The Storm Belt.

place of storms in this country is
"as we'll defined as the wheat belt,
corn region or orange belt;" that
the barren, rocky SUBMITS of the
Selkirk mountains of British Co.
lumbia are the favorite Fairgrounds
of little storms just born, that leap
from glacier to glacier gathering
strength. They cross Canada, Mon
tana and the Dakotas, growing into
mighty tempests as they advance.
These are our cold waves. The
warm winds of the Japan current
blow upon the north Pacific coast,
making mild climate in western
Oregon and Washington. AS these
warm winds are forced up the slopes
of the Cascade range and across the
selkirk mountains, :Aey meet the
icy air of these heights. The warm
air, being lighter, rushes upward.
A vacuum is formed toward which
rushes the cold air from the snow
fields and glaciers.

Striking a Fish.

The secret of striking a fish, espe-
cially a trout which bites quickly,
whether in brook, river or lake, is
to give sharp upturn of the wrist.
This will move the rod or bait only
two or three inches and will not
jerk it from the water. If you miss,
the fish win follow the few inches,
not being frightened, and in the
majority of cases will be hooked at
once. The quick jerking of the bait
from the water almost invariably
scares trout-result, a dark streak
disappearing down the stream

Bank Robberies.

After adopting what are supposed
30 be all of the latest improvements
IN safety appliances, employing
szatchmen. guards and a full corps
OF officials and subordinates, pre-
ssumably with the idea of safety,
bank rObberies seem to continue
Just the same as before, and the
criminals escape with the utmost
ease. and all efforts to capture them
seem unavailable.
Bank and other robberies are not
committed unless the perpetrators
thereof have reason to suppose that
there is lack of vigilance on the
part of those in charge of the bust
ness 1t is an interesting fact that
some of the banks have been robbed
while the officers were in session in
president room, which is usually
a private apartment shut off from
the main counting room by thick
partitions or Heavy draperies, or
both. The private and confidential
business OF great house is not to
be overheard, and therefore this
El1ut off condition of the apartments
occupied by the officials. All i'm
prOvement on this plan would be to
arrange gallery overlooking the
counting room, and in this station
a force of clerks, certain number
of whom were to be on duty during
business hours. Each one should be
connected with an alarm and with
oazter doors that would close at a
touch and fasten automatically.
1t would seem to outsiders that
few simple precautions might pre-
yent these robberies. Of course it is
the habit of feeling secure that
cazses carelessness. Everything has
been all right, and too much is tax
.'e1 for granted. After a robbery ev-
erybody is for awhile on the alert,
but at this time there is really very
little danger of attack 1t is after
the s1ciIe-lent has died out that the
danger begins. New York Ledger.

A WHITE RED SQUIRREL.
A Queer Little Pet Belonging to Some
New Jersey Girls.

A Queer Little Pet Belonging to Some
! New Jersey Girls.
DR.. Emily G. Hunt, in ST. Mich
olas, describes the following inter-
esting pet:
Some girl cousins of mine living
in New Jersey have an odd pet. It
is white red squirrel
You have all seen red squirrels
"chickarees' they call them, from
the sounds of their chattering and
scolding as they drop nutshells on
your head or run down a tree trunk
by fits and starts, giving a little
"Chick" with each forward rush,
while they watch you sharply.
Our little pet is like one of these
in every way, except that he is so
snowy white that the cleanest ia
blecloth looks dingy compared to
him,
He was born in cranberry bog.
Some men cutting brush there saw
two strange little animals, one
white, the other cream colored.
They caught this white one by
throwing coat over him, but the
creamy squirrel ran away
When the captive was brought
home, all admired him greatly, for
he was, as you may imagine, a very
beautiful little creature, with his
long, bushy tail and bright wood
land tricks.
But there is really one strange
thing about him-his eyes are not
red Or pink, as are those of most
white animals, but they are as black
as any squirrels could be. So my
girl cousins call him Beads.
When an animal belonging to
species commonly dark in color is
born white instead, it is called an
albino. You have all seen albino
rabbits and rats and mice. Their
eyes are pink. So that Beads is real
ly a most uncommon fellow-a
snowy squirrel with jet black eyes.
Albino or not, he is at any rate a
most winning little pet, and there
is no end to his pretty ways. AS
cat and kitten live with the same
family, he has to be kept in squir-
rel cage, but he is let out long
time each day. Then Beads is quite
happy. He climbs up the back of
the chair and nibbles the hair of the
person seated in it, gnaws the flow
ers on the window sill, rushes up the
stems of the callas and scratches in
the earth until it flies on all sides.
He will rub his head and face and
all his body in the earth until his
clean, white dress is a sight to be-
hold. After that he hops to the floor
and rubs his face carefully upon the
carpet.
He loves to retire to corner or
under a piece of furniture for his
toilet, going in gray and coming out
white. If you peep and watch him,
it is great fun, fo1 he scrubs and
combs himself with his paws in the
neatest way, washes his face just as
a cat does and then takes his big
tail In his paws and uses it for
towel. One often hears people won-
der why squirrels have such big
tails. All know that they are useful
as balancing poles and blankets and
are charming as ornaments, but
not many are in Beads secret of
their usefulness as towels.

Zoo Love-Charms.

Belief in the efficacy of fetishes is
still prevalent among certain class of
colofed people, and probably no one
has the superstition brought SO forci-
bly, to his attention as Head Keeper
Manley of the Zoo. Constant applica-
tions are made to him for materials for
love charms by both sexes. Most often
the request is for little piece of snake
skin, which, when powdered by a
witch doctor and put in a locket, to be
suspended from the possessor's neck,
is considered to be sure winner of
affections.
To supply the demand, number Of
skins taken from the reptiles that die
in captivity are always kept on hand,
The soft breast feathers from the AZ
rican gray parrots are saved for other
wooers, who prize them just as highly.
Keeper Manley is called upon to sup
ply fetishes to insure success in combat
as well as in love. Several negro prize
fighters, well known in the local ring,
carry little bunch of hair clipped from
the tuft on the end of the old lions
tail. These bristles are thought to give
the .wearer unbounded courage and
strength.-Exchange
