The arrow flies with the wind. The top figures
at station indicate maximum temperature for the
days; those underneath it, IL any, the amount Of
rainfall, Of melted snow in inches and hundredths
during the past twelve hours. Isohars, or solid
lines, connect poin of equal air pressure; iso-
therms or dotted lines, equal temperature. The
word "high" means high baremetric pressure and
is usually accom- panied by fair weather.: '1ow''
refers TO low pressure. and is usually preceded
and accompanied by cloudy weather and rains.
Lows ally first appear the Washington
coast. When the pressure is high in the interior
and low along the coast and the isobars extend
north and south along the coast. rain is probable;
but when the ''lOw'' is inclosed with isobars of
marked curvature, rain south of Oregon is improb-
able. With a "high" in the vicinity of Idaho, and
the pressure falling to the California warmer
weather may be expected in summer and colder
weather in winter The reverse of these conditions
VIII produce an opposite result.

The reason that one can drop pins into
a tumbler brimful of water until the water
stands much higher than the edge of the
glass is that the glass, when dry, has the
property of repulsing water in such high
degree as to keep it back from the edge of
the tumbler until it rises so high that the
downward pressure becomes sufficient to
overcome the repulsion of the glass.
Try it!

AGlN THE TRUST.
NTI-TRUST GLASS COMBINE WITH
A MILLION CAPITAL.
St. Louis Will be Tneater of its Opera
tions and it Will Fight the Big
Pittsburg Combine.

st. Louis, Dec. 16.-The Globe-Dem-
ocrat today prints the following: Now
it is said st. Louis is to have q ST.
100000 plate glass manufacturing
company. The story is that num-
Der of local capitalists have been
holding quiet meetings during the
past few weeks and as a result the
incorporation papers Of a big anti
trust company will probably be filed
before January /,
One of the best known plate glass
manufacturers in the country has been
here looking over the ground. In all
probability the plant will be in East
st. Louis. The general offices will be
here. The company will be organized
it is said, to fight the plate glass trust
which is known in the east as the
Pittsburg Plate Glass company, and
in the west as the Western Plate Glass
company. Nearly all the parties In
the deal are st. Louisians, though
considerable eastern money is invest
ed. The capital stock, it is said, will
be at least $1,O00,000, though, it may
go higher.
The parties organizing the deal for
the antitrust company do not desire
that their identity be inclosed at pres
ent, as it might upset some Of their
plans.
The plate glass firm Of Drey & Kahn
has been vigorously fighting the trust,
Mr.. Leo Drey, when seen last night
said: Eyes, know Of the movement
to organize a big antitrust company
in st. Louis. There is no reason why
company Of that character should
not succeed"
