BY means of the electrical discharges
from steel wires attached to tailless
kites Of the Eddy type William A.
Eddy, the kite expert, believes he has
proved that a storms location can be
determined, whether it be in the east
ern or western hemisphere. A recent
experiment made by Mr.. Eddy at
Bayonne, N. j., showed the intensity
and direction of a storm several hun
dred miles north of Chicago. Mr..
Eddy, as a result of this investigation,
believes that the moment storms
gather, either in Manitoba or Siberia,
the great storm incuhat0rs, they can
be instantly detected in New York.
John Mine, the earthquake expert,
can tell the instant an earthquake oc-
ours, whether it LIS in Hawaii, India
or Mexico. Mr.. Eddy proposes to do
the same with storm oenters. Eddy's
discovery q not only that q mari
ner can determine the atmospheric
condition of his course before leaving
port, but that while en- route he can
detect and steer clear Of severe storms.
It also means the elimination Of such
losses of life as recently depopulated
Porto Rico, because the inhabitants
could be warned long before such a
storms approach and could prepare to
fight it.

A Chicago justice has thrown out of
court the suit brought by a fortune
teller who used her mystic arts to win
a wife for a bashful client and was
then unable to collect her usual fee.
The Justices decision may be de-
plored as calculated to cast obloquy
upon the ancient arts Of prophecy and
magic, but will be honored and up
held by all persons who believe that
Cupid should do his work alone with
out the superfuous and extraneous as.
sistance of outside parties.

The synod of a southern church has
recently asserted it's opposition to pub
lie prayer, preaching or church office
holding by women. 1t did not pro-
nounce against their singing in Sun
day school! Probably it had W
heard of a brave little woman in an
adjoining state who, in a rapidly set
tied oil town, gathers, each Sunday,
representatives of ten sects, builds the
fire in the schoolhouse, rings the bell,
and prays and talks with the miners
and their families. One idiot boy
walked ten miles to get her to give
Christian burial to a baby he was fond
of, and while he led the procession,
carrying a sheaf of wild flowers over
his shoulder, she walked up and down
the steep hills, behind the rude cart
the mother drove, s~teadying the rough
little coffin. Truly of such-in public
Or private-is the kingdom of heaven.

The state superintendent Of public
schools in Nebraska has decided that
the Bible may be read in the public
schools. The matter was laid before
him in a cas- from Gage county,
where one family wanted the teacher
enjoined from using the book, al
though all others favored it. In his de-
cision Mr.. Jackson said: There
seems to be nothing in the laws of Ne
braska that would prevent the simple
reading of the Bible in our public
schools. 1 am Of the opinion that in
this enlightened age and Christian
land the public school teacher ought
not to be deprived of reading the Bible
or of repeating the Lords prayer"

PRESERVE PREHISTORIC RUINS
REPRESENTATIVE sHAFRoTH
INTRODUCES BILL IN HOUSE.
Relics of the Southwest to Be Pro-
tected From Vandalism and An
Accurate Survey Is to BE Made.
fspecial to The Herald.1

Washington, Jan. 31.-Representative
Shafroth this afternoon introduced a
bill providing for the preservation of
the prehistoric ruins Of the southwest
The bill is drafted and presented in
accordance with the suggestions of f.
H. Newell Of the department. of agri-
culture
The Denver representative has been
for some time in correspondence with
the United States geological survey
and the chronological bureau relative
to legislation upon this subject. The
measure introduced by Mr. ShafrOth
today provides penalties for the des-
truction or carrying away any part OF
any historic antiquity or ruin
The government bureaus having
knowledge of this subject say that the
McClerg maps are quite insufficient to
properly describe the ruins by metes
and bounds. The department there
fore deems it necessary to haze an ac-
curate survey made. The bill presented
by Mr. Shafroth is designed to protect
ruins from vandalism until the sur
veys can be properly completed.

Portland, Me, Jan. Civilian ].
Bryan was the guest Of the Democratic
club tonight at a banqSet IN the city
han. Mr.. Bryan, with Congressman
Lentz Of Ohio and Ex-Governor Altgeld
of Illinois, left Boston early this morn
ing, each speaking at a mass-meetlng
in the city hall at Lawrence at noon
Mr.. Bryan appeared on the rear plat
form of the car at Haverin for a short
speech 20 about 1000 persons, and also
shook hands with most of those in his
immediate vicinity, receiving a bouquet
IA exchange.
At Dover, n. H, where a large crowd
had gathered, there was a little hand
shaking. Portland was reached at 5
o'clock, the party being taken to the
Hotel Falmouth. After a short rest
Mr.. Bryan was rendered a reception in
the council chamber Of the city hall.
Following this was the banquet in the
larger hall above.
The speaking began at s O'clock, and
as there was another big meeting at
the Auditorium the three chief Speaa-
ers were taken IN turn from one meet
ing to the other. Ex-Governor Altgeld
was me ufSL speaker al the CITY MAN.
Given an Ovation
Mr.. Bryan, the next speaker, was
given an ovation SURPRISING any which
he had received at any previous time
in New England. He said that WhCn he
came into the eastern states he came

ment He spoke Of his visit to Bath
in 1896, and said he learned to love his
colleague on the ticket for MS sterling
qualities and manly nature.
1.-THE eastern Democrats IL 1896, said
Mr.. Bryan, did not have a large share
in making that platform, but they will
have a large share in making the next
platform, which will be just like the
last I am glad that the time is PAST
when either a gold Democrat or a sill
yer Democrat can lead astray any large
number of people. IF any of our silver
Democrats was to leave today he would
take with him just one person. That
is all"
Mr.. Bryan divided the remainder of
his address into three parts and dis
cussed. in turn, money. trusts and i'm
perialism, in the same manner as he
has at recent meetings.
Congressman Lentz, the last speaker,
devoted his attention almost entirely to
the Philippine question.
