AN INSTRUCTIVE TALK.
GEN. r. M. CLARKE'S LECTURE
AT ST. PAUL'S CHURCH.
Some of Natures Interesting, Everyday
Phenomena Explained and Made
Clear in "Old ProbzbiiI-
ties workshop"

Last night Gen. f. NJ. Clarke, secretary
of the Chamber of Commerce, delivered a
lecture at St. Paul's church, corner
Seventh and Lamar. The subject OF his
talk was ''Old Probabilities Workshop"
and efor two hours and over the general
entertained his audience with interesting
explanations of the different phenomena
of nature which are seen daily, but the
causes of which are so little understood by
those who are constant witnesses of them.
Gen. Clarke was for a number of years con-
nected with the weather bureau at Wash
ington and as meteorologist has achieved
nc mean reputation.
An explanation of several of the instru-
snients that are used in making meteoro-
logical observations was entered into. A
minute and instructive explanation of the
use and manufacture of the Their
mometer was given. The painstak-
ing care that is required in the
manufacture of a reliable instrument was
reviewed, and the audience was surprised
to learn that to procure an entirely trust
worthy thermometer required an expendi-
ItsRre of between $50 and $500. The speaker
characterized the ordinary thermometer as
worthless thing except as an orna-
ment on the wall, and showed
clearly to the audience how it was impos-
sible, with the time that is expended in
their manufacture, fer a glassbloWer to
MAKE the thermometer TUBE OF uniform
size from the bulb to the top, and in this
lies the reliability of the instrument.
The phenomena of rain were explained
and the cause of the nightly dew was told
The cause and the nature of the terrible
Tornado were alike made plain, and the
cause and the functions of the trade winds
were pointed out
One of the most interesting of the many
phenomena he explained was concerning
jack frost, who SO often blights fruits,
plants and flowers when it is supposed they
are perfectly safe from his ravages.
The general told how one could tell
whether or not frost would fail
during the night without the shadow of
doubt This knowledge, he said, would save
the ladies many heartache which the loss
of rare plants by frost occasions. The OBJ
servation has to be made a half an hour by
sun. Two thermometers are used, one with
a dry bulb, the other with damp bulb
The reading of each is made a half an
hour before sunset. Their difference is
taken. Whatever this difference is it is
only necessary to consult table, find the
ndihber in it, and opposite this will appear
the dew point for the night. If this tenn
perature is low enough to produce frost one
must act accordingly.

Old and Young, Male and Female, Black

Since the insurance adjusters turned the
ruins of the late Anderson. gun store fire
over to the public, they have been thronged
with surging mass of humanity, without
regard to color, age or sex, delving into the
debris, searching for valuables, and many
have been well paid for their time and trou-
bic. Goods badly damaged, slightly dam
aged, and not damaged at all, have been
lugsed of in sacks, boxes, carts, and in
every other conceivable way, children have
played "hookv, - men nave left good jobs,
others have refused to work, all preferring
to try their fortunes in this heap of rub
Dish in the hope of securing something
more valuable. A reporter happened
around yesterday and sized up the crowd,
and saw merchants (ol small scale), ped
dlers. street falzirs and little girls among
the workers-and three or four capitalists
mingling with the mass, occasionally pick
ing up something valuable, and again dick
ering with someone for something he de-
sired to purchase, and in one instance one
of these capitalists walked away with his
pockets and hands full of small note books

A STORY OF THE DAY,

How St. Kentigern Helped Queen
Out OF an Alarming Predlcament.
Miraculous powers were attributed
to st. Kentigern-whose day the 18th
OF January is-as to most of the holy
men of remote ages. A story showing
how he recovered lost ring and saw
ed a queen from the wrath OF her
husband is given in an old volume.
She had formed an attachment for q
handsome soldier and gave him fine
ring which the king himself had pre-
sented to her. This in some way
came to the ears of his majesty, and,
concealing his anger, he proceeded to
hunt up the soldier. He found him
sleeping on the banks ofthe Clyde-the
scene OF this story is in Scotland
and, taking the ring from his finger,
threw it into the river. On returning
home he demanded of the queen that
she should return the ring he had given
her. She sent in secret to the soldier
for 1t, but of course he could not re-
store 1t. Then in great alarm she sent
to the holy Kentigern for assistance.
The saint, having previous knowledge
of the whole affair, went to the Clyde,
caught a salmon, opened it and in its
stomach found the missing ring, which
he returned to the queen. She turned
it over to the king, who, believing she
had been wrongfully accused, said he
would put her accusers to death. Pre-
tending to be OF forCiving spirit, she
asked him to pardon them. Then she
went to Kentigern, confessed her fault
and promised to do better in the
future. The seal OF the city of Glas-
gov shows st. Kentigern's tree and
bell, and across the trunk the salmon

MET THEM HALF WAY.

Pleasures OF Campaigning in the
State OF Alabama.
A prominent Albanian, who was
tellinglast night at the Kimball about
the campaign in his state, remarked
that the kissing and dancing stories
told of Gov. Jones in his canvass were
ridiculous and practically without
foundation.
1.-THE fact is" said the gentleman,
"the stories started in this way: At
Blue Creek, in Jefferson county, there
are many Scotch miners, and they
with their wives and daughters fire.
quently have dance on public occa-
sions. Gov. Jones was selected to lead
in the grand march and did so with q
lady, the wife of prominent Scotch
man. The same thing occurred at
Adger's, also in Jefferson county. The
governor having no religious scruples
against dancing, could not decline. 1t
would not have been gentlemanly I'M
der the circumstances, especially when
the dance was part of the festivities
in his honor.
AS to the kissing, he kissed only
two, and any gentleman in his place
would have done the same, He had
finished speaking, and was about to
leave the platform, when a sweet,
pretty young Scotch woman playfully
remarked that he, was going away
without kiss. The governor pleas
antly replied that it was not his fault,
whereupon she said that it was not
her fault either. Gov. Jones then said
it was a very tempting challenge, and
the lady declared that she never ran
away. Her husband was standing by,
and when the governor walked up
and kissed his wife he seemed to enjoy
it as much as anybody.
A Scotchman with his wife on his
arm told the governor that he must
kiss her and of course he was equal to
the occasion. These ladies merely fol-
lowed the custom of their country,
and it was their way of honoring the
governor. Like thorough gentleman
Gov. Jones met these adopted citizens
OF his state half way. His competitor,
Capt. Kolb, kissed one of the same
ladies twice, saying he was one ahead
OF Jones, and he also led in the grand
march.-Atlanta Constitution.

Toronto is probably the strictest

few cities in any part OF the world are
more rigid. All business is suspended

even forbidden to sell newspapers or

to run. and any kind of transportation
is difficult to get But a great many
OF the less truly good Torontonians
have been Directing strongly to the
tightness OF things. Queens park is
beautiful place, but 1t is quite a long
way out Of town. and. as no street cars
are allowed TO run, many thousands of
citizens are deprived Of the enjoyment
OF the park simply because they can.
