The Irl r. Hicks
1901 Almanac.

Whatever may be said of the scien-
titic causes upon which the Rev. Irl
H. Hicks bases his yearly forecasts of
storm and weather, it is remarkable
fact that specific warnings Of every
great storm, flood, cold wave and
drouth, have been plainly printed in
his now famous Almanac for many
years. The latest startling proof of
this fact was the destruction OF Gal
weston, Texas, on the very day named
by Prot. Hicks in his 1900 Almanac,
as one of disaster by storm along the
gulf coasts. The 1901 Almanac, by
far the finest, most complete, and
beautiful yet Published, is now ready.

hundred pages, splendidly illustrated
with charts and half-tone engravings,

Cheyenne, Wyo., Nov. 1.-Two
weeks ago a man was found in cave
at Corlctt, six miles west of Cheyenne,
fmaciated, starving, and portions of
his body rotting away. He was
brought to Cheyenne hospital and
today regained consciousness. He
says his name is James McLerne, OF
Chicago, and that he is only IS years
old, although he looks to be 40 years
Of age. His father and mother re-
aide on South CLARK street, Chicago,
and the boy says he left there three
months ago and went to Idaho to
work on a railroad. Falling ill he
started for home and got as far as
Corlett, when he crawled into the
cave. He lay there three days, and
realizing that he was dying attempted
to crawl out. He was too weak and

That Day Of
Universal Peace.

1t is delightful to observe that Mr..
Choate, our ambassador to England,
In an address delivered yesterday, ex-
pressed himself as looking forward
hopefully to a condition of universal
peace. 1t is well indeed to hope for
that condition, but i, is quite another
thing to expect it.
Until the meeting of the peace con-
gress at the Hague, the outlook for
peace was unprecedented and the
world listened with wrapt admiration
to the many beautiful addresses de-
livered and hailed with delight the
final expressions of the congress.
But since then England has waged
her war IN South Africa, war so
completely without justification that
the world has stood aghast in con-
temptation Of it. Our own country
is waging a war in tue Philippines
which, if nothing else is said OF it,
could have been avoided. In China
the conduct of the allies has been
such as to horrify civilized people.
1t is said that half the truth has not
vet come out, but when we find civil
lied soldiers looting the towns through
which they pass and Chinese women
hanging themselves to escape worse
fate at the hands of the Christian in
vaders, we are apt to be deceived by
any high-sounding phrases about a
war wagcd in the interests OF Christi
anity.
Universal peace will come, but not
until that great day when universal
greed and selfshness have been eradi-
Gated. Until then we may hope for
it, but if we expect It we are simply
deluding Denver Post.

Photograph With

(New York Herald.)

Thinkt of phonograph without q
cylinder or diaphram, phonograph
that simply strings its records on
piano wire, as you might file SO many
written sheets of paper. That is
what New Orleans electrician has
Invented.
Its description is not difficult
When you talk over telephone the
vibrations of your voice send out a
series of delicate electric waves. In
the new machine telephone is con
mected with an electro magnet
which is excited by the little waves
as they travel through it in infinitely
rapid succession, and at the same
time along piece of piano wire is
drawn past its two points, very near,
but not touching. This magnetizes
the wire, but as the magnet itself is
continually varying in power, owing
10 the vibrations, there is cores
ponding variation in the effect it pro-
duces. That is, the wire is magnet
