A New Department Organized.

Secresary Morton has created new division in the Weather Bureau to be known as the Division of Agricultural Soils. Prof. Milton Whitney has been appointed chief of the division. Prof.
 Whitney is we'll known in agricultural educational and scientific circles, and has been conducting investigations regarding the relations of climate and meteorological conditions of soils for some years, and during which he has been connected with the Maryland State Experiment Station and the Johns Hopkins Universities. He was also for some time temporarily em- ployed in the Weather Bnreau. and in 1892 prepared special report on Some physical properties of soils in their relation to moisture and crop distri- bution,' which was published as Weather Bureau Bulletin No. i. The purpose of the new division is to pur- sue investigations of an analogous character carrying the climatic ob- seryations of the Weather Bureau in- to the soil, where the moisture effects its work and makes it's influence felt upon the plant life. The Secretarys' order briefly defines the work as fol- lows.
 1t shall be the duty of this division to study the climatic conditions of heat and moisture under the surface of the ground, and the relation of these conditions to crop distribution.
 It is hoped that the work of the new division will result in acquiring great deal of information of value to farm CTS on the character of soils in the re- lation to the distribution of moisture to the plants The solution of the ,s-oblem involved will serve to deter mine the adaptability of certain kinds of soil to certain crops by which the value of land may be greatly increased. Instances of this kind are strikingly furnished by the utilization of truck farming in Maryland of lands unayail- able for otheL crops and which as result have increased ten and twenty fold in value, and also by the adoption in other states of certain soils regard ed heretofore as worthless for tillage, but which, have been found q to be of a nature suited to the production of certain varieties of tobacco. are TOW among the most valuable in their re- spectiye states.

Raining Cats and DOGS.

Many explanations have been given OF
the origin of the expression raining
cats and dogs" One is that it is a per
version Of the French "catadoupe'- a
WATERFALL it is raining catadoupes, -
or cataracts. Another explanation is
that the male blossoms of the willow
tree. which are used on Palm Sunday tc
represent the branches of palm. We're
called "cats and dogs in some parts
OF England, where theysincrease rapidly
after few warm April showers, and
the belief prevailed that the rain brought

and sailors still have saying, 1.-THE cat

she is unusually frisky Witches that
rode upon the storms were said to as
sume the form of cats, and the stormy
northwest wind Is called "the cats
nose" in the Hartz mountains even at
the present day. Then the dog is ~ sym
Dol OF wind, which in old German PIC
lures is figured as the head of dog or
wolf from which blasts issue. The cat.
therefore. symbolizes downpour OF
rain; the dog, strong gusts OF wind
which accompany it, and so rain "of

One of the last occurrences on the Fer
ris wheel was the christening of two chill
dren of Mr.. G. r. Rhodes of Chicago on
the last day of the fair. 1t was done
without the knowledge of the company,
which steadfastly protested against such
notoriety. The mother carried chris
tening bowl wrapped in paper and her
e-year-old boy. Ayoung woman took up
a bottle of water in q shopping bag and
bore the 3-month-old girl in her arms,
and the officiating reverend gentleman,
DIR. d. II. Fox of Chicago, for once dis
lcreetly concealed his Bible in his over
coat pocket. Thus they passed the. un-
anspecting guard. The small boy was
christened Harold Wheeler Rhodes % the

name Of Ferris Rhodes was bestowed
upon the girl as the wheel reached the

DIR. Marks, superintendent of the CITY
hospital, cnt heart out of a mans lee
recently. Instead of being necessary tc
the patients existence. as hearts usually
Fare this organ was very dangerous
possession and was likely to end his life
at any moment. The heart was almost
as large as the one usually found inside
mans ribs and beat in very much the
same manner. 1t was situated upon the
inside OF the right leg, four or FIVE inches
above the knee, and was more tender
than the ball of the owners eye.
Charles Gentry. laborer, was the
owner of this very remarkable organ.
To the surgeons the phenomenon is called
traumatic aneurism of the femoral ar
tery. This artery is the big blood feeding
pipe that runs from the heart down
through the body and leg, furnishing life
to the different parts of the anatomy as
II goes. About two months ago Gentry
was struck upon the leg just over the ar
terry by a shaft of piece of machinery.
The inner wall of the artery was burst
and the big pipe began to bulge out at
this point. The outer wall. or coat of
the artery, luckily stretched and held the
blood, or Gentry would have bled to death
In no time.
The artery kept on swelling with ev-
cry pulsation of the patients heart.
From the size of hazelnut the bulge
grew and grew until it was larger than
q mans fist. How the artery managed
to stand it without bursting was mat
ter for wonder even to the surgeons. The
least touch given to the skin over the
swelling caused Gentry horrible pain,
and he was obliged to keep very still lest
any sudden movement or contact would
break it and by the hemorrhage bring on
death. The aneurism could be seen to
beat to all intents and purposes like any
other heart. Il one brought his ear close
20 it. he could hear constantly repeated
Blowing OF breathing sound coming from
beneath the skin. This noise was caused
by the vacant air space around the
swollen artery where it had crowded the
ing table and placed under the influence
of chloroform. A sharp knife laid the
tissues aside and exposed the femoral ar
terry with its apple shaped bulb. The ar
terry was then tied or ligated two inches
above and two inches below the swelling
and the big bulb cut open. Nearly
pntof blood gushed forth. and then there
was no heart left. The slit artery was
then sewed together with fine silk threads
