PLAN UNDER CONSIDERATION
HAS MANY ADVANTAGES.

The advantages Of the plan under con-
| sideration cannot be estimated By the man
a,e;.lent of the Exposition. which has been
confronted with serious problem since II
became apparent that the immense display
Of The liberal arts and social economy Sec
tiorls could not be compressed within the
limits Of the TWO original buildings which
had been assigned for these great depart
ments The erection of additional buildings
on the site would have destroyed the whole
picture of th. site as 1t had been laid out
bv chief Designer Masqueray. and might
have necessitated an entirely new arrange
rnent of the Exposition. With the Wash
,ugton University buildings added to the
grand group Of structures forming the main
exhibit sections. this embarrassment viii
be relieved and the progress of the con-
struction will be uninterrupted
Il IS believed that the university group
will be Iar-,c enough to house all the .cu-
catinnal and social economy exhibits. but
after il has been asc.rtained that the sX-
hit,ts Will outspread tho limits If the plan

Health Report.

The report of VIM. B. Kenworthey
Nj. d. Inspector for Pike county
for the year 1899 has just been pub.
lishod in the reports of the State
Board of Health. 1t highly COM
mends our water and the fact that
throughout the county the wells are
generally located so as not to receive
any barn drainage or sewage, and
that brook water is rarely used for
drinking purposes. There were no
epidemicg whatever of any contag-
GUS diseases in the county and only
three or four isolated cases of scar
let fever, aside from which there
were no other contagious diseases.
Not single case of malaria has
been contracted in the county in five
years but a few cases have been sent
here to get we'll.
This an excellent showing, but it
is doubtful if the report for the year
1900 will give such a clean bill of
health. while there have been no
typhoid cases in town there have
been some on our immediate bord-
ers and if reports are true there has
been some laxity n carelessness in
the methods of guarding against the
possible spread Of the germs. These
matters affect public health and
households, where the disease exists.
should exercise the utmost care to
prevent any possible exposure which
might endanger the health of others.
It Is notorious that typhoid germs
are not affected by cold but rather
thrive in ice, and it is a mistake to
assume that water in which they
may exist can be thrown on the
ground with impunity All gar
meuts used by typhoid patients
should be thoroughly boiled to kill
the germs.

The Weather.

The four or five inches of snow
which fell last Monday was whirled
and tossed Tuesday by the zephyrs
from the Northwest and on the hills
was piled up in inconvenient places.
1t was our first real touch of old
fashioned winter, and aroused con-
siderable jealousy withal in the
minds of the high priced weather
sharps who sit on the top of city
buildings in cosy rooms and prog
nosticate, because the coon and
ground hog had evidently got the
better of them. Why not furnish
these self contained government ex-
perts with few choice specimens
Of hogs as a sort of experiment.
They might also have a few fresh
goose bones and such other bric-a-
brac as are used by prognosticators.
We might then expect a proper as
sOrtment of weather suitable for
the season.

A Water Glass Shield.

The Scientific american mentions
among recent patented inventions,
that of Engineer Edward I. Reed, of
Port Jervis The invention being a
"Water Glass Shield" designed to
be used in connection with the gage
glasses of locomotives, for the pur-
pose of preventing the engineer from
coming in contract with the glass
and from steam or hot water should
the gage break.
The patented shield seems to us
to be the desired thing for locomot-
i've engineers from the fact 80 many
of the cages break injuring more or
less the hands of the men at the
throttle.
Those interested in the invention
will find it worth reading and time
and money well spent in the pur-
chase of paper containing the de-
scription. We congratulate Mr..
Reed upon his successful and desir-
able invention.

By Direct Vote.

A report and recommendation in
favor of action to procure the cleo
tions of President, Vice President
and all United States Senators by
popular vote will soon be made to
the State Legislature by the joint
Senate and House committee which
was appointed two years ago.
The committee submitted the plan
70 Legislatures of nearly every State,
and more than thirty have declared
for it.
Should the Legislature act i'm.
mediately on the report an effort
will be made to have Legislatures in
other States now in session do so.
1t is not probable that the necessary
two thirds could be procured until
next year. Another year would be
lost in securing a Congressional call
Tor a convention for preparing the
amendment, and it would be at least
1905 before this plan could be ac-
oompHshed.

nineteenth century the good st,
Valentine, with Peters leave revis-
tied the earth thinking to find youth
and life and love the same as in days
of yore. But he found the girls too
busy with music and science and
philanthropy to receive him. and he
came to the conclusion that they are
"nOthing if not pedantic" and "any-
thing but 70 lantic. " Yet the spirit
of st. Valentine will linger, for love
is never out of date. and his fidelity
marks him as the fitting patron and
pattern of lovers for all time.

JANUARY WEATHER REPORT.



Over much the reater portion of
the country the precipitation during
January was below the average, al
though the central Pacific slope and
limited areas in New Mexico, Miss.
our, the northern peninsula of
Michigan, New York, Maine, and
the central and east Gulf States re-
ceived more than the usual amount.
With the exception of the sections
above specified, the month was
marked by exceptionally light pre-
cipitation. Excessive rains, howev-
er, were reported from San Luis
Ohispo, Cal, Jupiter Fla and lin
tied sections of Alabama, Louisian-
ma, and Mississippi, ranging from
to nearly 12 inches. At the close of
the month the ground was covered
by snow to depths ranging from /
to 20 inches over the greater por-
tinn of the winter wheat belt.
GENERAL REMARKS.
The weather conditions during
January were generally favorable
for the winter wheat, although ad-
verse repurts were received from
Kansas, Missouri, and Texas, of lack
of moisture, and from Kentucky.
West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and
Maryland, of injury by alternate
freezing and tbawing and lack of
snow protection At the close of the
month the condition of wheat was
about the average in most sections,
excepting Michigan, Kentucky, and
Tennessee. Notwithstanding contin-
ued reports of damage to the early
sown by hessian fly in some portions
of Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Hill
nois, Indiana, Ohio and Virginia.
The crop is suffering from drought
in Texas aud western Kansas an I
needs rain in some districts of Miss
ouri On the Pacific coast very fav-
nrable weather for this cereal pre-
vailed an the condition Of the crop
continues excellent, the grain hav-
ing germinated nicely, being well
rooted and making healthy growth.
