Cloud Turrets and Thunderstorm.

A scientific explanation of the con-
nection between imposing masses of
cumulus clouds, piled up in aspiring
white turrets, which are popularity
called thunder heads" and the ap-
proach of a thunder storm is offered in
a recent report on cloud studies at the
Blue Hill observatory. 1t appears
that the form of cloud called turreted
cumulus is most common when there
is a rapid vertical decrease of tenn
perature in the upper air, combined
with heating at the ground, which ia
vors the ascent of columns of air to
great heights, and this is, at the same
time, condition favorable to thunder
storms.

HORSE TIE FOR STABLES.

Horsemen will appreciate the device
pictured in the accompanying cut. the
object of the invention being to reduce
to minimum the liability of getting
the animals feet tangled up in the
lettering rope. and also to keep the
rope out of the way while the animal
is eating. By means of specially
constructed halter the connection is
made on the upper instead of the un-
der side of the nose strap, and the
tie extends to a point level or above
the animals head. The invention also

Lesson In seamnnship.

Captain Hans Miron, who lost his
life at his post of duty on the burning
Saale at Hoboken, was fond of telling
of his early introduction to the stern
realities of his chosen career. He had
but just come on board the schooner
where as cabin boy he was to serve his
apprenticeship to the sea and was still
staring about him with bOyiSh interest
and inquisitiveness when the skipper
approached and ordered him to assist
in washing down the deck.
He put down his bundle and started
awkwardly TO do so, when n second
order. accompanied by emphatic eX-
plctiVcs. was given him to take off his
shoes and stockings. He was perfectly
willing to Oblige. but at home he had
not Ueen permitted to wet his feet.
NO" he answered innOcently, with an
engaging smile, Il should not mind,
but my mother does not allow it."
The skipper was Il rough old sea dog
who did not appreciate obedience I'M
less it was rendered to himself. and his
reply was Il stunning blow that flung
the boy across the deck. But after
that" Captain Miron would say, with n
great laugh and not n shadow of re-
sentiment. II knew who was captain of
that schooner, and it was not my
mother"

Four Kings md n Joker.

At the time of Colonel Cody's advent
into the capital of Germany the old
Emperor William was entertaining
there three kings of smaller Germanic
powers. The royal gentlemen were
very much interested in the Buffalo
Bill exhibitions, and Colonel Cody was
the recipient of many favoTS from the
emperor himself. one feature OF the
performance was the exhibition of the
antiqUatCd DeadwOod coach containing
passengers who are attacked by In
dams and finally rescued by cowboys.
The kaiser asked to he allowed to
ride in this vehicle with his royal
guests and 10 participate i'll this inter
cstinG experience. The request was of
course granted, and when the coach
was furiOusly aSsailed by bowling In
dams it's inmates were as usual saved
10y gallant cowboys.
After it was over and as the royal
party were descending from the coach
the emperor remarked:
Colonel Cody. do not suppose this
is the first time that you have ever held
four kings"
NO, your majesty" returned the
quick witted scout, but this is the first
time l ever held four kings and royal
joker at the same time"'-San Francis

CHANGES AT COLLEGE:
TO BROADEN STUDIES

Important changes in the curricu-
lum of Augustana college are under
consideration by the faculty and will
be presented to the mem bers of the
board of directors for action at their
next meeting. Should they be adopt
ed they would not be put into effect
until the beginning of the new school
year next fall. The changes are in
tended to broaden the institution and
widen the scope of its instruction,
bringing it to the fore front of insti-
buttons of its kind.
There is rumor in this connection
that a separate building is to be pro-
vided for the seminary. Under the
present arrangement the college and
seminary are in one building. A
mem Der of the board of directors of
the college yesterday said he had
heard nothing of such change. The
subject was not mentioned at the
recent meeting of the board and for
that reason he was inclined to believe
there was nothing to the report.

Fresh Water Springs In Midocean.

Several fresh water fountains are
known to exist in the gulf of Mexico,
where vessels have frequently filed
their casks with ice cold sweet water
that comes up like n geyser in the
midst of the salt water. The fresh
water springs, as the sailors call them,
have been known in the gulf for 200
or 800 years. They were discovered by
early voyagers ana were the salvation
of many n mariner whose supply Of
fresh water ran short while he was
becalmed in the doldrums. Some of
the fresh water springs are marked
upon the charts, but there is so little
need of them nowadays by the steam
ers on the gulf and the sailing fleet is
SO small that no attention is paid to
them, and they have passed out of the
knowledge of the younger skipper

Refinery at Yokohama or

When the British ship Hudson
leaves Philadelphia for Japan within
few days she will carry the first
Oll-refning plant shipped to that
country The cargo will also include
tanks and the necessary apparatus
tor the discharge of the oil into yes
sells and cars. The refinery will be
located at either Kobe or Yokohama.
: Oil has been discovered in Japan
in, large quantities by American
prospectors, who obtained control Of
the best territory long before their
German and Russian competitors
knew of its eGlstenee. The work Of
operating the refinery and develop.
ing the newly discovered fields will
be under the direction of skilled
Americans, their subordinates being
Japanese. The development of oil
in Japan is likely to restrict the
demand from the United States,
which amounts to many millions Of
gallons every year. Eleven large
sailing vessels are now under charter
to load in Philadelphia for Hiogo.

Projected Antarctic
Expedition.

Mr.. William 8. Bruce has furnish.
ed some interesting particulars of
the Scottish Antarctic expedition
which he is to command, It will
work to the south of the Horn, in
the Weduell Sea, setting up its
wintering station on the east coast
of Graham's Land. The vessel will
be one OF the ordinary Norwegian or
Scottish type of whalers of about
800 tons, 130 feet long, and steam
ing seven to eight knots. A ship of
this size will have ample accommo-
dation for thirty-seyen all told. The
proposed staff includes six scientists
and five ships officers, and a crew
ot,twenty-six. The first call will
be made at Port Stanley, in the
Falkland Islands, which will form
the base for operations in the An
tarctic regions. Mr.. BrUce's explor
ing party in Graham's Land will
consist of five scientists and two
skilled workmen. Systematic obs
ergations will be taken and collec.
ti0ns made. The ice, both ON land
and sea, will be studied--its physi-
cal state, the movements of glaciers,
salinity, etc. In the spring, sledge
journeys with dogs will be undertak-
en-, for typographical and other pur.
poses. Mr.. Bruce has no doubt that
useful journeys could be made Oh
the inland ice. In 1902 the ship will
return to relieve the wintering party,
and to resupply it with fresh food.
If expedivnt, further exploration will
be made with the ship in the summer
months. The explorers will pass a
second winter, and possibly third,
at their station.

Foreigners in China
Urge advance on
Pekin.
An army of 100000 men
necessary.

A despatch from Chefoo to the
Associated Press in New York states
that the foreigners everywhere are
urging the immediate concentration
of an army of 100000 men, or at
least $4,000 men, for an advance on
Pekin. Many persons familiar with
the Chinese character think that the
foreign Ministers and Vice Admiral
Seymour are held as hostages for
good ter:Ls of settlement. They also
believe that the whole Chinese army
is joining in the movement, under
tfe leadership of Tung- Flu, Hsiang,
who crushed the Mohammedan re-.
belliOn. Recently he was nominally
degraded for the purpose of quietly
organizing an anti-foreign uprising.
1t is estimated that $4,000 sol
diers, well armed but poorly disci.
plined, are about Pekin and Tientsin.
The Chinese ofiicers boast that they
have 400, 900 soldiers.
Vice Admiral Seymour's force
carried a ceek's rations, and the men
had an average Of 100 rounds Of
ammunition. The Russians con.
duct at Taku, according to the other
officers, inflamed the natives. The
Russians are reported to have been
shooting the Chinese indiseriminate.
ly, driving asCay the peaceful Chi.

A great naval demonstration at
all the treaty ports is also said to be
desirable in order to influence the
wayeriDg Chinese merchants, who
are friendly to foreigners. The
masses are becoming excited at the

ses against tho Poaoerr. Merchant
