Scientific Explanation Of the Causes Of

From Casselrs Magazine.
That the changing of the direction of the wind
is due to the shifting of the situations of greatest
heat upon the earth is substantially proved by
the fact that in certain regions of the earth S
surface, where the situations of the greatest
heat and cold do not alter the direction In
which they lie to each other, the wind does not
change, but always blows in the same direction
from one day to another. and all the year round.
rms occurs in the great open space OF the ocean,
where there is no land to get heated up by the
sunshine of the day, and to get cool by the scat
tering of the heat at night. In those spaces for
a vast breadth of many hundred miles the sun
shines down day after day upon the surface OF
ocean track which lies most Immediately be-
meath its burning rays as it passes across from

This midway track of the strongest sunshine
crosses the wide ocean as belt or zone, that
spreads some way to either side of the equator.
Throughout this midway track the cooler and
heavier air on either hand drifts in from the
north and from the south, and then rises up, as
1t becomes heated by the sun, where the two

When Advertising is Wanted.

FROM tlle IpSl
There's nothing on earth mysteriouSly
funny as Il newspaper advertisement. The
prime. first, last and all the-tme object of an
advertisement is to draw custom. 1t is not,
was not and never will be. designed for any
other human purpose. SO the merchant waits
till the busy season comes and his store is so
full of customers he can't get his hat off, and
then he PUSHES to the newspapers and puts in
his advertisement. When the duh season gets
along and there is no trade. and he wants to
sell goods so bad he cant pay his rent, he takes
out his advertisement. That is, some of them
do but occasionally a lcVei-hcaded merchant
puts in bigger one. and SCOOPS all the business.
while his neighbOrS are making mortgages to
pay the gas bill There are times when you
couldn't stop people from buying everything in
the store if you planted cannon behind the
door. and that's the time the advertisement is
sent out its holy mission. 1t makes light
work for the advertisement, for chalk
sign on the sis, walk could do all that was
needed and have half holiday six days in the
week. but who wants to favor an advertise
mcnt? They are built To do hard work, and
toner has to be HI. ED down with hard facts
and kicked insel. b with bankrupt reduc-
tions and dragged ia with irresistible slaughter
OF prices before he will spend q cent. That's the
aim and end of an advertisement. and if you
ever open "A store don try to get them to come
when they are already sticking out of the win
dOws. but give them your advertisement right
between the eyes in the dull season, and you
will wax rich aud own Il fast horse, and perhaps
be able TO smoke a good cigar once or twice n
year. Write this down where youll fall over it
every day. The time to draw business is when
you want business. and not when you have
more business than you can attend to already.

Would Cremation Tend to Protect
P0isOners2

The Vienna Municipal Council has
been occupied with the subject of cree
nation. A motion was debated for
erecting a furnace on trial, and 1t was
stated that the cost of building a fur
mace available for the whole capital
would be $50, 600 forms. The motion
was not rejected, but adjourned. Gre
nation has many partisans in Vienna.
and yesterday a debate was conducted
in a serious and practical spirit,
Here, as elsewhere, however, 1t is
felt that the great difficulty lies in the
facilities which cremation would offer
to prisoners. 1t is agreed that in gcn-
eral it would not be safe to allow cre-
nation unless an inquest into the
causes Of death were held in every
case. and this really shelves the mat.
ter until scientific analysis shall have
been simplified and cheapencd. Lon-

Little More Dynamite.

Last Thursday morning an explosion occur
red in the basement of the sdmiralty building
in London. Fremen and police were prompt
" summoned, and all gates Of the admiralty
building closed. A special guard was at once
posted, and no person allowed
to enter or depart from the premises
until a thorough examination could be made.
The explosion occurred in the secretary's de-
partment, and Edwin +. Swainson, assistant
secretary and principal clerk, received a Sc
we're scalp wound He was the only
person injured. 1t is believed the ex-
plosion Was caused by dynamite.
Mr.. Swainson's room, in which the explosion
corridors were badly damaged, while the
windows fronting ON the Horse Guards parade
We're blown out. At tirstit was reported the ex-
plosion was caused by dynamite, and was the

lions of the British government Mr.. Swan
son gives it as his opinion that the explosive
was thrown into, she room through the
window. The face of small AmerI-
can clock blaokened by the explosion, to-
gether with some. pieces OF, clock work at
tached, was found among the debris during
the examination winch followed. The adl
miralty officials'suppose these fragments are
parts of the internal machine which caused the
explosion A strong suspicion now prevails in
police and official circles that the explosion
was the result of private malice, as Mr.. Swain
son was great dlsliked by a number of per-
sons, including several employers of the Office.
1t is certain that the Internal machine was
placed in a bookcase inst over the spot whore
Mr.. Swainson's head would be when sitting at
his desk. The detectives are certain that the
outrage was the work of an employee, as no
stranger could pass the ianitor without some
document showing that he had BUSINESS with
the head of some department. The janitor
says no stranger to his knowledge has passed
HIM during the past twenty-four hours. The
latest conjecture is that the explosive in the
admiralty building must have been placed
in Mr.. Swalnson's desk. 1t probably
came through the parcel post, and
is thought to have consisted of two pounds of
gun cotton or some similar agent. The only
other explanation offered is that the miscreants
gained admission to the building during q slight
interval occurring between the reliefs of police,
and posted the explosive in the office. The de-
tectives are still completely in the dark. Of
fcials are of the opinion that the explosion was
caused by the spontaneous ignition of a speci-
men OF torpedo explosion which h&d been sent
to the admiralty for inspection. The gen.
eral Beliefs that the explosive agent was not
dynamite.

ton of war to fight q grand naval duel Be-
lieying hat this declaration will come within

sian corvette is q magnificent piece OF naval
architecture, and sails under the name OF Stry-
lax, Capt Skelgaloff. She is manned by 1SO
men. The British man-o'-war Garnet is said
to be q perfect vessel of its kind, and is under
