INVADING THE CLOUDS.
Kites to Be Used to Secure Informa-
ton for the Weather Bureau.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The wealth
er bureau, under the direction of Prof.
Moore, is now engaged in experiment.
ing In the management of aerop1anes
OF kites that promise to be of high sci
entific value. For some time past
these experiments have been made in
small way, but last Saturday prepa-
rat1onS were made to have a test on a
large scale of several forms of. kites at
the Fort Myer military reservation, and
a company of scientists were on hand
to witness the experiments, which,
however, were postponed because of
the prevalence of an almost absolute
calm. 1t is the purpose of Prof Moore
to devise system Of kites that can
be relied upon to carry a considerable
weight. six or eight pounds, perhaps
two miles above the surface Of the
earth. The kite adopted for the pur-
pose is of cellular construction without
the old-fashioned tail and has remark
able power for lifting. It is intended to
carry up to this great altitude various
observation instruments, barometers,
thermometers, hygrometers and other
like instruments which will automat-
ically record the conditions of the at
mosphere above. Prof Moore feels
that the weather service has now
reached satisfactory state so far as
concerns predictions of winds, their vio-
lences and temperatures. but the
weak spot that remains is in the
prediction Of rainfalls According to
his theory, a vast Improvement in ac-
curacy in this respect can be obtained
by full knowledge Of what is going
on in the air far above the earth, and
this he expects to ascertain by means
of his kites.

WAR TALK IN FLORIDA,
Rumors That State Troops Are to
Be Called Ont


ST. LOUIS, Mo, Jan. ia Republic
special from Tallahassee, Florida, saws:
Sensational stories are afloat here to-
night. Gov. Mitchell, at the request of
the war department in WASHINGTON.
has ordered Adjutant General Houston
to see that the Florida militia be placed
in readiness to take the field at a
moments notice. The governor it is
reported, will call the militia out to-
morrow. In the meantime, the adiu-
tant general is quietly issuing orders.
Similar requests, it is reported have
been sent to the governors of other
Southern states.
The story has become generally
known and is causing great excitement
throughout the South. Gov. Mitchell
and Adjt. Gen. Houston were asked
regarding it, but they refused to talk.
Gen. Houston has been in his office all
day, and has sent kilograms to all
battalion commanders in the state.
Maj Turner, of Jacksonville, command
ing the first Florida battalion, has re-
ceived several messages from the ad-
jutant general. The battalion com
manders at Pensacola and Tampa
have also received messages from
Gen. Houston during the day.
1t is stated as coming from the eX-
ecutive Office that the Washington au-
thorities have reason to believe that
deal is pending between Spain and
Great Britain for the sale of Cuba to
the latter, and that the United States
is preparing to resist the transfer of
the island. and that the flying squadron
is coming to American waters to be
ready for the war with the United
States that will inevitably follow the
attempted cession of Cuba.
Dispatches from various cities in
Florida report that troops are gath
ering. and that the war fever is higher
now than the day after President Cleve-
lands Venezuelan message.
