
the person cool drinks OF water Or cold
black tea, or cold coffee, if able to swal-
low. If the skin is hot and dry, sponge
with, or pour cold water over the body
and limbs, and apply to the head pound
ed ice wrapped in a towel or other
cloth. If there is no ice at hand, keep
a cold cloth on the head, and pour cold
water Oh it as well as on the body. If
the person is pale. very faint, and pulse
feeble, let him inhale ammonia for a
few seconds, or give him teaspoonful
of aromatic spirits of ammonia in two
tablespoonfuls of water with little SUI
gar"

We see some enyious mortals object to
the CHICAGO 4 NORTH W EsTERN RAILWAY
being called the greatest and best line in the
country. What means greatest? Is it
more length of line, miles operated and bus
mess transported? What means best?
Everyone knows the reply. That this line
is greatest, few facts Will demonstrate:-
1t operates nearly twenty-one hundred miles
of road cos to be eXact,) and reaches
nearly every important point in Northern
Illinois, III Wisconsin, in Northern Mchi-
gan, in Iowa, in Minnesota, and runs many
lines into Dakota. What other line begins
to traverse SO many States ?-NOne-N Not one
A road 500 miles in length is long one.
A thousand miles makes great line What,
then. should be said of one ,, 100 miles long?
just think of it-lf it was laid eastward
from New York it would reach more than
two-thlrds of the way across the Atlantic
Ocean, or from the pine clad hills of Maine
to the sunny shores of the Gulf of Mexico
Great is it not? Then for moment look at
its business 1t carries millions think OF
what millions mean of passengers a year. to
say nothing of the silver and iron, and lead,
and lumber, and cattle and hogs, and thous-
