10 Tell Next Year,s Weather.

To predict weather a year in ad-
vance is the latest feat that scien-
lists are trying to accomplish. The
Technical World Magazine contains
an article by John Elfreth Watkins,
In which he tells Of the latest ad-
vances in weather forecastings and
Of the new United States astrophysi-
cal laboratory in Washington.
Variations of the heat radiation of
the sun are the basis for the new
science OF long distance weather pre-
dictions, and special instruments
have been devised to meet ahe re-
quirements Of this special work. One
Of the most interesting of these in
struments is the bolometer, which
VIII detect variations in temperature
OF the millionth part of a degree.
Through the work OF this branch Of
the weather bureau the government
hopes to be able to tell the farmer
whether or not he will have wet,
dry, warm or cold season, so that he
may regulate his crops accordingly
The aims and methods of this new
science are given a popular and inter
esting presentation and the article is
well illustrated.

HOMES Or HALF-ciWLlzED NA

vent Surprise BY Enemy--Life
IN Far-oH Country Ideal
for savages.

Boston.-Of all the habitations Of
man none Is more strange to the eyes
of civilized person than the houses
in New Guinea. the largest island in
the world.
Lying north Of the continent Of Aus
tralia. and south of the Philippines,
New Guinea is peopled by semi-sav-
age tribes, to whom the ways Of white
men are as yet so new that many Of
their ancient customs survive.
Among these is the building Of
houses in trees, or on pilings over the
land or the water. In some parts Of
the island are whole villages built half
a mile from shore. Everywhere in the
interior of the island the houses are
built several feet above the ground.
and In certain communities the tree
house. survival Of the days when the
tribes were usually at war with one
another. may still be seen.
The primary purpose Of the tree
house is to protect its owner against
surprise from an enemy. In war
time he takes his family. arms and
provisions. climbs to his house and
draws the ladder up after him.
But why cannot his enemy cut down
the tree, may be asked. Such thing
wonId be simple if the tree cutter
could wear a suit OF armor and have
an ak that would resist the dulling ef
fects Of wood as hard as Iignum vitae
The tribes Of New Guinea have nc
means of protecting themselve:
against the poisoned arrows Of an en-
emy except their shields, and shielG
would be rather awkward to manag'
when cutting down a tree having ;
family at the top dropping dowI
stones, hot water and poisoned dart
and arrows. Besides, the savagei
had only stone axes in the days whel
the tree houses were used as fort
resses.
| In these days the tree houses o
New Guinea serve the same purpos
as all the other elevated dwelling
on the isIand-they keep their occr
pants safe above the fever-soake
ground, with its deadly night misti
and they also keep off deadly beasts

In districts where the construction
OF permanent tramways would be out
of the question, owing to prohibitiye
initial cost, there are in use in Ger.
many and France electric transport
systems running on the ordinary
roads. says a writer in Engineering
They drew their supply Of electricity
from overhead wires similar to those
in use in tramway working. Provi-
sion is made for passenger traffic by
means Of omnibuses run singly or
with a trailer, while goods traffic is
handled by motor vehicles drawing
two or three trailers. The first of
such lines was opened in 1901, and
since that time quite number OF
services have been inaugurated in diff
ferent districts. The routes are for
the most part comparatively short.
One OF the longest lines is that Of
the Charbonnieres-les-Binius. near Ly-
ons, which is worked with six mo
tor cars Of seating capacity Of
SO passengers each. A line is also
worked between the towns Of Neu-
enahr, Walporthain and Ahrweiler. A
line is worked regularly in connec'
ton with an induatrial center in the
neighborhood Of Wurzen, Germany
over which some 80 wagons are taker
either way daily.

John Carter stood at his own dor
with a coil Of rope in his hand and an
expression Of fear on his face His
wife was within, scrubbing; she had
cleaned her doorstep and was just
scrubbing the last square yard Of her
kitchen. A shadow across the broad
patch of sunshine which fell on the
floor made her look up. When she
saw her husband standing there with
muddy boots on her clean doorstep
her ire was reused, and quickly found
voice.

John stepped back and looked down
with fear and sorrow at the havoc he
had caused. On the freshly scrubbed
floor were two large muddy foot
marks and the trail of dirty
rope. He had hurried UP from
the pond where he had gone tc
water the horses, and the end
of the wet rope had trailed all the
way through the white dust. His wife
saw the mark too, and the first-mut

a single break into the second stage
