able Showing.

The monthly weather report fur
nished by Observer Ling. of Havre,
gives the following interesting infor-
nation about the unprecedented
November just expired;
The mean temperature for the
month was 10, against an average of
29o for the corresponding month i'm
seventeen years. The warmest
November on the records was that
of 1880. with an average of 40. and
the coolest, prior tn this year, was
that of 1850. whose mean tempera-
ture was DO During the past month
the highest temperature reached was
53o ON the 4th. and the lowest $50 be-
low zero on the 2Oth.
In precipitation also the past
November was a remarkable month,
the total for the 30 days being ] so
inches, against an average of less
previous years. The only November
i'm which the I recipitatiOn of the
past month has been exceeded was
that of 1888. with a record of 3.76
inches. With these two exceptions
the November precipitation has
ranged from about an inch to only IA
trace of moisture.
The month oy November, 1896, was
certainly a most remarkable period,
from the standpoint of the weather

Decimal Clocks.

"The latest" in clocks and watches
is distinctly original. 1t cones from
France. The suggestion is that the
decimal system should be adopted for
clocks and watches. bidding gool-by to
our old friends II and ~ o'clock entire
ly, and To divide the face of the clock
into ten instead of twelve sections.
This system is now used by the geo
graphical bureau of the French army,
and it is urged that it dim.nishes the
labor of calculation by two-thirls. ami
lessons the chances of mathenlai ical
error from four to one. The following
is an outline of the rules of the decimal
system as applied 10 timepieces:
THE day, from midnight to the MD
night following, is to be divided int.
100 equal parts, known as 'ces.'
THE subdivisions, according to the
decimal plan, are 'decices,' or tenihs.
'centices,' or hundredths, 'millices,' or
thousandths.
Zone of the main divisions, the 'ces,
is equal to IA minutes and ~ seconds,
or almost quarter of an hour"
This, say the scientists, is the easi-
est possible system, but the poor lay
mind, we are afraid, will not quite
agree with such a conclusion, and SIX

mate" said a lady who had just re-
turned from a European jaunt. 1--WE
fell in with some Cleveland people on
shipboard going, with whom we were
acquainted only by name, but in a
few hours we shared condolences like
lifelong friends. II was the same way
wherever we chanced to find our coun-
trymen. At Rome we ran across a
Cleveland clergyman, and you would
have thought we were long lost rela-
tives from the cordial way he greeted
the discovery that we were also Cleve-
!anders. In fact, it is quite impossible
to feel lonely if you know that any Of
your home people are about. All the
frigid barriers of social distinctions
are melted down, and everyone is on
one plane of friendly equality. Yes,
and they are not seaside acquaintances
either; when they meet again the old
freemasonry of common interest draws
them straiehtway together. and they
live those delightful experiences over
again in sympathetic "reminiscences.

y.nderb,,t.s Business Nose.

Said business man of wide expert
ence and observations: Have you ever
observed the nloney-making nose? 1t
is a strong, well-formed nose. invariably
curved somewhat like n beak. That
crook in the hose is the unfailing sign
of moneymaking ability. l have OBJ
served it for years. If you doubt il.
look about you and you will find that
every wealthy man who has made his
own money out of nothing has more OF
less such a nse. A very fine example
of the money-making nose is that which
adorns the face of Cornelius Wander
bilt. who, though born with a gold
spoon in his mouth. has shown very
marked ability in the increase of his
fortune. Most of our bankers and rail-
way presidents have similar noses."-

ters ON Election Night
The election bureau of the police
board is the official recipient of the
returns from the voting precincts. This
bureau furnishes each poll with blanks
for the official record and also with
four sets of small blanks for each Office
AS soon as the count for an Office is
finished the four inspectors sign all
four blanks and policeman takes
them to a police headquarters, and
quickly returns for others. Thus the
count goes on until it is completed
sometimes not before midnight.
Meantime there have gathered in a
large room at police headquarters all
the commissioners. the superintend-
ent, a great number of newspaper re-
porters with pencils sharpened at both
ends. while the walls are lined with
messenger and telephone boys. As soon
as report is brought il is read out
by the superintenden Mt. taken down by
the newspaper men. and forwarded to
their editors as rapidly as possible. By
eight O'Clock the returns come thick
and fast. and nothing is heard but the
scratching of pencils and the footsteps
of racing messengers. The commits
sioners soon go to their private offices,
for they know that anxious candidates
will speedily be called to learn
their fate. although a very lair idea has
spread abroad by nine or ten o'clock as
| to how the state ard city have gone
ON the principal issues. In the case of
the election of November. 1894. every
body knew that Tammany was beaten
long before that hour.
But the fun of the street is not for

with almost superhuman diligence
