Predicting Frost.

The coming of a white frost, that en-
envy of the farmer and gardener, no
man can foretell to a certainty. Pre-
ventives Of disaster have been de-
vised, some of them of value, but there
is need of an instrument as accurate in
its indications as the barometer. An
ingenious device for foretelling early
in the evening whether there is to be or
not to be frost during the following
night has been perfected by French
meteorologist. In recent number Of
La Nature, published in Paris, this in
strument, called a "pagoscope," from
the Greek pages, frost, and skopein, to
discover, is thus described:
It carries two thermometers, one wet
and the other dry, fixed on the same
board, which also bears tablet divided
by horizontal lines corresponding to de-
grees of the dry thermometer In front
OF this is pointer whose point traverses
a graduated scale corresponding to the
indications of the wet bulb thermometer.
To utilize the apparatus, sorae time be-
fore sunset it is fastened to an isolated
post ABOUT twenty 1ncneS ABOVE the sur
face of the ground. After about half an
hour the dry and wet bulb thermometers
are in equilibrium, and the observation
may be proceeded with To make it, after
noting the temperature marked by the wet
bulb thermometer the movable pointer is
brought to the corresponding figure on
the scale to which it points. Then, read
ing the temperature as indicated by the
dry thermometer to see whether or not
frost is to be expected in the course of the
night, it is only necessary to see in what
point the horizontal line corresponding to
this temperature meets the movable point
er.
If this point Of intersection is found
within the zone colored red on the tablet
frost is certain; If it is in the green, no
frost is to be feared; If it is in the yellow
zone, there is danger Of FROST
The pagoscope accomplishes it's pur-
pose by ascertaining whether the point
where the deposition of moisture from
the atmosphere begins is near and
whether the temperature is sufficiently
low to CONCEAL it. The grower of
plants will be the more jealous about
protecting the tender shoots from the
weather if he knows with reasonable
certainty that there is danger in the
air.

The Cost of Great Enterprises.

1t is estimated that the Simplon
tunnel, which will open new routes
from Italy to the North sea, will in
volve an expenditure of $4,000, 900,
which is not one-third of the cost of
the New York subway. The projected
new subways in New York city will
cost $250,00O,0OO, a sum greater than
that called for by the estimates for the
Panama canal should it be cut to the
sea level.
The subways in New York are only
a part of the great enterprises project
ed and under way in that city, some
Of them private, as the great railway
improvements in terminals. The fig
ures for these are $3.50, 100000 and,
with improvements scheduled in Chi
cago at cost Of $3.50, 100000, mean an
outlay for two cities of about SOC, OOO,-
600, the most of the sum to be provid-
ed from private and corporate re-
sources. These works, like those of
national and international importance
now attracting public attention, are
destined to create values proportionate
to the princely sums invested in them.

A local German annalist has dug up
what he and his countrymen believe to
be the origin of the tune Of yankee

Hessian band in the Revolution led to
its introduction into America.

John Bull and the North Sea Verdict
The growing Britisher got in his last
say on the Equity but blameless'' YER
dict Of the North sea commission in
the press OF the country, and the usual
growl is apparent even when yelled
under sober language. Such express
sions as 1.-The verdict is in favor of
England" ''Substantial justice has
been DONE" and ut establishes the
British case" are coupled with the re-
dection that the rights of neutrals
were vindicated by the findings of the
court and that the example set will
tend to limit the number of wars in
the future.
On the other hand, the London Chron-
icle thinks that as England is ''the
first maritime nation" she will have
the most to suffer if blunders on the
high seas are to be excused on the
simple plea Of error in judgment by a
naval commander, and the Times hints
IAAStC IAA1SoAlSA Oll1lOlS Gall lIlAc care u
themselves if the go-as-you- please
method Of opening fire is to prevail
under international sanction. The
American expatriate who edits the
Pail Mall Gazette takes the opportu-
nifty to say that for folks deadly in
earnest" the British government and
people are uncommonly easily satisfied
if they accept the verdict with salts
faction. Pretty much the whole world
sympathized with the English indigna-
ton at the time Of the North sea Incl
dent, but no thinking man, outside of
Great Britain at least, supposed that
Admiral Rojestvensky's action in firing
upon the trawlers would result in sum-
mary punishment for anybody concern
ed in the outrage. Military necessity
claims and must be allowed a wide
range of application.

The Rush Of Immigrants.

During the first month Of spring TO-.
900 immigrants landed at New York
in one day, and, while this was excep-
tonal, the arrivals for the week num-
bered 10000 would be settlers in the
new world. OF course many of the
applicants will be rejected, but the
prospect is good for an addition to our
population Of 100000 foreigners dur
ing the year.
1t is assumed offhand that the fields
Of the interior which formerly invited
the newcomers in great swarms are
now occupied and that the immigrants
will settle in districts already longest
ed. While there are no great areas of
vacant lands, there is still land to be
had, and the immigrants will find it in
the course Of time. Many families will
settle in the cities, but the men, as a
rule, seek and find employment where
new developments are going on. They
save their wages, and the best of them
take up farming Our great railroads
were built by immigrants who put
their earnings into land. If immigrants
come here with the intention of work
ing for hire they soon discover that
the surest road to independence is
farming. The outskirts of great cities
attract the immigrant laborers who
have families because there they find
patches Of land for gardening. They
till the vacant lots, women and chill
dren doing the work while the men are
away earning money. The next step
is to get some hens, and in time the
ambition is to have some acres. Land
ownership is a proposition beyond the
dreams Of the new immigrants of the
lowest type, but it does not take long
for them to discover that in this coun-
try one may begin in a small way and
add to his possessions

The American or the French woman
never allows herself to be daunted by
the fact that she has not been en-
dowed by nature with good looks or a
good figure. She dresses as carefully
carries herself as grandly, as her beau
tiful sisters and indeed assumes rather
more OF an air than they. with the
happy result that America and France
seem to have no i'll dressed and no
really plain or ungraceful daughters

fancy we are altogether hopeless I'M
less we have good material on which
to work.-London World
