HARD WINTER
Foretold by Sea Gulls, According to
Wise Fishermen.

Foretold by Sea Gulls, According to
Wise Fishermen.
Not for more than ten years have
so many gulls been seen in New York
harbor as have gathered this year.
Along the East river, in particular,
there are hundreds, and at the Fulton
Market piers there are always dozens
down and carry off any fish or offal
that is dropped overheard. The I'M
usual number of gulls, say the sailors
along shore, is a sure sign Of a long
and cold winter, as they have been
driven south by unusually cold wealth
er to the north.
Every Thursday, when the fishing
fleet comes in greatest numbers, the
gulls then fly down the bay as far as
Sandy Hook to meet the fishing fleet,
and accompany it all the way UP to
the pier. Then they hover over it,
screaming and swooping down to the
boats as closely as they dare So bold
have some of them become that they
will drop down to the deck of a boat
and seize any fish that may strike their
fancy. They do not keep it long, for
before they have risen many feet the
other birds try to get it away, and
there is a fight in midair among the
gulls, which generally ends in the
stolen fish being dropped into the
water, and picked up by some gull
outside the fight. The birds are more
OF, a nuisance this year than ever. Made
fishermen much trouble. and they
have to stop work every few minutes
to beat the hungry birds off. Last
week there We're over a dozen stunned
or killed by the men striking them
with their forks in beating them away.

FINAL DIVIDEND

The Worlds Columbian Exposition
Of 1893 does not seem to have proved
such an AFFECT financial failure after
all. At the last meeting Of the board
of directors final dividend of 4.65
per cent on the capital stock was
declared.
The dividend is equal to 46k cents
per share, and is payable on March
1. 1904. The transfer books of the
stock company close on Jan. 2, 1904.
The dividend will be paid by check
to stockholders of record on the sec
retary's book. The circular to the
stockholders states that a small sur
plus will remain after paying this div
idend, but that it will be SO small
that it will not pay to divide it. It
IS being retainer to cover cost Of
possible litigation.
All the stockholders are asked to
relinquish their claims upon the sur
plus, so that it may be donated for
some public. object by the board of
directors. The stock is widely distrib-
uted. Many of the certificates are
framed and hung on the walls Of the
owners homes.
The shareholders were paid a div
idend of 81 per share soon after the
exposition closed. With this coming
distribution the return from an i'm
vestment of $40, the cost of each
share, will be $2.46.

Interesting information is contained
in a report to the state department
by United States Consul Jackson at
La Rochelle, France, regarding
Drouillard's drifter balloon float, an
apparatus to land, or the reverse, a
rope by means of which the passen-
gers and crew of a wrecked vessel can
be rescued.
The apparatus is formed of spe-
cially shaped balloon, which tows
float to which is attached rope. The
drifter is connected with the balloon
float by a regulating arrangement, by
means of which, before the drifter is
thrown at sea, an angle of 60 degrees

in practical use it is to be covered
with strong sail tissue in order to be
able to stand heavy seas and contact
with the rock when landing. To use
it one draws the folds apart and it
initiates itself automatically. The
balloon float draws the drifter to a
distance with a speed and strength

Some months ago I determined to
give liquid air a fair and systematic
trial, and was. generously assisted in
doing so by DR.. Thurston G: Lusk and
his associates at the Roosevelt out
patient department and by DR.. George
H. Fox and his assistants at the Van
derbilt clinic.
Liquid air made by the Tripler pro-
cess does not cost anywhere near so
much per gallon as mineral water
retails for on the market to-day. It's
temperature is 312 degrees Fahren-
heit below zero. 1t is a somewhat
opal-colored fluid, and when filtered

phere as seen in the distance on a clear

tacle the fluid is boiling, giving off a
white vapor which rapidly disappears,
the vapor falling toward the ground
because it is so cold; the hand can
be put into the liquid without injury,
if it is Immediately withdrawn. The
liquid feels dry and cold and leaves no
moisture on the hand.
In applying the liquid air to the It's
sues of the human body have used it
in the form of spray and by means of
a swab dipped into the fluid. Within
much less than a minutes time by
means of the spray the part is frozen

tribution Of the milk as will bring it
to the consumer in the form of an abb
solutely pure product. To meet these
requirements is quite beyond the tech
n;cal as we'll as the financial ability
OF the average dairyman. Mr.. Irwin
has spent thousands of dollars in
equipping his Woodlake stock farm
for the production of this high class
milk, and he is already assured of
hearty response from the discriminat-
ing public that wants the best there
is in this line and is willing to pay
for it. He spent $4,000 in: the con

injury to the tissues, providing the
part is not at some extremity, such as
the finger tip, in which case I would
fear loss of tissue, as in the case Of the
rabbits ear. There is no pain in the
application excepting at the very be-
ginning, when there is a slight burn
ing or tingling. 1t also completely
anaesthetizes the part to which it is
applied without freezing it solid.
1 have tried the liquid air in a num-
Der of cases as a local anaesthetic
with invariable success, and another
important advantage it has here is the
absence Of hemorrhage during the
operation enabling the operator to APP
ply the dressing before any
hemorrhage sets in, the dressing then
being sufficient to stop any oozing.
Enough cases Of cancer have: now
been treated with liquid air to demon
strate beyond doubt it's efficiency. The
question arises why or in what way
does liquid air act upon these cases?
The explanation is undoubtedly as fol-
lows: We know that the individual
cells which go to make up epitheleo-
mata are not able to live when sepa-
rated from each other; that is, an iso
lated cell cannot exist, and in the ap
plication of liquid air we freeze the
entire mass; the intercelular sub
stance is frozen and entirely breaks
up, and in this way destroys the nutri-
ton Of the individual cells, which,
having been cut off, desquanate until
the tumor has entirely disappeared.

Among the passengers who arrived
yesterday on the steamship Bluecher
was the Baroness Isabella Won Schell-
endorf, formerly Miss Buntz of
Cleveland. A cable report received
here a few weeks ago said that the
baroness was about to sue her hus-
band for divorce. but the baroness
said on landing from the steamship
that the report was the work of some
malicious person, and that there was
no truth in it.
For the past three and one-half
years." she said, Il have been in
Uganda with my husband, who is a
naturalist. I have returned to spend
the holidays with my family in Cleve-
land, and before returning to the
wilds I will deliver two lectures, one
here and one in Cleveland. on the

busily engaged in collecting odd
things, of which I now have a great
number. In my trunks are human
teeth, war drums which are rubbed
instead of beaten, war spears, bows
and poisoned arrows, and innumer-
able other things. My husband and
have also been engaged in catching
zebras and breaking them to harness.
We have a herd of 400 of them in
Uganda, and the baron is now prepar-
ing to bring about $50 of them here
for exhibition at the ST. Louis exposi-

The baroness drew from her wrist
bag a bundle wrapped in fleece, which
she unrolled, showing an animal
about the size of a gray squirrel, and
which had the head of squirrel, the
legs of a kangaroo and the tail Of a

The delivery of Mr.. TWINS milk
will be under the direction of the

be made Jan. r.. The price of this
milk will be placed at 10 cents per
quart, which is from 2 to cents per
quart below the price charged in
other cities for the same grade Of

be a considerable demand for this
