WEATHER FORECAST.
Frost and Sunshine For November
Says Prophet Smith.

P. R. Smith. the Kingwood
weather prophet, has given out the
following weather forecast for No
vemDer:
November generally through
the entire month in all sections
will be attended by ligh, rains and
also minimum winstorms. The
month is comparatively free from
storm exciting causes at all the
storm periods. A more than No
vember share of sunshine may be
anticipated The lakes on the
northern boundary and the north
Atlantic are prolific sources of
storm centers within November.
Indeed the squalls may be much
modified there.
October will turn over an unfn-
ished wave of disturbance attend.
ed by some active storms and
clouds charged with electricity.
The lakes most likely will be
touched at this period by severe
gales from the northwest. Frost
and sunshine will follow on the
heels of the disturbance, which
will matcralizc about the 3rd and
4th.
About the 9th and 9TH stormy
and erratic weather will ensue,
which may have touches of boreal
on its wings, rain turning to sleet
and snow, accompanied by high
gales in some parts.
A storm wave will be central on
or about the 18th, which may run
from the nth to the 18th. On its
transit the changes of temperature
follow the declination of the moon.
On its northern declination it gets
warmer, the air currents are drawn
from the south.
On the 18th the temperature will
change to warmer, then cloudiness,
rain and snow flurries, followed by
severe frosts on the Goth and 21st.
a storm wave will be on transit
from the 22nd to the Goth AS
the wave approaches the tempera-
lures will change to warmer, fol-
lowed by cloudiness; then rain,
sleet and snow, followed by light
freezing.
On the 20th, 20 and 3oth a storm
wave will be on transit. The
weather will become much colder
as we reach December.

An AUTOMOBILE FOR ICE.
Machine To Be Used in Antarctic EX-
ploratiOn.

Three or four months ago an ex-
petition sailed from England for
the purpose of further exploring
the Antarctic continent. Its lead
er, Mr.. Shackleton, was formerly
associated with Captain Scott, who
was in charge of a previous under
taking of the same kind. Like his
former chief, Mr.. Shackleton has
planned to follow an e, ceptionally
favorable route. He will take his
ship to a remarkably deep indenta-
ton in the coast of Antarctica,
which is to be found nearly south
Of New Zealand. His change
from marine 20 land transportation
will thus be made at a point much
nearer the South Pole than any
o Their known to be accessible. To
t he right hand Of the bay Just
mentioned, sometimes called Rose
Sea, is vast region named after
Queen Victoria. To the left is
another, which Captain Scott des-
ignated King Edward Land. The
latter has not been examined with
much care and will now be freshly
studied, but Mr.. Shackleton S great
ambition is to see if he cannot 90
further south than his predecessor.
When Captain Scott temporarily
abandoned his vessel he travelled
in sledges, which were hauled by
dogs. Mr.. Shackleton has taken
dogs and Siberian ponies with him,
but he is also going to try new
mo de of transportation. An auto
mobile has been manufactured for
this special purpose in Scotland.
As will be perceived the rear
wheels are provided with immense
cogs, which should give a fine
grip on the ice, and the forward
wheels can be attached to long
runners.
Inasmuch as the temperature in
the Antarctic regions remains be-
low the freezing point most of the
time (if not always, TIE precipita-
ton there is in the form of SNOW,
which scarcely has a chance to
melt. Instead it is gradually con-
verted into ice, and a layer Of that
material of unknown thickness
covers the whole continent. This
IS not SO smooth as it might be,
but the surface is more level and
unbroken than it is over the Arctic
Sea. Whether the new vehicle to
be employed will turn out to be
better than the old ones remains
to be seen. However. if with his
dogs Mr.. Shackleton should carry
an extra supply of gasoline to some
wisely selected spot a long distance
from his ship and deposit it there
before starting in his automobile,
he would seem to have a good
chance Of beating Captain SCOTS
performance. Everything appar-
emily depends on the amount of
this fuel he can have at his COM
mand.
In the Southern Hemisphere
summer prevails when it is winter
in the Northern. If Mr.. Shack1e-
ton has not yet reached the en-
trance to Rose Sea he will proba-
bly, arrive there soon. The float
ing ice in that region is pretty
formidable obstacle to navigation,
and the best time for forcing a
ship through it will be afforded
within the next two or three
months. Perpetual daylight
hould reign within the Antarctic
Circle until late in March. Hence
the first use of the automobile will
probably be made early in the
coming year.

How Whales Are Killed.

The feature attracting the casual OBJ
server is the vessels harpoon gun, SIT
uated forward Of everything, from
into the whale. The gun looks like a
small cannon, and about a pound of
powder is used to discharge the har-
pooh, which is rammed home in the
same manner as shot would be and
tied from the outside end with small
cord, this breaking, Of course, when the
gun Is fred. The harpoon is a very
heavy missile, weighing several hun
dred pounds, which necessitates its be-
ing fired only at pretty close range.
The lance head pierces the whale and
soon afterward explodcs bomb con-
tanned in 1t, while still farther back on
the shaft are barbs, which expand on
entering the whale, making 1t next to
impossible for the harpoon to be drawn
out again. Each harpoon after being
fred has to be Strengthened by black
smith in order to again fit the gun
barrel. A stout hemp rope four inches
in circumference Is attached to the har-
poon about eighteen inches from the
point. This line Is Of great flexibility
and strength and is manufactured sole
ly for whaling in Norway. A few
fathoms of this line are coiled on a
plate directly under the gun, the re-
mainder being below decks clear to
run. There are two of these lines,
each 1900 feet in length, and some
times they are none too long for the
purpose-Metropolit Magazine.

Shakespeare In Disguise.

In these days, when 1t is the fashion
to aver that Shakespeare spells ruin
for the manager, 1t Is difficult to be-
licve that in London during the first
quarter of the last century his plays
were performed under disguised
names, so eager were the people to see
them.
1t was q royal ruling that they
should be given only in the so called
patent theaters"-Covent Garden and
Drury Lane-and to evade this law
'Othello" became "Is He JealousT'
Macbeth" masqueraded oe Murder
viii Out" "Thc Merchant of Venice"
figured on the bills as Diamond Cut
Diamond" Romeo and Juliet" pro-
claimed itself as 'IIow TO Die For
Love-" while Hamlet hid behind the
far cry title "Methinks See My
Father."-Scrap Book.

OF dimple fiickering In one cheek.
The estate in life wherein just now she
found herself was Clearly not displeas-
ing to her. Cautiously she peeped over
the edge of the platform and said to
Jack, hating below 1t: Il wish you
would come up, Mr.. Delany. We've
are making UP story. Mr.. Hindon is
going TO write it, and you can't mag
inc how fascinating it is"
IF can't imagine it, can find out"
Jack said energetically, stepping back
five PAGES to survey the big oaks
spread of branches. The branches
were broad, and some OF them pendu-
lous. Upon the farther side one sway
ing TIP came within six feet of the
ground With short, running, leap
Jack caught the tip, felt it slip almost
away from him, but managed to keep
hold, draw it down and clutch it hand
over hand until he came to place that
was stout enough to swing upon Back
md forth, back and forth, he clung and
swung, until at last he caught foot
hold in toward the trunk. Inside three
minutes he was sitting upon branch
level with the platform, and but a lit
tie way from it, saying, as he lighted
cigarette: 'Is this a detective story?
You can put me in it as porch climber
or something"
You're in it already" Elspeth said,
smiling with soft malice. HindOn sat
blocking the way down, divided be-
tween laughing and glowering. "Yes--
you're in it, all right enough" he said,
nodding toward Delany. Trouble is
to work up a climax that shall leave
you out of it altogether"
II won't be left out-of the story
nor anything" Jack cried, laughing
gayly, rising and balancing himself as
be spoke. 1t was a perilous undertake
ing there on the swaying bough, but
he accomplished 1t, stood stockstill
with folded arms for breadths
space, then leaped lightly to the plat
form, landing fairly in the middle of
it. 1t was almost twenty feet in air,
well stayed betwiXt two giant boughs.
But the tree in it's youth had been
topped, so down where the boughs
parted unseen, unsupported, there was
a blotch, rotted and cankerous, weak
eping fatally the sound outer wood.
Therefore under the impact of Della
ny's leap one bough broke loose
at the trunk and crashed down, carry
ing with it the rallied floor and those
resting upon it.
AS by a miracle Elspeth was flung
far out amid cushiony, we'll leafed
branchlets and got up with no worse
hurt than the shock. Hindon, white
and breathless, also scrambled to his
feet, but with an arm dangling Imply
beside him. Delany lay motionless,
senseless. He had struck his head In
falling, cutting an ugly cash.
Elspeth dropped down beside him
and laid her cheek against his, crying
softly: sack! Jack! You won't go
and leave me, J3ek! This is Elspeth!
You love me! You will live for me!
Darling open your eyes! God can't be
so cruel as to take you just as 1 know
how love you"
There was futter of the heavy eye
lids Hindon, white and remorseful,
touched Elspeth's shoulder. "He is
only stunned" he said. But, Of
course, you will never forgive me-
"There is nothing to forgive" FL
speth said. looking up at him with wet
eyes. Indeed, l owe you much. 1t
was all in fun. and but for it might
not have found out in time about tile
obstacles"

well and favorably known throughout
the district, which he has twice served
as senator, that it seems hardly nee
essary to say more than enough to
merely call attention to his candi-
