October Weather Ira Hicks.

October will begin with reactionary
storms of rain, and possibly snow to
the north, passing eastwardly over the
country. New moon on the Ist will
cause higher temperature, with cleo
tucal storms, high tides and probably
seismic disturbances on and touching
that date but cold gales from the
north west with rising barometer will
follow quickly. During the Vulcan
storm period, 4th, TO 9th, the weather
will grow decidedly warmer, being in
western parts and moving eastward,
the barometer will fall at the same
time, and cloudiness and rain will
follow, touching most arts of the
country in their eastward progress
about Sunday the 5th to Wednesday
the Sth. Storms of this period pro-
mise to be general and severe, with
great probability of wintry aspects in
all northerly directions, so with
heavy sleets are entirely probable,
followed by high barometer and cold.
The Mercury period is central on the
10th and continues to the 10Th, and
this fact, blended with others will
cause unsettled stormy weather, per-
haps, outside of the regular periods.
Much cloudiness with drizzle and
sleet are results to be expected during
much Of the Mercury period. A rus
IN the temperature and rain and snow
storms Of increased extent and energy
will be natural on and touching the
I 9Th and I3th.
The Vulcan storm period central
on the 18th and covering the 18th to
10th, and big October cold wave
and a very high barometer wind up
the period. Such are the probabli-
ties, not the absolute certainties. All
concerned should be on the lookout
for indications, as no violent atmos-
pheric or other disturbances come as
a rule without plain and timely warn
ings. If an excess OF storms and
, rough weather fail to materiallze at
this time look for seasonable warm
weather.
Reaction TO much warmer, with
falling barometer and more rain,
turning the snow northward, will be
natural results on and touching the
2Srd and 24 The last FIVE days of
the month are covered by regular
storm period. The indications are
that storms tropical in kind, with
thunder and ram southwark, will come
during the first developments of this
period. But as the rising barometer
area from the northwest impinges on
the low barometer TO the southwark,
rains will quickly merge into sleet and
snow, and boral blasts will spread
southwark and eastward quite over
the country.

Carefully locked away in one of the
freproof safes of the New Jersey His
torical society there now are two valu-
able documents that tell of the early
colonization of the state, says the New
York Times.
The first is deed on parchment
from Charles II. 20 his brother James,
duke of York, afterward king Of Eng
land. giving him grant Of all lands
from the st. Lawrence river to Chesa-
peake bay The only two names on the
grant that Americans Of to-day would
recognize are Nantucket and Cape Cod
which are spelled as they are to-day.
The st. Lawrence river is designated
as "The Great River in Canada"
The deed is beautifully written in
Gothic lettering. and the document is
in excellent condition. Under each
line of writing is a ruling of red, evil
IDENTIFY done with quill. The parch-
ment is over two feet in length and to
the bottom is attached what was once
large seal of wax.
Gold and silver cords are fastened
to the seal. In an upper left-hand cor
ner is an engraving of Charles H., and
the borders Of the deed are filled with
pen and ink designs, delicate and beau
tiful. The document is dated from
Westminster in the seventeenth year
of King Charles reign While the
deed is apparently the original, for the
amount of work expended on it would
not be given to a copy, no signatures
appear and apparently none was ever
placed on it.

Excessive I<indnes

A singular case is that of Patrick
Logue, of Altoona, Pa, who has been
prosecuted for cruelty to animals, his
offense consisting of excessive kind
ness. Logue is so fond of an intelli-
gent horse owned by him that he will
not allow the horse to work or even
be exercised. For four years the
horse has not been out of the stable.
Logue feeds it and cares for it ten
DERBY, but he has steadfastly refused
to take it out. Consequently the HUI
name society has brought suit to
force him to give the horse some
work or exercise it daily at least.

Pennsylvania. He lived in Pennsyl-
yania and on the Virginia frontier from
1920 to l770, when he removed to the
shores of the Ohio with his family. He
was a brave chief, of noble presence,
always friendly to white people, and
endeared himself to them by his many
noble qualities and sturdy friendship
He was favored CD with unlimited
quantities OF liquor, and became verJ
intemperate, but was always as harm
less and gentle a vagabond as Rip Val.
Ninkle. In 1774 marauding bands OF
white men assassinated every mem
ber of Logan's family, This cruel and
villainous deed aroused Logan to deeds
of vengeance upon the entire white
race. He stimulated the tribes to make
war upon the whites by telling them his
story of bereavement, and became the
successful leader of savage warfare
lasting six years. There were ter.
rible cruelties, in all of which Logan
was preeminent. He is reputed to have
taken upwards of 80 scalps with his
own knife
The Indians were finally defeated,
but Logan disdained to sue for peace
with the otSer chiefs. Instead of any
act of submission, he sent to Lord
Dunmore, go,erAor of Virginia, an ad.

an act relating to acknowledgements

CENTURY OF PATENT ISSUES.
beginning July n, 1900. the Number
Granted in This Country Has
Been i2S,B2I

The census bureau lately issued a
report dealing with the cooperative
relation of patented inventions to
manufactures, which shows that New
York, though third in population and
patent rank for the first decade of
the 100 years has since been first in
both. as well as manufactures. It is
an interesting fact. in considering
the list of states presented in the
report. that the manufacturing rank
of state as rule approXimatcs its
patent rank, says the New York
Sun. The report says:
The first patent granted by the
general government was to Samuel
Hopkins, July 81, 1890. for an inn
provement in pot and pearl ash
manufacture. The last patent grant
ed for the year 1889, at the close of
the first 100 years of patent issues.
was to Wilhelm Dreyer. December
81, 1889. for an electromagnetic
typesetting machine. These two pat-
ents are suggcstively symboical Of
the progress of the century in in
vention and manufactures-th first
akin TO the primitive industries OF
a new country and the last serving
the exacting demands of highly or
ganized industrial system. The total
number Of patents issued during this
century of invention was 42S,621."
feature of the report is the
steady growth shown in the number
of patents granted to citizens of for
eign countries.

NOT THE SAME NAMES.
Nomencinture for Birds in England
md America Is Not mt All
the Same.

In reviewing a book about Beasts
and Birds in America" the London
Spectator warns English readers
against the confusion that may arise
in their minds by the application of
the same name to different birds in
England and the United States. "The
consequence" it remarks, sis that the
critical English schoolboy who reads
of robins pecking a wicked squirrel
tMeekoO to death will perhaps toss
the book away as untrus tworthy-un
less he is reader of Wendell Holmes,
and remembers the allusion to the
day when young Americans were mis-
led by the English books with local
color not fitting the new country. In
the books that came from England the
robin was a little domestic bird that
fed at table instead of a great fidgety,
jerky, whooping thrush"
But the whooping thrush (Tardus
migratorious) of North America hada
red breast like the robin of England.
and so the name was given to him,
and it was mob of whooping thrush
es. and not robin redbreasts, that did
"Meeko," the mischief maker to death.
And so, it may be added, the ancient
misunderstanding and controversy be-
tween English and American tourists
at the Atlantic liners tables as to
what is a partridge pheasant,
grouse, etc, will go on to the end of
time.

Especial washington Letter.l

&C. speaking OF animals of Ameri-
ca, the theory of NJ. de BuiTon
the Able Raynal and others,
presented itself to consideration"
wrote Thomas Jefferson. "rhey have
supposed that there is something in
the soil, climate and other circum-
stances in America which occasions
animal nature to degenerate, not ex-
cepting even man, native or adaptive,
physical or moral. This theory, SO un-
founded, and degrading to one-third Of
the globe. was called to the bar of fact
and reason"
That such theory ever was adj
vanced by civilized and educated per-
sons was news to the writer, but il is
contained in an old publication which
was recently handed to pond
ent by deliver in library lore, one who
delights in studies of minute details of
history. The pamphlet IS worn and
somewhat faded, manifesting anti
guilty, and it contains Jetrersou's let
ter dated Philadelphia, December 81,
1897, with a great deal of interesting
and valuable matter upon an historical
topic.
In the years 1871 and 1852 Jefferson
compiled the "Notes on Virginia. for
the information OF the secretary of the
legation of France to this country. \
few copies were published in Paris in
the year 1874 and given 10 particular
friends. In the letter quoted jefferson
says: combating in these Notes the
contumilouS theory cf certain Euro
pean writers, whose celebrity gave cur
rency and weight to their opinions,
that our country. from the combined
effects of soil and climate, degen-
Grated animal nature in the general,
and particularly the moral faculties
of man, | considered the speech Of
Logan as an apt proof of the contrary.
and used it as such; and copied, YER
batim. the narrative had taken down
in 177i, and the speech as it had been
given us in better translation by
Lord Dunmore."
It seems that the genuineuess and
authenticity of since celebrated
speech by Logan. the bcrcaved Indian.
which Mr.. jefferson had published
with the purpose thus disclosed, had
been questioned. The speech has been
published in school books for more
than "A century; and here is Jeffer-
sons account of Its origin: "As soon as
found that the story of Logan could
be doubted, | determined to inquire
into it as accurately as the testimony
remaining. after a lapse of 20 odd
years, would permit, and that the re-
suit should be made known either in
the first new edition which should be
printed of the Notes on Virginia. or
by publishing an appendix.
IL had only concurred with thou
sands and thousands of others in be-
lieying transaction on authority
which merited respect. The story of
Logan is only repeated in the Notes
on Virginia. precisely as ii had been
current for more than dozen years
before they were published.n
Here is the brief history of Logan.
His name was Tah-gahiute. He was
the son of a Cayuga chief and assumed
the name of Logan to do honor to
his friend, the acting governor of

WATER FoR The HOLY CITY.
Jerusalem Is Now Supplied by a system
of Modern Designs.

The Holy Land has it's railways,
electric lights and American wind
mills, and now Jerusalem is about to
get a supply of good drinking water.
In ancient times the city Of David
was well supplied. The remains of
e%queducts and reservoirs show this.
But since the Turks day the people
of Jerusalem have been dependent
on the scanty and often polluted ac-
cumulations Of rain water in the rock
hewn cistern beneath their feet. Even
this supply has recently failed. Says
a correspondence the London Times,
owing to want of rain. Distress and
sickness became so general that the
Turkish governor has at length been
induced to sanction the purchase of
iron pipe to bring water from Ain
Salah, or the sealed fountain at
Solomon's pools, about nine miles
south of Jerusalem. A pipe six inches
in diameter will bring 5000 skins"
of water a day for distribution at
fountains" supplied with faucets.
Solomon, in his famous Song speaks
of this secret spring, now turned 70
use. MY beloved" he says, as quoted
by the Times correspondent, lis like
a spring shut up, a fountain sealed"
Il is a deep-down subterranean spring,
which has. from the time of Solomon,
flowed through the arched tunnel built
by him to the distributing chamber
or reservoir neal the northwest corner
OF the highest Of Solomon's pools.
Half n century ago the location CO
this hidden" spring which was still,
as In Solomon's time, flowing into the
reservoir mentioned, was unknown.
The tunnel is rooted by stones lean
ing against each other like an inverted
V. the primitive form OF the arch,
which is also seen IN the roof of the
queens chamber of the great pyramid.
The entrance to this tunnel from the
spring is one of the oldest structures
in existence. The piping is to be laid
along the old aqueduct which former
ly, from the time of Solomon, brought
this same water to the temple area.
There are eleven or twelve ancient
fountains here and there in the city,
long unused. but now to be utilized, and
from which the water may be drawn
free to all. several taps being attached
to each fountain.-Baltimore Sun.
