tiers.
Herr Windhorn's foot caught in a net
and he slipped, whereuron the baboon
at once made a furious onslaught on
him, fastening his teeth in the collec
tors leg. 1t was impossible to shake
off the powerful beast. In his effort
to release himself Herr Windhorn tried
to force open the jaws Of the baboon
with his hands. He was in a measure
successful, but the baboon quickly fas-
tened his fangs in Herr Windhorn's
right hand, which was injured even
more extensively than the leg. The
keeper, who hurried to his masters
aid, quickly became the subject of at
tack, the baboon infiicting several bites
liner was also bitten.
The beast afterward refused to be
overcome by half a bottle of whisky
and dose of opium powerful enough
to poison ten men was also given him
in bottle of lemonade without effect.
Eventually a large grating was fixed
outside the companion way and then
by means Of display Of fruit the
brute was coaxed near it and as he
stretched an arm through the grating
to grasp an orange he was secured.
Legs and arms were at length tightly
dashed, after which the baboon attach
ed to the grating was returned to his
cage and then released. He died four
days later and Herr Windhorn says he
thinks death was due to broken heart.

Some of the dogs are handsome,

MAY EXPECT HARD WINTER.
Climatic Disturbances Come About
BEGINNING of Each Fifty Years.

Climatic Disturbances Come About
BEGINNING of Each Fifty Years.
1t is probably only coincidence,
but as far back as any record has
been kept in England severe climatic
disturbances have come about the be-
ginning of each half century. From
he year 1904, when the Thames froze
over, similar phenomenon has occur
red in the first ten years of each new
century and roughly about fifty years
afterward regularly up to the present
day. One of these great winters is
mentioned both in Lorna Doone' and
in Pepy's diary and came in 1861. On
these occasions there has generally
been a very hot summer, due presum-
ably to some important disturbances Of
the earth's surface.
The first few years of the new cen
fury have seen some of the most
startling disturbances recorded in his
tory. These include the Galveston
flood, the Mont Pelee disaster, the San
Francisco earthquake, the similar
earthquake of Valparaiso, the recent
typhoon at Hong Kong, unusual vol
canic disturbances all over the world,
the eruption of Vesuyius, the partial
destruction of Mobile and Pensacola
and the important DETECTION of the
gulf stream in the present year to a
point considerably westward of its
usual course. This is a good long list
and, as we know, very expensive
one.
Not the least important Is the dis
turbance to the gulf stream. 1t has a
direct reference to the periodicity of
severe winters in the British islands.
The stream to some extent tempers the
heat of the summer and accounts for
the humidity of the west of Ireland
and the Hebrides, while combined with
the southwest trade wind it tempers
the winter of country which would
otherwise suffer the winter climate of
Labrador. The past summer has been
one of the hottest ever known in Eng
land Football at Manchester late in
september, WIFI q temperature VI u
in the shade and 120 in the sun, has
been one of the experiences of an abb
normal season.
Scientists tell us that these disturb
ances of the bilious earth coincide with
large development of spots on the
face of the sun. They do not profess
to know why, but authentic history re-
cords a fairly regular SUGGESTIONS of
such disturbances. They have their
periods of rest and eliminating points
of activity. We are in such a period
now and as We have so much more
to lose than we had half a century ago
we are learning that there are other
risks to which we are subject besides
those against which we think we can
insure In days when financial fore
sight has become almost a science a
San Francisco earthquake can upset
the calculations of the wisest. No
wonder that the one unfailing topic
of conversation has always been the
weather. There is no other question

MYSTERY OF THE DEEP SEA.

Swedish Scientists Investigate the
Phenomena of Dead Water"
One of the most curious marine phe-
nomena known to seamen Is that call
ed by Norwegian sailors, dead water"
which, without any visible cause, makes
a vessel lose her speed and refuse to
answer her helm. The sailors only
definite knowledge Of Its origin, says
the Scotsman, is that 1t exists solely
where there is a surface layer Of fresh
water resting upon the salt waters of
the sea. Several explanations have
been advanced by the captains of ships
of the effect of dead water, the COM
monest of which is that the two water
layers move In different directions. The
true explanation, however, was recent
ly found by Swedish Investigators. At
least so it would seem from what fol-
lows.
The experiment carried out was an
exceedingly pretty one. A large plate
glass tank was first mounted on a
wooden frame. The tank was then fill
Pu W Il NCl NSpNh win ShAl hdlCl
and a layer OF fresh water was care
fully poured on to the surface, so that
two separate water layers were OBJ
tanned. The salt water was blackened
with liquid Chinese ink before the wa
ter layers were prepared, and In this
way the different layers were made
clearly visible. A boat model was then
lowed along the tank and a silhouette
of the waves produced was obtained
by placing a white screen at a short
distance behind the tank. The waves
were also photographed by flashlight
and the results showed conclusively
that waves actually were set up at
the boundary line between the two
liquids.
Further experiments were made to
verify the sudden loss of speed due to
dead water. The boat model was drawn
across the tank and the towing string
suddenly slackened when the boat was
about half way across. In cases where
the tank contained salt water only the
boat stopped gradually, moving some
boat lengths after the towing string
had been slackened. When the tank
contained a layer OF fresh water rest
ing on salt water. on the other hand.
the boat slackened speed quite sudden
ly and moved only very short dis
lance. These experiments, carried out
on a small scale. prove coneluslvely
that the difficulties encountered within
dead water zone are really due to the
resistance experienced by the vessel in
generating invisible waves at the fresh
water-salt water boundary, although in
some particular cases the influence Of
undercurrents must also, doubtless, be
| taken into account
