Hotel Gossip

| To most people the name Waldorf-As-

abb hotel in New York City. Any idea of
how large, how managed or anything at
all definite never occurs to the thought
less.
1T will surprise most people to learn
that the Waldorf-Astori has 1900 rooms
and can accommodate about 1900 people
at one time,' said an easterner at the Nc
Dermott today. There are nearly 1000
attaches of the hotel, the Office force
alone consisting of thirty-six people.
There is an average of 300 arrivals day
at the immense hOstelry.

The Indian summer and Explanation of
Vermonl's Historian.

Xadock Thompson in the October issue of
The Green Mountain Repository" 1882.
writes thus in AN article entitled. smoky At
mospbere and Indian summer: The smoky
state of the atmosphere in spring and au-
tumn j. a phenomenon. which Is very geDer-
ally supposed to result from the extensive
burnings which prevail at those seasons.
These, we have no doubt. often contribute TO
its production: but. from our limited obser-
Vation. we are convinced that they are not
the only, nor indeed the principal, cause of
the phenomenon. We have observed thai
the number of smoky DAYS has been greatest
and the smoke most dense after our warmest
aud mOst productive summers, and about the
time when the natural decay OF the foliage OF
the trees and other luNuriant vegetation Is
most rapid Hence we are led TO conclude
that the atmosphere possesses solvent pow
en- by which it is capable of raising and sup
porting the minute particles of decaying
leaves and plants without the aid of a greater
degree of heat than is necessary for produce
ing a rapid decomposition. This solution goes
on insensbly, until the atmosphere becomes
loaded with the afiluvia, or until some atmos-
pheric change takes place to condense il. when
it becomes visible in the form of smoke This
process though slower and less obvious. is
perfectly analogous to that by which smoke is
procured from fires. The severity Of
winter puts stop to the progress of decay
and the smoke is precipitated. The 'smoke
days" will then cease, but will return with
the opening spring, and continue till the dis-
solution of the last years leaves is completed,
when but little smoke will be observed in the
atmosphere until the succeeding autumn.
The abOrgines of our country We're SO ac-
custumed to observe this smoky state of at
mosphere that it is said to have been general
maxim among them that there must be thirty
smoky days both in spring and autumn. And
indeed such was their confidence of their oc.
currence in autumn, that they felt no appre-
hension of being overtaken by winter until
the thirty smoky days were elapsed. This
phenomenon was also universally noticed by
the early European settlers of this country;
and aS the smoky days in autumn were us.
ually attended by an almost perfect calm and
a high temperature. they denomnated them,
probably in alluSi0u to the above maxim, the
"lndian summer But from The commence
ment of the settlement the Indian Summers
seem to have gradually become more and
more irregular and less strikinglv marked in
their character until they have almost ceased
to be observed. Now admitting the hypothe-
sis which we have advanced this is precisely
what we should expect.

SURPRISED BY A PANTHER.

Exciting Experience Of w. II. Snow aud
}. w. Cobb While Hunting in the Tu,vu
of Andover-AnimaI First Seen in a
CrOuchtng Position Within 20 Feet Of
the Hunters.
w II Snow and j Willard Cobb went
through an unusual and exciting expe-
rience last week while partridge hunting
IN the town of Andover, this state, and
came rear being Obliged to bag some
bigger game than they were hunting in
order to save their own skins. The in
cident took place in one of the widest
parts Of the town, and, in fact, one of
the most heavily wooded sections of the
state. Snow and Cobb had lust
emerged from tract of heavy timber
and we're about to climb Il wall which
divided the wood from pasture. Cobb
was several yards ahead of Snow in
the act of lighting a cigar when the lat
ter heard slight rustling on the further
side Of the wall and, thinking it might
be rabbit, turned in the direction from
which came, the noise. There on the
ground, not 20 feet from Cobb, was
large panther crouching and appar-
emily preparing to spring. Snow called
10 COBB to look out for himself and then
fired Doth barrels of his shot gun at the
animal. The cartridges which were in
the gun at the time contained nothing
but tine bird shot and seemed to have
no effect on the panther, which simply
turned its head and remained in the
crouching position. By this time Cobb
had seen the animal and began firing
at it.
After his first shot the panther leaped
20 ledge directly back of Snow, but
Cobb FREQ seven shells from his repeater
before the animal could get away.
None of them seemed to have any effect,
although it is probable that several
charges from Cobb's gun found their
mark in addition to the two fired by
Snow. by the time Cobb had exhausted
the supply of shell in his magazine.
Snow had his gun loaded with buck
shot but the panther had disappeared
IN the brush at the edge of the heavy
timber. Snow was for folloSing the
animal in the hope that il had been
wounded and could he killed but Cobb
preferred to remain in the open. The
occupants of the nearest farm house
said that they had lost several sheep
this fal! and other people in that part of
the county has suffered more or less
from the depredations of the unimal.

10 order to enable everybody to see
the Pan American exposition the Cen
tral Vermont railroad has made an un-
usually low offer in the way of al ex-
cursion rate, and it is probable that
many people who have not felt able TO
afford trip to Buffalo will take advab-
tage of this chance 20 visit the grand
show. Excursions will run every Mon
day and Thursday, beginning October
Il and continuing until Monday. Oct Is,
tickets being limited from but not iB-
GLIDING day OF sale. The price of the
round trip is only SO. from all stations
between New London and South Lon
donderrv inclusive. and the route will
be via White River Junction, Montreal
and the Grand Trunk railway, the best
possible way to reach Buffalo, and trip
that affords I'D unusual amount of sight
seeing. Children between five and II
years will be taken at half rate. The
electrical display at the exposition prob
ably will never again be egualled as
there is no power like Niagara from
which TO generate. To see the 100000
incandescent lights all turned on at
once is alone worth the trip aside from
the 100 and more other attractions.
Good hotels and boarding houses offer
accommodation at prices within thereach
of every one.

predecessors having been known as great dukes
OF Muscovy. From this 1t will be seen that when
the title of British Emperor is revived In the per-
Of Edward VII his will be the most ancient
OF all imperial titles and imperial crowns dating
back to the Anglo-Saxon monarchs who reigned
over Britain more than thousand years ago.
Among other imperial crowns have been those
Of the Bonapartes in France and OF the Bra
ganzas in Brazil of Iturbde and of Maximilian
IN Mexico. and of the negro Soulouque in Hayti.
But all these crowns have disappeared while
King or Queen Of Spain has ever ventured to re-
vive the title of Emperor Of All the SPANS borne
by Ferdinand the Great OF CASTLE. but which he
was forced to abandon by the remonstrances of
Emperor Henry III of Germany.
The origin OF the word emperor is. II is need
less TO say. Roman. 1t was accorded 20 Julius
Cesar by vote of the Senate. in order TO de-
note that he was invested with supreme power.
Augustus likewise received the title of ''imper-
ator'' from the Senate Tiberius and Claudius
refused TO bear it, but under their successors II
became established as the regular official title
OF the monarch of the Roman world On the
revival of the Roman Empire by Charlemagne
he assumed the title of Emperor of the Holy
Roman Empire" after his coronation at Rome
by the Pope: and until the sixteenth century,
while the Emperor of Germany elected at
first by the nation, and afterward by the prince
his election to be crowned in Rome by the Pope,
he could not the title of emperor until that
coronation had taken place. In 1908 Macmillan
l, being unable TO go to Rome, obtained from
Pope Julius ii bull permitting him to style
himself emperor elect Qmperator electus). and
this title was taken by all his SUCCESSORS and
was until 1906 the strict legal designation of
the Emperor OF Germany, and was always en-
ployed in proclamations and official documents.
In those days the word emperor" as in these
present times, implied a sort Of overiordship
and suzerainty over minor rulers, be they kings.
grand dukes princes: also suzerainty over
vassal States which were in the enjoyment Of
home rule and of more or less national indepen-
dence. 1t Will be therefore eminently fit
ting title for Edward VII. and 1t may be hoped
that Anglophobe will in King Edwards

empire in the Western Hemisphere and a
consequent defiance of the Monroe Doctrine
