westward, bringing with 1t the waves
of the Gulf of Mexico, till it struck
Galveston, then made the curve which
is shown on the map, and struck the
Great Lakes. The damage to the
crops In the various states which 1t
crossed was great. On Sept. IL the
remnants of the storm were rushing
up the St. Lawrence valley. Had 1t
not been for the establishment of the
stations in the Lesser Antilles, which
were put in operation after the Span
ish-American war, the weather bureau
could not have foreseen so far the
progress of the storm. The establish
ment of the West Indian stations is
approved by all the people in the
United States. The establishment OF
those stations has shown their value
when it is taken into consideration
that the millions Of dollars damage
done in Galveston might have been
so much greater had not the forewarn-
ing OF the department or agriculture
made many ships get into harbor.
There is no port in the United States

the storm was most erratic. Usually
a storm will follow the course Of the
gulf stream, and when 1t strikes the
Florida straits 1t will go forth across
the broad Atlantic and waste its en-
ergy upon the shores Of Europe.
This storm. which started south of
San Domingo, violated the rules and
regulations of most storms which lave
had their origin in the gulf or the
Caribbean. Instead Of going east, as
it should have done, and as every we'll
regulated storm has done, it kicked up

One of the curses of American agri-
culture, says Hoard's Dairyman, is
the disposition of our farmers to do
superficial work. They build superb
cial barns, cultivate the soil. in a SUI
perficial way, build superficial fences,
breed for superficial live stock, and the
end and aim seems to be to skim over
everything and get rid of it for the
present None regret this more than
do many of the farmers who yearly
practice it.
The poet Lowell said it was zone of
the weaknesses of democracy to be sat
isfied with the second best if it ap-
pears to answer the purpose tolerably
well, and to be cheaper, as it never is
in the long run"
This bad fault comes largely from
attempting to farm more land than can
be farmed well, to keep more cattle
than can be kept well. One farmer ex-
pressed it we'll when he said he "al-
ways liked to do small business on
a large SCALE"
Some day we Will begin to see how
uneconomical it is to "cut and cover
when we are blowing; how really ex-
pensive it is in hired help to force a
man to run over two acres to get the
product of one acre. When we meas
ure the value Of mans labor by the
bushels of grain produced and not by
the acres he has titled, by the amount
of milk he gets and not by the number
of cows he milks, we will have the true
key to successful employment and
management of labor; for it is labor
not land, that constitutes the great ex-
pense Of farming. Some of the Eng
fish farmers pay rental of twenty
dollars per acre and go to double the
expense per acre that we do, and then
make double the profit out Of the in
vestment that we do.

through the Straits Of Florida, and
having done that it inundated the city
of Galveston, where 1t met the ordin-
airy conditions Of weather and was de-
flected up to Milwaukee. The storm
now is probably sweeping off. some
where in the vicinity of the north pole.
Many tidal waves have fallen upon
the western coast of America, both
south and north. These so-called
tidal waves are not really tidal waves,
but are caused either by seismic dis
turbances or by great storms. A gen.
eral progress Of waves Of this kind
is eastward. Tidal waves are as fixed
and as eternal as the gulf stream.
Those great rivers of the ocean flow
from time to time and no one shall
know their bounds, but these disturb
ances of the ocean such as over
whelmed Galveston are matters which
the weather bureau of the United
States alone can take care Of.
There has not been disaster OF
analogous nature to that of Calves
ton except that of the sea islands Of
the Carolinas and Georgia since St..
Thomas was almost destroyed. The
harbor of Charlotte Aemlia, the crater
of an extinct volcano, was swept by
a so-called tidal wave, which took
every ship in the harbor and landed
them either against the mountain
sides or the crevices Of the foothills.
That wave was due, it was supposed,
to an earthquake, but it must have
been a submarine earthquake, for the
land of the island was not shaken. An
other remarkable so-called tidal wave
was that which took the store
ship Wateree about three miles inland
from africa and landed her between
two small hills. which made 1t i'm
possible for the United States to get
to it without expanding more money
than the ship was worth. There have
not been such disasters due to cumu-
lative waves as that which took place
in Galveston since africa and st.
Thomas were overwhelmed.

Indications several times in the
course of the past summer have shown
that something was going to happen
in the way of storms in the lesser An
titles. On Sept. / the meteorological
disturbance assumed a definite shape
and definite progression was begun.
The United States weather bureau
would not have been able to have pre-
dicted the coming of the storm had 1t
not been for the West Indian stations.
Two days after the storm center had
been located definitely by the West In
dian stations the progress of that gath
ering force which did such havoc in
Galveston had been decided compare
lively. Warnings were sent out for
the northern coast and for the south
ern coast. Two days previous to the
location OF the storm center In the
Caribbean Sea south of San Domingo
the abnormal falling pressure and the
abnormal cirrus clouds had given slight
premonition of the approaching dis
turbances.
On Sept. l the storm gathered in
latitude Is south, longitude 70 west. 1t
moved slowly to the northwest. 1t

tho trade winds and tidal currents. On
the morning of Sept. it was appar-

tude 20 north, longitude 81 west The
pressure then began to fall, and heavy
tropical rains began in the West In
dies. On that same day the direc-
ton Of the storm changed to a more
northerly course.
By Sept. 5 it had passed over west
ern Cuba and 1t tackled the Florida
straits. High winds were then prev
alent over western Cuba and south
Florida. The storm center remained

Phosphorescent Sea Monster.

In the aquarium Of the Calcutta ZOO
logical society is a monster crab, re-
Gently captured in the Indian ocean,
that is attracting the attention of the
scientists. The huge crustacean was
caught q mile from shore. It's body is
nearly two feet in diameter and its
claws are more than yard long. 1t
has enormous eyes that protrude In
such way as to give it very fero-
cious appearance. The habits of the
creature justify its looks, for on being
placed in a large vessel filled with sea
water and which contained fifty crus-
taceans and other fishes it devoured
the living contents in about two
hours. The most remarkable thing
about the giant crab, however is that
at night it emits phosphorescent
sparks of milky whiteness which make
bright the entire vessel.

4 Simple Device by Which This Nsy
BE Accompanied,

Here is a discovery: A thin. black
India silk handkerchief tied over the
eyes is the best remedy for the annoy
ance of the early morning glare to
which in their bedrooms most persons
are now subjected This is an army
trick, commonly practiced on the
plains and in camp by those desiring
to sleep after dawn, but never before
divulged to the effete easterner. Some
officers scorn this expedient, others like
1t, and the army woman resorts to it
always. 1t often happens, however,
that she does not possess black silk
handkerchief. in which case she pins
black stocking over her eyes instead.
And frequently her husband is not
above begging the other stocking.
This solves the problem of shutting out
the light in a most simple and effectual
way. But the army woman says there
Is no reason why every woman living
in proximity to shops should not have
a black India silk handkerchief.
Blinds and awnings. in addition to
window shades. are all very we'll to
darken room if they are on house.
but frequently they are not, more par
ticularly In the country, where they
are most needed. Then. even in the
event of having these luxuries in hot
weather many persons object to using
them because of the amount of air
these things shut out from room.
Every one knows in the migration from
town to country how annoying the
early morning light is to the city-bred,
particularly the women who do not
have to rise at the first crow of the
cock in order to catch train to busi-
ness. Those people who are summer
ing in hotels and clearinghouse COM
monty occupy rooms with whitewashed
or very light papered walls, and this
reflects the strong light, which by
o'clock these summer mornings begins
to turn the sleeper into wakeful,
restless creature, who. If he or she
have blinds, gets up and closes them
but is forced for lack of air to at least
leave the shutters open, whereby too
much light enters. And frequently
there is so little air that to bar out
any of it, even by drawn blinds with
open shutters, is out of the question.

Village Wars on Plumbers.

War was recently declared between
the village authorities of Morgan
Park, ILL.,, and two plumbers, C. B.
Foster and w. w. Gliding. Accord
ing to one of the ordinances of the
village plumbers are compelled to pay
a license fee of $50 year. Several
warnings had been given Foster and
Gliddings to procure the necessary
permits, but they had resolutely re-
fused to obtain them. A summons
was issued for their appearance before
Justice Goe and the case was heard
later. The plumbers made fight
against the license, which they assert
ed was exorbitant and unjust. They
alleged that plumbers from Chicago
went to the village and worked with
out license and consequently the viii
lage had no right to tax resident work.

Castle of UlYsaes.

In Ithaca there are ruins which are
generally known as the castle OF
Ulysses. Although cyclopean walls
with gate openings are found, and the
site, which at 400 feet above the sea,
was adapted for the residence of pi-
rate chief, many archaeologists have
been doubtful whether the identified
ton of the place should continue to
be accepted. DR.. Dorpfeld has been
provided with funds to undertake
more thorough exploration of the
ruins that has hitherto been attempt
ed. Several years ago he examined
the island Of Ithaca and fixed on site
in another part of 1t. He has since
come to the conclusion that the resi-
dence of Ulysses is not to be found
there, but in the island of Leucadia or
Santa Mora and near the town of Leu
cas-, which some have identified as the
Homeric Nericus. Deucadia, it will
be remembered, has poetic associations
for from one of the cliffs Sapho COM
mitted suicide. She was passionately
in love with beautiful youth named
Phaon, and as she failed to obtain
return of affection she is said to have
thrown herself from the promontory
under the belief that those who took
that leap would be cured of their love,
il not destroyed. ~

whether they desire "the dismissal

More Women than Men.

The one great reason why so many
women today are clamoring for what
they call their rights and are compel!
lag with men in the business world Is
because in every civilized country the
number of manageable women ex-
ceeds that of manageable men.
These are the conclusions at which
one is bound to arrive after reading
remarkable work which has just been
published by a distinguished professor
of anatomy and a well known writer
on scientific subjects The natural
consequence, says this scientist, is that
women are not priced as much as they
should be. In this case the usual law
of supply and demand rules, and the
reason why so many women To-Day
have to fight hard for their very exist
ence is because the supply of women Is
far greater than the demand for them.
In an ideal monogamic society there
would be one woman for every man,
and it is a society like this that the
author would have us create. In mod
,ern society, on the contrary, there Is
more than one woman to every man,
and the result is that many women
can not get husbands. The precise
manner in which such an improvement
would benefit women he also clearly
shows. Their chances of getting hus-
bands would naturally increase as the
number of young men Increased,
though this good fortune would in one
way prove detriment to their sex,
since as wives and mothers they would
not have entirely as good chance for
long life as they would have had by
remaining single, and thus the rate OF
mortality among women would tend
to increase. From another point Of
view this very tendency would prove
beneficial to the race. since it would
aid toward equalizing the number OF
men and women.
In the blissful future. If this theory
be correct. women will not have to
work for their living, since with few
exceptions, all women will become
happy wives and mothers, and their
time will be fully occupied in attend
ing to their domestic duties. In those
days the judges of divorce courts will
have little to do since mercenary mar
riages will be questionable, and men
and women will wed only because they
they love each other with an abiding
love. The poorest girls will be able to
find suitable husbands, and very glad
the men will be to get them as wives.
In the business world women will no
longer compete with men. and in fine
the world will be regenerated when
there is once more one man to one
woman, and not until then can it be
regenerated. Such, at least, is the
opinion of the author, and in view of
the close attention which he has given
to this subject his opinion is decidedly
worthy of respect

Fishers at Chicago.

Sporting goods men in Chicago say
that every Sunday not less than 10000
people leave the city to fish. Among all
the summer sports none is really SO
popular as angling This is shown by
the large and constant sale of tackle.
The department stores sell huge guam
titles of it every Saturday morning.
They also sell live bait. minnows and
frogs in wholesale lots. Some of the
purchasers go no farther than the lake
front, but most Of them seek the lakes
and streams within an hours ride on
the trolley or steam cars.
