BUFFALO. May 1S.-Dispatches from all
over western New York prove that this
section of the State has suffered from the
frost. but the extent Of the damage is mere
guesswork Along the grape belt i'm Chsu-
tauqua county the grape growers take a
melancholy view OF the outlook, but il
would be strange IL the crop were entirely
destroyed as some alarming dispatches say.
In Niagara county, where small fruits are
freely raised, there is disposition to take
a gloomy view Of the ravages Of the frost,
but conservative judges say the damage -
not general or severe Next to
grapes Strawberries perhaps have
been more seriously hurt. In
perhaps have been more seriously hurt In
Allegheny county the lowest tempeature
is recorded, twenty-five degrees. and IL IS
likely that all kinds OF fruits have been
damaged. In Genesee county IL is said the
frost has killed the worms. but that the
apples are not hurt. Dispatches from west
ern Ontario indicate that the temperature
was very low there, and the damage per-
haps very much heavier than on this side OF
the border.

WORSE THAN A GREAT FIRE
VINES THAT WE'RE LOADED WITH
BUDS NOW BLACKENED RUNS.
Fruits. Vegetables and Everything of
Tender Nature Killed In Many
Sections of the Country.

NEW YORK, May 13.-Reports from
many sections OF the State indicate that
last nights frost did an immense amount
OF damage TO growing vegetables. crops
and fruits. kilograms from Dunkirk state
that the entire grape crop OF the Chautau-
qua grape belt was ruined. The loss is
estimated at $l,5O0.0o0 in this belt That
hgure was the value OF last years crop,
and by reason of new acreage coming into
bearing the crop this year would have
been much larger. The Chautauqua crane
belt extends through Erie county. west
ward 10 Erie. 1t occupies a strip from five
to eight miles in width along the south
ern shore of Lake Erie. The number OF
acres bearing grapes last year was 2I.0co.
This year $1,000 acres would have been bear
ing. The vines were loaded with buds last
evening and to-day from one end of the
belt to the other the vineyards are nothing
but blackened ruins and have the appear
ance OF having been visited by fire. Three
thousand six hundred freight cars were
loaded from the belt last season. The total
number of baskets reached 1OsoooO0. To
this number three million might safely be
added for increased acreage this year. Al
Dunkirk the thermometer fell TO % de.
grees. Every vine is destroyed.
Silver Creek last year shipped 200 cars.
This place is remarkably we'll sheltered.
Everything is destroyed. At Forestville
every farmer has planted every available
acre To grapes and the frost last night
ruined every vine. Other fruits suffered
nearly as much. There will be cherries.
At Ripley, where yearly four hundred cars
were shipped this year will not have one
basket of grapes. The grape growers are
demoralized. and do not know what they
will do The thermometer fell TO degrees
below freezing. At westfield the vines are
entirely cut down. Some growers will pow
up the vineyards and return to the old
style of general farming.
Brockton. generally known as the center
of the Chautauqua grape belt, is in mourn
ing to-day. Nothing is raised there but
grapes. and the frost last night cut them
all down. Gerry Hickman. the millionaire
grape grower and wine manufacturer. says
the loss In the belt by reason OF the de-
struction done TO the grapes will reach at
least 100000. His own loss he estimates
lat $4,000. At Fredona nothing OF the
grape crop can be saved. Had fire gone
through the vineyards IL could not have
been more thorough in its effects.

The Barometer,

The barometer was invented by Torriccl-
II, apupil Of Galilei, in 1913. In attempting
to pump water from very deep well near
Florence he found that in spite of all his
efforts the liquid would not rise higher in
the pump stock than 32 feet. This set the
young scientist to thinking, and as he
could not account for the phenomenon in
any other way he was not slow in attribut-
ing it to atmospheric pressure He ar
gued that water would rise in a vacuum
only to such height as would render the
downward pressure or weight of the col
umn of water just equal to the atmos-
pheric pressure, and further that should
heavier fluid be used the height of tho col
umn could be much reduced. TO provo
this he selected glass tube four feet long,
and after sealing one end filled it with
mercury and then inverted it in n basin
containing quantity of the same pccul-
lar liquid. The column in the tube quick
ly fell to q height of nearly 30 inches above
the mercury in the BASIN leaving in the
top of the tube IL vacuum, which is the
most perfect that has ever been obtained,
and which is to this day called the Torriccl-
Ii vacuum in honor of its discoyefer. The
name of the instrument means "air meas
ure, and it's fundamental principles can
not be better illustrated than by the above
described experiment.-St. Louis Rcpub-

members of the band with their lips
glued to their instruments. High in
the sky scared an unassuming moon,
family silver.
For time the young man was afraid
to approach the two girls. He followed
them at distance and called himself a
coward. At last, however, he saw them
stop on the outer edge of the crowd
and stand silently listening to the
voices of the sea. When he came to
where they stood, he was trembling in
his agitation. They had not seen him.

The girl wheeled instantly and put

But the other girl was one Of those
beings who are born to attend at
tragedies. She had for love a reverence,
an admiration that was greater the
she knew nothing of it. This couple
with their fine emotions, awed her and
made her humbly wish that she might
be destined to be of some service to
them. She was very homcly.
When the young man faltered before
them, she, in her sympathy, actually
overestimated the crisis and felt that he
might fall dying at their feet. Shyly,
but with courage, she marched to the
rescue. won't you come walk on TIL

man gave her glance of deep graft

three walked on.
Finally the being who was born to
attend at this tragedy said that she
wished to sit down and gaze at the sea,
alone.
They politely urged her to walk on
with them, but she was obstinate. She
wished to gaze at the sea, alone. The
Young man swore to himself that he
would be her friend until he died.
And so the two young lovers went on
without her. They turned once to look
at her.
"Jennie's awful NICE" said the girl.
.'You bet she is" replied the young
man, with great feeling.
They were silent for q little time.

ARE THESE SENSES lDENrlcALr
1t Is Said the Capacity to Smell and Taste
Has tho Same Origin.


The man who smoked in tho darl, one
night ana discovered that when he couldn't
see the smoke all the pleasure of burning
tobacco was lost Is not more remarkable
than the individual who has now discov.
cred that the senses of taste and of smell
are identical. This gentleman advances
the theory that the sense Of taste depends
upon the number of minute tentacles which
constitute the surface of the tongue, and
he says that some men have three times as
many of these as others. The latter never
become Commands, and their sense of
smell is, says this observer, deficient
In proof OF these assertions it is said that
when you have bad cold you almost lose
both these senses; that you can neither de-
tect delicate odors, like that of perfume,
otherwise so noticeable, nor identify the
favors of different kinds OF foods and
drinks. The smoker who has severe cold
finds that his cigar or cigarette yields but
little pleasure and he finds that his glass

tronomy fine artssaid that of all the
senses in their natural state taste procures
us Inc GREATEST ilHiDcfO Oh cDJOyUlc0lS. For
this he gives six reasons, as follows:
Because the pleasure of eating, taken in
moderation, is the only one that is not fol-
lowed by fatigue.
Because it is common to every age, time
and condition.
Because it must return once at least
VERY day and may during that space of
time be easily repeated two or three times
Because it can combine with all our
other pleasures, and even console us for
their absence.
Because its sensations are at once more
lasting than others and more subject to
our will.
Because we have certain special but in
delinable satisfaction, arising from the in
stinctive knowledge that, by the very act
of eating, we are making good our losses
and prolonging our existence.
These are the reasons advanced by this
eminent writer to prove that taste is tho
most important OF the senses. He was also
one of the first to suspect the identity of
the senses Of taste and smell, and he said
that of two guests seated at the same ban
quet one may have delicious sensations
while the other seems to eat only because
compelled, the reason being that the latter
has tongue and nostrils only poorly fur

that people who came in contact with

and abject submission, young femi-

assented with nod
The young man upon the perch hold

nod and judged its meaning. Into his

When the merry -go-round was closed
and the two girls started for the beach,
he wandered off aimlessly in another
direction, but he kept them in view and
as soon as he was assured that he had
escaped the vigilance of Stimson, he
followed them.
The electric lights on the beach made
a broad band Of trcmoring light, ex-
tending parallel to the sea, and upon
the wide walk there slowly paraded o
great crowd intermingling, intertwin-
