with stylus in manifold, one copy be-
ing handed at once to the printers, who
set 1t up In type. All the words neces-
sary for the purpose are cast entire in
separate types, so that It is quick work;
but the case containing them has no
less than 1850 boxes, and that Is a good
many for the compositors to keep in
mind. The other copies OF the manifold
are passed over to clerks, who telegraph
the predictions to the press associations
and to observers in different parts Of the
country. The copy in type is to be
printed in the left-hand lower corner OF
the weather map.
Before uttering his predictions the
prophet has drawn lines of equal tenn
perature and barometric pressure-you
may see them on any weather chart
upon the map which has been already
prepared with data noted down respect
ing these matters. Also, he draws a
line circumscribing the area in which
rain is falling. The map is then laid on
the brass plate, the. type slugs in,which
have been duly linked, and a sort OF
press is shut down upon it, transferring
all the arrows and circles to the map.
Thus prepared, the map goes to another
room, where the lines and arrows are
uohoAOthOu "a Wy hdpi0 PtOOCooCo W a. hbA-
ographic stone. Copies from the fore
casts and tables of figures set up by the
compositors are likewise added upon the
stone. and plain maps of the United
States are used to print the result upon,
producing in this manner the completed
weather charts. Predictions and weather
charts are issued every twelve hours.
Maj. Dunwoody is senior phrophet;
the two 9th ers are Prof. II. A. Hazen
and Lieut.. Glassford. The Major makes
a better average of accuracy in the fore
casts than either Of the others, although
he relies much less than they upon rules.
Inspiration goes long way In the busi-
ness of phrophecy. Incidentally, it is
worth saying that the most important
office OF the signal service is not to make
predictions, but to study meteorology,
for the benefit of farmers chiefly. The
advantage to them of being able to OBJ
tain the fullest information respecting
climatic conditions in any locality, so
that they can know where to settle and
what crops to expect success with, is OBJ
viously incalculable.

Scientific Points.

A STREET in Germany has been paved
with india rubber with satisfactory re-
suits. It is said to be more durable
than asphalt and less slippery.
1T has been found that sandstone as
an engine foundation is far from per-
feet. The stone soon becomes satura-
ted with oil, making 1t soft and easily
friable.
The first electric Street railway in
Russia will be constructed at Kew, a
city OF 10000 people. It will be opera
ated by the trolley system, and will be
ready for business this summer.
A RECENT invention consists of a
combination of levers I'm connection
with the trucks of railroad car, so
that in case of derailment the air
brakes will work automatically and stop
the train.
THE report Of the progress Of the
Manchester ship canal shows that all
the receipts and 100000 In addition
have been expended, and fully S12.-
OOO, 900 more will be required to finish
the work.
AN Austrian chemist Is supposed to
have solved the problem OF waterproof
Ing leather by a cheap and efficient
method. He employs a solution of fifteen
parts of gelatine and five parts Of bichro-
mate Of potash dissolved in 1 200 parts
OF water. ImpreRnating the leather with
this solution causes the albumen to oo-
agulate In the pores.

Search for Happiness.

A wealthy epicure applied to an
Arabian doctor for a prescription that
would restore his body to health and
give happiness to his mind The
physician advised him to exchange
shirts with man who was perfecaly
content with his lot. Whereupon the
patient set out on journey in pur-
suit of such a person. After many
months spent without accomplishing
his object he was told of a cobbler
ENJOYING comfortable nap on a
board Without ceremony he was
aroused from his slumbers. and the
important interrogatory, whether he
was contented with his lot, was an
swered in the affirmative.
''Then, said the seeker after happi-
ness, 81 haye one boon to ask at
your hands 1t is that you exchange
shirts with me, that by this means l
also may become contented and
happy"
"Most gladly would accede to
thy request" replied the cobbler,
"but-"
May refuse me not" interrupted
the man Of wealth; ''anY sum that
thou mayst name shall be thine"
81 seek not thy wealth." said the
cobbler, but-but-"
''But what?"
The-truth isl have no shirt."-

capacity OF the churches to supply
pastors and places OF worship. 1t is ex-
pected that the holding OF a general
assembly at Portland will stimulate
greater interest in the home-mission
field.
Every great religious convention has
some specially burning topics to discuss.
This years general assembly is no ex-
ception to the rule, although it is con-
fidently expected that harmony will pre-
vail in the end. The Briggs case comes
up again and upon it hinges a question
OF great interest to the church-the
status of the Union Theological Semi
nary. Since the last general assembly
DIR. Briggs and the New York Presby-
terry declared a truce, but it has turned
out TO be temporary. The delegation
from New York to the assembly is what
Is known as anti Briggs" in sentiment.
There have been threats that the Union
Theological Seminary would promptly
withdraw from the Presbyterian fold If
DR.. Briggs is to be harassed by hereti-
cal charges. The common belief seems
to be that the General Assembly will
refer the whole controversy back to the
New York Presbytery for final settle
ment. In this event very important
educational institution may be preserved
to the church, as ii Is thought doubtful
whether the case will be again reopened
on the question of DR.. Briggs orthodoxy
by the local body.
Then there is question OF the re-
vision of the confession OF faith. To
most Presbyterians this will appear the
Crawford avalanche. (Grayling, Mich.) 1879-19??, 1892-06-02

most vital issue with which the fathers
Of the church have ever had to deal.
The conservative traditions Of the
church have for many years prevented
any change In the Westminster confess
sion. II the American church adopts q
revised confession it will be the first Of
the worlds Presbyterian bodies TO de-
clare that the letter of a creed must give
way before its spirit, and that modern
thought makes revision Of church
standards necessary. The Committee
on Revision has completed its labors.
and all the presbyteries have declared
Tor or against the changes proposed.
The question now comes before the SUI
preme council of church leaders, and its
decision will be awaited with great in
terest.
Besides these special topics there is
multitudinous variety Of subjects with
which the General Assembly must deal.
The union of evangelical bodies is one of
these. Church unity Is more than
theory in all the leading evangelical
bodies, and 1t may be a question OF only
q few years when certain lines will dis
appear in O common effort for the cause
OF religion. Like the Methodists also,
the Presbyterians have pronounced
views on practical questions OF the day.
The General Assembly is certain to
make a report on the need of Sabbath
observance, and will doubtless make a
special report on the Worlds Columbian
Exposition

Judge c. @ Goodwin In the Com
stock Club: When Rishop Whitaker
came to Virginia City he wanted to
establish church. 1t was nothing
to get trustees for a mining company,
bat in church enterprise a man has
to die to fill his shorts. Yet the
Bishop did pretty well. He finally
got all his trustees save one, and he
selected Abe - for, the honor,
though Abe was a sinner. and pro-
fame one at that. Abe attended the
first meeting OF his trustees.
'I would be glad to help you
Bishop" he said, "but ---it---,
/ don't know. / can run a mine or a
quartz mill, but / don't know any
more than a Chinaman about running
a church."
But the Bishop prevailed. He in
formed the trustees that he had plans
and specifications for church that
would cost 80, 900. lot included. He
said he believed 81, 500 might be raised
by subscription, leaving the church
but 81, 500 in debt, which amount
would run at low interest and might
be paid for in four or five years
Everybody expressed approval except
Abe, who kept silent. His opini on
was asked by the clergyman.
"Why, - it, Bishop" cried Abe,
81 told you that knew nothing about
church business, but l don't like the
plan. If you were to get money at
l5 per cent. per annum, which is only
half the banking rate, your interest
would amount to nearly 81, 200 a year,
or almost as much as you expect to
raise for commencement. If you
want a church, - it, why don't you
work the business as though you be-
lieycd it would pay"
Abe sat down and the Bishops
heart sank.
"Well, have you got any better
scheme?" asked one of the trustees.
"You bet" said Abe. 81 move
that an assessment of 81, 900 be levied
on each Of the trustees, the same to
be payable Immediately"
The Bishop had Just come from the
East, and he was bewildered. The
good man faltered:
II fear l cannot at present raise
81, ,0OO."
E'Never mind, Bishop" said Abe,
s'we'll take yours out in preaching. >
The checks were forthcoming, and
Abe went through the camp on a
collecting tour, striking everybody
merchants, gamblers, saloon keepers,
all alike. In an hour he had the
whole 50, 900, and carried certificate
for it to the clergyman.
"Take that for starter, Bishop" {"
said Abe. "It won't be enough, for
l guess a church is like an old quartz
mill-the cost always exceeds the
estimates a good deal: butgo ahead,
and when you need more money we
will levy another assessment on the
Internal sinners"
= Abe never joined the church, and
swore little to the last. The Bishop
preached his funeral sermon, and did
it with moist eyes and trembling
voice. Abe's part in building the
church was only one Of his whims,
but for years he was Providence to
scores OF people on the Comstock.

SHOT BY HIGHWAYMEN.
Train Robbers Resort to Murder and Fle
without the Plumber.

Train Robbers Resort to Murder and Flee
without the Plumber.
One of the most daring attempts at
train robbery that ever occurred in
Florida took place at 1:30 o'clock the
other morning on the Jacksonville,
Tampa, and Key West Road, just north
of Monroe junction, four miles from
Sanford, Fla. The West India fast mail,
which left Tampa carrying two express
cars, the United States mails and some
passenger coaches, was boarded at Mon
roe Junction by four men. When Just
north OF the junction and while the train
was running at about five miles an hour,
two OF the men got on the engine and
presented revolvers at the heads of
Engineer Dumas and his fireman, order
ing them to keep quiet at the peril of
losing their lives. The engineer and
fireman being taken by surprise could
do nothing but obey, as he deter
mined action of the desperadoes
showed they meant what they
said: The two other men entered the
express cars, which were occupied by
Messenger w. N. Saunders and Special
Agent 1. M. Cox, and attempted to over
power them. The two expressmen, al
though taken by surprise, made des-
perate resistance and the robbers then
deliberately shot Saunders, two balls
taking effect in his breast and head, kill
ing him instantly. Mr.. Cox had his man
at bay and was about to subdue him,
when the other robber, after killing
Saunders, fired at Cox twice, one ball
hitting him in the arm and the other
hitting him in the face, the ball pene-
trating to the left eye. His nose also
was shot nearly off. The desperate
villains then hurriedly and without
securing any booty jumped from the car,
fearing that the noise OF the firing would
bring the train hands to the rescue, and
fed to the woods, which are particularly
dense is that section. There was be-
tween $50, 600 and $40, 900 in the safe.
