LOOKING BACKWARD.
Weather Man Gives Result OF meteor
ological observations.

The weather man. looking backward over
a period of thirty-sx years, has given the
public the result Of his observation In me-
teorological data covering that lapse OF
time. It Is shown that past Septemoers
have been freakish, but, he adds, the DATA
must not be construed as forecast OF the
month which will begin tomorrow. For IN
stance, the highest temperature recordeo
for the month was 104 degrees In the SHADE
September Z 1881. The lowest temperature
was SO degrees, or degrees above the
freezing point, September o, 1904. The
coolest September was in 1871, with an
average temperature Of 81 degrees, and the
warmest month was in 1881, with an aver,
age temperature of II degrees. The earliest
date on which the first killing frost oc-
Cured in autumn was October 2, 1890.
The report says clear days have FREEDOM
mated over cloudy ones in past Septembers,
the average of the former being IL. as
against of the latter. The average of
partly cloudy days during the month has
been 10.
Five miles has been the average hourly
velocity of the wind, although gale on
September %. 1895. attained a velocity of
GO miles. September rainfall during the
past thirty-six years has ranged all the way
from Ola inch, in 1884. to 1881 inches, in
1876. The average precipitation for the
month has been 3.47 inches. The greatest
amount Of precipitation recorded in any
consecutive twenty-four hours was on Sep
TENDER 1916, 1874, when 5.46 inches fell in
that time.

The "Red Ink" War,


From Success Magazine.
Lovers OF peace may find much to encour-
age them in the conduct of the recent
war" between the United States and
Japan. This contest marks the downfall.
let us hope forever. of the old, slow, dam
gerous style of warfare. 1t presages the
glad time when cannon shall be beaten into
printing presses and swords into editors
shears. Indeed, it has presaged the best
virtues of The Hague.
The conflict was as brief as it was blood
less. Some time was wasted, 1t Is true,
in determining the cause of the war; it
being argued that tons of pink paper
should not be sacrificed and barrels of red
ink shed without good reason. But when
at last. some one hit upon 1.-The supremacy
OF the Pacific" as an excellent excuse for a
war, the oriental brush wielders and the
occidental pencil pushers sprang into the
fray. Duplex long distance presses were
run day and night and strong armed pa
triots manned the rapid-fire typewriters.
The enemy was besieged with thirteen
inch headlines. Yet no one was hurt. Sol
diers were not called upon to brave the UNI
known dangers of canned beef; battleships
faced only batteries of cameras.
The dogs of war have lost their teeth.
You can trust them now with the children.

The quarter eagles show a big advance

The same coin at the 1890 sale brought s33,
while $21O was paid for similar specimen
last year.
Last year the rare quarter eagle of 1884,
with motto, perhaps the scarcest of the
denomination of later issue, brought $3.50
at the Smith sale, and last March this was
advanced to $3.50 at the Wilson sale.
The three-dollar goldpieces are making
rapid advances in value a proof specimen
OF 1876. only forty-five of which were
coined bringing $135 at the Stamm sale,
whereas at the Parmelee sale proof set
nations of $50. $40. IS. 50. $3.50 and 81,

three dollar piece dated 1873, of which
twenty-five pieces were coined. sold for 50
at the Parmelee sale, while the same coin
brought $3.50 at the Stamm sale.
The advance in the values of the one
dollar gold pieces has kept pace with the
others. The rarest of these. the 1861 issue,
struck at the Dahlonega mint of which but
four specimens are known. brought $3.50 at
the Wilson sale last March. A New Yorker
offered $500 for the specimen ten minutes
later and was informed that not less than
$500 would buy 1t.
All kinds Of gold coins are increasing in
proportion, and even the Bechtler pieces
struck in North Carolina have made big
jumps in value, several times the face value
Of certain Of these coins now being paid.
whereas formerly they would not bring even
face value.
The small California gold dollars, halves
and quarters also share in the boom, and as
much as 800 and 400 per cent increase is
now being paid for these little pieces, which
few years ago went begging at face
value.

A Gracious Absence,
From Putnam's,

The half hour in the drawing room before
dinner was an interesting first impression
Of that indescribable combination of warmth
and frost known as a London hostess.
Further experience taught me that Mrs.
Marchbanks was a typical one.
The London hostess invariabe mode of
procedure is a sudden inordinate gush OF
welcome followed Immediately by an Icy
stare. By the time you have politely re-
sponded to the welcome your hostess has
forgotten your existence. Nay, more. she
seems almost to have forgotten her own.
She is vague, elf-absorbed and quite OBJ
livious to your existence. l have heard Of
a lady with a gracious presence. The Lon
don hostess is best described by a gracious
absence.

this way. The ring shown in the illustra-
ton has an adjustable band on the portion
opposite to the setting. This band Is a
metallic strip, the ends OF which overlap,
forming q wedgelike incline. A clamping
collar encircles both end sections being
movable lengthwise and adapted to clamp
them together. This device should prove
