THUNDER.

Odd Beliefs TEaat Used to Ex4st IA
Bags OF Old.
Thunder, Jnst because it is a nolsa
for which there is no visible cause, has
always excited the Imagination of the
unscientific, SO 1t is natural that tile
most outrageous superstitions about
storms should date back to the time
when everybody. more or less, was un-
scientific. One old writer explains tile
belief Of his day that "a storm is said
to follow presently when a company
of hogges runne crying home, on the
ground that 'sa hogge is most dull and
of melancholy nature and so by rea-
son doth foresee the raine that com
eth Leonard Digges, in his Prog
nostication Everlasting" 1856, men
tions that thunder in the morning
signifies wind; about noon, rain, and in
the evening, a great tempest"
The same writer goes on to say,
"some write (but their ground 1 see
not that Sundays thunder should
bring the death of learned men. Judges
and others; Mondays, the death Of
women; Tuesdays, plenty of grain;
Wednesdays, bloodshed; Thursdays,
plenty of sheep and corn; Fridays, the
slaughter of a great man and other
horrible murders; Saturdays, gen
eral pestilent plague and great dearth."
After this the gay and lightsome man
ner shown by Lord Northampton to-
ward these grave matters in his 'tDe-
fensative" is most cheering. ut
chaunceth sometimes" he writes, ito
thunder about that time and season OF
the years when swannes hatch their
young, and yet no doubt 1t is d para
dox Of simple men to think that a
swanne cannot hatch without crackls
of thunder. London Chronicle.

DICKINSON HAS The PULL.


In political circules for the. past few
days one of the principal subjecls of dis
cussion has been the appointment of JOS
eph Guisto, of Hoboken, as the third
member of the Hudson County Board
for the Equalization of Taxes. Mr..
Guisto, is well known lieutenant of
Col. Dickinson, Secretary of State and
Hudson's Republican leader. The APP
pointment of course. was made by the
Governor. The Lost Idea" men had
been boasting that the Colonel had lost
his pull with the Governor. The Colo
nel's term expires soon. 1t is argued by
many that the appointment of Guisto to
the County Tax Board presages the re-
appointment of the Colonel as Secretary
of State.

Washington, Nov. 30.-"It would ap

Zier. chief of the ordnance department
who for the past two years, aided by
secret bureau, has been studying tho
subject
Aerial warships, armed with explo
sives more deadly than any previously
known, will, it is expected, soon be IN

This new weapon of destruction il
the discovery of the governments ex

most powerful explosive the world has
ever known, far surprising lyddite
jovite. dynamite and other high power
destroyers. The new destroyer is espe
cially adapted for use in coasunctioT
with aerial war engines.
Perfectins Aerial Shells Aim.
When The Hague conference next
meets it is expected that General Gro
zier will be able to say that such prog
ress has been made that it will be
practicable for explosives to be drop
ped with aim so accurate that only the
destruction of Red Cross hospitals
churches, seminaries and all the estab
lishments usually immune in time OF
bombardment will be prevented.
The bureau of ordnance ard forti1
cation, the most powerful board in the
war department has been in touch
with the Wright brothers in Dayton
whose experiments with aeroplanes
have caused much speculation. The
government is convinced that ths
Wrights have made great progress
While General Crozier viii not discuss
the Negotiations with the Wrights, he
said
You may simply say that it is now
up to the y, right brothers to sag
whether the government shall take
their invention. They know the gov.
ernments attitude and have its offer"
Government Watching Airsfirs.
Aside from the negotiation with ne
Wright brothers this bureau has had
secret agents in all parts of Europe in
touch with the workers in every line
in the field of aerial navigation. The
government knows exactly what prog
resS has been made and where the
most valuable work has been done
AS to the high power explosive, this
is one Of the governments pet secrets.
Naturally its component parts are jeal-
ously guarded, but the government
views the discovery as one OF far
reaching Importance, far surpassing
even the terrific agents OF destruction
already known.
AT The Hague peace conference
there'was proposition to prohibit the
dropping or ejecting OF explosives
from war balloons or alrships.
General Crozier was a delegate, and
with this discovery in view he opposed
the plan to enter into any such agree
ment, and it was not adopted.
