in the very home Of the storm king.
Medicine Hat is a town of 1000, is
very primitive and questionable, and
is situated in a deep depression with
bluffs surrounding it on all sides. It
has been aptly Iikened to a small lump
of butter in a huge butter bowl. The
Canadian Pacific Railroad enters the
town through narrow ravine, strikes
straight across the sunkens valley and,
gradually climbing along the side Of the
western bluff, comes out once more up
on the prairie. While Medicine Hat is
more widely known because of it's con-
nection with our weather reports than
for any other reason, it Is Of consid-
cradle Importance as a railroad and
trade center for large section Of the
surrounding country. 1t is a divisional
point on the Canadian Pacific and is
the junction point for a line stretching
away into the Kootenay district at the
southwest. 1t is also the head Of nav
igation on the Saskatchewan river and
is a commercial center for a very large
area Of ranching country.
Inc weather SCaLlOn is IN charge OF
typical Westerner, Walter Crosskill by
name, just such character as the art
list loves to picture. While voyaging
about the world on a schooner he stud
led astronomy as pastime; has pros

Columbia; has fought Indians and half
breeds; has been a rancher and trader,

Garden Cities.

A clever English write: has written
a book setting forth the possible ideal
for what he terms the future garden
city" He proposes an arrangement Of
a city's various types Of activity in con-
centric circles-the outer circumference
being the railroad lined with factories.
Then would follow a belt of green, and
within that the employees houses. More
strips of park and more houses alter
nate with churches and schools. The
circle of retail stores is within these,
and at the center a beautiful garden
surrounded by the public buildings
which serve the whole city, like the
opera house, the library, the art mu-
scum, and the city hall. So attrae-
tive has this scheme proved that a gar
den city conference has been formed,
and its annaul sessions have brought
together many prominent and force
full people. A few manufacturers have
actually made q start toward the gar
den city" ideal by taking their facto-
ries into the country and building up
communities along new lines of topo-
graphical arrangement.

point touched was SO degrees, during
the past six years. In summer it gets
fearfully hot at times, in spite Of its
northern location. One hundred de

months. During the year 1900 there
were but three months which showed
a temperature below zero-January

ed the lowest point to have been %
degrees above zero.
The average snowfall at Medicine
Hat is ten inches for the year. Snow
seldom lies on the ground longer than
day or two and, strange as it may
seem of such northern locality,
sleighs are practically unknown. Such
rapid changes of temperature as are
experienced nowhere else in America
are responsible for this.
1t is certainly a queer country-a
country Of strange contradictions and
odd conditions. To think that the
"home Of the cold wave" is more often
warm than cold seems queer enough,
but it remains fact nevertheless.

The Dangers of Palmistry.

If the study Of palmistry, which is
very general in this country at the
present time, were to be pursued only
by persons of intelligence and judg-
ment, the results would hardly fail to
be good or at least harmless, but as a
matter of fact a large proportion of

A correspondent raises the question
as to the present attitude Of the arts
tic public toward long hair. A decline
in hirsute luxuriance is noted in art
circles, and the correspondent is curl
Gus to know if it is a fact that the
public has ceased to associate long hair
with the artistic temperament. Are
shaggy locks no longer a sign Of gen
Jus? It is true that some Of the great
artists, particularly on the concert
platform, have recently excited the
wonderment Of their former admirers
by appearing in public shorn Of the
locks Of crimpy hirsute that were once
their pride and glory. On his last visit
to this country Paderekski had his
hair clipped away in front so as to re-
veal his eyes and a portion of his ia
cial lineaments. While the impressario
was creating a furore among the fe-
male musicians and endeavoring to Gre
ate a stampede for front seats it was
necessary to grow Samsonian locks
and to look utterly unlike all other hui
man animals. Now that he has become
the "fad" in the smart set, however,
it is no longer necessary to swell the
gate receipts by having his hair cut
crescendo. But there is a noticeable
shrinkage of shagginess in all depart
ments of artistic endeavor. Time was
when the poets, painters, musicians,
medicine men and preachers all wore
long hair. The man who dallied long
with the barber could not hope to be-
come a genius. But there are 1ndica-
tons that we are approaching the
short-haired age, the age Of strenuous
strife, where the race is to the man
who has no bushy punches on his face
or on his head for the winds to whistle
through and impede his progress.

WONDERFUL TIDE CALCULATOR.

Uncle Sam has a wonderful clock at
Washington, D. c., which represents the
thought and effort Of nineteen Of the best
years Of the life of William Ferrel, to
whom mariners owe as much, probably,
as to any other man.
The clock is a tide-predicting machine.
Day after day woman keeps turning
little handle, causing the hands on the
center dial erd the smaller ones at each
side to revolve until they reach certain
figures which indicate the time and height
Of the tide at all principal seaports on
the North American coast. In like man
ner, the time Of low tides is ascertained.
At some seaports the tides rise higher
and fall lower than the average, and the
pressing Of a handle makes the neces-
sary connections for such places.
To attempt to describe the intricate
arrangement Of this wonderful machine
would be futile. Suffice it to say that in
day the woman operator can compute
the tides for a month, and she will not
have to add or subtract number-slmply
take readings as indicated by the posi-
tons Of the hands on the dial. So accu-
rate Is this machine that the measure
ments Of the heights Of the tides as they
occur are generally within an inch Of the
| figures announced, sometimes years in
advance, while there is usually less than
fifteen minutes difference between the
forecast and actual times Of occurrence
Of high and low tides.
| To verify the work Of this calculator, a
machine called a tide gauge is used,
which requires no human assistance ex-
cept to wind the clockwork. pencil

weather is such that he can leave it
without attention. Crosskill is 20 years
Of age, but looks not more than SO. He
is not as polished and well dressed as
his fellow scientists Of the city, but
finds jeans, collarless shirt and heavy
boots very satisfactory costume.
Crosskill twice each day sends re-
ports to Chicago, Washington, Mime
apolis and to Canadian points. His re-
liability has been tested on many oc-
casions. Crosskill's Office is a small
story and a half building, we'll back

office, but carpenter shop and living
rooms, as well as the town court
house.
Weather conditions at Medicine Hat
are peculiar and full of surprises. One
naturally expects to find the thermom-
eter showing points below zero more
than anything else during the winter
months, and also to find lower temper
allure registered than at any other place
on the American continent. Such is
not the case, however, though it gets
pretty cold In Medicine Hat at the

States a temperature of 80 degrees be

SIR ELLIS AsHMEAo-BARrLETr

American-Born Member of British
Parliament Is Dead.
The recent death in London Of Sir FL
lis Ashmead-Bartlett removed one Of
the three American-born men in the
British Parliament. The other two are
Francis A. Charming, of the Charming
family of New England, and Ashmead-
Bartlett Burdett-C outts, a brother Of
Sir Ellis and husband of Baroness Bur-
dett- Ooutts, whose name he adopted.
Sir Ellis Ashmead-Bartlett was born
In Brooklyn, N. Y, in 1S49. His grand
parents on both sides were natural
born British subjects. His father, FL
lis Bartlett, Of Plymouth, Mass, was
graduated from Amherst College and
married daughter Of John King Ash
mead, of Philadelphia. On his fathers
side Sir Ellis was lineal descendant
from tive of the Pilgrim fathers, Rob
ert Bartlett, Of Sussex, Eng, who sail

1923, and married Mary, the daughter
of Richard Warren, who had sailed in
the Mayflower in 1920. On his moth
