To Prognosticate Storms.

Ry means of a delicate instrument
called the ceraunograph, Rev. Freder-
lex L. Odersbach, professor Of chemis-
try in st. Ignatius' college, in Cleve-
land, O., is able to foretell many hours
the numerous summer storms which
come up. often on bright, warm, clear
days, with startling rapidity, and with
dire results to the small craft along
the sea coast and on inland waters.
The action of the ceraunograph Is
simple and easily understood by any
one acquainted with an ordinary tele-
graph system with relay. The initial
action precedes the advent of the
storm from one to thirty-six hours. AS
the electric disturbance advances the
coherer is very busy, soon producing
a continuous band record, while the
decoherer keeps up constant clatter,
which finally becames deafening.-Ex-

Local Parcels Post Proposed.

Rural mail carriers may soon
have to get bay windows or rear
extensions put on their mail wagons.
The postmaster general has made
the following recommendation to
congress:
with the establishment of rural
mail delivery and the increasing ex-
tension of rural telephone service
by private interests, there has
grown up demand by the patrons
of the rural service for the delivery
of small packages of merchandise,
such as foOdstuffs, tobacco, dry
goods, drugs, etc., on an order to
the local merchant by postal card,
telephone, or otherwise. The value
OF these packages Of merchandise
is usually small and the present
rate OF postage of a cent per ounce
is practically prohibitive. The
patron or merchant cannot afford
to pay Is cents for delivery of a
pound of coffee or tobacco. or
similar article, but if a special rate
were established on such matter
from the distributing Office for the
delivery to any patti on on the rural
route from that Office it would be a
great convenience to the patrons
and become a source of revenue in
the department..
1T is therefore recommended for
the consideration of congress that a
rate of cents per pound, or any
other fractional part thereof, be
authorized for packages of books or
merchandise. not exceeding 5
pounds, mailed at the distributing
postofice of rural free delivery
route for delivery to a patron on
said route. This rate should apply
only to packages deposited at the
local postoffice for delivery to
patrons on routes emanating from
that Office and not to mail trans
mitted from one Office to another.
The rate of cents per pound
would be ample remuneration for
the department, because there is no
expense for railway transportation,
the system by which these packages
are to be delivered is already es-
tablished, and such delivery would
entail no additional expense upon
the department. A special stamp
could be provided for this class OF
mail matter"

WIFE AND CHILD
AND MONEY GONE
If Charles Dubbeck Could Get the
Two Latter Back the Former
Might stay Away.

Chicago, JAM 1O.-Charles Dobbeck,
q teamster for the Gottfried Brewing
company, awoke in the morning to
find that his wife, his 5-year-old daugh-
ter, and $500, the savings of more
than twenty years, had disappeared.
Descriptions have been given to the
police of the Canalport avenue sta
ton, but no clew has been obtained.
Dobbeck and his wife had been re
siding for thirteen years at SO Ruble
street. Their life, he says, has been
happy.
Not only has she taken my saw
ings, but she has been borrowing
money right and left from the neigh
bors recently" he said. "They are
now besieging me with claims Of from
$5 to $40 each. She left me cents.
How can l pay her debts? 1 believe
she had planned this escapade, al
though 1 never suspected it. Our
daughter. whom she evidently took, is
fond of me. If l could only get the
daughter and the money back would
be content to lose my wife, though
we have never had any trouble"

A Story on Horace Greeley.

An acquaintance met Greeley one
day and Isaid: 'Mr. Greeley, I've
stopped your paper" Have you?"
said Horace" Well, that's too bad"
and the old white hat went it's way.
The next morning Greeley met his
subscriberI again, 'cand said: Il
thought you stopped the TribuneY

some mistake" said Horace, ''for I
Just came from the office and the
presses were running, the clerks
were as busy as ever, the compost
tors we're hard at work, and the
businessIwas!going on the same as
yesterdaysnand the day before. >
"Oh!" CALCULATED the subscriber, II
didn't mean that had stopped the
paper, I stopped only my copy OF it
because I didn't like your editor
ials." ''Pshaw!" retorted Greeley,
cit wasn't worth taking up my
time to tell me such a trifie as that.
Ny dearIsir, if you expect to con-
troll the utterances of the Tribune
by the purchase of one copy day,
or if you think to find any newspa-
per worth reading that will never
express convictions at right angles
with your own, younare doomed to
disappointment"

Telephone Rules.

A correspondent who signs her.
self Hello Girl" has sent the fol-
lowing list of telephone rules
with request that they be publish
ed
If you have a telephone in your
office or store, call up central" and
then go and wait on a customer.
Take your time in answering
your bell or what is better, do not
answer it at all, but in about a half
hour ring up and ask who called
you and get mad if central" has
forgotten who it was. She has
nothing else to do but remember.
Hang up your receiver big end up
as IN this way it gets full of dust.
Bang the transmitter with a lead
pencil as though you intend to
knock it through the wall. This
invariably makes 1t talk better.
When through talking drop the
receiver or throw it down. This
allows the batteries to run out and
breaks thel strands in the receiver
cord.
Open the generator box with a
knife or an AK and take a look at
things. If the interior does not
look right pull out a few wires and
leave the door open. This improves
the service wonderfully.
Throw a metal inkstand, etc !,
on top of the telephone which will
short circuit your instrument, then
go to sleep and no one can call you.
Never ring off" when through
talking as that would notify ''cen-
tral' you had finished. Let her
guess at it.
Never speak kindly to the opera
tor, as she is more used to being
called names.
If the party you call does not an
swer put the blame on central.
Paste this on your telephone for
future reference.

About Pensions.

Since the close Of the civil war

the government of the United
States for pensions. This includes
soldiers, sailors, widows, minor
children and other dependent rela-
tives, and 1926, 06S of those per-
sons have, at one time or anoth er,
drawn pensions from the treasury.
The highest number of pensioners,
500, 446IIwere on the rolls in 1902
who received a total Of Sal, 1885,
646.95, which was an average Of
$1.7O per capita Of the population of
the country. But the pension system
was the greatest burden to the peo-
pie in 1898, when $500 pension
ers drew $161, IA, 1872. SO, or $2.44
perfcapita of our population. The
amount of money paid for pensions
is gradually decreasing and the as
sessed valuation of property in the
United States is rapidly increasing
so that today it costs SLIT per cap

sion bill, which amounts to 81

United States. { On account of the

CRITICISM FOR MANN
Members Of His Committee Do
Not Approve of the Episode
with Bacon.
PRIVATE CAR LINES ATTACKED
Witness Who Says They Can Break
Men, Firms and States, and
That Ruin Is Fast
Approaching.

Washington, Jan. 10. - The inter-
state committee of the house continued
it's hearings on bills to further restrict
the carriers. Lowering Of Massachu-
setts, member of the committee. at
the outset protested against the man
ner in which e. p. Bacon, chairman of
the interstate commerce law conven-
ton, had been Intercepted by Mann at
the last session. He charged that the
questions were entirely too personal,
and did not bear on the merits of the
Cooper uarles' bill under considera
ton. 1t was, he said, a matter of lit
tie consequence to him whether he
was one of the four men accused of
holding up bill. What he wanted was
questions asked witnesses which would
elicit facts.
Il absolutely disclaim," he vigorous
ly asserted, ANY part or parcel in the
manner of questioning that was fol-
lowed at the last session of the COM
mittee"
''Aand am disposed to agreed with
YOU" interjected Richardson of Ala.

Down on Private Car Lines.
George /. Mead, member of the
National League of Commission Mer-
chants, of Boston, and also of the BOs-
ton Fruit Growers Exchange, then
took the stand and complained of what
he called the inroads made into his
business by the so-called private car
lines. These lines, he said, have
grown to such an extent that the car
line company known as Armour & Co.
practically control the price of perish
able food commodities in this country.
Says They Can Bankrupt States.
No line of business, he declared, per-
haps suffered SO much from the ex-
ecution of the abuse of private car
lines" as did that which he represent
ed. He maintained that Armour &
CO. were operating without license, and
said he could not see why they had
1.-The right to prey upon OUT business
and hold US up by the throat and de-
mand whatever they see fit" These
private car lines. he said, can break
men, and even states by their traffic
rates.
Business on the Point of Ruin.
A general discussion followed re-
garding the powers invested in the In
terested commerce commission to fix
rates by the Cooper uarles bill. Mead,
replying to question by Mann, said
that on account of freight rates bus1-
ness interests of the country were not
only On the point of ruin, but that very
many business houses had been ruined.
