Reains With prlzzIe

The rain which fell in Los Angeles
began with a drizzle about 10 o'clock
Friday night. BY midnight this driz-
zle had apparently exhausted itself in
trying to muster weight enough to fall.
It proved to be sort of skirmish arr
ranged as preliminary to the advance
of the main force. Between IL o'clock,
midnight, and o'clock yesterday MORN
ing the precipitation wac 1.69 inches.
To say that the city got good drench~
ing is putting it mildly, The water
fairly romped down the hills and
through the valleys, covering streets,
blocking crossings, filling culverts ana
washing the smooth pavements clean.
All this was done while the city's popu-
latlon slept.
According to Local Forecaster Frank
mi Los Angeles was visited by south
western extension Of the storm which
was noted on the upper coast the day
before, and which in fact spent nearly
all Of the last few days Of the old year
loa6ng along between the lake region
and the British boundary.

HEAVY RAIN ALL
As PARTING GIFT
SOUTHERN VALLEYS DELUGED
BY DOWNPOUR
Storm God Remembers Los Angeles
~ With New Years Present.
Nearly Two Inches Fall
Recorded

Just as parting gift the elements
opened up their stores of benevolence
early yesterday morning and before the
last day of the old year had been point
ed half it's way by the hands of the
dial 1.69 inches of rain had fallen in
Los Angeles and vicinity.
All over Southern California the val
leys were deluged with a bountiful
downpour. The leaves and dry twigs
that ratified a metallic chorus to the
signing winds were made to discard
the harsh brittleness of their voices and
droop in limp and refreshing silence.
The sortie of the storm gods forces
was followed by warm sunshine in the
afternoon that almost made the noun
tain sides and valleys turn green with
envy on the spot In spots the sky
canopy was dull gray and golden, indi-
eating that no decisive battle between
natures great forces had been fought
And hence the weather prophet uttered
more reservations than facts, insofar
as the dying day of the dying year was
concerned. That it might rain again
before midnight when bells and whis-
ties would announce that new calendars
could be put in commission, the weather
man freely admitted. He was likewise
emphatic in saying that there was
probability that it would not rain again
before the birth of the New Year
All signs indicated that the forces Of
g.
days, at least, but it is not safe to say
that the line has been withdrawn too
far for a quick and telling dash down
on the valleys again in short space of
time

Cure TO Stay Cured.

Wapello, Iowa, Sept. 11th Especially
One of the most remarkable cures
ever recorded in Louisa County is
that of Mrs. Minnie Hart of this place.
Mrs. Hart was in bed for eight
months and when she was able to sit
up she was all drawn up on one side
and could not walk across the room.
Dodd's Kidney Pills cured her. Speak
ing of her cure, Mrs. Hart says:
Yes, Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me
after ! was in bed for eight months
and know the cure was complete for
that was three years ago and | have
not been down since. In four weeks
from the time | started taking them
| was able to make my garden. No.
body can know how thankful | am to
be cured or how much | feel | owe
to Dodd's Kidney Pills"
This case again points out how
much the general health depends OF
the Kidneys. Cure the Kidneys with
Dodd's Kidney Pills and nine-tenths
of the suffering the human family is
heir TO, will disappear.

He Wanted Music Anyway.

Thomas Sellers, noted double bass
player of Boston, was engaged to
play for Hibernian picnic at one of
the harbor resorts, and was ordered
to be at a certain wharf to take the
boat. The morning of the picnic was
cold and rainy and Mr.. Sellers at first
hesitated about going, but later put
the rubber cover over his bass and
started.
Arriving at the wharf, he found that
he was the only member of the orches-
ira foolish enough to start, and had
about made up his mind to return
when he noticed a small Irishman
with a long Prince Albert coat, big
badge and tall hat coming toward him
in the rein
Swelling with pride, and disappoint
ed at not fndiug crowd to show his
authority, he acYosted Sellers in the
following manner: Are you one OF
the musichanes?"
II am" was the response.
We'll, I'm one of the com -mit-tee
and | want you to take the skin off
hat thing and give us thupe.'

RUSSIANS FOND OF READING.
Copies of Popular Books Sell Into the
Millions.

People here are so accustomed to
,egard Russia as an illiterate land,
says the London Telegraph, that they
will probably be surprised to learn
that a popular book at a low price
has been known to reach a sale of
100000 copies within a few months
of its appearance. Such is the avid
ity with which the Slav reader seizes
upon what appeals to him. In no
other country, moreover, have writers
been called upon to suffer for their
literary opinions as in Russia. The
story of many of them is a veritablc
martyrdom. Novikoff, the first mod
ern writer, whom the Metropolitan of
Moscow termed "the best Christian he
ever knew" was imnured for fifteen
years in the Schluesselberg, and came
out a broken man. LabZin was i'm
prisoned and exiled. Radischeff in
exile ended his own life by suicide.
Rylcef was hanged with five other
lesser writer's by Nicholas |. Pushlin
would have died in exile but for being
killed in a duel, and Lermontoff was
also killed when in exile, at the age
of n. Odoevskiy was broken by
twelve years hard labor in a Siberian
convict prison. Polezhaeff was con-
demned to 1000 strokes with the has
tinado and twenty-five years service
in a penal regiment and a similar fate
was reserved for Shevchenko. The
list could be extended to cover page
or two.

Wanted Trick PLAYED AGAIN.

A traveller entered the dining room
of leading hotel in Colorado Springs
the other day and, after he was served
with soup he drew a two-dollar bill
from his pocket and showed 1t to the
waiter, saying:
Jim, shall be here until next Wed
nesday night and then this will DC

"All right, sir, III take the best care
of you, sure" replied the waiter.
And he did serve the traveller ex
cellently. 1t happened that on Wed
nesday morning the traveller was hast
lily summoned to Denver and Ii was
six weeks before he returned to the
Colorado Springs hotel. Presently his
former waiter, whom he had forgotten
along with the incident. came up tc

FRUITFUL FURNACES
INTENSE HEAT PRODUCES

Scientists Have Succeeded in Pluck
ing Real Diamonds and Rubies from,

Recent advices from France state
that Prof Moissan, the eminent sci

been so improved that degree Of
heat can be produced. approaching the

the earth.
The rubies obtained are Of large
size, weighing 10 or Is carats, and in
quality and color equal and even sur
pass those found in the earth. The
natural forces attending the formation
of diamonds seem TO have been more
complicated, and so far the diamonds
resulting from the efforts of the sci
entists have been very small, but still
they are positively identified as the
carbon crystalline diamond. They
are remarkably clear and bright, and
on small scale as fine specimens as
natures own product.
The electric furnace has enriched
chemistry with a whole series OF
new compounds. Probably the one of
most value to mankind at large is Cal

tion of water to Calcium Carbide gen
crates the gas Acetylene, which is
now being commonly used for light.

ORIGIN OF THE srArE.Room.
Mississippi River Captain The First TO
Introduce Idea

Introduce Idea.
According to Representative Aldrich
of Alabama. the origin Of the term
"state-room" was on this wise:
Down In Louisiana is the thriving
city of Shreveport. The man after
whom the city was named was old
Capt. Shreve. who used to run some
of the finest craft that ever carried
the travelling public up and down the
Mississippi river. Capt. Shreve was a
progressive sort of old fellow. and he
believed in giving the passengers the
best possible appointments: and his
boats were the most luxurious that
were ever piloted on the famous water
thoroughfare. There used to be ordi.
nary hunks on the line, the crudest
kind of berths. Shreve made up his
mind that something better WAS de.
manded, and that the more luxurious
night travel was made the more traf.
fic there would be on his liners. So
he had a number of rooms built on his
boats for night travellers. Then the
idea suggested itself to him that in.
stead of numbering the rooms he
would give each of them name. This
was done forthwith. He was patri
otic soul and he named the rooms
after the great commonwealths
through which the Father of Waters
travelled. There, for instance, was
the Mississippi room, the Arkansas
room, the Louisiana room, the Mis-
souri, room and so on down the list oil
states. In booking these names foi
passengers he called them state
rooms, hence the now universal ex
preston. Mariners Advocate.
