The "olG weather lore, - founded on nat
nral appearances, is the only true weather
guide. Old sailors and shepherds, whose
lives are continuously spent in the open
air, have always been considered the most
'weatherwise" from their daily observance
of the appearances of the sky. So far as
my own experience goes, have observed
that dapplcd or "mackerel sky-neyer
long dry as the old proverb says-is a
pretty sure forerunner of a speedy down
fall Light, feecy morning clouds are
another sign of rain. Another well known
importance is .'Noah's ark" which Is

A very pale blue evening sky and sickly
Pickering stars are an invariable sign that
we shall have rain on the morrow. With

ways found a very giittering, sunny day,

Of a storm, and hazy circle round the
moon is an indication of stormy weather.

FRENCH STATESMEN MEET Oh THE
FIELD OF HONOR
Which. In the Improved Partisan Style

and Satisfactory I'roceeding-Two
Shots Exchanged AuicabIy-What
Led to the Meeting.

Paris, Dec 25.-The duel between NJ.
Jauers, the Socialist leader. and Bar
thou, minister of public works, grow
ing out of the discussion in the cham
Der of deputies yesterday, took place
this morning at st. Ouen-sur-Seine.
Dr. Barthou, as the challenged person,
selected pistols as the weapons to be
used. Two shots were exchanged with
the result usually attending French
duels, that is, nobody was hurt.
The trouble that led to the duel had
its origin in the measure introduced
yesterday by the government in the
chamber, making treason on the part
of an army officer or private punish
able with death, in time Of peace as well
as war. n. Jaures introduced coun-
ter measure providing for the abolition
Of the death penalty from the military
code, since, as he maintained, only pri-
Yates were put to death. In the dis
custom that ensued the speakers be-
came greatly excited and when NJ.
Jaures declared in replying 10 Prime
Minister DupUy that the government
had endeavored to protect a gang of
cosmopolitan exploiters, referring to
the new agreement with the Southern
Railway company, DR.. Barthou sprang
to his feet and called the speaker a liar.
NJ. Jaures was subsequently temporar-
lily expelled from the chamber. He re-
sented the insult put upon him by DR..
Barthou and the challenge and the
bloodless encounter on the field Of
honor resulted.

An Instance In Which ForEetfuiness Gsvv

=
One Of the most distinguished navisa-
tors In the United States navy was en-
gagged some years ago as navigator on
one Of the old fashioned sailing ships OF
the navy, and as it was his frs, billet he
was very DESTROYS Of making a good I'm,
preston. For the first few days he toox
his reckonings with the greatest care. but
when the ship had been out several days
he forgot 10 wind his ohronometer, which
kept Washington time II was impossible
to make any calculations on the ships po-
sition. He did not dare tell the command
er of his mishap. and so he continued to
take the latitude of the sun every day In
the most serious manner and reported the
ships position by dead reckoning, . very
uncertain operation.
Early one morning, when he thought
they must be near Barbados, their FIRST
destination, he called 3 young sailor 20
him and said: My man, want you 10 go
to the masthead and look out for land, and
when you sight II 90 not call out Land, ho''
In the usual manner, but come down
quietly and tell me about It," The sailor
ran aloft, and when at about seven bells,
Or half past II O'Clock, he saw q thin blue
streak to the south ard he ran down from
aloft and reported il to the navigator.
"Go aloft and report land in the usual
manner at eight bells, said the naviga-
tor. Hardly had the sailor reached his
perch when the captain came on deck md
walking to the navigator said:
About what time shall we sight Bar
badcs, SIR"
AT precisely eight bells, sir" was the
answer.
What" cried the captain. "do you pre-
tend TO be able to figure to the minute the
time we will sight land. Why, / never
saw a navigator who could figure within
two hours, and I have seen some good
ones"
At that moment the bell struck eight
times, and the cry OF Land, hoi' rang
out from the masthead. The captain took
the navigator's hand and said, You, sir.
are the finest navigator a6oat, and shall,
report your splendid work TO the depart
ment." The captain kept his word. He
wrote to the navy department about the
excellent work of his navigator, which wa
the direct cause Of his rapid promotion.-

Columbia which left San FRANCISCO this
morning for Portland with a large list
of passengers, is in distress. The
steamer is drifting, or sailing, past
Point Reyes, the observer cannot tell

and is blowing her whistle constantly.
The steamer Willamette which arrived
tonight passed the Columbia this al

gave no indication of being in distress.
1t was some time after this, however,
that the observer at Point Reyes re-
ported her. Tugs have left this city
to go to the assistance Of the Columbia.
