Cheap Homemade Barometer.

A weather man described the other
day cheap homemade barometer.
He said 1t was only necessary to
take a piece Of string about Is inches
long and to soak 1t several hours in
a strong solution of salt and water.
After being dried the string should
have light weight tied to one end
and be hung up against a wall, mark
being made to show where the weight
reaches.
The barometer is now complete. IT
is as accurate as 500 instrument
The weight rises for wet weather and
falls for fine.

faced an unccasinE fire OF questions
from the federal counsel, Frank H.
Kellogg. and wnen adjournment was
taken until Monday. the head of the
oil combine was still being cross-eX'
aminel on the charge that the com
pany in its early days accepted rebates
to the disadvantage of Its rivals.
The enormous earning power OF the
oil combination was sharply brought
out in Fridays hearing when MIR. Rock

ard OIL had paid dividends amounting
to $4,000, 900 in 1907, said 1t had
earned as much more and that this
was added to the company's surplus.
which was stated by the governments
counsel to be S3uO.000.0O0
II was further declared by Mr.. kel-
loeG that the company within the last
eight years had earned nearly half
billion dollars.
Rockefeller was forced to explain in
detail a rebate agreement with the
Pennsylvania Railway Company in
1877. At this time the company was
engaged in crushing out competition

The trust made another agreement

and New York Central terminals and

ard. The oil king pleaded that the
charges were fair.
1t also dictated the freight rates to
be charged Its rivals.
Rockefeller admitted that the trust
had received rebates through an
agreement entered into by the South
Improvement Company, Standard
subsidiary. The witness declared that
this agreement was open to all trans
porters of refined oil. but when asked
whether the independents were In.
formed OF the agreement, he replied:
II could not say"
Latr he admitted that precautions
were taken to keep the agreement sc.

In response to questions about the
hazardous nature Of the oil business.
owing TO the possibility OF failure of
supply, Rockefeller said that the pro.
duction of crude oil in the Pennsyl-
vania field had steadily increased from
1862 to 1900.
