A Weather Forecast

The APPEAL never went much on the
weather forecasts and it always
seemed a waste Of time to print them.
Here is one Of Foslt and if anyone
thinks he wants to bet on the
weather after reajing it, he can do so.
Hear this:
n very considerable drop in tenn
perature will occur during the last
week in March, but L cannot now de-
termine whether it will develop its
greatest fall after this or the preced-
ing storm wave. Therefore its is best
to be prepared for both periods.
A very warm period will occur be-
tween the Goth and 9th and this may
extend to the 3lst, but probably will
not.
Then following this warm period,
probably not far from the Goth, pos
sibly not until April 4th, a cool wave
will spread over the country, causing
frosts III Northern States that may do
some damage.
Thus the prophet predicts a drop in
temperature in n paragraph and a
warm period IN another II the
editor who prints such trash would
stop five minutes to read it, the stuff
would go into the waste basket where
it belongs.

CARL SMITH AT TAHOE.
He Learns Of the insides of the
New Steamer.

The following is an extract from
of Carl Smiths interesting letter to
the Chicago Record, telling o; his
visit to Glenbrook and what he
thought of the new steamer:
The big steamer, treetled ~ in the
air like "a vessel on stills, was really
an MISUNDERSTANDING craft, and we
learned with interest-from every
human being at b lake-that she
had been hauled piece by piece cross
the mountains and pct together there
on the lake shore. 1t was all very
Interesting, but, told once, we were
satisfied, and twice was too frequent a
recital, and by the time the sixteenth
person had detailed the circumstances
the whole story began to be tedious
and annoying. We felt, though, that
to the engineer We owed a duty, w
so h next morning We went up TO
his hillside machine-ahop and asked
with stimulated eagerness to see his
blue prints. Langdoh, [ think, had
ar idea that a blue print was a kind
Of cloth much affected by dressy
women, but he rallied q great atten-
ton when the engineer produced from
a drawer in his table two or three
dozen great maps of the engineering
work on the big boat. He looked
earnestly at the first drawing and
murmured: Yes, that's the engine
room, and the boiIer-room, and the
cabin" and so Oh, for these apart
ments were marked on the print, and
it required no guess to place them.
Then the engineer began to recite the
virtues If especial improvements and
methods Of structure, and technical
terms rolled from his tongue like
mama dropping from the heavens.
He grew interested in his explanation,
and, showing plan after plan. all Of
which were to u uDaccustomed eyes
as Ineligible as the hieroglyphics Of
Yucatan, he bade US note the great
advantages the oscillating eccentric
had owe the couuterhalance shaftiDg
gear, CT something like that. He
was mathematical, and to prove his
reckoning pulled up a pad Of paper
and figured out cube roots Of steam
expansion of parallel iues, aided by
lateral motion spark arresters. The
value of the kinetogram device for the
storage Of power in tubular abestos
cells wrapped with gutta percha
trapezoids was demonstrated by him,
and as we sat in a sort Of hypnotic
state, forgetful Of all the world, be-
sides the horrible nightmare of mis-
outrageous blue prints, we heard a
whistle from far out on the lake, and,
looking around, we saw that the little
steamer was half a mile away, and
that We had lost the trip. DOT only for
that day, but for all time, for we must
leave the next morning.
We made 10 dole. The engineer
had been so earnes in his effort to
entertain us that we had not ths heart
to mention the disappointment, and
indeed, the courageous Langdon
asked him if he hadn't some more
plans he could show US. But forum.
ately he had none.
