following as directors for the ensuing year:

Hanna, Indianapolis The annual report
was published in the Journal March last. 1t
showing that the loss in operating the road
in net earnings was 1925 more than in the
year 1901, which was attributed to the very
low rates at which coal was carried during
the year and to the increase in wages of
employees. The roadbed and equipment
were fully maintained and the putting in
of number of long passing tracks, of
which the road was greatly in need. was
begun and is now in progress. On a por-
ton of the outstanding bonds q high rate
of interest is still paid, but it goes largely
into the treasury of the Pennsylvania,

Joseph Ramsey. president of the Wabash
and the Wheeling & Lake Erie, makes the
important announcement that a decision
has been made to push the Pittsburg &
Lake Erie eastward from Pittsburg to Bal
timore without delay. The route originally
planned by which the Wabash system
should reach Baltimore was by an extern
sion of the Wheeling & Lake Erie south
ward to connection with the Little Kan
awha road. in West Virginia, which was to
be extended to meet the West Virginia Cen
trail; but it was announced week ago that
work on the Little Kanawha extension had
been partly suspended, in consequence Of
enforced delay in the building of the neces-
sary bridge across the Ohio river, and that
Ii would be probably two years before this
route could be opened to traffic.
Only a day or two ago President Ram
sey gave ii as his belief that the extension
of the Wheeling & Lake Erie from Steu-
benville, O.. into Pittsburg would be COM
pleted before the end of the var. The ex-
tension now planned from Pittsburg to the
seaboard and Baltimore Will give much
shorter route than that by way of the Lit
burg TO Beiington, w. ", Ito miles, Will
be construction. The West Virginia
Central extends from Belington to Cum
berland Md. Between Cumberland and
Cherry Run. W. va. is a gap of sixty
miles, but the right of way has been OBJ
tanned and the line is now being surveyed.
From Cherry Run to Baltimore the West
ern Maryland tracks will be used.
With the completion of this extension the
Gould system will extend from Baltimore
to Salt Lake City-almost across the CONT
nent. 1t is understood that plans are being
perfected to extend largely the present
terminal facilities OF the Western Maryland
in Baltimore. to meet the requirements of
the greatly increased traffic expected.

WEATHER PROPHETS.

Blow out a candle, and if the wick
continues long to smolder look for bad
weather. II it goes out quickly, the
weather viii be fair.
The twelve days after Christmas in
dicate the weather for the following
year. Each day in order shows the
weather for one month.
When it begins to snow, notice the
size Of the fakes. If they are very
fine, the storm will be a long one; if
large, the storm Will soon be over.
If the chickens come out while it
rains, it is sign that the storm is to
be a long one. If they stand around
under the shed, the storm will be short.
When the cattle lie down as soon as
they are turned out to pasture in the
morning, it is because they feel a rheu-
matte WEAKNESS in their bones, and you
can look for rain soon.
When a night passes and no dew
falls, it IS a sign it IS going to rain.
This omen loses much Of its mystery
when one remembers that dew has not
fallen because the night was clouded.
When you see the sun drawing water
at night, know that it will rain on the
morrow. The sun is said to be draw.
ing water when its rays can be seen
shining through riffs in distant clouds.

USE OF FALSE TEETH.

Two Millions Manufactured Annual
Iy In the United States.
Probably not less than 100000 arti-
fetal teeth are manufactured in this
country each year, and still the output
goes on increasing. Never before was
such great care manifested for teeth as
has been exhibited during the past five
gears. In this respect Americans lead
the world, not even the fastidious
French excelling the people Of the
United States In their solicitude for
the preservation of natural teeth and in
their application Of the arts Of dental
science when substitutes have to be
provided for natures molars.
Englishmen are notoriously careless
about their teeth, although IN late
years great progress has been made in
this matter.
A prominent dentist Of New York de-
clares that nearly every patient with a
mouthful of decayed teeth is foreign
er. 'They let things drift" he says,
"and come only when pain drives them
here. Americans, and especially south
erners, hasten to their dentist immedi-
ately they detect even the slightest
signs Of coming trouble, and the result
is that there are by far more Saved
teeth in this country than in any other.
EngHshmen and Irishmen are remark
ably apathetic about their molars and
Will so about for years with hopelessly
decayed teeth."-New York Times.

Gluck In a Frenzy.

When Gluck composed his immortal
works, a bottle Of champagne was al
ways placed on either side Of the piano,
and it's eferrescence helped to inspire
the great artas Of "Iphigenia,' "Arnli-
da' and "Alceste." When the final re-
hearsals were held Of the 'Iphigenia,' %
Gluck had not yet written the melody
to the dance Of the Scythians." Ma
Terre, the ballet master, becoming IN
easy over the delay, went to him one
morning to urge him to hurry it up.
As he entered the composers anteroom
he heard unusual and terrific noises
emalating from Gluck's library. He
approached stealthily and through a
crack in the door saw Gluck in shirt
sleeves, his face as red as fire and dis
torted by horrible grimaces, singing,
gesticulating and jumping about like 9
madman. Naverre, frightened by the
extraordinary spectacle, pushed the
door open. "Ah, there you are" ex-
claimed .Gluck. 81 am just finishing
your dance and will let you have it
right away" 1t was then that Gluck
had composed that grand orgy Of the
savages which created such profound
sensation on the stage.

CONCERNING CALENDARS.
Some Interesting Ones Date as Far
Back rs the Fourth Century.

Some Interesting Ones Date as Far
Back rs the Fourth Century.
Among the Greeks and Romans al
manacs or calendars were rot written
for the general public, but were pre-
served as part Of the esoteric learning
Of the priests, whom the people had to
consult not only for the dates Of the
festivals, but for the proper times when
various legal proceedings might be in
stituted. About 800 B. c., however,
one Encius Flavius, secretary to Ap-
plus Claudius, stole these secrets by re-
peated applications to the priests and
collated the information so gained 1t
was really publishing an almanac
when, as Liry relates, Flavius exhibit
ed the tasti on white tables around
the forum. From this time similar
tablets containing the calendar, the
festivals, astronomical phenomena and
sometimes illusions to historical events
became quite common. They have been
dug up in Pompei and elsewhere.
There are also extant Christian cal
endars dating as far back as the fourth
century, which give the names Of the
saints and other religious information.
One Of the most famous of the cal
endars Of the middle ages is that COM
piled by Petrus Of Dacia in A. D. 1900.
A manuscript copy is preserved in the
Savihan library at Oxford. The Sym
bolcal Man or Man Of Signs (Homo
Signorum), still a common feature in
almanacs, appears in this book, not, it
is conjectured, for the first time, as it
seems to have been survival from the
time Of Ptolemy's "Almagesi,'' collec-
ton Of classic observations. and prob
lens relating to geometry and astron-
omy.
The first printed almanac was the
"Pro PIuribus .Annis," issued at Vienna
In 1857 by an astronomer named Pur-
bach. The earliest known almanac de-
voted expressly to the year Of issue
was published by Rabelats in 1888.
Thenceforth the ephemeral yearly
character Of the publication came to be
definitely recognized by almanac max
ers. Nostradamus set the fashion Of
incorporating predictions Of coming
events into almanacs, fashion that
has continued to this day in all purely
astrological brochures Of this sort
despite intermittent efforts to sup
press it by royal authority in France
and elseWhere.-Era.

The valued policy bill has passed both
houses and has become law of South
Dakota. The meaning of this law is that
when man insures for certain amount
and his building burns to the ground,
that the insurance company shall pay
the full amount for which the building
was insured. Under the law as it has
existed heretofore this holder Of policy
under the above given circumstanc noes,
would have to go into court and swear
to the amount of his loss and the insur-
ance companies have generally been
able to make settlement on basis far
below the amount the party had been
paying insurance on. This would seem
like small matter but it has created
more opposition and bigger fight than
any bill which has been presented in the
legislature this winter. This law applies
only to buildings and not to merchan-
disc.

purpose of securing the removal Of Prof.
