HOT WEATHER SMOKING.

Not Up TO the Average of the Pleas
anter Seasons of the Year.
That very hot weather or very cold
weather--ln fact, any sort Of mcoin-
Portable weather-is bad for trade Is
the opinion Of the great majority of re-
tallers, says the Tobacco Journal.
There are a few dealers who take
the contrary view, asserting that the
per capita consumption of cigars Is not
at all affected by the weather-certain-
ly not by hot weather
Here Is the principal thing that
makes dealers believe that men do not
smoke much In hot weather." said one
experienced and observant dealer In
small city. I'm hot weather sales ara
very short during the day. Lots OF
regular smokers 20 all day without
smoking.
But II you want TO convince your
self that they do still smoke Just make
a round of the places where cigars are
sold after dinner Every one OF them
has It's bunch OF patrons, who stay
around all evening and smoke.
THE man who has rot smoked all
day makes up for 1t in the evening. II
he Is in the habit of smoking six ci-
CARS in n day he will not quit with
less than four or FIVE during the even
ing. Then there Will be a cool day oc-
casionally, when he will make up for
any shortage that may exist
This may be true of small towns,
hut we are still Of the opinion that n
hot spell In New York decreases the
consumption of cigars or course this
Is in n large measure due to the fach
that when the temperature Is abnor-
mally high people endeavor 10 get out
of town MS much as possible.
But there is also that considerable
class OF occasional smokers who only
smoke when they can do SO in comfort
and most OF whose smoking Is done Qua
of doors. Those men who have never
got into the habit Of smoking at homa
or at their places Of business are prone
| to stop altogether when weather condI'
| tons are unpleasant.
or course their Individual consump'
| ton Is small, but In city like New
York the aggregate Is considerable.

'PoPuled:5ience.


Tobacco dealers In India are greatly
troubled by moth or fly that finds its
way Into box Of cigars or tobacco and
lays an egg that soon develops into a
destructive worm or grub, which bores
through the wrapper into the body of
the cigar and ruins 1t. Hardly any
thing viii keep these pests out except
to incase each cigar in a bottle or wrap
1t In heavy tinfoil.
A new plague protective or rat poison
has been discovered In India. 1t con-
sits OF a pasty substance lnoculated
with bacillus. According TO report
rat which takes enough to cover n
pins head will not only die, but will
infect every other rat with which It
comes In contact. Five villages have
been selected by the government in
which to make tests of the new poison.
Recent experiments show that the
popular belief that warts are communi-
cable is warranted" says n writer IN
oculatlon of healthy tissue with blood
growth of similar excrescence. 1t is
thought that these growths contain an
ultramicroscopic germ to which Is due
the transmission from one person to
another. AT all events. persons who
have warts should take measures to
have them removed at once"
The Renard road motor-traln con
slstIng Of a motor of 70 horse power
and three coaches, two for passengers
and one for baggage, was exhibited at
the Olympia Motor Show In England
recently and proved 50 successful that
the possibility of the extensive use of
such trains Is seriously discussed. Each
unit Of the Renard train has longi-
tudinal driving shaft and gearing for
the wheels. Universal couplings con-
meet up the driving shafts with the mo-
tor on the tractlon-car. The unity of
movement established In the driving
and steering apparatus Of the entire
train enables 1t to travel on the road
as easily, it is asserted, as single
motor.
1t appears that France which a few
years ago led the world in the manu-
facture Of automobiles, is relatively
dropping back, at least In the number
of machines produced. For instance,
in 1900 France manufactured 10,039 au-
tomoblles, England 2,4S1, and Germany
2,312. In 1906 the figures for the same
countries were respectively $4,000 o.
coo and $4,000. In the same year the
United States, beginning with a few
hundred in 1902, leaped to the front,
producing $4,000 machines, 1900 more
than France. Italy and Belgium have
also made enormous strides In the lasa
two or three years, the figures for those
! countries In 1906 being respectively
! $4,000 and 10000.

at has often been asserted that one
of the great drawbacks to the general
use Of wlndmills Is the fact that when
most needed the wind is at fault" says
the Technical World Magazine. They
may serve passably well for milling
and pumping purposes as they do when
placed In localities where there are
regular, brisk wind to depend upon.
But for mechanical work that can only
be carried on during the ordinary eight
to ten hour wOrkday this becomes a
serious inconvenience. AS wind power

Of power for use at the time and place
required would make 1t possible TO OBJ
tain a uniform power during eight or
ten hours from the intermittent power
of the twenty-four.
This Is exactly what a new power
accumulator just brought out is design
cd to do, and not only to accumulate
intermittent power for twenty four
hours, but for several hundred hoars
when necessary"

I'VE should earnestly pray that the
spirit of righteousness may grow
greater in the hearts of all and that

bankers of this city are unit in the
belief that eastern banking conditions
are not going to affect Portland or
north Pacific financial institutions.
They state without reservation that
money was never so plentiful, nor gen
eral business better. Credit balances
with the east are and have been for
many months in favor Of the Pacific
northwest banks, and money is con
tlnually being loaned in the east in
stead OF coming west for that purpose.
Crops throughout the Pacific north
west will be of record-breaking guam
tity-63, 100000 bushels of wheat-at
record prices. Portland bankers say
they are interested in New York finan-
.cial conditions only because New York

Bankers, business men and the public
in Salt Lake City enter the present
week with no fear of local financial
disturbances. Each bank in Salt Lake
doubled its reserve with the first un-
easiness in the money situation sew
eral months ago. This policy had the
effect of allaying any apprehension
that might otherwise have been caused
by the disturbances in the east. There
has been no unusual drawing of de-
posits, and no hesitation about intrust-
ing money to the banks. The mining
exchange, one of the best financial
barometers, showed signs of recovery
at yesterdays calls The depression
in the value of all securities has tight

is higher than usual Call money went
