THE GOOSE as A BAROMETER.

How One Jerseyman Knows When
There VIII Be Thunderstorm.
Nelo York Sun Brick House. On. J.) Letter
Ad Cole of Vantage has goose that it
would take good deal of money TO buy.
The goose is gandsr. 1t is 3 years old.
Cole declares that it is a never-failing
weather indi at r. No rain ever finds
Farmer Cole unprepared for it, for the goose
fortells its coming promptly. Cole says he
has often known tie gander to be feeding
placidly at the roadside when there WASN'T
a cloud in the sky, and no sign of rain what
ever, and suddenly seen him lift his head in
the air to the full length of his neck and
stand moment as if intensely listening.
Then he would utter q peculiar squawk,
lift his wings, and start on a
run as fast as his big web feet would let him.
After run of few yards he would take
wing, and always fly to a little pond near
the farmhouse For time he would go
through all sorts of maneuvers in the water,
cbuckling or cackling in an undertone the
while. Then he would swim quietly about
These movements on the part of the gander,
Cole soon learned, betokehed a coming
thunderstorm, as they were always INDUCED
in on summer days Hs has known
severe storm of this kind to gather within
half an hour after the gander's warning,
and one always appeared within an hour
OF so. J5S he
This gander indication of a sudden shower
has been of invaluable service to Cole dur
ing haying. He says that after discover
ing this talent in the gander, ne took to OBJ
serving other of the birds actions, and
found that he could learn from them just
what the weather Was to be for the day.
If on getting up in the morning he sees the
gander on the pond, diving frequently, and
industriously dressing down his feathers
and talking low TO himself, he knows that
the weather is to be warm, clear and
dry. If the gander isn't diving, and
paying no attention to sDrucing himself
up, and every now and then raises his
head and gives loud squawk, Cole says the
indication Is suspicious, and he keeps his
eye on the barometricai goose for further
developments, for the weather is threaten
ing. If the gander leaves the pond and
does not show much inclination to return to
it during the day, emitting frequent and
peculiar cries, the dangerous weather is still
imminent, and Cole never fails to prepare
for steady rain that may last couple of
days. II the gander goes back to the
pond i'll a lively and clipper manner
after feeding a while, and intersperses
soliloquy with loud CALCULATIONS meant for
other ears, and dives and smooths down his
feathers, then it is certain that the rain will
not begin that day. More than that, when
this gander prophesies storm the sounds
he makes are not like his every day goose
Galk. Consequently, if he is not in sight,
Cole can tell by hearing his voice whether
be is predicting a shower, a steady rain soon
TO come. or one that will not be due for
twenty-four hours.

negro of this place. boarded the east bound
Brunswick and Western freight train at the

to get off, but Hill did not move. When the
train reached the junction two miles east of
the city Conductor Harris and Nose put
him off the train. When Hill struck the
ground be drew a revolver and fred five
shots at the train men. The conductor was
not touched, but Crowder received one of
the balls in his left thigh. 1t was painful,
but not dangerous wound. Sheriff Edwards

A WONDERFUL INVENTION.
Seamless Steel and Brass Tubes Rolled
Direct from Molten Metal.
Erc1,l The Rnafoa, Ho.oId

0Ootbfe
Some three years ago a gentleman of
this city began the study of improvements
in the art of making tubes, and invented
several machines and appliances for casting
hollow ingots and tubular structures, and
for rolling and hammering these, SO as to
lengthen and thin the walls, thereby form
ing seamless tubes of great symmetry and
strength, by methods that were entirely
different from any before attempted. Sew
eral thousand dollars was expended in ex-
periments and for building machinery.
which, by great persistence and by the aid
OF skillful mechanics, terminated with sue
cessful and gratifying results. But when
these machines were perfected and finished
another cheaper and altogether more eff
Gent method of forming tubes was con
ceived by the inventor, who, after thinking
the matter over for number of months,
resolved on building other machinery aud
of making experiments in hitherto I'M
heard-of and unthought-of direction
The boldness of his plans may be some
what appreciated when it is stated that
they consisted of rolling tube directly
from steel, iron, brass, or other metal in a
molten or fluid condition. The undertake
ing was ridiculed by all mechanics to whom
the subject was preached, and was consid-
cred as wild scheme as any that had ever
been heard of. But the man gradually per-
fected and systematized his designs, until
drawings were made, which were deemed
satisfactory, although still somewhat crude
in detail. The machines were built and
fully tested, and it has been demonstrated
that what was considered downright i'm
possibility is as simple and practicable in
performance as the commonest of mechani-
cal undertakings.
The economy of these methods is tremen-
dous, inasmuch as it avoids and renders I'M
necessary the entire labor, machinery. heat
ing, handling, and waste of material be-
longing to and required in the manufact-
ure of tubes and pipe by the ordinary
methods; and when it is stated that one
concern made and sold $13,00O,OOO worth
of tubes at profit Of 81 $50 900 last year
some idea OF the Importance and far-reach-
ing results of these iDveDtio may be real
lied. 1t is claimed that the tubes and pine
made by these methods will be superior in
strength and finish to those made bv anv
other known process, the manipulation of
the metal being such as to avoid blowholes
or porosities, which are found in steel
manufactured goods generally. They will
also be symmetrical and smooth inside and
outside, and can be used without boring
for many purposes where a common tube
would not answer. The inventor has sill
other methods of making compound tubes
by casting and rolling one metal around
another, fully as practicable and econoni-
cal, applicable to very large dlameters, and
constituting with the other series of in
ventions which for originality, scope. and
value have rarely been equaled. Machin-
cry is now being built and the business will
be established upon working sis lust as
soon as all arrangements can DO made.
