CHARLESTON, w. VA, February 10

last week or two in the armory at the
Capitol, arranging permanent eXhl OIL
of the West Virginia display at the
Worlds Fair. The exhibit will COM
prise the more worthy portions OF al
the State exhibits at the Fair. Inc
whole of the mining and forestry eX-
hiblts, most of the wool, agricultural
and educational exhibits are oelng
tastefully arranged and the large
armory which has been deVot-
ed to the permanent reception
of this display, is scarcely
large enough to contain 1t all. Inc

riAn Society, which occupies the hall OF
the House of Delegates while that body
is not in session and which is homeless

to have charge of and keep as the prop
erty of the society. This display will,
however, remain the property OF the

ished the Historical Society with IT,

the hole is full of water 20 within six

The we'll is ten inches in diameter and

over eighty feet from the surf2ce. In
sfnking the well the drill passed
through two strata OF fire clay and four
Of iron ore, one Of the latter being the
strata upon which the foundation Of
the Main street stone bridge rests, but
which at the site of the well was very
thin. Very little sand and no lodges OF
rock worth mentioning were encounter
ed, but on the first attempt 20 sink the

Under existing conditions, however.
neither England nor the continent

to allow American balances to run

There is little probability therefore

March Forecast, 1904.

The month will register its Ell.
trance cold and frosty in eastern
parts: in the west the temperature
will be growing warmer and the
storm threatening conditions devel-
oping, which will eliminate in a
storm waye about the Sd or 4th in
central and eastern parts, which
most likely will be severe and OF q
general character leaving in many
places some snow and a cold wave
in it's rear. About the 5th a change
to warmer will start in the west,
moving eastward followed closely
by wave OF disturbance which will
be in transit from the eth to the 9Th
in central and eastern parts. Snow.
sleet and storms of wind are likely
to prevail. especially the latter on
the lakes and the Atlantic coast. A
cold wave is likely to set in after
the passage of the storm holding to
about the l2th or 18th. The rain
fall from this period is likely to be
more general and in greater quantl-
ties than has fallen in the past
months of the winter. The storms
of wind following tho 10th or 10Th
of the month will be very severe in
the storm areas, hurricanes and cy-
clones will develop in many por-
tions Of southern and western terri
tory. and also gales exceeding the
ordinary will be felt both on the
northern lakes and the Atlantic on
or touching the above dates. Much
electric display in the sense of light
ming and claps Of thunder will be
an accompaniment OF the periods
of storm in question. From about
the 18th to 10th storms will be on
their passage, which perhaps may
leave in their tracks across the con-
tlnent some snow and swollen
streams. From the 10th to the
23d will usher in another period of
storms of wind and rain. And
from the 2jth to the 9Th period
Of disturbance is reached. All of
which are likely to prove in their
passage severer at points where con-
ditions favor storm development.
The month will close with storm
on the wing. The first half of the
month Of April is likely to be very
changeable alternating from warm
and spring-like to cool and very
chilly and attended by wet. The
after part favorable.
