A case involving the question OF whether
a woman's belt is a useful article or a per-

Of three general appraisers yesterday in
an opinion written by General Appraiser
T. 8. Sherretts. Il was held that belts

pealed from the decision on the ground
that the belts were not jewelry. but useful
articles Of metal and as such dutiable at IS
Der cent OF their value. The opinion says
that belts when composed Of precious

Queer Way to Catch

the queerest way to catch birds when
| was in Siwanganga, in India, last
year." said traveller. "A native sat
behind bushes in which were con-
cealed a number Of nets, one smaller
than the other, and the smallest one
hung with snoods Of horsehair The
man was initiating bird calls and do
ing 1t very we'll indeed-so well that
the birds were futtering from all
points to see what was going on.
"But, good as his limitations were,
they were not good enough to lure
the birds into the nets. They merely
fitted around just in front of the cone
cealed hunter, and | wondered what
he would do. The answer came in the
shape of zebu, which appeared sud
denly out of the bushes and headed
straight toward the birds, which In
their haste to get out of the way
darted into the bushes where the nets
we're spread. Then saw that the
zebu was being driven by another ma
tive, and they told me that the animal
often drove as many as half hundred
birds into the net at once"

their lives. Then there will not be

For EoreteIIIna Weather.

The weather forecaster has a new
instrument which tells the amount OF
aqueous vapor in approaching winds.
The old wet and dry bulb thermom'
eters have proven entirely unreliable,
SO that accurate observation has re.
quired apparatus too elaborate for or
binary use. The new "aquameter," a
simple instrument, therefore fills an
urgent need. The opening and shut
tings of two taps and raising and low
ering Of mercury reservoir draw a
measured quantity of air into a glass
vessel, and as this comes in contact
with anhydrous phosphoric acid the
water is quickly absorbed, causing the
mercury to rise in a narrow glass stem
to point showing the exact percent
age Of aqueous vapor in the air.

shaft at Coaldale, w. Va. we're prob
ably instantly killed by an explosion
that took place there. Three white
men and eighteen colored men we're
entombed and no hope is held out
that any Of them escaped death. The
explosion was of terrific force and
caused intense excitement throughout
the surrounding country, many people
believing an earthquake had occur
red. The mining cars and most of
the property used In the mines are
supposed to have been blown to
pieces.
One man was brought out He was
Fl. G. Conrad, and his body was lit
orally torn to pieces. His clothing
was hanging in shreds.
Up to late hour no other bodies
had been recovered. There was much
smoke and gas in the entries and not
withstanding the fact that the big
fans were in good order and were
working with full capacity the gas
and smoke were not being driven out
very fast.
The Coaldale shaft is owned and
operated by the Cooper Brothers, who
