Hicks prediction of blizzard about

or wrong-as one may wish to inter
pret 1t. The cold wave and blizzard,
which was first discovered on the
borders OF the British possessions
about the Goth, reached this locality
sometime during the night OF the
22nd. The weather had been mild all
the week, and on Saturday a south
east wind brought thaw and rain.
Toward night the wind changed TO
northwest developing Sunday into a
pretty stiff blizzard--a fierce wind,
snow and cold weather. Sleighing Is
not very good except in the tim Der

The Irl R. Hicks 1901 Almanac.

Whatever may be said of the scien-
tific causes upon which the ReY. Irl
R. Hicks bases his yearly forecasts Of
torn 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 Prof. 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.
This remarkable book of near two
hundred pages, splendidly illustrated
with charts and half-tone engravings,
goes as premium to every subscriber
who pays one dollar year for Prof.

Over each one of the arc lamps In
the city is seen a little round box, and
on top of some of the poles that car
ry the wires are seen square black
boxes. The question is frequently
asked: what is the use of these
boxes?" The round boxes over the
arc lamps contain electric magnets
which are operated by the current
flowing over the wires and the use Of
these magnets is to regulate the car
bons, or in other words to keep these
carbons the proper distance apart.
The boxes on top of the poles are
transformers" The object of these
is to reduce the voltage of the main
feeders for the arc lights to cores.

The main feeders carry a
voltage of 1000 volts and the trans

is still further reduced by neutral

the incandescent lamps.

The newspapers have reported the
following story which is indeed a
most pitiful one.
"a wretched mother dropped dead
at the feet of her son who had been 9
burden and a sorrow to her for years.
This son, who was thirty years old,
instead OF helping his mother, spent
his wages for whiskey. A few weeks
ago the mother concluded that COM
hitting him as habitual drunkard
might lead to reformation. She
was called to the witness stand to
swear to the complaint, but the
strain was too great for her, and she
fell dead with the words on her lips:
"It's breaking my heart" No ora
tor, living or dead, ever de livered a
temperance lecture equal to this In
pathos and eloquence.
