FOR HIGH AIR SOUNDINGS.
Frenchman Has Invented a Balloon for Making Meteorological Observations.


 Making Meteorological Observations.
 The employment of free balloons for meteorological observations at very great heights has long been discussed, but hitherto with little practical result, because as yet no balloon suitable for this purpose has been devised. NJ. Ch Renard, a French scientist. however has just presented to the Paris academy design for such a balloon which prom iSes to be a success.
 His proposed miniature vessel for sounding the atmosphere, according to the New York Herald, is supplied with a very light self-recOrding barometer and self-recording thermometer, partly made of aluminium, each weighing less than five pounds. To prevent derange- ncnt of the registering apparatus upon the 1,..i of the balloon he provides each l"S rient with an elastic guard so vtIc. . tat the clockwOrk of the in- s--.-lIent IS not interrupted by the shock Of tAe fall. The total weight, instruments included, does not exceed twcnty-One pounds avoirdupois.
 If found to work satisfactorily this simple and apparently cheap device will marBla new era in meteorology. At present meteorOlogists know but little more by direct instrumental gauging of the upper atmosphere than the fauna the floor of the Atlantic know of the gulf stream and its asso- ciate surface currents.

The river up winch Hendriks Hudson sailed in 1907, in his ship the Half Moon. anchCring at Yonkers and afterwards proceeding up the North or Hudson river to Albany; and up which Robert Fulton, in 1897 guided the first steam boat, the Clerment, leaving the New York wharf amidst the contemptuous ridicule and rude jokes of the by islanders, from December to March, pre- sents cOntrssted scopes to those of the summer months when night, ferry. canal and row boats and yachts and oarges p y up and across; and It's shaded banks are alive with the pleasure or rest seeking su inner residents, bCarders and excurslonis s.

 During the winter the boats lie fastened at the piers of New York. The spires of Trinity and the Fifth avenue Presbyterian churches and the Cathe- dral, tue tower of the Produce Ex- change aud numerous high office build lngs and apartment houses, from the river are seen rising above other buildings. On the east side of the Hud- son the trains of the New York Central steam up and down the frozen bank, and on the West. side those of the West Share road. The present winter having been unusually severe the river has been frozen over to within a few miles of New York. At Troy it has been frozen to the bolt m, something unknown m the past.

They Are Packed in Substantial and Work

 Of the various foreign countries whose shipments of exhibits have passed through the Jackson park custom house the packing cases from Japan have been the most substantial and have preserved their contents in the best shape. Two or three car loads of these eXhib- its now piled in the north end of the manufactures building show the gen eral wOrkmanlike mannerOf the Japan csc. Every case is made of frst-clasS yellow pine, joined in perfect manner and strongly bound with iron bands. A model of a pleasure boat three feet long recently received serves as an eX- ample of the precautions of these peO- pie.
 The outside case was of yellow pine, one and one-half inches thick and planed on both sides. Around this outer case were broad bands of steel, held in place by screws. Inside was a tin box soldered together and held from rolling about by layers of rice straw. Inside of the tin case was another wooden case, finely finished, and inside of this nestled in cotton batting was the model of boat. The figure-head at the prov was gaudy Japanese pheasant, and the whole craft was: lacquered and finished as the Japanese know so well how to do. This model was released by the customs officers and was taken to the Japanese headquarters at Sixty seventh place

DEATH OF MISS BESSIE TEVIs.
Ending of a Bright Career in the
 Morning of its Usefulness.

''The hopes men build their hearts upon turn ashes"
 About p. m. today came the announ- cement that Bessie Tevis is dead" It spread like wild fire. Consternation sat on the face of every one to whom the sad intelligence was borne. By many she was not known to be i'll as on Fri day last she was in her accustomed place at school and none but her im- mediate neighbors knew even that she was siling. The same evening she visited with friends at the University and on Saturday was indispoeed and confined to her room. Yesterday she was worse, but it was not until this morning that she Was considered seri- ously ill. She ed at 2 D. m. today Her demise was due to malignant diph- theria. How or from where she con- tracted the disease is 8 mystery es it was not generally known that there was a case of the kind in town.
 Miss Tevis was loved by all who knew her. She was virtually raised in this city. Three years ago she graduated from ths State Normal school m Los Angeles ard at once entered the public school of this district as teacher in the intermediate grade. Although not yet 22 years of age she was one of the brightest and most practical educators in the territory and her sad and untimely d ath has left vacancy that cannot be readily filled.
 She was both intellectual and accom- plished and of so sweet and iovable a disposition that she endeared herself to all with whom she come in con act. A great favorite in social circles her company was much sought and she too often yeilded to the wishes and plea sure5 of others in preference to cOnsi- derlng her own health and co mfort. She will be buried from the Episcopal church tomorrow at D. m.
 Her mother Mrs. NJ. s. Snyder, was with her at the time of her death, and IS heartbrokenl over her deplorable and irreporable loss. The sympathy of the entire community is with her in this her hour of great bereavement,

Cleanliness in the Nursery.

Mothers will do well to keep the fact in mind that some infantile diarrheas are infectious, and therefore can be con veyed from one baby to another. This has been clearly proved in certain forms of the trouble, and there are yet others which exhibit marked signs of being of the same character. Until mothers can know just which are and which are not so they ought so assume that in every instance 1t is best to keep the little pa tients as much as possible from other children of nearly the same age. When this rule is generally followed there will be infinitely fewer cases of summer com plaints in the nursery.
 Disinfection should also be practiced where there is summer diarrhoea. One of the cheapest, safest and most effective agents, requiring the least skill in its use, is the chloride of lime. A bucket of water well whitened with this should receive ths soiled napkins as soon as they are removed. There they will be practically safe until they can be prop erly boiled, which, however, ought not be delayed longer than possible.-Boston Herald.

WINDING Up THE YEAR.
The City Council Will
Meet Tonight.
THE PAY OF THE ALlMEN.
Work Will Probably be Provided For
the Unemployed.

Both branches OF the City Council will
meet tonight. The Republicans held
their usual Tuesday evening caucus last
evening and, II is understood, agreed to
re-elect Judge Shove Sewer Com missioner.
This being the last regular meeting Of
the year on the part OF the Common
Council, there Is likely to be grist Of
matters reported from the committees, as
there will be number OF the members
who will not occupy seats In next years
Council and they are anxious to clear up
their dockets before the year closes.
The oldest chestnut" In the hands OF
the committees is that relating to the In.
crease OF pay OF the call mem bers of the
fire department. The Council was favor
able to that from the start, but a few who
are under the thumb of the Chief Engi-
neer are holding II back In order to coercs
the entire City Council int o increasing the
salary OF an already well paid official.
Such disreputsble logrolling should he
frowned down and rebuked by those in
aut hority.
The ordinance creating Superinten-
dent of electrical police and fire alrrm
system will also be considered.
There are also various matters which
will doubtless come up such as the erec-
tion OF new electric lights, and giving the
necessary authority TO the highway and
sewer departments To proceed with all the
work they possibly can to provide labor
for the unemployed.
