THE FLOUR MARKET
IMPROVEMENT NOTED-FIRST CLEARS
QUOTED FIRMER.

The situation shows general improvement and
all millers report better inquiry and the prom
companies makes the situation about the
same to trie better, the other two finding i'm
provement enough to make it decidedly better.
No export business can be done except in very
small way in special brands, but domestic trade
is improving. Prices firm quoted. Millers
do not quite agree in the matter of first clears
and some variation is noted, but the contention
is that this grade has been too low compared
with the others and should be 15c to 25c closer
to first patents than has been the case. Second
clears are unchanged and in only fair demand.

Canadian Pacific Road Sc
! cure Large Sum.

Winnipeg, Man., Sept. 13. At $3.50
Saturday night the Canadian Pacific
west-bound continental express was held
up by four masked men. The hold
up occurred ~ miles west Of Mission
Junction in a wooded district. Three
Of the men crawled over the tender of
the locomotive and at the point of re-
volvers ordered Engineer Scott to stop
the train. They left one man to guard
the engineer, the others taking the fire.
man with them. They compelled the
fireman to uncouple the mail and ex-
press car, the fourth standing guard over
the train and Conductor Warrell, who
attempted to go forward when the train
stopped. The robbers then proceeded
with engine and express cars several
miles west. Express Messenger Herbert
Mitchell at first refused to open the car
door, but N being informed that the
car would be blown up with dynamite,
of which they had a quantity, he COM
piled, vas disarmed and forced to open
the safe. They secured 1000 or S., 900
in gold dust and about 81, 900 in currency.
The mail clerks were similarly COM
PEELED to open the mail car, which was
rif1ed of the contents of registered mail
sacks. The engine, express and mail car
was then run to a point east of Warnoch,
where the robbers took to the woods.
None of the passengers were molested.

NO STRIKE IN TWO YEARS.
Record of Locomotive Firemen-Ninth
Biennial Convention in Session
at Buffalo.

Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. 10. The ninth
biennial convention of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen was called to
order here Monday by John ]. Hanna
han, grand master of the order. Two
executive sessions will be held daily and
it is expected the convention will occupy
two weeks. Seven hundred delegates
were present and at least 300 more are
expected.
The report of the grand master, read
at a public session held in the evening,
showed that the organization is in a
prosperous condition; that in the past
two years there has not been a strike Of
firemen on any road on which the
brotherhood is organized, all differences
having been settled without delay. Dur
ing the year ended on June 80, $50 lodges
were organized. Since the organization
was founded ST. Al ,165 has been paid to
members and their families for death
and disability claims During the year
ended June 80, the receipts of the order
were 81 1858, 801, and the disbursements
SLOT, $50.
An important question to be consid-
cred is the removal of the headquarters
Of the order from Peoria, ILL.,, to Buffalo.

WHEN THE AIR IS MOIST.
The Question Of "Humidity" Is One
That Is II ecc1hiniccaa1Ts ana HutsIfs
tie Understood.

While it has been the aim Of the
officials of the weather bureau to
get the best possible instruments
for. registering the temperature
and making the predictions of
weather present and to come,"it
is said that no thermometer is per-
feet, and that no two thermome.
tiers register exactly alike, states
the Washington Star. ~
This is the reason given: by
weather bureau officials for the
difference in temperature noteda at
the weather bureau and thatregis.
tered by thermometers in the pos.
session of private citizens.
According to Prof. Garriott
neither the weather bureau nor it's
official thermometer is, as many
suppose, any material height
above the city. The Thermometers,
according to Prof. Garriott, il
probably 40 feet higher than those
on the city streets, but this, it is
said, is not great enough to affect
the mercury to any noticeable de-.
gree.
Prof. Garriott says that. the
question of humidity" is one
which frequently agitates the
mind of people during the summer,
but that it is so technical in it's ma.
ture that hardly one person in ten
understands what it all means
when an authority dissertates on
the subject. j
For this reason little is given
out officially at the weather bu.
reau. 1t is disposed to confine it,
self to the mere statement of tenn.
perature.
After a rain in summer time,
when everyone is declaiming
about the sickness of the atmos.
phere, it is because the air retains
all the moisture it has absorbed
and there is no means of cooling
the atmosphere. On the contrary,
when it is dry the heat may be:
greater, but the moisture is evap.
grated, and in that process the air
is really cooled. 1t is on the same
principle, Prof. Garriott said, as
the cooling air Of the morning,
when the dew from the grass evap.
crates and materially cools the
air.
1t is not, therefore, the purpose
of the weather bureau to attempt
to make plain to the general public
the question of humidity. Prof.
Garriott says it is a thing which
must be studied thoroughly in or.
der to be understood.
