Predicts Dire Calamities.

ROME, Nov. 12.-Signor Alfani,
director of the Florence Observatory, states
that the sunspots, which he calculated are
~ times the size of the earth and which
will reach the solar meridian about the
middle of November, are likely to lead to
violent magnetic disturbances, resulting in
storms, floods, volcanic eruptions and
earthquakes.
The warning has attracted attention
from the fact that former predictions by
Signor Albania have been realized.

HITS MARK FROM AFFAIR
NEW HONOR TO ROOSEVELT AS
LoNG-DIsTANcE SHOT.
President Stands in Washington and
Makes a Fine Rifle Score in the
Opening Event for Marks-
men in Charleston, S. C.

Charleston, S. C.-President Roose-
velt may congratulate himself on be-
ing the champion long-distance rife
shot of the world. Standing in Wash
ingtOn, he shot a rifle three times and
hit a target each time in this city,
more than 450 miles away. While he
did not make a buIls-eye, he yet man
aged to get within the "a circle twice
and the q circle once, and so scored
SO out of a possible score of rs, a
very creditable performance for
person who shoots only between ses-
sions Of congress, international Incl
de4ts and other big and engrossing
things.
The occasion Of the target practice
Of Mr.. Roosevelt was the opening of
the fifth triennial schuetzenfest of the
National Schuetzen Bund of America,
in Charleston. 1t was the wish of the
rifiemen to have Mr.. Roosevelt there
in person, SO that they could show
him that a rife could speak as well
in German as in rough rider. As he
was busy in Washington, the presi-
dent could not Oblige, but he wanted
to shoot, and did so.
Here the secret must come out.
Mr.. Roosevelt did not use the White
House as his shooting gallery, despite
the strenuous reports that sometimes
find their way past Pete, the bulldog
Strategy was used, and Lieut. w
I,l
must be confessed that Lieut.. Farrow
aimed the gun. but President Roose-
welt shot it off, and the record is his.
Lieut. FarrOw brought a 32-caIiber
rife made by him several years ago,
and after three weeks work ad-
justed it on pedestal on which it
could be held for shooting at the tar
get Attached to it was a magnetic
contriyance, which, by the completion
Of an electric circuit, pulled a deli
cate hair trigger and did the shoot
ing. The button TO complete the
circuit was in the White House.
But the bare pleasure of pressing
the button was not all that the presf-
dent was to have for his part in the
performance. Near the rife was
rigged a big telephone receiver, and
when Mr.. Roosevelt made his shots he
was able to hear the welcome crack Of
the rifle.
Gov. Ansel then conveyed to the
president the congratulations of the
National Schuetzen Bund and it's
guests on the excellent score he had
made and the thanks of them all for
opening the fest. The band played
MY Country, 'Tis of Thee" and there
was a great salyo of cheers. The
president said that he could hear the
cheering and the music very distinct
ly, and he vas sure that everybody
was having a jolly time, and he would
like to be with them

Make Clothes from Paper.

Washington. - Correspondence be-
tween Consul w. J. Pike, of Zittau,
and the president of the chamber of
commerce of that German city reveals
that there is a firm in South Germany
which makes paper clothing. Just
who wears these garments is not di-
vulged Following is an extract from
the letter to Consul Pike.
"In cur district, so far as we are in
formed, yarns Of wOolen and cotton,
mixed with paper, are not produced.
II such is the case in other parts Of
Saxony we are not aware Of the fact.
From parties versed in this matter
we learn that a material is spun, out
side of SaXOny, from paper stuff OBJ
tanned from wood and known as sill
valin. The spinning Of this silvalin
yarn has up to the present only been
done by a firm in South Germany. In
Saxony the manufacture of such ma
teriaIs has never passed the trial

Lone Student in School Founded by
Andrew Carnegie.

Plttsburg, Pa-TEe School of Brick
laying, intended TO be one OF the most
important departments of the great
$lO,OOO,O0O technical schools which
Andrew Carnegie founded here. has
one scholar. The daily routine which
the future knight OF the troweI goes
through and the STAFF of instructors
maintained solely for him is causing
much comment.
When Mr.. Carnegie founded the
technical schools he insisted that the
departments first opened must be
those for the purpose of teaching
young men to become expert artisans.
Bricklaying looked as if it might be
popular here. and the school of brick
laying was the first in commission.
While other departments were quick
ly filled up with scholars the brick
laying game didn't seem to appeal to
PIttsburg's young men, but finally one
student applied
After passing the necessary eXamin-
alton Daniel Chisholm was enrolled
and began his studies at the school
after paying his fee of $40 a year. To
teach prospective bricblayers there
had been enga~ad by the school a pro
lessor at a salary of $l5 a day and
an expert bricGlayer, who receives six
dollars, or the union wage.

A NATURAL BAROMETER.
Stone That ST. Louis Man Says Fore
tells the Weather.

St Louisa storekeeper on South
Broadway has a piece of stone about
as large as a mans fist in which he
places more confidence as a weather
indicator than he does in all the
weather bureaus of the country.
He brought it with him from Ger
many when he came to ST Louis many
years ago, and although his German
neighbors told him that the stone
would not work in America he finds
that it operates about as we'll in Mis-
souri, as it did in the old country.
He says there is a mine of it in Sax
Ony and another somewhere in Rus
sia, and that in parts of both coun-
tries near to the mines many country
people provide themselves with Jumps
of the stone for use as family barOme-
ters. 1t is composed of limestone, al
most as soft as chalk, with nitre, clay
and rock salt
When the air is dry the stone is
light gray, with white spots of salt
and nitre, but when the air is filed
with moisture and a storm is coming
on the salt and nitre turn black. The
principle is recognized in the manu-
facture of one or two patent fancy
barometers, but whether the inventors
took the hint from the stone cannot
be ascertained.

ODD DROUGHT Fer A TOWN.
Grant, Mich, Will Co Dry Till Some
One Builds Eotel.

Grant, Mich-At a special meeting
of the Grant village council the fol
lowing resolution was adopted by a
vote of to l:
RESOLVED, That we, the council o.
the village of Grant. Newaygo county,
Mich, do declare that we will here:
after approve of no saloon bonds with
in the corporate limits of said village
OF Grant, except when the proposed
saloon business is to be connected
with hotel, as hotel bar, such hotel
TO be constructed of brick, stone or
other substantial material other than
frame building, and steam heated.
Provided, that whenever any re.
spOnsible party or person shall own, in
fee simple, suitable location within
said village, and shall contract for the
erection thereon of a suitable hotel
building, to be erected within three
months of the date of said contract, OF
sufficient proportions, then we. the
said village council will Immediately
grant license for a saloon, to be con.
Quoted in connection with a hotel.
Provided, further, that a copy Of
the contract giving specifications for
the building proposed to be erected,
shall be filed with the clerk of said
village council"
Grant has long ago outgrown her
hotel service, every day from one to
ten persons being unable to obtain ac-
cOmmodatiOns. This condition has So
interfered with the welfare of the
town that the council has said Ito the
first man who contracts to give Us
ample care for our growing hotel busi-
ness we will Immediately grant a IL
quor license. Until such time. We go
dry"
As Grant, with her numerous little
industries and a genuine building
boom now on, is a splendid location
for a first-class hotel, it is probable
that the field will not be open ten
days

BERLIN POSTAL TUBES.
Connect the Central Office with the
Principal Stations.

Berlin.-The Berlin postal authOri-
ties are revolutionizing the convey
ance of letters and parcels.
The idea on which they are expert
menting is to have an underground
tube with a large enough circumfer-
ence to admit man in a STOPPING pos
ture. These tubes are to connect the
central post office with the principal
stations and with the district offices.
Two sets Of rails are built in this
tube or tunnel, one over the other, not
side by side. The upper set of rails
is supported on the sides of the tube.
thus practically dividing it in two.
Small carriages, running on two
wheels, are automatically driven by
electricity along these rails.
No locomotive is used nor is there
any attendant with the carriage. AS
many as six of these carriages can be
run together for conveying letters and
parcels from the arrival station to the
central post Office and thence to the
various district, CT vice versa
BY this means letters can be deIiv-
cred in any part of the city in less
than a fourth of the time formerly
required. So far the scheme is not
beyond the experimental stages. but
it promises to be a success and to
Danish from the streets the mail van,
with all its poetry and romance.

MAKES COPPER IN LABORATORY.
English Chemist Discovers New Meth
cd of Producing the Metal.

BaltimOre.-Dr. Ira Remsen, pTesi-
dent of Johns Hopkins university, is
authority for the statement that Sir
William Ramsay, a famous chemist Of
Cambridge university, has discovered
the method of making artificial cop
per, and the great discovery viii be
made known to science when Sir Viii
liam will read a paper on the subject
before the Royal Chemical society Of
Great Britain.
Prof. Remsen, who is prominent as
a chemist, has a private letter from
the famous Englishman stating that
Sir William has succeeded in ac-
complishing the production of copper
by the synthetic or combining process
from the elements, sodium, Iithium
and potassium.
A combination of these elements
treated with radium vaper, gives as a
product copper sulphate, which is
readily broken down into copper.

PICTURES WARN WORLDS END.
Whole Maryland Community Excited
Over Strange Phenomenon.

Hancock, Md.-Intense excitement
prevails here, and many persons are
preparing for the end of the world as
the result of a series of remarkable
pictures representing scenes that look
like heaven and hell that have ap-
peared on the walls of a room in the
house of Emory LOpp, in Morgan
county, West Virginia, two miles from
here.
Some persons who have viewed the
pictures say that no human hand could
have placed them there.
The whole neighborhood is aroused
over the strange affair, and crowds
of people are visiting The house. The
superstitiOus believe that the pictures

The pictures appear in distinct out

of flame and demons, while others
show angels and beautiful scenes. sup

Lopp is at loss to understand the
mystery, and has abandoned his
home. A thorough investigation of the
matter will be made by skeptical per
