THE NEW YEAR.

o bright new year with Joyous mien,
With heart unknown TO piercing woe.
Scatter abroad the gold of peace.
And bid the waves of pleasure flow
With rhythmic sound and trem bling sheer
Through the channels of each SOUL
Command wars laundering voice to cease
Bid strong armed plenty freely dole
Comforts to man. Make Sol increase
The useful products of the green.
Hush discord's voice that bringest forth
From fierce Pandora's box the ills
Unnumbered that with lightning speed
Deep rack the bosom of the earth.
Depopulate it habitable hills,
Poison its soothing streams and rills,
And to a desert change the mead.
Strike, too, the heart, deep down within.
O'erwhelm it with disgust for sin.
Cause charity and loye to reign
Triumphant Ger each hill and plain.
Crush Mammon's head. To God alone
Let alteration true be shown.
Then loudly do we shout to thee.
Welcome. welcomed

Moves for AcqnitaI Instructions.
WASHINGTON, May 26. - The trial of
Henry O. Havemeyer, the president of the
American Sugar-refining Company, indlct-
ed for refusing to answer questions pro-
pounded by the Senate sugar investigation
committee in June, 1894, was resumed this
morning The attendance was almost as
large as on yesterday. District Attorney
Davis reoffered in evidence the extract of
the Senate journal showing the recreancy
of Mr.. HaVemeyer to which the defense
objected, unless the journals showing the
whole action of the Senate on the case be
admitted. Judge Bradley agreed to admit
all relevant extracts from the Senate Jour-
nails and thereupon Mr.. Johnson withdrew
his objection. Accordingly the extracts
showing the three reports of the commit
tee to the Senate and detailing of the fact
of Mr.. Havemeyer's contumacy were ad-
mitted. Mr.. Johnson objected TO the ad-
mission of the printed reports of the COM
mittee as evidence, and a long legal debate
followed on this point. The government
strenuously insisted that 1t was admissible
as an official Senate report: The court
said that if the contention of the govern
ment were correct, then the whole record
evidence, and much time of the court
had been wasted. He convulsed the court
room by his sarcastic reference to the
"sanctity' with which the district attor-
ney had clothed the proceedings of the Sen
ate. In the apostolic days. he said, clothes
taken from the bodies of the apostles were
supposed to have healing virtues, and even
the rags that subsequently came in con-
tact with them. Those days" said the
judge while Senator Gray laughed out

objection

BUFFALO. N. Y, May Pa remarka-
BILE operation, performed in this city, which
has attracted attention all over the United
States, has been pronounced a success
after Roentgen ray examination. F. H
Moir, foreman in the carbide works at Nj
agara Falls, had the tibia of his left leg
badly crushed Jan. 10. He was brought to
a Buffalo hospital Feb. II. DR.. Dewitt c..
Wilcox inserted in Moir's leg a five-inch
length of a live sleeps bone, replacing the
crushed human bone in length but not in
width. The leg was placed in a plaster
cast; Last night the leg was examined by
the Y ray. The sleeps bone shows vitality
at each end. The human bone has deveI-
oped the sleeps bone and the new growth
is extending towards the center. Already
the Sleeps bone is half an inch wider than
when it was put in. Complete knitting and
growing together of the bones are assured.
In month or six weeks it is expected that
Mr.. Moir will be able to walk.

WEATHER FORECASTS.
Important Results of Chief MOOre's
Experiments with Kites.

Important Results of Chief MOOre's
Experiments with Kites.
WASHINGTON, May 26-The most sig
nificant development in weather forecasting
for years, making it possible to forecast for
a period at least sixteen hours longer than
at present and more accurately, has been
attained by the Weather Bureau and soon
will bear practical fruit. This is the result
of experiments with kites flown at dis
tanceS of one to two miles above the sur
face of the earth, which have been quietly
conducted in this city for some weeks.
Daily readings have been taken at this
altitude. and the fact has been established
that shifting of the wind occurs at a mile
level above the earth's surface from twelve
to sixteen hours before the same change of
direction occurs on the surface This is
due to the same forces which operate to
cause wind shifts to produce a storm, one
condition being dependent on the other.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has
taken great interest in the experiments
which were made by Chief Moore, of the
Weather Bureau, and his consultations
with Professor Moore have resulted in the
formulation of a policy which will make
weather predictions more valuable in the
future. The most imperfect part of wealth
er forecasts now is the prediction as to
rain snow. Meteorologists for the past
ten years have been impressed With the
fact that future data as to storms must
come from a knowledge of upper air condi-
tions. The aeroplane investigations as an
nounced to-day have reached that point
where it can be safely stated that within
six months the government Weather
Bureau for the first time in the history of
any meteorological service can construct
telegraphic synchronc chart based on con-
ditions one mile above the earth. This
chart will cover the conditions between the
Alleghenies and the Rockies at the outset:
Chief Moore SAYS this step probably will
mark a new epoch in the weather fore,
casting problem. With these high level
readings the bureau will have the moisture
contents of the upper strata as we'll as the
lower. 1t will be seen how important this
double information is when 1T is considered
that the two strata of air may, by shifting
of the wind become mixed within twenty
four hours and that the precipitation Will
depend upon the average moisture OF the
