easterly mean cloud, and rain. But the showers are local and it cannot be told exactly when they will occur.
 The winter storms are totally differ- en,. They last for days with little or no regard for night or day, they cover hundreds of thousands of square miles and show an effect on the barometer long in advance of the real storm: they seldom ever have thunder and lightning in lhem-when they do il is from some temporary local cause: and last and most important of all. they travel across the continent in well de- fined and well known tracks.
 In Northern Arizona these storms are preceded by southwesterly or west erly winds. This is quite different from the case in the Mississippi valley and the eastern states where lhe storm is preceded by south to southeast winds. The ifference is perhaps due to the configuration of the Rocky Mountains. At any rate we find west and southwest winds preceding win ter storm and north to mort heast wind following it.
 In 1895 during the months of Jan uary, February and March, watched the currents in the upper atmosphere on every night in which stars could be seen. With the regularity almost of clock work the wind began in the northeast with clear weather: worked round through north and northwest to west when clouds began. At south west it was showing and when the sky cleared off the wind was northeast again. During those three months there were seven cases in which this occurred and one case in which snow failed to appear in the southwest wind. Also, the longer the southwest wind blew before the storm, the longer and heavier was the storm. This knowl-

edge enables Us to make an estimate of the probable local weather for a day or two ahead.
 Longer prediction than this must come from the weather bureau, and they do it by their knowledge of storm tracks. They have found by years of observation that storms coming in from the Pacific Ocean somewhere north ef San Francisco may either cross the Rockies toward the St. Lawrence val ley or travel down the coast and pass to the eastward in our latitude and disappear, As soon as they find which of these routes it is going to take they can predict for the regions toward which it is moving. Of course the rate of travel is no. always exactly the same. and in their predictions they use the average obtained from years of observations.
 At best these predictions of indi- vdual storms can be done about Il week in advance, provided the storm has already developed on lhe coast. longer prediction. especially in this part of the United States. is impossible in the present state of knowledge. No living man knows whether the coming winter is to give Us much snow or lit tie nor the dates upon which the storms will occur, nor is any guess about it of any value. Of course il is common sense 10 say that after several unusually dry years we are likely to have rainy or snowy one, bnt as to whether the wet year is this or the next or the one after that, no man can tell A..

Horse Racing on the Stage.

In racing scenes the horses do run at
full speed. They run, however, not on
the fixed stage. but on what may be
called treadmills, which keep the horses
in front of the house for longer or
shorter periods, according as they are
moved quickly or slowly. A picket
fence, placed between the audience and
the course, not only makes the scene
more realistic; it also hides the mechan-
ism Of the treadmills. This fence has
contributed in another way TO add to
the effect by being moved in opposition
to the direction of the horses and so
lending to their apparent speed.
AS to the sounds made by the foot
falls of horses to be heard as though
passing outside an interior scene, they
are reproduced by the dried hoofs OF
dead horses or wooden limitations
mounted on handles and hammered
against surfaces of stone, gravel, sod
or whatever the occasion may demand.
They are also more deliberately manu-
featured by revolving cylinder with
pins protrudng from the surface.
These pins are arranged, like the spurs
on a hand organ roller, to initiate trot-
ting, galloping or walking when struck
against other substances. If the sound
of a carriage is to be added to the
trampling Of horses, wheels are run on
sand.-Cassell's Magazine.

An eminent lord chief justice who

An "American" Duel.

During my residence in Heidelberg a
lamentable and terrible affair took
place that threw a profound gloom
over the university and the entire
town. Two German students, having
quarreled. decided the earth was not
large enough for both of them to live
in and resorted to the diabolical prac-
tice called the American duel"
In darl.ened room the two young
men drew lots. having sworn that he
who drew the black ball would commit
suicide. The unhappy loser went to
his room and discharged a bullet into
his breast. but missed his heart and
fingered for several days on his death
bed. His parents were summoned by
telegraph and besought him on their
knees TO disclose the name of his an
tagonist, but he steadfastly refused
and died with the secret in his breast.
The students not only excused his
conduct, but praised his courage, and
when his remains were taken to the
railway station to be transported to n
distant city they accompanied the fu-
neral cortege with torches and music.
The students claimed he was not sui
eide, for he was killed in an honorable
duel, and they maintained that his OPP
ponent was not accessory to his death
because he shot himself. | had many
arguments with them and never could
convince them of their extraordinary
tergiversation.-

Fooled the Crowd.

Some people will go to great trouble
and expense to perpetrate a joke. The
other day two well known society men
hired a closed carriage and decorated
it with bows of white ribbon and flow
ers and other paraphernalia belonging
to a well appointed wedding.
On each side was hung a placard an
nouncing that the occupants were just
married.
1t attracted great attention, and when
it pulled up in front of the Gait House
a few days ago n large crowd had con-
gregated TO see the happy bride and
groom alight. The driver slowly got
down from his seat beside the door.
He opened it deliberately. and when
he swung the door open the curious
crowd surged forward. There was no
bride and no groom inside, but instead

tiers the single word, Rubber"
For little while the driver had the
joke to himself. but soon the crowd
realized the neat swindle, and all en-
joyed the episode hugely.-Louisville

Wna She RiRhfY

A certain woman. says the Wichi-
tn Eagle, desired the arrest of the
saloon keeper who had been selling
whisky to her drunken husband. Hav-
ing conducted the officer TO the saloon.
she was told by him to pick out the
proprietor. Seven men, all looking
alike and dressed alike. were stand
ing motionless around a whisky
barrel. and she could not tell
which was the one, but she stepped
to the barrel and turned the spigot,
and the liquor began to pour out on
the floor. One of the men sprang out
OF the circle and turned the spigot off.
Arrest that man. she said.
But was she right? Was it more
nkely to be the proprietor who world
thus plead guilty and 60 to jail or some
innocent man with an unquenchable
thirst who was Mortified at seeing the

Patrols on Russian Railroads.

The TransSiberian railroad is very
closely guarded the management feel
ing personally responsible for the peo-
pie they carry on their trains. The
road is divided into sections of one
verst, or five-eighths of a mile. In q
neat little log house, usually in gar
den, live the guard and his people. The
average family is wife and five tow
headed children. The houses were
built by the company and evidently
with a view to meeting the demands
of increasing families. The guard or a
member Of his family must patrol his
section night and day He steps to the
side Of the track as the train APP
proaches and after it has passed steps
back into the middle Of the track, holds
a small green flag in the air, at night a
lantern, and stands like a statue until
the train has entered the next section.
Several guards do duty in the heavy
curves, and frequently they are only a
few hundred feet apart.
Much of the track patrolling is done
by women, who have proved fully as
reliable as the men. The women are
nearly always barefooted, and as they
stand on the track holding the flag
aloft. a Siberian breeze toying with
their short skirts. they are fine sub
jects for sculptor after unique mod

sham Antiquities.

A few years ago, IN Soho, London,
there was a factory for antique cop
pers which is probably still in opera
ton. The legitimate business of the
place was the manufacture of stew
pans and kettles, but when trade was
dull in that way any sort of antiques
for which there happened to be a de-
.nand was produced instead.
An old incense burner, for example,
would be reproduced by the dozen by
hammerlng over n chuck. If orna-
mented with pierced work. the copies
would be coated with asphaltum,
through which the design would be
traced, when it would then be eaten
out In an acid bath, saving the time
which would be required TO cut out
the pattern with a piercing saw. The
bath leaves thin edges, by which such
work may be detected.
The work would then be annealed
and would be permitted TO oxidize and
scale. Picking with muriatic acid and
salt, to produce a good coating of YER
digris, would complete the job. Some
times these antiques" would be pur-
posely broken and would be clumsily
mended with solder or with pure tin if
the piece was to pass for a very an
cient one. Chiseled metal was repro
duced by casting and clubbing" over
with the hammer, then picking, an
healing and bending. In such ways
helmets, copper and brass castings for
antiaue furniture and the like were
made.-Art Amateur.
