1T HAS COME TO STAY.
Usefulness of Search Lights as Adjuncts
of the Weather Bureau.

OF the w eaTher Bureau
Chicago, Ill, March 2.-The search light
as an adjunct to the Weather Bureau has
come to stay. The initial attempt to an
nounce by search light the approach of a
gale and cold wave has been made
from the top of the auditorium tower. 1t
was vindication of Secretary Morton's
policy in ordering the light placed in po-
sition, and of Prof. Moore's assertion that
it would fulfill all expectations.
A white flash-light was used, succeeded
by a green light, which in a single revolu-
ton Illuminated circuit of forty miles
in diameter over lake and land alike.
To-day the Weather Bureau was over
whelmed with messages of oongratulation
A sample illustration of the utility of the
light was tie fact that Frank Smith, of the
Itasca farm, twenty-five miles distant
from the Auditorium, profited by the warn
ing to house his blooded stock against the
coming storm.

Is JOHANN ORTIZ STILL ALIVE.
Interesting Statements Regarding
the Romantic Archdpke.

FROM the New 1OIk 4I4buiies
The mystery surrounding the disappear
ance of Johann Ortiz, the romantic Arch
duke Johann Salvador Of Austria, who re-
nounced his privileges and titles, seems
to grow deeper as time goes by. More
than three years have passed since it was
reported that he had gone down in South
Pacific waters with his vessel, the Marga-
rete then on her way from Chill. But
rumors have arisen since then that he
is still allve-and these rumors, at least,
one OF the most persistent believers
that the archduke is still in the land OF
the living is Prof. Won Siemiradski of
Germany.
AT the time Of the supposed wreck of
the Margarete," he wrote in a recent ar
ticle published in a German paper, Il was
in Buenos Ayres. There heard first that
the archduke, after dismissing all his sail
ors, had sold his ship to young man OF
Buenos Ayres, as the command Of a ship
sailing around Cape Horn was TOO danger
Gus an undertaking, even for an officer
with the experience and skill of Johann
Orth. Whether the ship, as was reported,
really went down with a load Of guano on
board, or whether IL simply received an
other name and thus disappeared from the
marine registers, can only be answered
by the insurance societies; and II Is said
that they paid the losses. But one thing
is certain; Johann Orth at the reported
time of the sinking Of the Marguerite was
man who purchased the ship from the
prince was told me at the time, but IL has
now escaped my memory.
six months later Just after the suicide
OF Balmaceda, in April, 1892, l returned to
Santiago, Chill. There l soon met several
German officers then in the Navy of Chill.
In the German Club of Santiago no secret
was made of the fact that the archduke
was in the Gillian navy, and had fought
throughout the war against Balmaceda
as an officer of the revolutionary navy. 1t
was even supposed that the new govern
ment would give the command of the new
battleship, presdente ErraZuriz, to the
successful young commander Whether
Johann Orth really received this command
and whether he remained in the service
of Chill after the war, l am unable to
say. 1 only assert that in case he remain
ed in Chilli his presence in Japan is easily
possible as the battle ship Presidente Err
razurz, which he was to command, ac-
cordng to report, with it's sailors and ar
mament. was lent to Japan.
THE reports that the archduke took
part in the war in Brazil are false, how
ever. I had many friends in the army,
and the preSence of such a man among the
few leaderpbf the revolution could not re-
main unknown"
The story of Prof. Won Siemiradski has
excited great interest in Austria and Ger
many and many believe that the clever
prince viii one day return to his home
with glory won by his own efforts sur
passing that inherited glory which he
spurned

MORE SCIENCE THAN SENSE.
Harrington Wasn't as Reliable as n
Goose Bone or "a Nebraska Cow.

From an interview with Secretary Nor
ton in the New York World
There Is more science in the way we
predict weather than there is sense. There
Is altogether too much science about it,
would rather have an old farmer with
rheumatism in his shoulder and soft corn
on his foot than all the professors and
their COMPOUNDED books that Harrington
has got. There amt a COW in the whole
of Nebraska that don't know when 1t is
going to rain, and there is not a professor
in the whole weather bureau who cantdo
as we'll as a cow--and she never looked at
book and never went to college. There is
more lcussed nonsense in the Weather Blu
reau than any freak the government sup
the standard of the Weather Bureau up
10 that of a flock of geese. for they know
a change OF weather long before these wise
men, and never miss it."

RECALL the story Of John Cudahy-apd
we all like to hear it--at this particular
time, for It was two years ago this month
that the whole world was amazed at his
failure. His liabilities aggregated over
81, 500, 600. Cudahy gave his notes to tho
creditors to pay In full-e6 per cent In two
years, 26 per cent In three years and tho
remaining 30 per cent In 1898. The notes
drew no interest, but were indorsed by
Cudahy's brother Michael. There was
considerable speculation for awhile In this
paper, and some of It was bought at dis.
count, for few believed that the man could
ever earn enough To meet bis obligations.
It was announced In Chicago q few
days ago, however, that the necessary
funds were now In bank to meet the first
obligation-at least e826, 600. It was dis.
tributed among about 100 creditors. All
Of this money hos been mado by Mr.. Cud-
ahy within the two years without the helr
of friends, and, without doubt, no Il the
best speculator In the grain or provision
trade. He has made most Of his profits OH
the short side, and most Of his losses have
been In attempts to bull the market Hia
success Of late has boon phenomenal. He
recently covered moro pork than II was
thought he had been short Of, and several
times ns much as had boon manufactured
this season.
II is sold that II no meots with no mis-.
fortune within tho next two years no will
have cleared enough 10 mect all his obliga.
tions and have q neat surplus remaining.

Victims Of Mob Law.

In the August number OF The Basis
Judge Albion w. Tourgee estimates the
number Of mob murders from March /,
1896, 10 Aug. to be 104. This Is fear
full number of people to be slaughtered
outside of the pale of the law. The crimes
for which these people were murdered afe
entirely irrelevant rs IN excuse. Grim
inals are supposed to be innocent In the
eye Of the law until they are proved to be
guilty as charged, and the verdict Of no
mob, however respectable tho elements
which compose It, can be taken as suffi-
cient warrant for its lawlessness.

INDIANS ON WHEELS.
The Bicycle Fever Spreads Among this
Last OF the Mashpees.


The last of the Mashpee tribe of Indians
have taken to bicycling and If Secretary
Lamont really has any desire to keep his
western red men peaceable and happy he
should send an expert down to Mashpee,
Mass, to study the effect of the bicycle on
the Cape Cod Indian.
Hitherto the Mashpee bucks have been
content to stick to hunting and fishing
with little agricultural labor now and
then, while the women told fortunes
raised pappooses and made sweet smelling
grasses into baskets to be sold to summer
visitors. But change Is in progress. The
bicycle has invaded Mashpee. Usually the
Indians make good profit Of the summer
and fall seasons, but this year, If every
body who wanted one had been able to Sc
cure q bicycle the cash results from tho
hunting and fishing season might have
suffered For miles around natives and
summer residents have become accustomed
to meeting Indians, wheeling briskly over
the sandy roads, through the country
their ancestors bartered for tin pots and
hatchets. No doubt some of the ancestors
of these bicycle riders were swift footed
runners, who carried messages from tho
Indian chiefs to the Pilgrims and Captain
Miles Standish at Plymouth.
The Indians make capital riders and
catch the fever as quickly az do white
men. They have not come yet, however
to knickerbockers, norfolk coats, Scotch
golflng hosiery and bicycle caps. Long
trousers, dark flannel shirts and broad
brimmed, dark hats are becoming TO the
tall, swarthy men. Only few OF them are
able to buy bicycles, but by next summer
there will be enough Of them 10 form the
first Indian bicycle club In the country.
None Of the women ride but they all may
be learning In secret, as theeooiety woman
does.-New York Sun.
