HOW Wind Is Gauged.
Broadly speaking this piece of appar-
atus, which is used to measure the force
or velocity of the wind, WORKS on the
same principle as a syclometer on BIZ
cycle. It's mechanical arrangement is
such that certain number of revolutions
arc made to indicate that the wind is
blowing at rate of thirty or forty miles
an hour. Then electricity is brought into
use with an automatic recording machine
that holds an indelible pencil and makes
marks on a ruled sheet of paper that is
on constantly revolving cylinder. Each
line on this sheet of paper represents a
unit of velocity, and when the pencil
mark goes to a certain ruling, it means

SENTIMENTAL PATHOLOGY,

The lamented death of Admiral Sampson illustrates the fact that the life fthe individual is only as long as the life of his blood-vessels. This has come to be rather trite medical aphor- ism. The so-called softening of the brain with hemorrhage, is simply a necrosis of cerebral tissue, caused by an interrupted blood supply, which in turn is caused by thickening and obstruction of the cerebral arteries. In the case of this distinguished naval commander it was natural, perhaps, for the public to see in his death possible result of the mental perturbation, the worry and chagrin to which unfortunately he had recently been subjected; and yet we can see no valid reason for such an inter- pretation. Such a death as that of Ad- miral Sampson is a purely physical af- fair. We can imagine no degree of worry that could cause arterial sclerosis. This lesion occurs in all sorts and conditions of men and women. It is of slow onset and gradual progress, and is due to vitochemical changes in the blood and tissues. Admiral Samp- sons death would probably have re- suited in precisely the way it did even if the Spanish war had never waged, or the naval battle of Santiago had not been destined to be fought with even more ardor on the land than it had been on the sea.-Philadelphia Medical Jour nal.

THREE GREAT PERFORMANCES
 TO-DAY

On the Mercantile Stage of the Hirsh Stores.
 Every act is bargain revelation that will be encored and will add several store whose motto is Deeds, Not Words" Those that have held back and are not yet supplied with summer apparel should take advantage of the event. It costs nothing for admission. All you have to do is come and see, and though this store never advertises two dollars worth for one dollar. you'll find the nearest thing to it in this sale that you have ever seen. The Max Ernst union-made stock, at the Hirsh prices, has spread it's seeds so wide by that, that the sale will live and be full of viz or until the last garment is gone from the tables. Imagine pure wooden suit nicely made and fourteen styles to pick from at $45O.
 The second performance is the mems furnishing sale: the people that don't take advantage of this to-day are &C., tually too lazy to go for one dollar gold pieces offered at twenty-five cents; con- template the offerings Silk underwear, all shapes and coorngs, at 13c. Sum- mer underwear Gift for any gentleman to wear), He; good staple fast colored black hose, 5c., and silk embroidered negligee shirts at 65c. The third per fOrmance consists of a purchase of boys suits, your pick. at $2.00; it is very hard to explain in print the enormity of these bargains If the full truth was told 1t would sound like falsehood; therefore If you are interested in boys clothing, and you know the value of the Ameri- can dollar you must call to-day and see for yourself. The last thing in the Hirsh offer for to-day is a purchase of 4 50 mems and youths straw hats, your pick. at BOG You can be assured If they were not offered to us at an excep- tionally low price. and if the styles Were not right up to date, we would not have bought them at this time of the year; remember 1t costs a quarter to get your old hat cleaned; why not then (for five cents more own a new one) and use the old one to go fishing or on a picnic.
