EXCITEMENT INTENSE.
All England Wrought Up by Fishing
Fleet Oufra0e.

London, Oct. 24.-.At noon the ex.
citement over the firing ON the British
fishing fleet by the Russian Baltic
squadron in the North sea had become
intense. No other subject is discussed
and the crowds of people excitedly
watching the bulletins are ever in
creasing. The confirmation of the re-
port that another vessel beside the
Crane had been sunk added fuel to the
fire of universal indignation, and the
people are demanding prompt and de-
cisive action. So far nothing has been
given out in official circles other than
the bare facts of the firing on the fish
ing fleet.

THE WEATHER MAP.
Its Preparation Involves a Great Deal
 of Work and Expense.

Prof. s. P. Langley in Scribners
 The weather bureau is now a highly equipped organization under chief, Will lis L. Moore, the officer third in rank in the department. The country is covered with its stations. It's reports. issued twice daily, have come 70 be looked for in every portion of the United States by all the people, whose daily life is to certain extent influenced by them, and the value of its work in the saving of life and shipping on the coasts as we'll as the saw ing to the crops through timely notice of sudden changes such as frosts, etc., is in- calehlable.
 The work which the people know best Is the general forecasts of the weather, which are conducted on the best obtaina- ble system forecasts which, though founded on an order of things as subject to law as the courses of the stars, are far from having yet reached the precision of astronomical science, though the re- suits obtained are unrivalled in their ex- cellenee by those of any other nation. The preparation of the weather map in- wolves the sounding of the heights of the aerial ocean above simultaneously by ob- servers all over the country and the join ing of these sounding stations on the map by contour lines which indicate the drec- tion of that great aerial oceans flow This direction cannot of course be de- termined with anything like the certainty attainabe in the deduction of the path of a star, yet the result, though still a prob ability only, is a very useful one by which we all guide our daily lives. Will it be greatly better for us if 1t Is ever other wise and we come to the time when we know long in advance what the weather will he and this and many other like un- certainties are wiped out from the variety of our daily life?
 These general maps are prepared In the office at Washington from dispatches sent by local offices, and the bureaus use of the telegraph service alone costs $3Oo,- GOO per annum. It distributes in the shape of cards, maps and publications nearly 55, 900, 900 pieces yearly and in cases of spe- cial agricultural industries particularly susceptible to destruction through changes in weather, special services have been established. notably for cotton sugar and rice in the southern states and for fruit and wheat In California.

Parisian French.

From Harpers Bazar.
 The sound of the French language possesses variations almost esoteric in the hidden nature of their being, and. according to the Parisian. these are eve- lastingly beyond the possibility Of imita- tion by the American. Pol Plancon said once to an American who had lived ten years in Paris and speaks French to per- lection in the American colony: Your French causes me unspeakable agony. The matter of fact Is no American can learn to speak French. It Is neither In your soul nor in your vocal organs Penelope (the ten-year-old daughter Of the American, born in Paris and living there uninterruptedy all her life) is just barely tolerable in French. There is something in the United States so an. tagonistic to the utterance of perfect French that after I am over there six months l come back to Paris with my language marred, and l make 1t point to get hack as soon as l can in order not to suffer permanent loss of utterance.

 The feature of the product is that it is still potentially milk-the whole milk and nothing but the milk and to make new milk at any time it is only necessary to add the seven parts of water which have been evapora.Cd.

The powder and cakes keep indefinitely and samples have been sent round the world and kept for three weeks in Shanghai. returning quite fresh.

MILK IN BRICKS.
Solidlfed Cream Now Sold in Chunks
 Through New Process.

From the Sanfrancisco Call.
 The inventors of method by which milk is now being solidhed on a consid- erable scale confidently believe that their discovery will not only abolish the many dangers of the dairy, but will eventually do away with the dairy itself. They are confident that is, that the day of liquid milk is over.
 People who have tried to soldify milk before have employed too low a tempera- ture in their fear of decomposing its fats and sugars, and in consequence have failed. But by the Just-Hatmaker process the liquid milk is whisked round polish ed cylinders kept at a fierce heat by steam and comes off in few seconds in the form of continuous creamy-white sheet five
