Food n tile North Pole.

There is no trouble about living in the
polar regions except lack Of food supply.
No danger exists that the provisions
once placed would be disturbed. Among
the people who dwell in those frozen
regions a cache IS sacred. Nothing
short OF starvation will compel native
to interfere with one, and even in such
case he leaves payment behind for what
he takes. Snow shoes and extra cloth

which city persons chang up at their
uncle's during the warm season.
Seal oil is buried in the ground IN
bags OF skin. Meat is heaped upon,
platforms built among trees, which arc

from climbing up them. Little sticks
with sharp points upward are buried IN
the ice to distract the attention Of the
bears from the provisions overhead:
Another kind Of cache is in the shape q

are standing trees, with brush and logs
piled on top to keep out wild animals.

The great robber Of moisture on the
plains in the West is evaporation. The
activity Of the winds is 20 great and con-
slant that more yapor is raised from ex-
posed water surfaces than in many regions
Of greater heat. The annual evaporation
il seldom il ever less than four feet, and
may rise to eight feet. Water storage
upon high plains where there are no
trees, II not wholly dclusiop, L. held to
be somewhat delusive. More hopeful i
the expedient Of deep tillage, for hidden
from sun and winds in the loose soil and
subsoil, the moisture will thus be pre-
served at the very spot where it is needed
to sustain vegetation.

Milwaukee, Wis, serves, it seems, Al

who feel that they cannot stand the ex-

And the hackmen Of that town, who Sc

it came out that several Of the divInes

charges the Tweed Commissioners with

have been injured for life, false witness

To Induce Humility in Peacock.

II you wish to take the conceit out Of
a-peacock pull out his tail feathers, aud
as soon as he finds the glory Of his plum
age gone he becomes the humblest, most
subdued, and ashamed looking bird that
ever walked the earth. A peacock in
full feather is so vainiand conceited as
sometimes to be really troublesome. Not
satisfied with squaAiag at the top Of his
discordant voice, and with parading
himself through the yard and up
and down the walks with expanded
plumage, he will attack cats, dogs, and
even children, and has been known to
seriously injure small boys Or girls that
were incautious enough to venture within
his reach, Pluclxing his tail feathers,
however, causes all his courage to evap-l
crate. He will sneak around the yard
like whipped spaniel, win keep out Of
sight as much as possible, and you viii
hear nothing Of him until his plumags
has again grown. st. Louis Globe Dem.

The Weather Bureau.

The Weather Bureau Department Of
the United States service was, on its or.
ganization, placed in charge Of the chief
signal officer of the United States army,
hence the name-Signal Service-by
which it has been know until recently.
Its duties were to take and record
meteorological observations and to re-.
port and give notice by electric telegraph
Of the approach and the force Of storms
for the benefit of commerce and agricul,-
culture.
In a paper read at meeting Of the
Massachusetts, horticultural Society BY
j. w. Smith, Of the Weather Bureau,on
the relation OF the bureau to agriculture,
it is said that the actual work began No,
vember 1, 1870, with the 7:35 i. N. OBJ.
servation taken at twenty -four different
stations in various parts Of the whole
country. These were telegraphcd to-
Washington, the central station, and
thence transmitted in the same manner
to offices located at the commercial
centres of the entire country, to be dis
seminated through the daily papers and
by other methods.
Upon the foundation thus laid hat
been erected the present weather ser
vice. February IS, 1871, was issued.
the first bulletin Of probabilities, n,sinca
called s.indications,' and now ssfore..
casts" Thus far the labors Of this SER
vice were chiefly in the interest Of agri..
culture. The next step was the display
of storm signals at stations on the sea-
board, the Gulf and the great lakes.
The great territory of the United
States has been divided into districts,
and by making special study of each.
the forecasts" are made more definite
and exact for each Of them, thus more.
effectuallY promoting the interests Of the
farmers therein.
During the growing season a large
number of correspondents are enlisted
all over the country to gather and trans
NIT trustworthy information on the pro-
gress of the crops and the effect of the
weather upon them. This information
condensed,is issued in weekly bulletins
and is one of the most practical Of the
Weather Bureau work. Agriculture IS
the chief industry of the country, there
fore the Weather Bureau was on July !,
1891, transferred from the War Depart

The death Of Henry Wade viii

The death Of Henry Wade Wilkes,
commonly known as George Wilkes, is
an illustration, muses. the New York
Press, of the wretched results that follow
q career Of persistent crime. This man
worked honestly until he was twenty
seven years of age. The earnings Of a
clerkship were too small for him and he
tried to add to them by gambling. From
gambling be naturally drifted TO forgery,
realizing as much as 500, 900 in three
years. The forger developed into an ex-
pert burglar, and Wilkes was so success
full in his varied criminal operations that
be became known as 1.-The King Of
Crooks" At length the inevitable day
arrived when lifelong imprisonment
stared the master criminal in the face.
He saved himself BY betraying his COM
panions. Liberated for his perfdy, he
sank lower and lower in the scale, and
became homeless outcast, eking out
existence by doing work of the most
mental sort in q low New York grog-
gerry. He met violent death at I'M
known hands, and was saved from th'
Potter,s Field By the charity of forme
acquaintance. Such was the fate Of on
or the most successful criminals Of tn
age. And his case was not AZ excep
ton TO the general rule. Rarely Il eve

Or. L. ID. Wilson, who held the post NOR
tom examination upon the body of DIR.
Baird, was called for formal description
Of the two gunshot wounds found He
said one ball had entered below the opening
Of the right ear, and emerged through the
left eye; the other had entered through
the breast bone, just below the top, cut of
one of the carotid arteries, traversed the
upper part of the lung, and was found in
the muscles Of the shoulder. The witness
illustrated by Capt. Dovener the PROBABLE
positions of the two men when the two
shots were fired. The wound in the breast
was necessarily fatal; as 10 the other, he
could not say.
Col. Arnett crosse examined the witness
az considerable length 70 show that the
wound in the head might have been made
with the front of the body toward the per-
son shooting, but with the head turned
away.
