May Lose Their stock.

A press telegram from Yuma says: for years ranged their stock on the ex- tensive lands of the Blythe concession in Lower California near here are likely to lose all their stock through seizure by the Mexican customs au- thorities. Until the boundary line was recently surveyed, no one knew exactly where the line was, and cat tie roamed over the whole country with perfect freedom. About three mouths ago. however, the Mexican government established civil authori- tyoyer the northeastern part of Low CT California, and the vicinity soon swarmed with judges, sheriifs, GUS toms inspectors and other petty ofi- Cials. A month ag) roundup was ordered. and the result was that all the stock was seized and contiscated.
 Joseph $. Carter, an American who has been in the country ten years and whose stock was all born on Mexi- can soil, was arrested and is now in jail at Ensenada. Donald Moore and William Carney, two other Americans s.who were driving through the coun- try looking for range, were also ar- rested and are in jail. Their entire outfits were contiscated Charles Bak- CT, Peter Johnson and some others left the country, but all their stock is in the hands of the Mexicans. The stock is valued at sl5,OOO It will be driven to Ensehada and sold.

The New York Racket Store Seeking
Larger Quarters.

As will be seen by their announce
meDt Ia this issue OF THE JOURNAL L,
the New York Racket store OF TINS
city will move into the more spacious
quarters In the Eldridge block opposite
the First National Bank, formerly Oc-
cupied by Keller's furniture store. This
move has become an absolute necessity,
as Mr.. Barnes' growing business has
for some tiLue past demanded more
room. Since establishing In Salem
four years ago the New York Racket
Store has been decided success. It's
business methods Of buying and selling
for cash give advantages that are ap-
preciated by the people, and as result
every branch Of the business has en-
jOyed phenomenal growth from the
start.
When first opened this concern car
ried only a small stock of Racket
goods, and little help was needed II
wait upon the customers. From time
to time new lines have been added un-
til today their stock consists of q mann.
moth line Of Racket goods, a complete
stock Of shoes in all grades, mems aud
boys clothing and hats, ladies' and
gents furnishing goods, and innumcr-
able articles OF household necessity. A
large force Of salespeople is required to
handle the trade.
Thus from small beginnings this
business has grown until 1t becomes
necessary to occupy the largest store
room of It's kind In the city.
The store building which they will
occupy will be entered by force OF
workmen as soon rs the room Is cleared
from the exhibits of the rose fair, and
will be remodeled to suit the needs OF
this large business. The removal will
take place about July 1st, when old
patrons will be made welcome to in
spect the large new stocks coming in.

WEIGHING THE AIR.
a Seryiceable Barometer That Anybody
May Make without Expense.

There Is one atmospheric phenomenon
about which there is "a widespread miscon-
ception When the smoke lies close 20 the
surface OF the earth, instead of moving up
ward as IL generally does, many people
think 10 is because the air is heavy The
same people Will tell You perhaps that
damp air is heavier than dry air. for it ia
on days when the air Is damp that the
smoke lies close 10 the earth
On the contrary damp air IS lighter
than dry air, and ~ Is because the air is
damp that the smoke does not ascend. IL
Is purely question OF gravity, OF weight.
II the lower stratum OF air bc heavier than
the smoke the latter will 90 up Il it be
lighter than the smoke, the smoke Will not
60 up SO readily.
The barometer : the instrument used by
the scientists TO determine the relative
weight Of the air rs usually made it
consists Of cup Of mercury with which
Is connected a graduated glass tube. From.
the upper part of this tube the air has been
exhausted, thus forming vacuum, and
the height Of the column Of mercury in the
tube denotes the weight Of the atmosphere.
The explanation of this is quite simple.
The pressure of the atmosphere upon the
mercury IN the cup forces the mercury up
into the tube. where it meets no resistance
because the empty part OF the tube is a vac
uum Hence the column Of mercury will
rise or fall in the tube as the pressure Is
greater or less
Everybody Is familiar enough with
weather reports 20 know that we have
"high barometer" on clear, dry days and
Glow barometer on damp days; that the
first indicates good weather and the last
stormy weather. But "high barometer
means that the column Of mercury is we'll
up in the tube, and "low barometer that
It Is down We know therefore that as dry
air bears down more heavily upon the mcr-
curry in the cup than damp air, It must be
heayicr than damp air.
A very simple and scryiccable barometer
may Zee made AT home, without cost. The
only things needed are a wide mouthcd
glass jar-a pickle bottle viii do-a clean
Venetian OH flask and half pint Of plain
water Pour the water into the jar, let.
ting it como 20 within one-third Of the top,
and insert the oil flask upside down in the
jar 50 that thc neck Of the flask Will just
enter the water That is all.
If the atmospheric conditions are fayora-
BILE 90 clear fine weather, the water will
rise i'm the flask; IT, on the contrary, a
storm is i'm prospect, the water viii fall.
The air affects the water just as il does the
mercury in hetubc.-philadclph Times
