Up.to.Date Weather Reports.

The latest work upon which the
United States Weather Bureau has en-.
tered is IA system of meteorological OBJ
servations from vessels at sea by wire
less telegraphy and the simultaneous
issuance of weather forecasts and
storm warnings to those vessels. The
Weather Bureau has prepared a special
code by means of which exact informa
tion as to date and hour, latitude and
longitude of the vessel. atmospheric
pressure, temperature, force and direc.
tion of the wind, and the character Of
the sky are all compressed into four
words. AS soon as any coast wireless
telegraph station receives such dis
patch from vessels, the message is to
be delivered at once to the Weather
Bureau at Washington. Should the
contents Of this message be Of such
importance as to demand special storm
warnings, notices will be prepared and
dispatched by wireless telegraphy to
all vessels in the vicinity affected. The
value Of such service might be cited
when the experience Of the steamship
Campania is remembered. On October
II last, this liner was caught In hur-
ricane. The storm was found to have
had no great area and 1t is stated by
the Weather Bureau that had the sys-
tenn proposed been in use at that time,
warning Of Its existence might have
enabled the Campania and other yes.
sells to avoid its center Of activity. An.

Squire Meadows, who lived down at
Four Corners, was classed as "mean
old son-of-a-gun." He didn't mind
buying new farm implements every
year and allowing them to rust and
ruin out in the winter rains and SHOWS,
but he would not buy his wife sew
ing machine or .dish-washing ma
chine to lessen the labors of house
work. She was never allowed srend-
ing money, and whenever anything
necessary was wanted for the house
the Squire always went himself to the
village store and made trade Of some
farm stun for the article desired.
One day the good wife wanted a
package of darning needles, and told
her husband SO.
"Now, Abigail" he said. "what's
ther use of gettin' 30 'stravagant?
Winters coming on, an thar's that
fodder cutter ter buy; can't yer get
along somehow with lessT'
The argument ended by a reduction
to single needle. Squire Meadows
took fresh laid egg down to the coun-
try store and inquired of the store
keeper whether he would trade a
darning needle for an egg. The owner
was willing and the trade was made.
Now 1t seems that this store, in nd
dition to being grocery, dry goods
establishment and post office, was
also one where liquid refreshments
were dispensed. The owner was
known as a man OF great cordiality
to his customers. often inviting them
to "treat on him."

From time to time the United States
department. OF Commerce and Labor
1as received reports from It's various
s0nsuls in Germany giving accounts
sf . meat famine In the Faderland.
Tho scarcity of cattle in Germany IL
probably due primarily to the strict
laws of that country forbidding impor-
tation Of live stock from countries in
which certain animal diseases are
known to exist. The elaborate and
complicated system of Inspections and
prohibitions imposed upon the impor-
tation Of meats and domestic animals
by the new meat inspection law of
Germany, which went into effect few
months ago. had the effect Of increas-
ing the prices of pork, beef, veal and
mutton by diminishing the available
supply. On account of few cases of
Texas fever which existed among the
cattle coming from the southern and
Western part OF the United States, live
stock from this country are excluded;
similarly because cases of foot and
mouth disease were known to exist in
Russia, Denmark and Sweden, cattle
from those countries are likewise de-
MED admission.
Soon after the new inspection law
was put into effect the imports Of live
stock and meat supplies greatly de-
creased until the situation in Germany
was extremely grave. Prices asked for
dressed meat went quite beyond the
reach of many working people in the

ed that the butchers and meat mer-
chants were taking advantage Of the
situation and charging double prices,
Investigation showed that they were
in reality In serious difficulties, for In.
stead Of increased profits they we're
making less money than before the
law went into effect. A number OF
them announced to the municipal au-
thoritics their intention to relinQuish
their business. Mass meetings have
been held by citizens and meat dealers
with an endeavor to induce the au-
thorities to make the meat inspection
laws less stringent, but 10 far without
result.

kets of Europe at the present time are
to be found In Germany. There are
extensive and well equipped establish

SECRETARY SHAW WAS LATE.
tie Narrowly Escaped Call Down
by Ngilant Matchman.

Secretary Of the Treasury Shaw was
three minutes late in reaching the Treas
ury Department the other morning and
narrowly escaped being held up by the
vigilant watchman ut the door.
II was raining whcn he arrived, and
he hurried through one of the seldom
used entrances TO the building.
1t is one of the regulations of his de-
partmcnt that all employees arriving late
shall register the time of their arrival
at desk near the entrance.
Mr.. Shaw did not consider himself
amcnablc to this regulation and hurried
to the elevator to go to his Office, on the
second floor. The watchman noticed his
apparent carelcssncss in not registering,
and. not recognizing him. hurried after
the Secretary to remind him Of his neg
lcct.
When the watchman reached the ele-
vator, however. he heard the conductor
address his passenger as "Mr. Seere-
tav."

The eject Of distance between trees
planted before 1880 was studied In Its
relation TO yield. Taking figures from
an average Of four years 1t was found
that trees planted 80 by 30 feet apart
yield 1856 bushels per acre; trees 81 by
81, to 35 by IS feet apart, 222 bushels
per acre. and trees SO by 36 to 40 by 40
feet apart yield 229 bushels per acre a
year. Observations in the counties
showed that while the site is not a
very important factor the best site Is
doubtless one that Is sufficiently ele
