after.


Chicago, May 31.-ChicaRo's machinist
strike began to-day. More than 600 men
quit in various shops and factories be-
causssth employers refused to sign the.
agreement sent out yesterday for a 1914
per cent raise in wages, a Rine-hour day
and time and a half and Double time for
all time over nine hours When the force
Of 280 machinists gathered at the exten-
siVe works of Frazer & Chalmers early. in
the morning they we're met by W. J.
Chalmers. who told them they might as
well go home if they expected him TO
sign the agreement. The machinists dis
persed. Similar scenes were enacted in
many other plants, though few manu-
facturers signed the agreement.
The situation assumed a grave aspect
with the threat of the allied trades to
declare a sympathetic movement at once.
With the exception of six shops none Of
those to which the agreement was pre-
sented has signed. The most extensive
firm of the six signing is the Link Belt
company, which, with 130 men employed,
granted the machinists demands. 1t is
expected that by tomorrow nearly 1000
men will be in the ranks Of the strikers.
Milwaukee, May 31.-The Milwaukee
Association Of Machinery Manufacturers
has issued an uitimatum to the striking
machinists that unless the men return to
work by Monday at 10 a. M, they will no
longer be considered as employees. The
fight of the employers will be along the
lines laid down in the declaration adopted
at the meeting in Chicago.

SISibO Castle.
London, May 31.-A dispatch from Edin-
burgh says action has been instituted by
Sir Charles Sutherland to set aside the
purchase of Skibo castle by Andrew Car

What Humidity Means.

Humidity is the amount OF aqueous
vapor in the atmosphere compared with
that which is required 10 saiuate it under
given condition as to emperature-spe-
clhcally called relative humidity. If the
atmosphere is completely satuated the
humidity is expressed as 100; if perfectly
dry. as o. When the atmosphere be-
comes so satuated that the relative humid
ity reaches the 100 point there is a rain
fall. There can. however, be a iainfall
in a place where the relative humidity
has not reached 100. The expression
relative humidity 90" means that the
atmosphere is within four one-hundredths
of being thoroughly satuated. The humid
ity varies widely in different places and
in the same places at different times.

DOG DAYS
Sirius The Dog Star, And It's Effect Upon
0anines-A Few Suggestions To
Owners OF Dogs.

Sirius. the dog star, is Using with the
sun and casting his baletul influence on
the members OF the canine race. The
pampered pug and the tramp dog of the
streets alike are realizing the proverb.
thai every dog has his day, and feel
themselves 20 be IN possession OF their
periodical allotment OF time. For the
"dog days are upon us and the hand
OF man against his former friend Among
the ancleuts this season when dogs 60
mad was the time OF greatest heat in the
summer, and so named because in the
attitudes of the Mediterranean il nearly
coTTesponded with the rising OF the dog
star Sirius with the sun. To this con-
junction was ascrihed the malignant in
fiuence that crazed even the most gentle
OF the canine race. Formerly this season
began about August 10Th, but now it IS
reckoned from about July 3rd to August
nth. While many skepNCs openly sneeT
at such circumstance being the cause
Of dog madness, It is a question argued
by some of the Cleverest followers of Judi
cial astronomy, and there are many who
prefer TO keep on the safe side by adher-
ing TO a dog-day code OF ethics handed
down through a long lire OF believing
ancestors, one OF the principal warnings
in 1t being to ostracise the dog until he
has had his day. Then. if he looks
healthy and eats we'll and has no fear of
water. he stands a good chance Of being
reinstaled in favor.
