QUEER WEATHER STATION.
from q Great Distance
Out NJ Sea.

One Of the sights Of Atlantic City Is
the peculiarly shaped structure at the
foot Of Pennsylvania avenue, on the
ocean side of the Boardwalk, says the
Minneapolis Tribune. II Is the new
weather station erected by the govern
ment, and it's plan Is so odd that IL is
regarded as a most attractive curiosity
by the countless number OF visitors who
flock to the seaside during the warm
months.
Il is said to be the most queerly con-
structed building ever erected by Uncle
Sam. 1t has been popularity named the
shell, on account of its likeness to the
growth Of the sea so commonly found on
the sands.
This oval structure, formed Of steel
and galvanized iron. has been COM
pleted at a cost Of $1,000. II shows the
colors so dear to the heart Of an Amer
lean. having been painted in red. white
and blue. The exterior and the fancy
cOrnIee are of blue. the interior is OF
white and the ribs are Of red.
The structure is so conspicuous that
II can be seen for many miles up and
down the coast, and is visible from q
great distance at sea.

the reconstruction period and a United
States senator from that state.
Young Ames has just a shade Of re-
semblance 70 his grandfather, and he
has the old generals faculty for at
taching friends to himself. Young as
he is he has a record in which he
ought TO take a good deal Of pride. He
was lieutenant in the Massachusetts,
militia when the war with Spain broke
out. He went to the front with his
regiment and came out Of the Porto
Rico campaign a lieutenant colonel
Then he went home and served three
years in the legislature, and now he is
in congress.
When Ames was stationed at Camp
Alger early in the spring Of 1888 he
was engineer ofieer Of the camp, and
in the course Of his duties be had a
good many scraps, owing to the fact
that, though merely a lieutenant, he
sometimes had to give directions TO
Omcers Of regiments Of much higher
fank. One Of his troubles IS with Rep
resentative Dick, who was lieutenant
colonel Of an Ohio regiment The two
had not met since TN the opening day
Of congress, when they happened to sit
side hy side In the street car leaving
the capitol. They matched pennies for
the fare and made up for good.

FOOTBALL ACCIDENT.
Strongest and Physically Fit
should he Allowed 90 Play.

So many accidents have been laid to
the game Of football and so many lads
have been crippled thereby that We sell
dom hear Of the injuries and deaths
that might have been avoided. The
death Of a young medical student Of
Baltimore during a contest, hut at a
time when the ball was not in play,
says the New York Herald, affords a
striking instance Of an easily prevent
ible accident
The victim had been a sufferer from
heart disease for a long time and yet
was allowed to take active part in the
game. His condition should have
been, If IL was not, known to his med
Ical associates.
There is no account Of his having
received any injury previous to the
time he was stricken with collapse.
No better proof Of his unfitness for any
extra physical exertion can be given
than the suddenness Of his death while
ne was merely resting. The lesson Of
the sad story Is emphatic and con-
Yincing.
There is no game that requires more
careful and systematic training than
football and only the strongest are
capable Of bearing the strain. II there
is any physical weakness in the can
didate 1t becomes quickly manifest as
he goes on with his exercises, and why
such ineapaeity could not have been
discovered in time to have saved the
unfortunate youth is dificult to mag

RADIUM CARNATIONS.
Scientist Thinks the wonderful sub
stance Can BE Used 20 Cure
Pulmonary Tuberculosis.

Frederick Soddy, who was Prof Ruth
erford, assistant at McGnl university.
In Montreal, has suggested another use
for radium. He argues that as Il has
been found to cure consumption Of the
skin Qupus), It should also cure con-
sumption of the lungs. II it's rays can be
brought to bear directly on the diseased
lung tissue, without any intervening
substances, such as the chest wall. Al
first sight, says the Scientific American,
this seems rather difficult thing to do,
Is II is, Of course, out Of the question to
place any solid mass Of radium within
the lungs themselves But recent stud
les have shown that radium IN a solution
etses on a gas and that this gas Is Itself
radioactive. So all that Is necessary to
subject the internal lung tissue to the
direct action OF radium rays Is to breathe
a mixture Of air and the radium gas. By
this means Mr.. SOddy believes new and
valuable remedy for consumption viii be
available to the pathologist. The rays
from radium have already proved use
ful IN the treatment Of several forms Of
skin disease, and 4 has been suggested
that the insertion Of minute particles
Of radium In the interior Of a cancer Is
worth trying. II should be remembered.
however, that even II radium proves val.
liable In the treatment Of pulmonary tu-
berculosis, fits cost Is so high-seVeral
hundred dollars q graln-that Il could
not come into general use under present
conditions.

Emerson HOuEh, Who Wrote 'sThe
MisHissiPDI Bubble" Meets De-
seendant OF Hero OF His Book.

Emerson HOugh, who, by his strik-
Ing Characterization Of John Law in
The Mississippi Bubble" has made
that picturesque gentleman alive for
all time, was surprised out Of his usual
calm by the appearance at his ONCE
door Of a dignihed and impressive
stranger who announced himself as
John Law. AS soon as Mr.. Hough real
lied that the vision before him was
corporal and not the cheating fancy
Of his brain, he set out the easy chair
and babe the welcome gUest tell him
the story Of his life.
John H. Law lives In Chicago and Is
the resident manager Of a big insur-
ance company. He had read The
Mississippi Bubble" and had called to
pay his respects to the man who had
given the worldan honest picture Of his
great ancestor. Mr.. HOugh learned that
the family on coming to this country
settled first On Georgia, that one Of its
members was a brigadier general in
the confederate army, and that after
the war the Laws moved to Cincinnati
where one Of the brothers still lives in
q country place which he calls Lauris-
ton after the ancestral home In Scot
land

the laurels Of debate between them.
There has been nobody else who could
quite touch either Of them; and they
were q fairly even match. II was In
evitable that the two should not clash;
and the row came IN the heat Of de-
bate. Hepburn thought Cannon made
his remarks needlessly personal. Can
non couldn't see It in that light, and so
for many months these republican
gladiatOrs never spoke as they passed.
Il looked as though the feud would
be q lasting one; but a year ago when
Cannon announced his candidacy for
speaker Hepburn, like the big-minded
fellow that he Is. walked into Cannon's
headquarters one day, held out his
hand and exclaimed: Joe, I'm going
to vote for you" That was one Of the
early things that set the tide flowing
toward the Illinois man, and now that
congress is at work and he has
achieved the ambition Of his life he
signalizes the reconciliation by asking
Hepburn 10 put him In nomination in
the hOuse-which, of course, Hepburn
does eheerfuIly.
There was a significance in the Incl
dent that was not generally under

party harmony during these coming

NEW SHORT STORIES
Enlightened self Interest.

ntenSO SCH
 Professor Powers of Cornell does not favor the killing of the weaker of man. kind in order to improve succeeding generations. though the newspapers quoted him last year to that effect. He has many radical ideas, however, on sociological subjects, and one of these is that the man of the present day must learn to ''iit in,'' to lose his indi- vidual identity and become a cog or a lever in some huge industrial machine. With those persons who lack perspcc- tive he has little patience.
 Last spring in one of his lectures at Cornell on ''The Modern Regime" Pro lessor Powers told of such a person. whom he met in a western town. He got off at the station in one end of the town and learned that the station of the other railroad on which he was to continue his journey that morning was, for no apparent reason, at exactly the other end of the village, two miles distant He took the bus and while waiting for his train at the end of his ride engaged in conversation with the bus driver, who was also the bus own CT. Professor Powers asked him if he did not think that some day the two railroads would consolidate or at least use the same station. The idea had evidently never occurred to the village man, for, holding up both hands, he as- sured his questiOner, with decided en- phasis, that that would never come about. Why" he said, what would become of my stage line?"
