New and Ingenious Arrangement for
Transmitting Weather Indications.
This device Il intended to transmit
electrical signals for record at dis
tant point. and more particularly for
use In connection with a weather vane
or other meteorological apparatus. 1t
Is illustrated In the Scientific American.
On the weather vane shaft is a helical
cam engaged by the shorter arm Of an
angled lever pivoted In a standard, as
shown In Fig. /, and the longer arm of
the lever Is adjustably connected by a
rod WIN one end OF pivoted contact
lever whose other end rests on revolu-
BILE drum, driven from any continuously
revolving shaft.
AS the vane shaft is reyolved In one
direction by the wind, the cam moves
the shorter arm OF the lever down, and
when the deeper portion of the cam
rides past the arm, Is raised by the re-
tractile spring connected with the 9TH
er arm. When the shaft revolves In the
opposite direction the short arm Of the
lever Is carried down below the cam
shoulder by an angled lever pivoted In
a standard, curved arm engaging the
short arm Of the lever, while the short
arm Of the second lever Is engaged by
a spring pressed toe on the cam, at a
point about ninety degrees distant from
the shoulder. The contact leveris thus
swung to bring its free end into cleo
trical contact with the contact surfaces
of the revoluble drum.
The latter is preferably made of metal
with insulation at its periphery and cut
away at points where an electrical
contact Is desired. With recording
instrument located ut distance, as
shown in Fig. 2. one wire of the trans
hitting apparatus Is connected with
the contact lever and the other wire is

The Snow brothers, Of Decatur, Ind,
are the acknowledged youngest jour-
nalists in the United States today.
Earl E. was 13 years old last month,
and Horace H. will be o years old next
month. July II, 1904, they began the
publication Of the Star News, small
folio newspaper, and have published
it regularly, every second week, since.
The boys being unusually bright and
intelligent, soon learned the art of type
setting and printing, their only instruc-
tor being specimen books and printers
catalogues. They issue the Star News
without any assistance. Earl, the old
er, prepares all copy and assists In
typesetting, and has great journalistic
aspirations. He has also developed
fine taste and skill as a job printer.
Horace, the younger, does the distribu.
ton Of the type and press work. Both
solicit advertisements and subscrip-
tons. Their paper Is patronized by
the leading merchants of the town. and

An Incident in the Life of Queen Vic
toria's Mother-in-Law.
Queen Victoria, who Is one of the
most uncompromising of reigning mon
archs in her intolerance toward those
who are divorced, Is herself the daugh.
tcr-in-law of princess who was d.
vorced by her husband under singu-
larry sensational circumstances. The
mother of the prince consort was a
lovely woman-it was from her that he
inherited his good looks-and was the
last descendant Of the dukes Of Gotha,
whose dominions may be said to have
constituted her marriage portion, since
they were incorporated with those Of
Saxe-Coburg ut the time Of her union
to the duke Of that petty sovereignty.
A drunkard and a profigate of the
most coarse character, the duke treated
his young and beautiful wife with dis
graceful brutality; so much so, indeed,
that the imperial diet felt constrained
to interfere in her behalf, while the
good people Of Coburg showed their
sympathy with their blonde and blue
eyed duchess by smashing every win
Cow of the husbands palace and by
almost lynching his Polish favorite,
Count Schimbowski.
At length the duchess could no longer
bear her treatment and eloped from
Coburg with young cavalry lieuten-
ant of the name of Baron Won Hanstein.
The duke at once sued for a divorce,
which was granted, and the young
mother was never permitted to see her
children again until just before the
Prince. consort's marriage, they being

Press, which he conducts, Is noted for
the beautiful books which 1t produces.
An American woman, Emma Lazarus,
wrote Of him a few years ago: "For
himself he eschews wealth and luxury,
which are within easy reach of his ver-
satile and brilliant talents, in order that
for a few at least of his brother men
he may rob toll Of its drudgery, servi-
tude of its sting, and poverty of its
horrors" Though he seems to be set
nowadays on winning laurels as a de-
signer and publisher, William Morris
has long and brilliant record as a
poet. His first book Of verse, "The De-
Tense Of Guinevere and Other Poems"
was published as far back as 1853

There Is no so little understood a man
In the literary world Of London as Will
lam Morris, who has been spoken Of
lately In connection with the post Of
poet laureate. 1t Is because he Is so
many-sided man that he Is known
neither by his countrymen nor by
Americans. If he were only a mere
poet 1t would be easy to write Of him
to make an estimate and properly clas-
sify him-but he Is larger figure in life
than he is in literature, and he there
fore belongs to the future rather than
to the present in the way Of criticism.
He is spoken Of indiscriminately as
socialist, as designer of furniture and
wall paper, and as a poet. At Kelms-
colt House, Hammersmith, he designs

A medical journal says that In the
continued use Of the eyes, In such work
as sewing, type-setting, bookkeeping,
reading and studying, the saving point
Is in breaking on work ut SHORT inter-
walls and looking around the room. This
may be practiced every ten or fifteen
minutes. BY doing this the muscular
tension is relieved, the eyes are rested,
and the blood supply becomes better.

A Small Principality.

One of the smallest monarchies in Eu-
rope Is the principally of Hchtenstein,
wedged in between Austria and Switz-
erland. 1t measures about fifty square
miles and has population of 5000 all
told. Lately its parliament of fifteen
members accused the sovereign of vio-
lating the constitution. Thereupon the
Prince simply prorogued the parlia-
ment "until further notice." and now
all is quiet again along the waters of
the Rhine.

Gros Ventres (both of whom were known to
be to the north of us) might be moving to
the assistance of the Nez Perces.
1t hac been reported that the moving COL
umn was a large body of Indians Every
officers field glass was turned in that direc-
ton and as the long, dark column moved
through the mist OF light snow, slowly de-
veloping its strength as 1t made its way
toward us over the distant hills and rolling
prairie, 1 watched it with great anxiety
Considering our condition, the large herd of
captured stock we were holding and the
hostile camp We were besieging, and the
number of our wounded, such formidable
reinforcement would, of course, be very
serious matter and the thoughts ran quickly
through my mind as to the best dispositions
to make in order to hold what we had gained
and repel any effort, no matter how strong,
to rescue the besieged or overcome our small
but very efficient force. We could use our
artillery and quite a large portion OF our
troops against any additional enemy, and still
keep the fruits of victory already gained
The mysterious and apparently formidable
force drew nearer and nearer, when some
Of the scouts on the extreme outposts
shouted "buffalos!' and it was most graft
flying cry. The relief occasioned by this an
nouncement was like that afforded to the
mariner by the appearance of a beacon light,
or like sunlight bursting through the dark
and angry clouds of a storm.
CHIEF JoSEPH'S SURRENDER.
The snow and cold caused great suffering
to our wounded, although they were made
as comfortable as possible, and while the
siege continued detachments were sent some
five miles distant up into the Bears Paw
mountains to get poles with which to make
travois and stretchers, knowing that the
wounded must soon be transported to the
nearest hospital
On the evening of the 4th of October How
ard came up with an escort of twelve men,
remaining in our camp over night. and was
present next morning at the surrender of
Chief Joseph and the entire Indian camp.
AS Chief Joseph was about to hand his rifle
to me, he raised his eyes toward the sun,
which then stood at about 10 o'clock. and
said: "From where the sun now stands,
fight no more against the white man." From
that time to this he has kept his word Those
who surrendered with Chief Joseph. and those
taken outside the camp, numbered 400. There
were killed twenty-six in all and forty-six
wounded The work of securing the arms of
the Indians, buryng the dead and preparing
the wounded for their long journey, occu-
pied the entire day; but on the following
morning we commenced our slow and diff
cult march back to the Missouri river,
distance of about sixty-fye miles.

Weak N Nerves

Indicate rs surely ms any physical
svmptom shows anything, that the or
cans and tissues of the body are not
satisfied with their nourishment.
They draw their su,tenauce from
tbe blood, and if the blood is thin, inn
pure or insufficient, they are in state
Of revolt. Their complaints are made
10 the brain, the king of tho body,
through the nervous system, and the
result Of the general dissatisfaction is
what we call Nervousness.
This is n concise, reasonable expla-
nation of the whole matter.
The cure for Nervousness, then, is
simple. Purify and enrich your blood
by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, and the
nerves, tissues and organs will have
the healthful nouishment they crave.
Nervousness and Weakness will then
give way to strength aud health.
That this is not theory but fact is
proven by the voluntary statements of
thousands cured by Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. Read the next column.
