The Wettest Hours of the Day,

HOUR.
DIR. r. II. Scott. who was until recently
the chief of our meteorological office has
made detailed examination Of the records
of the fall of rain In each of the twenty
four hours OF the day, in order to find out
which are the driest and which the wettest
hours. The results show that in the west
the heaviest rains occur in the early morn
ing hours. and the least rain in the early
afternoon. In the east. and also at inland
places, the heaviest rains occur in the af ter
noon. The records as a whole show that
everywhere in our islands the hours from
about 10 o'clock in the morning to noon are
drier than the rest of the day.

The veil above her white brow throws
A shade, as leaves upon a rose,
Half its rich creamy width to hide
Then falls the sculptured check beside.
In the gray eyes 'twixt lasles jet,
A strange, a sword like look is set;
So full of thought cannot be glad.
So heavenly-potsed cannot be sadl
Only above those wondrous eyes
The petalled roses texture lies,
For all the face beside the veil
Is lily-lke. transparent, pale:
The features skirt IT'S sheltering hem.
Set like dropped lilies down a stem.
Fair, crescent ripples in her cheeks
Swift CLEANS of opal when She speaks
Such may he seen by spirit eye.
But they must live there hiddenly.
Oh. to how rare. unequal curve,
Delight would make those straight lips swerve;
Yet they lie, virgin of all sign
Pure a silver rivers line.

From the Atlanta Constitution.

From the Atlanta Constitution
There's a little band Of singers
Every evening comes and fingers
Meath the window Of my cottage in the trees7
While the gathering night rejoices
And the leaves Join in the chorus with the breeze
Then the twinkling stars come out
To enjoy the merry rout,
And the squirrels range themselves upon a logt
And the hrefies furnish light,
That they read their notes Alright
The katydid, the cricket and the frog.
All the night hear them singing;
Through my head their tunes arc ringing
Strains Of music straight from Mother Natures
heart;
Now the katydid and cricket,
q roT 1ht the deep Of ySnd De- tn,Sset
By and by the moon appears
As the midnight hour nears,
And her smiles dispel the ring mist and fog;
Then the mirth Is at Its height,
And they glorify the night
The katydid, the cricket and the frog.

The Boy With the Spade.
From the Chicago Tribune.

No weight II ages bows him down.
That barefoot boy with fingers brown
There's nothing empty in his face;
No burdens Of the human race
Are on his back, nor is he dead
To JOY or sorrow, hope or dread
Fur he can gricye, and he can hope,
Gam shrink with all his soul from soap.
No brother to the OF Is he
He's second cousin to the bee.
He looseDs and lets down his jaw
And brings II up-his gum to ''chaw"
There's naught but sweat upon his brow.
It's slanted somewhat forward now.
His eyes are bright with eager light,
He's working with an appetite.
All. no. That boy is not afraid
10 WELD with all his strength his spade!
Nor has he any spite at fnte-
He's digging anglewurms for bait.

learned Hasey was coming he went out
and ran toward the marshal. The
latter fired four shots without effect.
Robinson clinched with the marshal and
took his revolver from him and threw it
into the bay. Then seizing an oar from
a nearby boat he beat the marshal with
it, breaking his arm in two places and
badly cutting his face.
Hasey started back to Ketchikan nurs-

wasin session today until nearly O'Clock.
At its close the members were more reti-
ever, that this government has so far re-
ceived no official or well authenticated
information that the Russian government
has declared war on China or that it is
her purpose to do so.
The subject of an extra session of con-
gress was not mentioned at the meeting
1t can be stated on good authority of a
member of the cabinet that under present
conditions an extra session of congress is
altogether improbable.

PLANS OF THE NEW
 FRENCH FIELD GUN
Carefully Guarded Secret Turns
 Up in United States
THE OFFICIALS SURPRISED
It Was on Charge of Like Character That Captain Dreytus Was Con- victed-May Cause Trou-
 ble With France

New York, November 12.-A special dis patch from Washington to the Herald says that it was a decided surprise to the rep resentatives of the foreign governments at the capital and to the United States that agent of the War Department, pub lshed, has obtained such exact and delib- crate knowledge of the plans for the new French field gun as to enable him to con- struct such a gun for the United States.
 French field artillery is admittedly in ad vance of that of any other government in the world. There have been important features about the guns and their car- riages that have been for several years kept secret from the other powers
 It was on a charge of having revealed to Germany some of the features of an earlier type of this gun that Captain Drey- fus was sentenced to imprisonment on Devils Island. It was equally surprising that the War Department permitted this information to become public, but no one was more surprised at the publication than were the high officials of that department.
 What course the French government will adopt in the matter no one at Washington knows. No fault can be found with the government for accepting the information that has been offered. The several civiliz- ed governments maintain military and na- val attaches at the capitals of other pow CTS for the express purpose of learning all that is possible about the armaments of the county to which they are accredited.
 It is possible that France will never make an yinquiry of this government in the matter. M. Thibeaut, the charge d'affaires of the French embassy, it is understood, is disposed to doubt whether much infor- nation of value has been obtained. He has not yet heard from his government in any way in regard to the matter.
 Lieutenant General Miles, who is pres1- dent of the Board of Ordnance and Fortih. cations, is inclined to make light or the publication. Inventors of all countries, he said last night, "are continually work ing in the science of artillery and explos- ives incorporating the result of their re- searches in Improvements presented to their government for trial and adoption It Is not strange that the concentration Of d1f- ferent minds on the subject should pro- duce the same result.
 It is understood that First Lieutenant Mott. Seventh Artillery, military attaehe in Paris. had no connection whatever With inc matter It is intimated that the lndl- vidual who disclosed the information to General Miles is now in Washington pul bv the very nature of things his ldehti'y must be kept secret.
