WEATHER FOR MAY.

What May be Expected in the way OF
Weather During the Month of Flowers,
According to Rev. Irl Il. Hicks. the st.
Louis Prophet. Whose Predictions are
Becoming Household Words.
ST. LOUIS. April 30.-Rev. Irl Hicks,
the st. Louis weather prophet, has this
to say of the coming month:
Cool clear weather will advance from west 70
east during the first days of May By May ) a
warm wave will appear in the west. attended by
storm developments of marked intensity.
Within forty eight hours of u IN. of the 18th

cyclonic possibilities. attended by hail rain or
thunder. will visit most parts of the country
Be prepared for phenomenal areas OF cold AMI
hot in close proximity to eacn other. with sud
den and extreme drops of temperature. Frosts
are almost sure to follow in the rear of storms
about the night of the 4th or 5th. in the north
and west reaching the eastern sections a day
two later. Center;Eg on the 10th am 1lth,
reactionary conditions of temperature and
baromtric pressure, en- iicg il storms, may be
counted on.
The next storm period is central on the 18th,
bringing its culnin ltiag stages on the 18th.
The period runs froC, the 18th to ths i4eh- a
series of heavy storms. recurring in cycles or
twenty four hours-say each afternoon and
eveIling-wil most likely result for several days
about this time
A cold. steady wind from west and north will
indicate cessation of storms. Heavy frosts viii
be heard from to the northwarl between the
10th and 2lst About the ~ look ont for
turn of very warm days, with reactionary
storms.
The last storm period of the month is from
the 18th to the 39th. On the 18th falls the new
moon. equinox of Mercury on the 18th. Venus
still in full force-all combine with a regular
Vulcan period. central on the 21th. Putting
al! these causes together and adding the tart
that are fully within the Saturnian period,
we may almost surely expect disturbances of

Of the most fragrant plagiarism, both
from standard works on Japan. from
the contemporary columns of the Japan
Mail. and from the published transac-
tons of the Asiatic society. His
fulsome and indiscrininate praise
of everything Japanese is greatly
resented by residents here, who
claim that the Japanese are by no
means the perfect beings he makes
them out to be. but that he has grossly
misstated the facts in order to curry
favOrs. Both his actions and his
speeches are most severely criticised

WAsHrSGToS. April 20.-In the sem

memorial of the Indianapol typothetsn,
in which attention is called to the evil

the printing or for delivery. It is cs-
timatcd that the number of envelopes

The Typothet;n bases its objections
on the ground that the government has
no right to set up opposition to private
enterprise or to invade its field. and
that such action is a clear deprivation
to the printers of the country of not

RHODE ISLANDS NAME.
Various Theories That Have Been Ad-

Various Theories That Have Been Ad-
 vanced for It's Origin.
 Several explanations are given of the manner in which Rhode Island acquired a name. One suppositlon is that from the abundance of cranberries found in the marshes of this province it was called by the Dutch Roode Eylandt. Others suppose that the original name was Ruel de Eglant (the red island), from the fact that some clay banks at certain points along the coast gave it a reddish tinge. It is most likely, how ever, that it was named from the Is land of Rhodes in the Mediterranean, says the St. Louis Globe Democrat, and this supposition is strengthened by the discovery of the fact that on January tS, 1644, the general court of elections passed an ordinance reading as follows: ''It is ordained by this court that the island commonly called Aquethneck shall be from henceforth called the Is- land of Rhodes, or Rhode Island" 7" Aquethneck was the Indian name, and 1t Is probable that some odds and ends of learning among the colonists induced them to select this classical name.
