Animal Barometers.

The tortoise is not an animal one
would naturally fix upon as likely to
be afraid of rain, but it is singularly
so. Twenty-four hours or more before
rain falls the Galapagos tortoise makes
for some convenient shelter. On a
bright clear morning, when not cloud
is to be seen, the denizens of tortoise
farm on the African coast may be seen
sometimes heading for the nearest over
hanging rocks. When that happens, tho
proprietor knows that rain will come
down during the day, and as rule it
comes down in torrents. The sign never
fails. This presensation, to coin
word, which exists in many birds and
beasts may be explained partly from
the increasing weight of the atmosphere
when rain is forming, partly by habits
of living and partly from the need of
moisture which is shared by all. The
American catbird gives warning of an
approaching thunderstorm by sitting
on the low branches of the dogwood
tree whether this union of the feline
with the canine is invariable the depo-
nent sayeth not), uttering curious notes.
Other birds, including the familiar rob-
in, it is said, give similar evidence of
an impending Change in the weather.

RoeuEs DREAD THE CAMERA.
photographs Are the Greatest Police Aid
In Capturing Criminals.

monographs Are the Greatest Police Ala
In Capturing Criminals.
The greatest aid that the thief taker
of today has in his possession is the
photograph. The thief and outlaw
dread the photograph above all things.
The long immunity from arrest Of
Frank and Jesse James was due to the
fact that no pictures of them had ever
been taken. They were thus enabled to
walk the streets of Kansas City and st.
Louis, to attend theaters, play faro in
crowded banks, loll around the rotunda
of the Planters hotel and attend the
race meetings of the west
The vanity of the wild western train
robbers, bank holdups and horse thieves
has, in scores of instances, led them to
pose before the camera of the travelling
tintype artist. After that capture was
easy. The Dalton and Starr gangs owe
their capture to this weakness. But
the high class crook never has a picture
taken unless it is taken by force and
by police officers. A glance at the
roguas' gallery on the walls of the chief
of detectives Office will show hun
dred instances of where men have
fought desperately against the process.
All this amounts to nothing. No
man can distort his face so as not to
leave recognizable feature. He can
not change the shape of his nose, his
chin, his ears or the general outline of
his head. The ear is particularly a
valuable feature in Identification. No
two men in the world have ears exact
ly alike. The construction will differ,
and the general expression of the ear
has an individuality of its own. One
pair of ears will stand out from the
head like wings; another pair will lay
close to the skull as if pinned there,
1t will be noticed that the subject is al
ways posed so as to bring in the ears.
Police prefer view of the face and
head, the larger the better, to a full
length view. Where there are pecul-
iarities of carriage or eccentricities of
form, such as short legs, long legs, long
body, long apelike arms or a peculiar
slouch, additional pictures are taken,
but as rule these matters are left to
the descriptive circular.
"A criminal once In the UOll6 ana pnO-
tographed for police purposes may
count his career practically ended.
Every police and detective agency in
the country and every penitentiary war
den or prison governor are supplied with
a copy of it. He is taken in on sus-
picion on the strength of his features
made familiar His alias is swept
away by comparison with it and the
details that accompany it. The search
for fugitive is continued into the
prisons of the country. 1t is very
common thing for criminals who are
hard pressed for the commission of a
capital crime to do like Jack Shea, the
murderer of Officer Doran, did--commit
a burglary or some minor crime and
get put away for few years in prison.
Many man has eluded pursuit when
capture meant death by this ruse, but
the photograph has reduced the success
of this plan to the minimum. All mem
bers of the detective force are required
to study the faces of the criminals sent
in by circular. ST. Louis Globe Dem

A Legend of Nantucket.

About Vineyard sound there are
numerous legends of famous Indian
giant. 1t is said that the rocks at Sea-
comet are the remains of his wife,
whom he threw into the sea there. He
turned his children into fishes, and emp
tying out his pipe one day formed
Nantucket out of its ashes. This latter
story of Nantucket's source must ac-
count likewise for the we'll known story
of that old Nantucket captain who was
accustomed to make his reckonings by
tasting the earth brought up on sound
ing. One day the lead was dipped in
some earth brought on board ship from
the island, and the captain, after tast-
ing, leaped from his berth in great ex-
citement exclaiming, "Nantucketas
sunk, and here we are right over old
Marin Hackett's garden. :" Naturally,
he would recognize the taste of tobacco
ashes. Boston Transcript.

A French method Of preserving grapes
in something very close to their natural
condition has some interest at this sea-
son. Shoots of the vine, bearing, say,
two bunches of sound grapes each, are
placed in bottles or vases filled with wa
ter containing charcoal in solution The
bottles are then hung along the edges of
notched shelves in a dry place. 1t is said
that it the water be renewed from time
to time grapes so treated will keep in
good condition into April.

This estimate is made for the Arizona
climate. but it is believed that with
California rains the expense Of irriga-
